- 1
- 00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:59,350
- Motor racing is the ultimate meritocracy.
- 2
- 00:01:00,226 --> 00:01:03,772
- You do well, you get seen more,
- you're at the sharp end of the field.
- 3
- 00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:07,358
- But to do that requires dedication.
- 4
- 00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,071
- All the technology in the world
- will not help you.
- 5
- 00:01:11,154 --> 00:01:14,324
- It's about the human interest
- at the end of it.
- 6
- 00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:21,039
- Endurance sportscar racing
- is populated by manufacturers
- 7
- 00:01:21,122 --> 00:01:23,917
- spending hundreds of millions of euros,
- 8
- 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,044
- dollars or yen to be here.
- 9
- 00:01:28,129 --> 00:01:29,714
- You are looking, quite simply,
- 10
- 00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:33,426
- at the most technologically advanced
- racing cars in the world.
- 11
- 00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:44,020
- These cars go around corners as fast
- or faster than a Formula 1 car.
- 12
- 00:01:44,103 --> 00:01:49,109
- But, ultimately, the piece of humanity
- that you plug into all of that technology
- 13
- 00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,610
- does make the difference,
- 14
- 00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:53,571
- and that's why this is such a great sport.
- 15
- 00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:59,494
- At Le Mans, in terms of competitive hours,
- 16
- 00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:03,039
- there's more competitive driving
- at a higher average speed
- 17
- 00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,333
- than the whole Formula 1 season
- put together.
- 18
- 00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:08,795
- And yet, we still have
- the gentleman driver competing.
- 19
- 00:02:16,302 --> 00:02:19,264
- Ninety-eight Aston Martin,
- what a job they've done.
- 20
- 00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:20,557
- Leading their class,
- 21
- 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,434
- and Paul Dalla Lana,
- not one of the pro drivers,
- 22
- 00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:25,353
- given the honor of bringing it home.
- 23
- 00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:31,109
- We accept that
- the pro drivers are of such a great level
- 24
- 00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:33,611
- that they almost cancel each other out.
- 25
- 00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:37,782
- So the difference between winning
- and losing is your gentleman driver,
- 26
- 00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:39,284
- which I find fascinating.
- 27
- 00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:43,496
- Dalla Lana in the #98 car,
- 28
- 00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:45,290
- leading at Le Mans.
- 29
- 00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:48,293
- This is what people dream about!
- 30
- 00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:54,173
- Great job, buddy. Great job.
- Five more perfect laps, OK? Five more.
- 31
- 00:03:01,222 --> 00:03:02,599
- There's an Aston off.
- 32
- 00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:05,143
- It's the #98!
- That's the class leader, Dalla Lana!
- 33
- 00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:07,395
- Disaster!
- 34
- 00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:12,942
- Tiny mistake, huge consequences,
- 35
- 00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:16,362
- and the whole of the #98 team's hopes
- are smashed.
- 36
- 00:03:17,906 --> 00:03:20,033
- Got to feel for Paul Dalla Lana.
- 37
- 00:03:20,116 --> 00:03:21,951
- A victory within his grasp,
- 38
- 00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:24,370
- and it's all over in the blink of an eye.
- 39
- 00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:30,043
- We had a two-lap lead and I was
- tasked with something pretty simple -
- 40
- 00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:31,336
- bringing the car home.
- 41
- 00:03:31,419 --> 00:03:33,796
- I think mentally I was there.
- 42
- 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,883
- Unfortunately,
- physically I didn't get the job done,
- 43
- 00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:39,594
- and it's a high price to pay.
- 44
- 00:03:39,677 --> 00:03:41,554
- Given how competitive this
- championship is,
- 45
- 00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,348
- we haven't been able to recover.
- 46
- 00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:54,150
- Gentleman drivers are drivers
- that are not professional, that are rich.
- 47
- 00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,194
- They have lots of money.
- 48
- 00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,279
- More money than sense.
- 49
- 00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:01,115
- Mike Conway
- coming up to pass an Aston Martin.
- 50
- 00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,867
- Oh, no! It's gone wrong!
- 51
- 00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:07,455
- While there is good talent in the field,
- there is also questionable talent,
- 52
- 00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:09,958
- questionable moves
- that happened during the race.
- 53
- 00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:12,460
- A little touch
- on the Toyota. Gets through.
- 54
- 00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:13,670
- Doesn't get through!
- 55
- 00:04:15,004 --> 00:04:17,757
- Some of them are better than others
- from what I can see.
- 56
- 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,010
- I've read it does cause a little bit of...
- 57
- 00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,973
- consternation with some of
- the more professional drivers sometimes.
- 58
- 00:04:25,056 --> 00:04:28,351
- The LMP3 car
- clatters into the AF Corse Ferrari
- 59
- 00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:30,019
- and earns a drive-through.
- 60
- 00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:34,440
- A gentleman driver
- is somebody that pays for their drive
- 61
- 00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,192
- rather than somebody paying them.
- 62
- 00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,195
- I wish I was rich enough to be one,
- too, but I'm not.
- 63
- 00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:49,205
- I believe that gentleman drivers
- 64
- 00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:52,583
- are part of the living tradition
- of this whole racing.
- 65
- 00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:56,587
- They're flamboyant.
- They're not quite as programmed.
- 66
- 00:04:56,671 --> 00:04:58,715
- They still do things wrong.
- 67
- 00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:03,177
- The crowd loves people who screw up
- and spin the cars, just occasionally.
- 68
- 00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:06,597
- Thank God we have
- a few gentleman drivers to do that for us.
- 69
- 00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:15,565
- Gentleman drivers, for many years,
- 70
- 00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:17,525
- the lifeblood of motorsport.
- 71
- 00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:19,444
- As Henry Ford would tell you,
- 72
- 00:05:19,527 --> 00:05:22,238
- the first motor race
- was when the second car was built.
- 73
- 00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:26,409
- And quite often the guys
- who could afford cars were quite wealthy,
- 74
- 00:05:26,492 --> 00:05:30,371
- so the original racing drivers,
- ultimately, were all gentleman drivers.
- 75
- 00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:32,332
- There were no pros in those days.
- 76
- 00:05:33,082 --> 00:05:34,876
- That's kind of disappeared now,
- 77
- 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,879
- so the last great bastion
- of gentleman drivers
- 78
- 00:05:37,962 --> 00:05:39,756
- is in sportscar racing,
- 79
- 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,383
- right up to and including
- World Championship level.
- 80
- 00:05:42,925 --> 00:05:46,888
- They are a big part of the sport
- because they bring money into the sport,
- 81
- 00:05:46,971 --> 00:05:50,767
- but secondly,
- they also represent all of us, the fans.
- 82
- 00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:54,771
- Because if you have the wherewithal,
- you could buy a baseball team,
- 83
- 00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:56,355
- you could buy an NFL franchise,
- 84
- 00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,649
- but can you go out
- and quarterback it on a Sunday?
- 85
- 00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,069
- Of course you can't.
- It would be ridiculous.
- 86
- 00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:04,197
- Well, in this form of motor racing,
- you can do exactly that.
- 87
- 00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,033
- If you dedicate yourself
- to get to a decent level,
- 88
- 00:06:07,116 --> 00:06:09,952
- you can race with the giants of the sport.
- 89
- 00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:14,916
- Now, as the cars have become
- more sophisticated, quicker,
- 90
- 00:06:15,374 --> 00:06:18,961
- the role of the gentleman driver
- has become more difficult.
- 91
- 00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:23,174
- Rich businessmen just doing it for fun
- at the weekends, it's hard to do that now.
- 92
- 00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:24,634
- In fact, it may be impossible.
- 93
- 00:06:24,717 --> 00:06:28,846
- And if you look down the years at people
- like Steve McQueen and Paul Newman,
- 94
- 00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:33,017
- they took time out from their acting jobs
- to come and race.
- 95
- 00:06:33,601 --> 00:06:36,229
- Patrick Dempsey now is a full-time driver
- 96
- 00:06:36,312 --> 00:06:38,523
- and works once in a while as an actor.
- 97
- 00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:40,441
- He's had to make that change
- 98
- 00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:44,320
- to make his performance level appropriate
- to the World Championship.
- 99
- 00:06:46,781 --> 00:06:48,908
- Definitely racing is an addiction.
- 100
- 00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:50,493
- You are taking risks,
- 101
- 00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:54,372
- you're working off hours,
- you're travelling.
- 102
- 00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:56,040
- It's not easy. It's not easy.
- 103
- 00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:59,836
- So if you want to be there
- and you want to be good at it,
- 104
- 00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:01,754
- it has to be passion.
- 105
- 00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:04,590
- I hate the term "gentleman driver."
- 106
- 00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,219
- We're all drivers
- and we're all passionate about it.
- 107
- 00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:10,888
- Some guys just started
- when they were six years old,
- 108
- 00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:13,099
- and some of us picked it up later in life,
- 109
- 00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:17,937
- but I've always wanted to be the best
- at whatever I've tried to do.
- 110
- 00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,356
- If you're not trying to win
- every time you're out there,
- 111
- 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,443
- then you probably need
- to go find something else to do.
- 112
- 00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:28,197
- As an entrepreneur,
- and certainly now in the racing world,
- 113
- 00:07:28,906 --> 00:07:32,660
- you know, it's a pretty demanding
- audience of one, frankly.
