www.worlwatchweb.com - In 2010, the Swiss racing driver, Fredy Barth, is having his first highly successful season in the World Touring Class Championship (WTCC). He is the perfect example of a man who is able to achieve his dreams and objectives with commitment, discipline and staying power. He shares with Carl F. Bucherer the uncompromising will, to go his own way and realize his dreams. For this reason, Fredy Barth is the new ambassador for the independent watch manufacturer with its head office in Lucerne.
Today the 30-year-old still shows the persistence and will to fight of his earlier days, by not wasting a single minute in the pursuit of his goals. “Live for something, or you will die for nothing”, is Barth’s credo – an affirmation that suits him perfectly. At the age of 18, he contracted lymph node cancer, and his fascination with motorsports served to spur him on his way to recovery.
From then on, things zoomed ahead. Apart from sporting success, for example winning the Winfield World Challenge in 2000, he passed his school-leaving exams, and in 2005 he founded his own company. Today, he is one of the world’s best racing drivers, a much sought-after instructor in driving events or courses and an ever-popular guest at occasions of all sorts. His charitable commitment is unrivalled, and for many years he has committed himself to the objectives of the “Child and Cancer – Swiss Research Foundation”.
