DRIVER. BUILDER.
BUSINESSMAN.
PROFESSIONAL BAD INFLUENCE.

Mitch Sanders is a driver, builder and automotive project developer. This site follows the machinery, engineering decisions and track work as the program develops.

The motorsport program joins modern BMW performance engineering with the chassis and culture that made drifting matter. It is not a catalogue of finished cars. It documents why a choice was made, what the workshop found and whether the change survived the track.

Mitch's automotive businesses—including MPerformance.parts, 8HP.shop and GearSwap.ai—intersect with the program through parts knowledge, engineering, technology and the practical reality of running automotive operations. This remains a motorsport story first.

Philosophy: build the car, establish a baseline, test one meaningful change at a time and publish the result honestly. The failures belong in the story because that is where most of the useful engineering lives.