- 114
- 00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:35,705
- You have to look in the mirror
- at the end of the day
- 115
- 00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,082
- and say, "Did I get it done or not?"
- 116
- 00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:41,294
- That's what motivates me,
- and I wouldn't have it any other way.
- 117
- 00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,757
- Racing is what gets me up
- in the morning.
- 118
- 00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,427
- I think I'm motivated and I push hard,
- 119
- 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,846
- but when I hear
- other people speak about me,
- 120
- 00:07:51,929 --> 00:07:55,308
- they seem to think I push
- to the point of just insanity.
- 121
- 00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,310
- But I just think it's normal.
- 122
- 00:07:57,393 --> 00:07:59,687
- For me, it's just what you have to do.
- 123
- 00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:05,860
- I think to be successful
- in anything, sport or business,
- 124
- 00:08:05,943 --> 00:08:09,238
- there has to be a part of your brain
- that says, "I can do this better."
- 125
- 00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:12,492
- "Better than him, her, them.
- 126
- 00:08:12,575 --> 00:08:14,577
- Better than I just did it."
- 127
- 00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,537
- And the quest for perfection
- 128
- 00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:20,666
- is something that motor racing
- is pretty much all about.
- 129
- 00:08:22,877 --> 00:08:26,005
- We were here two years ago,
- and we did very, very well.
- 130
- 00:08:26,088 --> 00:08:28,841
- We have all this data from two years ago,
- 131
- 00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:31,344
- and then my data from this last Friday.
- 132
- 00:08:31,427 --> 00:08:33,554
- So what you do is you overlay it.
- 133
- 00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:35,473
- My steering traces,
- 134
- 00:08:35,556 --> 00:08:38,142
- my brake pressures and my throttle,
- 135
- 00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:40,937
- turn one, all the way through turn 20.
- 136
- 00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,147
- This data is absolutely imperative.
- 137
- 00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:46,692
- You're talking a tenth of a second here,
- a tenth of a second there.
- 138
- 00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:48,861
- Twenty laps, or 20 corners,
- 139
- 00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,572
- one tenth of a second
- is two seconds, right?
- 140
- 00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:55,076
- It's all data-driven - everything.
- Business is and this is.
- 141
- 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,412
- I got my profit-and-loss statements in
- via email last night,
- 142
- 00:08:58,496 --> 00:08:59,997
- so I'm forecasting taxes.
- 143
- 00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:01,499
- That's what I was doing in my room.
- 144
- 00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:04,585
- I thought I was taking time off,
- but I really was doing analysis
- 145
- 00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:05,878
- on my accounting.
- 146
- 00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:07,296
- Now, as of this morning,
- 147
- 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,299
- I turned that all off,
- and now I'm on data here.
- 148
- 00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,426
- So my life goes from one to the next.
- 149
- 00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,804
- It just never stops. Never stops.
- 150
- 00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,694
- You've got to understand
- that gentleman drivers
- 151
- 00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:31,779
- are an integral part of the sport.
- 152
- 00:09:31,862 --> 00:09:34,282
- Without the injection of finance
- that they bring,
- 153
- 00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:37,326
- some of the teams simply
- wouldn't be able to exist and go racing.
- 154
- 00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,078
- And so it's being recognized,
- 155
- 00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:40,746
- because there is a class,
- 156
- 00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:44,458
- both in GT and in the prototype classes,
- 157
- 00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:46,919
- where you must have -
- you are mandated to have -
- 158
- 00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:48,921
- a non-professional driver in the car.
- 159
- 00:09:49,005 --> 00:09:51,132
- I think that gives something to the sport.
- 160
- 00:09:51,215 --> 00:09:54,385
- It doesn't take something away, it adds.
- 161
- 00:09:54,468 --> 00:09:56,971
- And I think that's what brings in
- some of the fans,
- 162
- 00:09:57,054 --> 00:10:00,433
- because they look at that and think,
- "If only I had the money,
- 163
- 00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:02,727
- I would be doing exactly the same thing."
- 164
- 00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:19,910
- None of these corners
- are really late apexes, Ricky.
- 165
- 00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,329
- What's your braking point?
- 166
- 00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:23,080
- It's seventy five.
- 167
- 00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:25,207
- It's deep.
- 168
- 00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:28,085
- You kind of brake-release,
- carrying speed into the apex,
- 169
- 00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:29,587
- looking for the apex.
- 170
- 00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:33,466
- This extra speed at the rear
- will help you turn the car.
- 171
- 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,346
- It's a ritual to do a track walk
- before each event.
- 172
- 00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:41,974
- To take the gentleman driver
- to a track walk is really important,
- 173
- 00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:44,977
- because we, as pro drivers,
- 174
- 00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:48,397
- help explain to them
- how to take each corner.
- 175
- 00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:51,067
- You know,
- they look at corners like racing drivers,
- 176
- 00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,611
- but sometimes they also look at corners
- as businessmen.
- 177
- 00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:57,990
- He's actually showing me
- on the computer where to brake.
- 178
- 00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,368
- I don't know if he's right or not.
- We'll see tomorrow.
- 179
- 00:11:17,885 --> 00:11:20,513
- Ultimately, the car
- and the stopwatch doesn't know
- 180
- 00:11:20,596 --> 00:11:24,850
- whether it's a gentleman driver
- in that car or someone who's a superstar.
- 181
- 00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:27,019
- Once the helmet's on,
- it makes no difference.
- 182
- 00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:29,772
- And so part of the pro driver's job
- 183
- 00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:33,401
- when they are teamed up
- with someone who is a non-pro driver
- 184
- 00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:35,069
- is to give them help, advice,
- 185
- 00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:37,363
- and to make them quicker
- and more consistent.
- 186
- 00:11:37,446 --> 00:11:39,782
- As a race-car driver
- sent off down the pit lane,
- 187
- 00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:42,701
- you might have 20 seconds
- to get yourself sorted out,
- 188
- 00:11:42,785 --> 00:11:45,121
- then off with the pit-lane speed limiter
- 189
- 00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:47,998
- and everything's going to happen
- at 100% straight away,
- 190
- 00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:51,544
- because if it's not,
- you're losing time to your competitors.
- 191
- 00:11:51,627 --> 00:11:54,213
- Now, the pro drivers do that
- as a matter of course.
- 192
- 00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:57,133
- The best amateur drivers build up to that.
- 193
- 00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:01,220
- In WEC, we're racing with top teams,
- 194
- 00:12:01,303 --> 00:12:03,556
- so there's a lot to be learned,
- 195
- 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,645
- and I think it would be an error
- not to be like a sponge.
- 196
- 00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:11,021
- It's a team,
- 197
- 00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:13,399
- and at the end, if one wins, we all win.
- 198
- 00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:16,318
- I don't remember this being so downhill.
- 199
- 00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:18,988
- You don't feel it in the car.
- 200
- 00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:20,573
- Downhill is great for you,
- 201
- 00:12:20,656 --> 00:12:23,075
- because the more weight,
- the faster you go.
- 202
- 00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:26,036
- The first time I'll be faster than you.
- 203
- 00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:31,917
- Human beings are a competitive species -
- 204
- 00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,170
- we cooperate in teams,
- 205
- 00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:37,756
- but we have always competed
- against the other.
- 206
- 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,841
- Now,
- 207
- 00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,553
- an entrepreneur
- is in a very competitive environment,
- 208
- 00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:44,472
- because in order to succeed,
- 209
- 00:12:44,555 --> 00:12:47,725
- they actually have to allow their company
- 210
- 00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:49,977
- to do better than everybody else.
- 211
- 00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:53,355
- And I think
- when you've had success at that,
- 212
- 00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,566
- when you've had success at competition,
- 213
- 00:12:55,649 --> 00:13:00,237
- then you actually like to bring that out
- in other facets of your life.
- 214
- 00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:03,991
- When you extend yourself in a new area,
- 215
- 00:13:04,074 --> 00:13:06,785
- it actually feeds back
- on what you do professionally,
- 216
- 00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:08,037
- because you realize,
- 217
- 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,332
- "Hey, I was able to acquire
- this new skill,
- 218
- 00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:16,504
- so why can't I solve some big problem
- that I'm facing in the workplace?
- 219
- 00:13:16,587 --> 00:13:20,007
- I know I can do it, because
- I'm able to do it in these other areas."
- 220
- 00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:27,556
- I think what joins racing
- and business for me is...
- 221
- 00:13:28,557 --> 00:13:31,435
- being able to take that pressure,
- 222
- 00:13:32,102 --> 00:13:33,687
- and then perform the same.
- 223
- 00:13:35,022 --> 00:13:38,317
- I started racing go-karts
- when I was ten years old,
- 224
- 00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:40,236
- and got hooked,
- 225
- 00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,321
- and then started the whole ladder.
- 226
- 00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:47,117
- I raced up until 2001.
- 227
- 00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:50,287
- That's when life said, "No more."
- 228
- 00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:54,291
- No more sponsorship,
- there's no more support.
- 229
- 00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:56,377
- I had two kids already,
- 230
- 00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:59,296
- so I had to focus back on work.
- 231
- 00:13:59,713 --> 00:14:02,883
- And I decided to start from scratch,
- 232
- 00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:04,426
- with support from nobody.
- 233
- 00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:06,387
- It definitely was not easy,
- 234
- 00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,098
- but I was sure I could do it.
