Italian term

di corsa

Italian to English Other Advertising / Public Relations
I need a suggestion keeping in mind that in this specific case there is a play on words with "di corsa" meaning "quickly" and "corsa" in the sense of a car race (the text talks about a famous company organising a car race (rally).

as an adverb it gets ugly, though...'racingly'...? maybe there is some other way, like 'in a racing manner'...even worse... ;-) But...with 'racing' you would keep exactly the same play on words!

I just thought of another one: 'full throttle', either on its own, or 'in full throttle' or 'at full throttle'....but I like it best on its own...!
