About DC Motorsport Community
Niki Lang
Founder of DC Motorsport Community & Niki Lang Real Estate
What started as Formula 1 watch parties she hosted for clients in 2021 has evolved into a thriving community built around passion, precision, and connection.
A lifelong motorsport fan with family roots in Spain and Germany, naturally her whole family rides and Niki grew up watching MotoGP and Formula 1. She spent every summer at Laguna Seca and got her first motorcycle as soon as she could ride at the age of 16. All driving her to create a community that celebrates the culture and camaraderie of motorsport.
Niki’s career began in hospitality, first as a sommelier and later as a partner in a nationally recognized wine bar, experiences that shaped her belief in the power of meaningful, personal experiences. She carries that same philosophy into her real estate practice, delivering a concierge-style approach for clients who value trust, detail, and elevated service.
Through both DCMC and her real estate work, Niki blends community, lifestyle, and passion, creating spaces and experiences that bring people together on and off the track.
When she’s not hosting events or helping clients, you’ll find her out riding, on the golf course, or throwing ball with her mini Aussie, Vinny.

Vic Jain
Hi, I’m Vic! Originally from Northern Virginia and now based in Washington, D.C., I’m a passionate Formula 1 fan who never misses a race. Lewis Hamilton has been my favorite driver for years, and following his journey on and off the track keeps me hooked. When I’m not tuning into the latest Grand Prix, you’ll probably find me at a Washington Capitals game cheering on the home team. I love the thrill of competition and the stories behind the sport, which is why F1 has become such a big part of my life.

Lead Driver, Festivals
Savannah Lambert
Sav is a longtime fast car-watcher, fashion-lover, and proud fangirl. Sav believes strongly in the power of motorsports as a community, and was grateful to find DCMC’s open arms after moving to the DMV several years ago. She’s always happy to chat about F1 Academy, the intersection of F1 & fashion, or grand prix travel. When she’s not trackside or glued to a race weekend, you can often find her creating social content, running around with a mini mic, and sharing the love for motorsports one post at a time.

Brenna Matthews
Brenna is a motorsports fanatic who appreciates all the details of racing. Prior to a race weekend, you can find her researching the track and its history, the tyres, and strategy options for the weekend. She's happy to share all of this information if you catch her on social media (or at the watch parties)! You can find her at the Navy Yard watch parties cheering on the Williams F1 Team — yes, they have fans.