- 235
- 00:14:10,891 --> 00:14:12,601
- In order to not suffer,
- 236
- 00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:16,855
- at that point
- I didn't even watch racing on TV.
- 237
- 00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,816
- Seven years later,
- 238
- 00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:20,860
- an opportunity to race came back,
- 239
- 00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:23,612
- and my business partner sponsored me.
- 240
- 00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:26,490
- Now I was going back to racing
- just to have fun.
- 241
- 00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:30,244
- And it was after the first or second race
- 242
- 00:14:30,327 --> 00:14:32,705
- that I realized
- I cannot do it just to have fun.
- 243
- 00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:34,039
- I have to be competitive.
- 244
- 00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:38,377
- I like to think where I want to be,
- 245
- 00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:41,005
- what I want to accomplish,
- 246
- 00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,966
- and then understand how I get there.
- 247
- 00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:48,220
- And sometimes I just drop a lot of ideas.
- 248
- 00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:51,974
- So, right now I'm working on bringing
- 249
- 00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:55,978
- the first US university campus to Mexico.
- 250
- 00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:01,317
- It is a branch of Arkansas State.
- 251
- 00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:05,404
- A full-blown campus, which includes dorms,
- 252
- 00:15:05,487 --> 00:15:08,073
- all the fitness and sports areas,
- 253
- 00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:10,159
- and also the classrooms.
- 254
- 00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:14,747
- The first time I saw the project,
- I was hooked.
- 255
- 00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:18,000
- I think if you want to really help
- 256
- 00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:21,378
- and leave something behind for Mexico,
- 257
- 00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:25,215
- and revolutionize education in Mexico -
- 258
- 00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,968
- which is what Mexico needs right now -
- 259
- 00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:31,096
- for me,
- this was the opportunity to do that.
- 260
- 00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:41,815
- This is the student union.
- We are here.
- 261
- 00:15:41,899 --> 00:15:44,610
- And in here we have the cafeteria.
- 262
- 00:15:45,486 --> 00:15:49,323
- All this will be a huge new city.
- 263
- 00:15:49,406 --> 00:15:53,619
- You become the bridge, basically -
- the academic to the corporate side.
- 264
- 00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:57,039
- Ricardo, this is phenomenal.
- I mean, it's unbelievable.
- 265
- 00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:59,083
- We talked about this maybe 60 days ago.
- 266
- 00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:03,295
- The progress you've made in 60 days,
- incredible. It's incredible.
- 267
- 00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,673
- - Every week it changes.
- - That's right.
- 268
- 00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:09,009
- Some days he's in China,
- 269
- 00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:11,261
- and when he finishes racing he texts,
- 270
- 00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:13,013
- "How is everything over there?"
- 271
- 00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:14,848
- I think he doesn't sleeps.
- 272
- 00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:30,614
- There are a lot of connections
- between racing and business.
- 273
- 00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:33,909
- When I was 17, I moved up to Formula 3.
- 274
- 00:16:34,576 --> 00:16:36,662
- There's a whole team behind you,
- 275
- 00:16:36,745 --> 00:16:39,248
- there's people working for you,
- there's a contract.
- 276
- 00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:41,625
- Being under that pressure at that age,
- 277
- 00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:44,753
- it definitely starts to prepare you.
- 278
- 00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:48,090
- By the time
- I sat for the first time at a desk
- 279
- 00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:51,468
- to do a contract for my company,
- 280
- 00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:55,139
- I had a lot of experience
- in dealing with a negotiation.
- 281
- 00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:58,976
- I don't know if I was better, but at least
- it made me feel more comfortable.
- 282
- 00:17:01,937 --> 00:17:04,815
- I've been working
- with Ricardo Gonzalez for six years now.
- 283
- 00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:06,692
- I'm his driver manager,
- 284
- 00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:10,904
- so I manage his racing life while
- he's worrying about his business life.
- 285
- 00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:14,074
- The racing world, it's a small circle.
- 286
- 00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,160
- Basically, everybody knows each other.
- 287
- 00:17:16,243 --> 00:17:19,079
- One big circus
- that travels around the world together.
- 288
- 00:17:19,663 --> 00:17:21,165
- Being around the racing business
- 289
- 00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:24,293
- has given me the opportunity
- to meet guys like Ed Brown,
- 290
- 00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:25,627
- Paul Dalla Lana,
- 291
- 00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:26,920
- Mike Guasch.
- 292
- 00:17:27,004 --> 00:17:30,174
- Even though we're different teams
- and competing against each other,
- 293
- 00:17:30,257 --> 00:17:34,011
- one year you'll be with one team,
- another year you'll be with another team,
- 294
- 00:17:34,094 --> 00:17:38,015
- so you become friends with the people
- you were racing against the year before.
- 295
- 00:17:38,098 --> 00:17:40,601
- It's long-term relationships, for sure.
- 296
- 00:17:42,686 --> 00:17:45,355
- For me,
- the thing that racing has provided,
- 297
- 00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:46,815
- which is a weird thing,
- 298
- 00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:50,152
- is... sort of an escape, almost, right?
- 299
- 00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,237
- It's provided a mental shift.
- 300
- 00:17:52,321 --> 00:17:56,116
- So, it's taken me a number of years
- to be able to go there
- 301
- 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,410
- and just completely forget
- everything else.
- 302
- 00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:01,038
- I don't know when you started
- if you felt that?
- 303
- 00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:03,749
- You would come to the track,
- doing your business, in the middle of...
- 304
- 00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:05,751
- That's what I loved about it, though,
- 305
- 00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:08,170
- because if I wanted to play golf,
- or did whatever,
- 306
- 00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:11,131
- somebody could email me,
- text me, or call me.
- 307
- 00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:14,593
- In the race car they can't do that,
- so it was the biggest release I ever had.
- 308
- 00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:18,472
- People don't understand. I'm more relaxed
- in the race car than when I'm not.
- 309
- 00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:23,227
- For me, also, I will leave my cell phone
- for three or four hours.
- 310
- 00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:26,063
- Going to races, it's a shift,
- 311
- 00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,107
- completely, everything.
- 312
- 00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:30,901
- What's been good for me
- in racing in Europe
- 313
- 00:18:30,984 --> 00:18:33,070
- is that the time...
- 314
- 00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:34,863
- We're so far ahead.
- 315
- 00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:37,991
- Basically, when the day's over,
- the day starts in California.
- 316
- 00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:41,036
- So I don't have to watch my phone all day.
- 317
- 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,372
- No one's emailing me
- because no one's awake.
- 318
- 00:18:43,747 --> 00:18:48,710
- So... when I'm over there,
- during the day, it's really relaxing.
- 319
- 00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:51,421
- If I can control the evenings, I'll be OK.
- 320
- 00:19:04,601 --> 00:19:07,563
- The Lone Star Le Mans at
- the Circuit of the Americas this weekend
- 321
- 00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:10,399
- is the start of the second half
- of the season.
- 322
- 00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,651
- It's the time of the season
- 323
- 00:19:12,734 --> 00:19:15,737
- where the championship run
- starts to come together.
- 324
- 00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:18,574
- Get the results, rack up the points,
- 325
- 00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:21,118
- and hopefully,
- by the time we get to Bahrain,
- 326
- 00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:24,288
- then you're in a pretty good state
- to challenge for the championship.
- 327
- 00:19:28,792 --> 00:19:30,878
- There's a lot going on here
- this weekend.
- 328
- 00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:32,838
- Ricardo tries to focus on the racing,
- 329
- 00:19:32,921 --> 00:19:35,924
- but a secret project
- that Ricardo and I have been working on
- 330
- 00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:40,470
- is to bring a WEC event to Mexico,
- which would be huge.
- 331
- 00:19:40,554 --> 00:19:44,850
- Mexico's a huge market for racing
- and for all the manufacturers involved.
- 332
- 00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:49,688
- We're literally here in very last-minute
- negotiations with WEC
- 333
- 00:19:49,771 --> 00:19:52,941
- and with promoters in Mexico
- to make that happen.
- 334
- 00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:55,485
- We're going to have
- another meeting right now.
- 335
- 00:19:55,569 --> 00:19:58,071
- And that's the life of a gentleman driver.
- 336
- 00:19:58,155 --> 00:20:01,950
- There's a lot that happens at a racetrack
- that has nothing to do with racing.
- 337
- 00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,744
- It's all business, and vice versa.
- 338
- 00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:11,001
- As we wait for the red lights to go out
- 339
- 00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:14,046
- and the clock to start counting down
- from six hours,
- 340
- 00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:16,715
- we're racing
- at the Circuit of the Americas.
- 341
- 00:20:16,798 --> 00:20:21,053
- The pole-sitting car of Neel Jani
- gets the inside line.
- 342
- 00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:24,431
- Each of the classes battling
- for their own podium,
- 343
- 00:20:24,514 --> 00:20:27,684
- and in LMP2,
- keep your eyes on this battle.
- 344
- 00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:30,979
- The pair of orange and grey G-Drive cars
- are being hunted down from behind
- 345
- 00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,565
- by the black and green Tequila Patrón ESM.
- 346
- 00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:37,110
- This is going to be
- a battle royale in LMP2.
- 347
- 00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:39,780
- It's not just about the glamour boys
- in the Hybrids.
- 348
- 00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:41,615
- This matters as well!
- 349
- 00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:48,664
- I'm pretty good.
