But before heading onto the road of extreme-sport, you must know that it takes a lot of technical know-how to achieve heart-pounding, earth-shaking speed. The pedal-to-the-metal excitement is not only due to an experienced driver with some fancy moves; the foundation is laid by STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
