... be on the sharp end of endurance racing, to dream, to be humbled, only to come back and keep trying?

This is the real story of my Asian Le Mans championship season with Porsche Motorsport drivers in the GT3R this year, condensed into one gritty documentary. Enjoy:

Watch on Youtube:


You'll need half an hour but it's better than Netflix ...

Really well done. Gives that little bit of insight into just how intense competing at that level is.

Great Video! :-) Living the dream...

Rodolphe is such a nice bloke! Sad that he´s no longer here in Germany and back to France.

Congrats on your series and living the dream. Curious how you repaired a bent frame so quickly at Yas Marina.

Awesome! You're definitely living the dream, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to have enough time to dedicate myself fully for something like this in the future.

Excellent documentary, great dedication to the chase!

Thanks all--it's frankly some roller coaster ride, with more humbling moments than I have words for... but I hope more of us will get to experience something like this in time, each on our own terms!!

One of the pros went so ever slightly offline under the hotel, rear snapped, he overcorrected and sent the car into the Techpro barrier, at the same spot as Latifi...

The wing just happened to snag the barrier... and rather than shearing off, the whole wing+upright assembly pushed down on the rear frame where the upright sat... enough to move the engine mounting point.

We had a few superb mechanics in the crew and they fashioned a chassis jig out of two forklifts and one 40' container... aside from a ton of German cuss-words it flowed just like a ballet. Was all hush-hush in the moment, and if the ACO techs came to inspect they could've given us grief... they didn't come, the rear got more stable post-crash, and the rest was history LOL...


Chassis jig yeah.

Really good viewing. Great to see a bit of your journey doing what many of us would love to one day do. Good on you for taking the leap.