- I don't get in for another hour or so.
- 350
- 00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:50,624
- I stay calm until I get my helmet on,
- 351
- 00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:53,543
- and then I'll probably get,
- you know, a little anxious.
- 352
- 00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:56,546
- Johannes van Overbeek
- 353
- 00:20:56,630 --> 00:21:00,884
- in the #31 ESM Patrón LMP2.
- 354
- 00:21:00,968 --> 00:21:03,679
- It's not been
- the smoothest of races for them.
- 355
- 00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:06,056
- They've had
- one or two mechanical problems.
- 356
- 00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:15,565
- Into the pit lane
- for Johannes van Overbeek.
- 357
- 00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:18,277
- That's on schedule for the #31.
- 358
- 00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:22,239
- It will be fuel, tires, and a new driver.
- 359
- 00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:24,950
- Ed Brown will take it into the race.
- 360
- 00:21:25,742 --> 00:21:28,203
- Now, remember, every driver on the team
- 361
- 00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,415
- has to be in the car
- for at least an hour and 15 minutes.
- 362
- 00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:39,047
- I had no confidence in the car
- at the beginning.
- 363
- 00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:40,882
- Tell Ed if he starts complaining...
- 364
- 00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:43,844
- It felt like the suspension
- fell out of the car sometimes.
- 365
- 00:21:45,178 --> 00:21:47,556
- - From the fender, came down.
- - Oh, no kidding?
- 366
- 00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,641
- - Yeah, huge.
- - Yeah.
- 367
- 00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:52,019
- -So tell Ed he's got to drive through it.
- -Drive through it.
- 368
- 00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:55,480
- Multiclass racing at its best.
- 369
- 00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:58,608
- GT car on the right.
- We're on board with an LMP2 car.
- 370
- 00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:01,695
- And what's to the left?
- There's a LMP1 Hybrid. Marvelous!
- 371
- 00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,700
- A huge off at the final corner!
- 372
- 00:22:07,784 --> 00:22:09,411
- That was one of the Patrón cars.
- 373
- 00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:11,413
- It's the #31! It's Ed Brown!
- 374
- 00:22:11,955 --> 00:22:12,998
- Massive hit!
- 375
- 00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:16,209
- Looked like a good hit.
- 376
- 00:22:17,377 --> 00:22:19,212
- - Yeah.
- - They're showing it again.
- 377
- 00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,340
- Shit. He doesn't have any brakes?
- 378
- 00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:22,632
- Oh, my God.
- 379
- 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,135
- Good thing he didn't roll.
- 380
- 00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:28,680
- Ed went off in the last corner,
- but we don't know why.
- 381
- 00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:30,390
- He said no brakes.
- 382
- 00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:33,060
- That's what it looked like on the video,
- so we'll see.
- 383
- 00:22:38,482 --> 00:22:41,068
- I actually was moving good through 19.
- 384
- 00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:42,444
- You got some serious air.
- 385
- 00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,489
- I mean, that went way up.
- 386
- 00:22:45,572 --> 00:22:46,948
- I never saw.
- 387
- 00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:50,368
- The other problem was when I hit,
- 388
- 00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:52,746
- the steering wheel flew off
- and hit me in the chest.
- 389
- 00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:54,748
- -The steering wheel?
- -It came off.
- 390
- 00:22:54,831 --> 00:22:55,832
- Holy shit.
- 391
- 00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:59,878
- We're going to take it down
- there and look at it.
- 392
- 00:22:59,961 --> 00:23:01,296
- - Sure you're OK?
- - Yeah.
- 393
- 00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:06,927
- Halfway through the race.
- 394
- 00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:08,887
- The sun is going down in Texas,
- 395
- 00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:10,430
- but the racing is heating up.
- 396
- 00:23:11,389 --> 00:23:14,434
- So, it's halfway through the race.
- About three hours left.
- 397
- 00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:18,396
- Ricardo just finished his stint,
- so he's done for the day.
- 398
- 00:23:19,106 --> 00:23:21,399
- Ricardo was in fourth place
- when he came in.
- 399
- 00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:24,277
- Right now I think we're in sixth place,
- but it's hard to tell
- 400
- 00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:26,196
- because people have to pit still.
- 401
- 00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,366
- In 30 minutes,
- we'll know exactly where we are.
- 402
- 00:23:29,449 --> 00:23:34,037
- I'm not sure what happened to Ed.
- The way he crashed was pretty extreme.
- 403
- 00:23:34,704 --> 00:23:39,668
- Usually, when you see that, it means
- there's some kind of mechanical problem.
- 404
- 00:23:40,043 --> 00:23:42,337
- So, you know, it sucks for them.
- 405
- 00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:46,174
- But their other car's running pretty good,
- so at least Patrón will be happy.
- 406
- 00:23:48,385 --> 00:23:51,346
- You know,
- racing's a miserable sport sometimes.
- 407
- 00:23:51,721 --> 00:23:54,641
- But I've crashed before
- where it's my fault and you feel worse.
- 408
- 00:23:54,724 --> 00:23:57,727
- When it's a mechanical failure like that,
- 409
- 00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,312
- you know, it's part of racing,
- 410
- 00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:03,233
- and you just hope
- that we can find the issue that happened,
- 411
- 00:24:03,316 --> 00:24:05,694
- and hopefully never let it happen again.
- 412
- 00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:08,530
- No scratches, no bumps, so all's good.
- 413
- 00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,075
- I'm drinking Patrón and relaxing,
- taking a little of the bruising away.
- 414
- 00:24:16,329 --> 00:24:18,999
- Almost at the end
- of the 6 Hours of the Americas,
- 415
- 00:24:19,082 --> 00:24:21,251
- but still battling going on
- in the darkness.
- 416
- 00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:22,878
- G-Drive goes around the outside.
- 417
- 00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:25,046
- That's a pass for position in LMP2!
- 418
- 00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,465
- What drama in the closing minutes!
- 419
- 00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:31,469
- Careful through traffic.
- 420
- 00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:34,639
- Porsche being lapped. Almost a touch!
- My goodness, that was close!
- 421
- 00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:39,102
- At the end of the 6 Hours of the Americas,
- 422
- 00:24:39,186 --> 00:24:40,812
- LMP2 goes to G-Drive.
- 423
- 00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:43,523
- KCMG #47 is in second.
- 424
- 00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:46,568
- And then the second of the G-Drive cars
- onto the podium
- 425
- 00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:50,488
- for Gustavo Yacamán,
- Pipo Derani and Ricardo Gonzalez.
- 426
- 00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,617
- At the end, very good for the team.
- 427
- 00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:56,453
- We have been struggling lately.
- 428
- 00:24:56,536 --> 00:25:00,207
- For us to be one and three,
- I think it's very good news for the team.
- 429
- 00:25:05,128 --> 00:25:06,463
- Winning is important to me,
- 430
- 00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:08,840
- and definitely that's why I'm here -
- I like to win.
- 431
- 00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,801
- So you take that back to the office.
- 432
- 00:25:12,385 --> 00:25:16,514
- And it's not that you're going
- to go and get that podium
- 433
- 00:25:16,598 --> 00:25:19,100
- or that trophy at the end of the day,
- 434
- 00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:24,022
- but you get a longer version of it, so...
- 435
- 00:25:24,731 --> 00:25:27,067
- Anything you do in the business world,
- 436
- 00:25:27,150 --> 00:25:29,277
- and how you develop yourself,
- 437
- 00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:31,988
- will stay with you
- for the rest of your life.
- 438
- 00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:40,330
- Holy shit!
- 439
- 00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:41,706
- Oh, my God!
- 440
- 00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:48,588
- I think every human being would hope
- that they never have failure in life.
- 441
- 00:25:48,672 --> 00:25:52,842
- I always tell my employees, "In really
- good times you learn absolutely nothing.
- 442
- 00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:55,387
- It all went right,
- so what did you have to learn?"
- 443
- 00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:58,431
- It's in the hard times when you fail
- that you learn the most.
- 444
- 00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:03,478
- Whether it's failure to run a lap time
- that I wanted to run
- 445
- 00:26:03,561 --> 00:26:06,481
- or a brand that didn't do as well
- as I thought it would, I learn,
- 446
- 00:26:06,564 --> 00:26:09,609
- and I learn every single day
- at everything that I do.
- 447
- 00:26:09,693 --> 00:26:13,113
- So that's important.
- Without failure, you can't have success.
- 448
- 00:26:16,449 --> 00:26:20,537
- We are trained to minimize
- the number of mistakes we make in life.
- 449
- 00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,831
- And that may help you
- to succeed in school,
- 450
- 00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,625
- but it doesn't really help you
- to succeed in life,
- 451
- 00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:29,004
- because success in life
- isn't about never making mistakes,
- 452
- 00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:31,756
- it's about recovering from
- the mistakes that you make.
- 453
- 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,636
- People who succeed over and over again
- in different areas aren't just lucky.
- 454
- 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,930
- They're good at making mistakes,
- 455
- 00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:40,181
- sometimes even failing,
- 456
- 00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,143
- and then learning from those failures
- 457
- 00:26:43,226 --> 00:26:45,729
- and using that knowledge
- to help them move forward.
- 458
- 00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,526
- Do you think trial eight
- in a higher proof,
- 459
- 00:26:51,609 --> 00:26:53,570
- with more bite and nose might...?
