Our Story

The Beginning

Montecito Racing was founded in Los Angeles, California by Andrew McDonald and Jack Berry, with a vision to build a competitive motorsport team. What began as a hobby, turned into a goal to become the intersection of racing excellence and charitable impact.

"At the beginning, I did not know exactly what Montecito Racing was going to be. The idea began as a virtual racing team built around competition and cars. Over time, as I reflected on the impact we could make, I saw the level of work being done at Cedars-Sinai, it became clear that this team should exist to support organizations like this through racing and fundraising."

— Andrew McDonald, Founder & Driver #88

"The concept is straightforward. Racing already captures people's attention — they love watching, following, and being part of it. We want to channel that enthusiasm into something bigger. As our team expands, every event we enter, every race we run, and every piece of content we share becomes a chance to spotlight meaningful charities and invite fans to contribute to that cause."

— Jack Berry, Founder & Driver #2
