Our Story — OLDBAC
It started in a garage. Four parking spots. No funding, no team. Just the decision to build.
Every skill was learned because the car needed it. The workshop became a factory on the Baltic coast.
Tested at the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel in Torino. Impressive downforce level.
Three circuit lap records. The first race was run on a barely-tested car. The team proved what they could build.
The next machine is already in development. One mountain. One attempt.
The Programme
What Has Been Built
Founded by Tõnis Vanaselja in Estonia. No factory backing. No outside investment. Every skill required was developed in-house.
Over a decade the programme has grown from a shed to a full workshop, from a sketch to a carbon fibre monocoque, from a concept to three circuit lap records and a Pikes Peak entry in development.

Verification
Independent Proof
Pininfarina called the downforce level impressive. ERR News covered the Porsche Ring record. The Oldbac Kalana has its own Wikipedia entry. Carrozzieri Italiani named it the most exciting motorsport development in Northern Europe.
The claims on this site are verifiable. The car exists. The records are public. The programme is real.