- 460
- 00:26:53,653 --> 00:26:56,114
- I haven't done eight.
- I'm going to eight now.
- 461
- 00:26:56,197 --> 00:26:58,325
- It doesn't have much of a smoke at all.
- 462
- 00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:00,493
- Not much smoke on the nose, no.
- 463
- 00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:03,038
- That's always the question
- we've had internally -
- 464
- 00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:05,623
- how much smoke
- we're going to put in there.
- 465
- 00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:08,918
- I think the taste, for me,
- it's a little soft.
- 466
- 00:27:09,002 --> 00:27:10,128
- Yeah, it's soft.
- 467
- 00:27:10,211 --> 00:27:15,008
- I just don't know if it's a big enough
- difference to go ask for $30
- 468
- 00:27:15,091 --> 00:27:16,968
- or $20 a bottle more.
- 469
- 00:27:17,552 --> 00:27:20,138
- - What's the proof on that?
- - That's 80 proof, right?
- 470
- 00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:21,973
- - Yes.
- - Forty percent, right?
- 471
- 00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:24,225
- - Yes.
- - I think a little hotter.
- 472
- 00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:27,354
- An 85 would be... a full brand.
- 473
- 00:27:27,437 --> 00:27:29,272
- Let's taste a range of... Let's...
- 474
- 00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:32,984
- A percentage of 40-45. Fifty...
- 475
- 00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:35,945
- Forty, 41, 42, 43, 44...
- 476
- 00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:39,157
- Hey, I like 50s,
- but I don't want to go back to the days
- 477
- 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,701
- when kids were falling off of barstools.
- 478
- 00:27:44,704 --> 00:27:46,623
- I'm passionate, and I'm...
- 479
- 00:27:47,123 --> 00:27:48,708
- uber competitive, you know.
- 480
- 00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:51,711
- And I think that's kind of
- what's always driven me.
- 481
- 00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:54,631
- My father was in
- the beverage-alcohol business.
- 482
- 00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:58,134
- I was trying to play golf
- for a living, actually.
- 483
- 00:27:58,218 --> 00:28:01,096
- I called him and said,
- "I guess I need to get a real job."
- 484
- 00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:04,015
- I'm thinking
- he'll give me a nice, cushy route
- 485
- 00:28:04,099 --> 00:28:05,683
- and it will have good accounts.
- 486
- 00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:08,853
- My dad gave me the worst territory
- known to man in Colorado,
- 487
- 00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:12,524
- and I was making, I think, $15,000 a year.
- 488
- 00:28:12,607 --> 00:28:14,484
- I'm like, "Dad, I can't survive on this."
- 489
- 00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:18,238
- So... after about six months
- I was working for him,
- 490
- 00:28:18,321 --> 00:28:22,826
- a company called Seagram's came knocking
- and said, "Hey, you want to work for us?"
- 491
- 00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:26,371
- They're going to pay me $22,500.
- "That's a deal. I'm out of here."
- 492
- 00:28:26,454 --> 00:28:29,332
- And they gave me a van,
- so I didn't have to have a car.
- 493
- 00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:31,626
- So I went to work for Seagram's.
- 494
- 00:28:31,709 --> 00:28:35,171
- I felt like if I wasn't getting promoted
- every year, something was wrong,
- 495
- 00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:36,381
- and I was aggressive,
- 496
- 00:28:36,464 --> 00:28:40,135
- and I moved 13 times
- in a ten-year career with them.
- 497
- 00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:42,429
- So all that set me up
- 498
- 00:28:42,512 --> 00:28:46,349
- to really do what I thought
- I was going to be really good at,
- 499
- 00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:49,227
- and that's not really
- having to work for somebody,
- 500
- 00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:55,567
- and, you know, using all that I hope I've
- learned over the years to build something.
- 501
- 00:28:56,317 --> 00:28:59,988
- So, John Paul DeJoria
- and Martin Crowley came to me
- 502
- 00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:02,449
- and asked me if I wanted
- to work for Patrón.
- 503
- 00:29:02,532 --> 00:29:05,744
- They basically made me a deal
- I couldn't refuse.
- 504
- 00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:08,413
- And... in the early days of Patrón,
- 505
- 00:29:08,496 --> 00:29:10,874
- we were selling maybe 5,000 cases,
- 506
- 00:29:10,957 --> 00:29:13,626
- and it was just
- this little boutique-ish brand,
- 507
- 00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:16,045
- and we didn't produce our own tequila.
- 508
- 00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:18,381
- We were a third-party manufacturer,
- 509
- 00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:21,885
- and I knew that was not the thing
- that we needed to do,
- 510
- 00:29:21,968 --> 00:29:23,887
- so that's when I built this Hacienda.
- 511
- 00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:26,639
- And that really started to be
- the game-changer,
- 512
- 00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:29,434
- because then I could have total control
- 513
- 00:29:29,517 --> 00:29:31,811
- of what we were doing from a manufacturing
- 514
- 00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:33,772
- and a marketing side.
- 515
- 00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:38,359
- I had been in the business a long time
- and felt it couldn't just be bottling,
- 516
- 00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:40,153
- distillation, and stuff like that.
- 517
- 00:29:40,236 --> 00:29:43,156
- I really wanted to make
- a monument to the brand.
- 518
- 00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:02,509
- In the beverage-alcohol business,
- it's very difficult to advertise
- 519
- 00:30:02,592 --> 00:30:06,221
- because there's regulations about
- television and things that we can do.
- 520
- 00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:07,639
- But I had this idea,
- 521
- 00:30:07,722 --> 00:30:10,725
- "If I can have a car going around a track
- with Patrón all over it,
- 522
- 00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:12,519
- I'm going to get it on television."
- 523
- 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,481
- I've tried to build the same culture
- on the race team that I have at Patrón.
- 524
- 00:30:16,564 --> 00:30:19,692
- So, Scott Sharp and I became close
- and I started sponsoring him,
- 525
- 00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:21,945
- and he kept saying,
- "You need to get in a race car."
- 526
- 00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:23,238
- I said, "I don't have time."
- 527
- 00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:25,949
- A couple of years later he goes,
- "I bought you that car."
- 528
- 00:30:26,032 --> 00:30:29,077
- It was a Mazda MX-5 in black and green,
- with Patrón on it.
- 529
- 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,330
- I'm like, "That's cool, dude. Thanks.
- But what will I do with it?"
- 530
- 00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:33,665
- He said, "This is the best part.
- 531
- 00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,626
- For the next four days, we're going
- to teach you how to drive it."
- 532
- 00:30:38,127 --> 00:30:39,629
- I raced those things for four weeks.
- 533
- 00:30:39,712 --> 00:30:41,923
- He goes, "You've got to get into
- bigger horsepower."
- 534
- 00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:44,634
- And so that was when
- Sharp and I decided...
- 535
- 00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:48,596
- I won't mention names. I've been with
- a lot of team owners over the years.
- 536
- 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,182
- They all lose their stomach
- for spending the money,
- 537
- 00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:52,767
- because racing's expensive.
- 538
- 00:30:53,142 --> 00:30:55,687
- And so, you know,
- Scott and I decided at that time,
- 539
- 00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:57,939
- "Hey, why don't we start our own team?
- 540
- 00:30:58,022 --> 00:31:00,108
- We know how much it costs,
- what it's going to do,
- 541
- 00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:03,361
- and we'll be in control
- of our own destiny as a race team."
- 542
- 00:31:03,444 --> 00:31:07,824
- So that's how Extreme Speed Motorsports,
- with Scott, started.
- 543
- 00:31:07,907 --> 00:31:10,827
- But it's always been Sharp
- shoving me along.
- 544
- 00:31:14,163 --> 00:31:18,376
- Racing and running businesses
- have a lot of parallels.
- 545
- 00:31:18,459 --> 00:31:22,213
- You know, the number-one thing
- is teamwork, on both sides, right?
- 546
- 00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:26,217
- My partner John Paul, he has a saying,
- "Success unshared is failure."
- 547
- 00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:28,469
- I've really tried
- to live my life that way.
- 548
- 00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:31,347
- I'm not just talking about charities
- and giving money to them,
- 549
- 00:31:31,431 --> 00:31:34,434
- but I really feel like
- it's taking care of my employees,
- 550
- 00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:35,810
- because they got us here.
- 551
- 00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:53,494
- A lot of the gentleman drivers
- have seen success in their business lives.
- 552
- 00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:55,246
- They will have seen failure, too.
- 553
- 00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:56,831
- I think that's quite important,
- 554
- 00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,250
- because when they come to this sport
- 555
- 00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:01,127
- failure is more likely.
- 556
- 00:32:01,961 --> 00:32:04,631
- No matter how good you are
- behind the wheel of a car,
- 557
- 00:32:04,714 --> 00:32:07,926
- you are a small cog in a very big team.
- 558
- 00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:10,053
- If the rest of the team
- isn't working for you,
- 559
- 00:32:10,136 --> 00:32:12,221
- you're not working for them,
- you won't win.
- 560
- 00:32:21,230 --> 00:32:23,858
- -Well, you had good laps going into here.
- -Yeah.
- 561
- 00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:26,235
- I mean, you had a bunch of 57s.
- 562
- 00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:28,446
- -I just need to get it right.
- -Yeah.
- 563
- 00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:31,199
- When I first started racing
- at a high level,
- 564
- 00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:33,743
- everybody would tiptoe around me.
