How To Become A Race Car Driver | Full Interview With Tom Kristensen

Let's take a trip to the early 90's when racing was raw and if you didn't prove yourself in your first race, you were cut. One of the few men I have ever had the privelage of asking what those years were truly like was Tom Kristensen; a 9 time winner of Le Mans, winner of Japan Formula Three, Germany Formula Three, and a few other series. In this VERY raw talk, I spend time trying to go back to talk about racecraft, his time in Japan at Fuji Speedway, what it was like racing Nissan Skylines, and how he balances the ability to jump into any type of car to perform on lap 1. We talk about Max Verstappen, Formula1, and how to find the edge of a car on any circuit. Truthfully speaking, it was one of my favorite talks so far that we've done this year and I hope you enjoy it too. If you did, let me know as always because those comments and likes help get more people to see this video :) Thank you #rolex for the opportunity to talk #cars with Tom, I couldn't have asked for a better afternoon during Monterey Car Week.
