MPI steering wheels are bred in racing with a passion for performance and safety by legendary racer Max Papis. Max and his wife, Tatiana Fittipaldi Papis, founded MPI to take every aspect of construction and safety to heart, in the most accurate and dedicated way possible. Before becoming an MPI product, wheel structures are required to pass rigorous internal quality control tests. Amongst these tests, a torque structural steering wheel test and a loaded stress test simulates the driver's hands on the wheel during a severe impact. Steering wheel technology, comfort, R&D, and racer safety is evident in MPI products which is why MPI wheels are preferred at the top levels of racing today. The MP Series is the top of the line used by many NASCAR drivers today!