- 565
- 00:32:33,826 --> 00:32:36,663
- I'm like, "No, no, no. Please.
- I'm just a worker here.
- 566
- 00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:38,623
- Be brutally honest."
- 567
- 00:32:38,706 --> 00:32:43,086
- I've been very fortunate that teammates
- and engineers, they will call me out.
- 568
- 00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,255
- - That will work out.
- - Yeah.
- 569
- 00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:48,800
- - I can run 57s.
- - I know, they were just saying.
- 570
- 00:32:48,883 --> 00:32:50,385
- - Just, I can't--
- - What's that?
- 571
- 00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:53,012
- -That's that fast right.
- -We're going to get you flat.
- 572
- 00:32:53,096 --> 00:32:56,182
- -You've just got to suck it.
- -I know I was turning in too early.
- 573
- 00:32:56,265 --> 00:32:58,893
- You've got to go way right
- and then come back way left.
- 574
- 00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,478
- A late apex across that hill.
- 575
- 00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:03,314
- Make yourself believe,
- especially if you're on good tires.
- 576
- 00:33:03,398 --> 00:33:06,609
- Drive all the way down to that sign
- before you park it and turn.
- 577
- 00:33:06,693 --> 00:33:09,153
- -I hate that turn.
- -You've got to go to the sign.
- 578
- 00:33:09,237 --> 00:33:11,739
- -There's no vision there.
- -The sign. The sign's the key.
- 579
- 00:33:15,034 --> 00:33:17,203
- You're not anybody's boss here.
- 580
- 00:33:17,286 --> 00:33:19,998
- And not only is it just good for you,
- 581
- 00:33:20,081 --> 00:33:22,375
- generally speaking, as a human being,
- 582
- 00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:26,421
- to have to be humble
- and occasionally embarrassed
- 583
- 00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:30,508
- because you don't do things
- as well as your comrades,
- 584
- 00:33:30,591 --> 00:33:34,887
- but also you discover
- that they have talents you didn't suspect.
- 585
- 00:33:34,971 --> 00:33:37,056
- And I, for example,
- 586
- 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:43,229
- was amazed at how clever my co-drivers
- were at handling the media, for example.
- 587
- 00:33:43,312 --> 00:33:46,274
- I was doing this every day as a CEO,
- 588
- 00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:50,570
- but these guys had a way
- of talking back to the journalists.
- 589
- 00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:52,613
- I thought, "I've got a lot to learn,
- 590
- 00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:54,574
- even in things
- I thought I knew how to do."
- 591
- 00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:58,745
- -Get him in the race.
- -That's right.
- 592
- 00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:03,666
- A really great leader isn't someone
- 593
- 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:06,294
- who takes all the credit for himself.
- 594
- 00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:09,881
- The most humble people
- tend to be the most confident.
- 595
- 00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:13,134
- The people who are able to say,
- 596
- 00:34:13,217 --> 00:34:16,637
- "You know what? In this situation
- you have more expertise than I do,
- 597
- 00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,222
- so please tell me what to do,
- 598
- 00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,768
- or give me some advice
- so that I can do what I'm doing better,"
- 599
- 00:34:21,851 --> 00:34:25,104
- they're the ones who have
- the most confidence in their ability
- 600
- 00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:28,608
- because by giving you
- the opportunity to instruct them,
- 601
- 00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:33,279
- they don't feel like they are being seen
- as a lesser individual.
- 602
- 00:34:33,362 --> 00:34:35,865
- And that's what makes people successful
- 603
- 00:34:35,948 --> 00:34:39,660
- across a whole range
- of different endeavors.
- 604
- 00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,830
- I mean, I blew the esses twice.
- 605
- 00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:44,457
- I came in way too hot.
- 606
- 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,210
- And then...
- 607
- 00:34:48,336 --> 00:34:50,463
- Then I started getting
- a bit of pace, but...
- 608
- 00:34:51,255 --> 00:34:53,591
- You picked it up better through the esses.
- 609
- 00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:56,010
- Right, well,
- I need a little help sometimes,
- 610
- 00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,638
- and it's nice to hear
- where I'm blowing it, so...
- 611
- 00:35:06,646 --> 00:35:12,443
- Honestly, I used to prefer when I did
- racing that was just me and the car.
- 612
- 00:35:12,527 --> 00:35:13,444
- Mm-hmm.
- 613
- 00:35:13,528 --> 00:35:18,199
- Because, at the end of the day,
- if I screwed up, it was all on me.
- 614
- 00:35:19,033 --> 00:35:22,620
- For me, before getting in a car,
- if you ask me, "Do you get nervous?"
- 615
- 00:35:22,703 --> 00:35:24,705
- I do, but it's because I want to deliver.
- 616
- 00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,208
- I don't want to be the guy
- who drops the ball.
- 617
- 00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,877
- -I don't want to disappoint my teammates.
- -Yeah.
- 618
- 00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:32,338
- Like when Johannes tells me...
- 619
- 00:35:32,421 --> 00:35:33,756
- You know, he grabs me
- 620
- 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,716
- and he'll tell me he's proud of me -
- 621
- 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,179
- that's greater
- than anything I do in business.
- 622
- 00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:41,389
- -You know?
- -No question.
- 623
- 00:35:41,472 --> 00:35:43,641
- Because here's a guy
- that drives for a living
- 624
- 00:35:43,724 --> 00:35:46,644
- and he was happy with
- what I did, you know?
- 625
- 00:35:46,727 --> 00:35:51,691
- But I think for the gentleman driver,
- that's huge pressure -
- 626
- 00:35:51,774 --> 00:35:53,693
- that when you drive with a pro,
- 627
- 00:35:54,110 --> 00:35:56,696
- you just don't want to disappoint them,
- 628
- 00:35:56,779 --> 00:36:01,033
- and you don't want to be the guy
- that screws up the race, you know?
- 629
- 00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:21,888
- We're in Bahrain for the final round of
- the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship,
- 630
- 00:36:21,971 --> 00:36:24,432
- the last 6 Hours of the season,
- 631
- 00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:27,602
- and all bar two championships
- are still up for grabs.
- 632
- 00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:32,440
- It's been a real return to form for
- Aston Martin in the last couple of races,
- 633
- 00:36:32,523 --> 00:36:37,111
- and here in Bahrain I would think that
- Paul will be looking for at least a podium
- 634
- 00:36:37,195 --> 00:36:38,404
- and possibly even a win.
- 635
- 00:36:38,905 --> 00:36:41,032
- For Ed Brown,
- they've had a difficult year.
- 636
- 00:36:41,115 --> 00:36:42,783
- Ed, I think, has grown as a driver,
- 637
- 00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:46,621
- and they will want a strong finish at
- the end of six hours for one or both cars.
- 638
- 00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:49,123
- For Ricardo Gonzalez,
- 639
- 00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:52,543
- well, his team car
- is going for the championship,
- 640
- 00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:55,546
- so there's a role to play for the #28.
- 641
- 00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:58,799
- But, of course, they will want to get
- a good result here as well.
- 642
- 00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:01,761
- This is actually
- probably our busiest weekend,
- 643
- 00:37:02,428 --> 00:37:05,056
- as far as business goes,
- outside the racetrack.
- 644
- 00:37:05,139 --> 00:37:08,226
- I'm here trying to put together
- Ricardo's team for next year,
- 645
- 00:37:08,309 --> 00:37:12,355
- and my main focus right now
- is how I can get the best combination
- 646
- 00:37:12,438 --> 00:37:15,441
- of Ricardo as a gentleman driver
- and our pro drivers.
- 647
- 00:37:15,524 --> 00:37:17,485
- It's a big puzzle
- you have to put together.
- 648
- 00:37:18,819 --> 00:37:22,949
- We're also finalizing the deal
- for the WEC race in Mexico next year,
- 649
- 00:37:23,032 --> 00:37:24,659
- so it's coming down to the wire.
- 650
- 00:37:24,742 --> 00:37:26,827
- Every time we get a few free minutes,
- 651
- 00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:29,789
- we're talking to people
- or negotiating deals.
- 652
- 00:37:30,414 --> 00:37:33,334
- So, I'll try to manage
- as much of that as possible,
- 653
- 00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,420
- and then once Ricardo's done driving
- I can tell him about it.
- 654
- 00:37:36,504 --> 00:37:40,258
- You either drive or focus on business.
- You can't do both at the same time.
- 655
- 00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:45,972
- The red lights are about
- to go out, as we start the last 6 Hours.
- 656
- 00:37:46,055 --> 00:37:48,307
- We're racing!
- The two Porsches get a decent start.
- 657
- 00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:51,519
- Fässler in the #7 Audi,
- very racey early on.
- 658
- 00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:55,064
- Down the inside, into second place,
- as they go towards the first corner.
- 659
- 00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:58,067
- No! Dumas has claimed back
- that second position.
- 660
- 00:37:58,150 --> 00:38:01,153
- All kinds of bumping in the LMP2 field.
- 661
- 00:38:02,029 --> 00:38:05,199
- GTs still trying to sort themselves out.
- 662
- 00:38:06,742 --> 00:38:12,665
- This is magnificent stuff in the early
- opening laps of the 6 Hours of Bahrain.
- 663
- 00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:16,460
- This, for me, is when it's the toughest.
- 664
- 00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:18,337
- You know, the butterflies are up,
- 665
- 00:38:18,754 --> 00:38:23,467
- I'm really not sure how those
- first couple of laps are going to be,
- 666
- 00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:25,970
- so just trying to calm down a little bit.
- 667
- 00:38:26,053 --> 00:38:30,099
- It's super close, so it makes me nervous
- but excited at the same time.
- 668
- 00:38:42,445 --> 00:38:44,405
- I'm going to be the second driver.
- 669
- 00:38:45,531 --> 00:38:47,742
- I asked the team's permission
- to arrive late.
- 670
- 00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:49,577
- I missed the autograph session
- 671
- 00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,913
- and missed driver-change practice.
- 672
- 00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:57,335
- I received a call at 1:00 a.m.
- to review a contract.
- 673
- 00:38:58,294 --> 00:39:01,505
- So, we found a couple of mistakes
- in the contract.
- 674
- 00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:05,134
- We were doing emails through the night,
- sending corrections,
- 675
- 00:39:05,217 --> 00:39:08,304
- and at 8:00 a.m.
- I received a final copy of the contract,
- 676
- 00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:10,765
- signed it and went to bed.
- 677
- 00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:14,518
- We've had a set of pit stops,
- 678
- 00:39:14,602 --> 00:39:16,896
- but the battle at the head of LMP2
- continues
- 679
- 00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:19,398
- between the two teams
- who have been at it all season.
- 680
- 00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:23,861
- KCMG, the #47 car,
- going ahead of the #26 machine.
- 681
- 00:39:23,944 --> 00:39:26,572
- "I'll have that position.
- Thank you very much indeed."
- 682
- 00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:34,288
- You're going to be in for just over
- your minimum hour and 20,
- 683
- 00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,290
- so those tires are going to have to last.
- 684
- 00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:39,251
- - Easy on them the first couple of laps.
- - OK.
- 685
- 00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:43,255
- Bring them in, just don't slide them.
- They don't have to last forever.
- 686
- 00:39:49,261 --> 00:39:51,597
- Thirty-one ESM Patrón into the pits,
- 687
- 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,725
- and it looks like
- Ed Brown is going to get in.
- 688
- 00:40:03,317 --> 00:40:04,777
- In GTE-Am,
- 689
- 00:40:04,860 --> 00:40:08,406
- it's been another good run for
- Paul Dalla Lana and the rest of his team.
- 690
- 00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:12,660
- Mathias Lauda still to drive that car.
- 691
- 00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:20,501
- Would you believe it?
- 692
- 00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:22,920
- The #31 car with more mechanical issues.
- 693
- 00:40:23,003 --> 00:40:25,965
- Left-rear suspension
- will bring that car into the pit lane.
- 694
- 00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:28,092
- They have just had a rotten season.
- 695
- 00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:31,804
- Ed Brown and ESM will be glad
- when this season's over.
- 696
- 00:40:33,389 --> 00:40:37,518
- We have an hour and 17 minutes left.
- 697
- 00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:42,940
- One of the suspension members
- in the left-rear broke on both cars,
- 698
- 00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:45,609
- so we need to investigate
- why that happened
- 699
- 00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,361
- and make sure it doesn't happen again.
- 700
- 00:40:50,322 --> 00:40:53,701
- I didn't love a whole lot about racing
- this past year, but...
- 701
- 00:40:54,118 --> 00:40:58,831
- after the season, I started to analyze
- what I need to do as a driver
- 702
- 00:40:58,914 --> 00:41:01,333
- to go now to the next couple of levels.
- 703
- 00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:05,004
- And that's where
- the competitiveness comes in me.
- 704
- 00:41:05,087 --> 00:41:08,048
- I could sit there and say,
- "It's fun. We drive around. Who cares?"
- 705
- 00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:11,177
- But I really don't want to do it
- if I can't win.
- 706
- 00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:17,558
- Paul Dalla Lana in the #98 Aston
- 707
- 00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:21,562
- has kept that car in contention
- for the win here in Bahrain.
- 708
- 00:41:22,062 --> 00:41:24,482
- Very strong run indeed from the Canadian.
- 709
- 00:41:25,024 --> 00:41:28,027
- He's done a sterling job
- in the middle of the race.
- 710
- 00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:34,074
- We're in P1 right now.
- 711
- 00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:37,995
- I don't know, it's going to be tough.
- 712
- 00:41:38,078 --> 00:41:42,750
- I think the #88 who's in second
- has a really strong finishing driver.
- 713
- 00:41:42,833 --> 00:41:44,460
- So an outside chance at a win,
- 714
- 00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:46,629
- but more than likely a podium
- 715
- 00:41:46,712 --> 00:41:49,590
- and third overall
- in the championship this year.
- 716
- 00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:52,051
- So, not unhappy with that, but...
- 717
- 00:41:52,551 --> 00:41:56,222
- you know, a year of something
- could have been better.
- 718
- 00:41:56,305 --> 00:41:57,515
- It goes back to Le Mans.
- 719
- 00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:01,310
- When I got out of the car,
- 720
- 00:42:01,393 --> 00:42:04,647
- I thought the team was going to say
- you didn't do good.
- 721
- 00:42:05,105 --> 00:42:07,733
- When I got out of the car they said,
- "Hey, you were...
- 722
- 00:42:08,984 --> 00:42:10,402
- hauling ass."
- 723
- 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,074
- The Aston and the Porsche 911
- 724
- 00:42:15,157 --> 00:42:17,243
- are neck and neck going into the chicane.
- 725
- 00:42:17,326 --> 00:42:19,286
- The #98 Aston has the better line.
- 726
- 00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:20,913
- That's a pass for position.
- 727
- 00:42:20,996 --> 00:42:22,873
- Second place. Marvelous work.
- 728
- 00:42:23,999 --> 00:42:26,168
- We are at risk of missing that flight.
- 729
- 00:42:26,835 --> 00:42:28,921
- But is the airport closer to here
- 730
- 00:42:29,004 --> 00:42:31,090
- or closer to the hotel?
- 731
- 00:42:32,091 --> 00:42:34,760
- There's no debate.
- You are going on the podium as well.
- 732
- 00:42:34,843 --> 00:42:36,845
- -No, no, no.
- -You absolutely are!
- 733
- 00:42:36,929 --> 00:42:41,100
- Listen, we've sent one of the boys,
- and they will meet you at the airport.
- 734
- 00:42:41,183 --> 00:42:43,435
- Or we just go there and...
- 735
- 00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:45,896
- -Just risk it. Just risk it.
- -Yeah.
- 736
- 00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:49,441
- The option is that we have to go
- to the 2:05 flight or whatever.
- 737
- 00:42:49,525 --> 00:42:51,777
- -Risk it. It doesn't happen very often.
- -OK.
- 738
- 00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:54,363
- -That's true.
- -You know what to do, the procedure.
- 739
- 00:42:54,446 --> 00:42:56,574
- We give you a little top.
- Everyone's happy.
- 740
- 00:42:56,657 --> 00:42:59,034
- -Are you happy with it?
- -Let's see. Let's see.
- 741
- 00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,371
- A late overtake by the #98 Aston Martin
- 742
- 00:43:02,454 --> 00:43:04,456
- has put them into first position.
- 743
- 00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:07,960
- Into the final corner of the season,
- and it's going to be a win.
- 744
- 00:43:08,043 --> 00:43:10,462
- The disappointment of Le Mans
- now behind them.
- 745
- 00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:15,718
- And that will give them third
- in the GT Championship for the season.
- 746
- 00:43:17,094 --> 00:43:18,095
- Let's go.
- 747
- 00:43:19,471 --> 00:43:20,472
- Thank you.
- 748
- 00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:22,850
- It was a fun moment on the podium,
- 749
- 00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:26,145
- you know, despite the time pressure
- to make a flight.
- 750
- 00:43:26,812 --> 00:43:29,398
- It's one of the challenges for me
- in terms of racing.
- 751
- 00:43:29,481 --> 00:43:33,694
- Being home and being available
- on a Monday morning is a huge priority.
- 752
- 00:43:34,194 --> 00:43:35,863
- And the winners...
- 753
- 00:43:35,946 --> 00:43:39,116
- #98, Aston Martin Racing!
- 754
- 00:43:42,703 --> 00:43:45,748
- My raison d'être for racing
- is really simple.
- 755
- 00:43:45,831 --> 00:43:47,791
- I wanted to achieve two things.
- 756
- 00:43:47,875 --> 00:43:49,960
- One was to push myself to the limit
- 757
- 00:43:50,044 --> 00:43:54,381
- and find out, you know,
- if I could do the sport at a high level.
- 758
- 00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:56,300
- The second thing, of course, is winning.
- 759
- 00:43:56,383 --> 00:43:59,428
- Not so much the glory -
- although it's nice to be acknowledged -
- 760
- 00:43:59,511 --> 00:44:03,265
- but I get more satisfaction
- out of my competitors acknowledging
- 761
- 00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:05,726
- that here's this person
- that was a late starter,
- 762
- 00:44:06,226 --> 00:44:08,771
- maybe in some ways shouldn't even be here,
- 763
- 00:44:08,854 --> 00:44:14,276
- and yet is up on the podium celebrating
- and achieving these results.
- 764
- 00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:20,949
- There's a spectrum of behaviors
- 765
- 00:44:21,033 --> 00:44:23,077
- that is called "Imposter Syndrome,"
- 766
- 00:44:23,452 --> 00:44:27,831
- and it's the idea
- that you've risen to a particular level,
- 767
- 00:44:27,915 --> 00:44:31,085
- but if people really knew who you were,
- 768
- 00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:34,171
- they might realize
- that you don't deserve that.
- 769
- 00:44:35,005 --> 00:44:37,966
- And so one of those markers,
- 770
- 00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:41,053
- one of those choice points
- in people's lives is,
- 771
- 00:44:41,136 --> 00:44:44,098
- "How do I deal with that sensation
- 772
- 00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:47,976
- that I may not yet deserve
- to be where I am?
- 773
- 00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:53,732
- Do I let that sensation guide my actions
- and keep me from success?
- 774
- 00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:57,861
- Or do I actually use that
- as a motivation to continue working
- 775
- 00:44:57,945 --> 00:44:59,822
- and try and achieve that success?"
- 776
- 00:44:59,905 --> 00:45:02,241
- And for people who are in that situation,
- 777
- 00:45:02,324 --> 00:45:07,121
- it's actually rarer for someone
- to work hard and succeed
- 778
- 00:45:07,204 --> 00:45:09,206
- than it is for people to give in to that.
- 779
- 00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:10,749
- It's much easier to give in.
- 780
- 00:45:13,001 --> 00:45:15,671
- I started NorthWest about 25 years ago,
- 781
- 00:45:15,754 --> 00:45:19,675
- just recently out of college
- and a brief career on Wall Street,
- 782
- 00:45:19,758 --> 00:45:22,386
- and I realized pretty early
- that I liked real estate,
- 783
- 00:45:22,469 --> 00:45:25,347
- and really started looking
- for the opportunity
- 784
- 00:45:25,431 --> 00:45:28,100
- to buy and invest
- in various types of real estate.
- 785
- 00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:31,186
- And more recently,
- probably in the last ten years,
- 786
- 00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:34,481
- we've come to focus almost exclusively
- on healthcare real estate.
- 787
- 00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:38,527
- Which is a bit strange, because in Canada
- we have a public health system,
- 788
- 00:45:38,610 --> 00:45:43,490
- and the provincial governments own the
- vast majority of healthcare real estate -
- 789
- 00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:45,242
- you know, hospitals and the like.
- 790
- 00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:47,619
- But we found a pretty interesting niche,
- 791
- 00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:50,456
- and it's one that's really playing out
- around the world.
- 792
- 00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:51,832
- So, over the last ten years,
- 793
- 00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:55,878
- we've really become a very significant
- owner of healthcare real estate
- 794
- 00:45:55,961 --> 00:45:58,714
- in Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
- 795
- 00:45:58,797 --> 00:46:01,133
- South America, and, of course, in Canada.
- 796
- 00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:05,262
- Clearly, completing the merger
- with NorthWest International
- 797
- 00:46:05,345 --> 00:46:08,015
- was the biggest thing
- we've been able to accomplish.
- 798
- 00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:10,684
- I mean, I think that leaves us
- in a great position,
- 799
- 00:46:10,767 --> 00:46:13,270
- but how do we make it even better?
- 800
- 00:46:13,353 --> 00:46:16,148
- What do we think about
- further down the line?
- 801
- 00:46:16,231 --> 00:46:19,151
- So, you know, maybe thinking past 2016
- 802
- 00:46:19,234 --> 00:46:21,653
- and the big opportunities
- for the business.
- 803
- 00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:22,654
- Yeah.
- 804
- 00:46:22,738 --> 00:46:24,740
- I started NorthWest with one property,
- 805
- 00:46:24,823 --> 00:46:28,744
- and really running it by myself
- with a cell phone and no office,
- 806
- 00:46:28,827 --> 00:46:32,456
- to now, you know, having hundreds
- of people working for the company
- 807
- 00:46:32,539 --> 00:46:34,041
- and hundreds of properties.
- 808
- 00:46:34,124 --> 00:46:38,170
- So it's been an incredible journey,
- and I think as a public company now,
- 809
- 00:46:38,253 --> 00:46:39,421
- as an entrepreneur,
- 810
- 00:46:39,505 --> 00:46:43,133
- and in particular as a person in charge
- of the strategy for the business,
- 811
- 00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,720
- I find myself wearing two hats every day
- coming in here.
- 812
- 00:46:46,803 --> 00:46:50,682
- "Are we on plan and are we capable of
- both hitting our quarters and our year?"
- 813
- 00:46:50,766 --> 00:46:53,769
- And at the same time
- being the chief disruptor,
- 814
- 00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:58,148
- coming in and saying, "Let's think about
- what we could do totally differently.
- 815
- 00:46:58,232 --> 00:47:00,108
- How could this be 10X?"
- 816
- 00:47:00,192 --> 00:47:02,069
- So it's a very interesting tension,
- 817
- 00:47:02,152 --> 00:47:05,822
- and I find that to be really rewarding.
- 818
- 00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:24,174
- Learning by doing
- seems to be a common theme for me.
- 819
- 00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:27,719
- It's the way that it happened
- at the start of my business career,
- 820
- 00:47:27,803 --> 00:47:30,472
- and I think racing's
- similar to that for me.
- 821
- 00:47:31,390 --> 00:47:33,850
- It's been
- a very interesting journey in racing.
- 822
- 00:47:34,393 --> 00:47:36,728
- I would say
- I'm an accidental gentleman driver,
- 823
- 00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:40,315
- in that although I have enjoyed
- racing over the years,
- 824
- 00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:44,403
- and I can remember
- even meeting my wife at a Formula 1 event,
- 825
- 00:47:44,486 --> 00:47:47,864
- my journey into the sport happened
- quite recently.
- 826
- 00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:50,993
- That was, you know,
- going to a track day with a friend,
- 827
- 00:47:51,076 --> 00:47:55,247
- having never driven a car on a racetrack,
- never done go-karting.
- 828
- 00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:57,499
- I showed up as green as you can be,
- 829
- 00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:01,962
- and I think after the first lap I knew
- that it was something that I wanted to do,
- 830
- 00:48:02,045 --> 00:48:05,841
- and enrolled the next week
- in racing school,
- 831
- 00:48:05,924 --> 00:48:07,551
- and started the week after that.
- 832
- 00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:15,767
- I think I always considered myself a good
- driver and somebody that appreciated cars,
- 833
- 00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:20,022
- and I very quickly found out that
- I didn't know the first thing about it.
- 834
- 00:48:20,105 --> 00:48:24,276
- So it was a real eye-opener
- that I had a whole lot to learn.
- 835
- 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,031
- So, in addition to racing and business,
- 836
- 00:48:29,114 --> 00:48:32,743
- recently I find myself involved
- in another new initiative,
- 837
- 00:48:32,826 --> 00:48:34,411
- which is philanthropy.
- 838
- 00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:36,913
- And I've become affiliated with
- 839
- 00:48:36,997 --> 00:48:39,791
- the University of Toronto
- School of Public Health.
- 840
- 00:48:40,667 --> 00:48:43,086
- -Howard, nice to see you. Thanks.
- -Paul, great to see you.
- 841
- 00:48:43,170 --> 00:48:47,299
- The Dalla Lana School of Public Health
- is one of the world's leading institutions
- 842
- 00:48:47,382 --> 00:48:51,094
- for training and research
- in population health.
- 843
- 00:48:51,762 --> 00:48:54,264
- It's about looking at millions of people
- 844
- 00:48:54,681 --> 00:48:58,185
- and figuring out how we can prevent
- disease from happening,
- 845
- 00:48:58,268 --> 00:49:01,480
- rather than simply spending the dollars
- on treating disease.
- 846
- 00:49:02,272 --> 00:49:06,318
- It's early days, but I'm really
- enjoying helping the university
- 847
- 00:49:06,401 --> 00:49:10,155
- tackle some of the most difficult problems
- that exist in the world.
- 848
- 00:49:41,478 --> 00:49:44,272
- What's important for me
- is to get the contracts done now.
- 849
- 00:49:44,356 --> 00:49:45,190
- Yes.
- 850
- 00:49:45,273 --> 00:49:47,317
- We need to focus on selling sponsorships.
- 851
- 00:49:47,401 --> 00:49:52,614
- The way we did it in Austin
- is you create, basically, a base package.
- 852
- 00:49:53,031 --> 00:49:55,951
- You take that and say,
- "Here's what we're putting together.
- 853
- 00:49:56,034 --> 00:49:58,161
- We're still working out the final details,
- 854
- 00:49:58,245 --> 00:50:00,247
- but you need to have this in your budget.
- 855
- 00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:04,167
- The estimated cost
- will be US$300,000." Right?
- 856
- 00:50:04,251 --> 00:50:09,756
- So they take that 300,000, that becomes
- a placeholder in their budget for 2016.
- 857
- 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,718
- So it's like,
- "Here are the contemplated assets,
- 858
- 00:50:12,801 --> 00:50:14,177
- here's the price,
- 859
- 00:50:14,261 --> 00:50:19,307
- and we'll have the final packages to you
- by March 31st."
- 860
- 00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:23,353
- Yeah, and what we can say
- is that whoever buys those
- 861
- 00:50:23,437 --> 00:50:25,147
- is going to be in it for three years...
- 862
- 00:50:25,230 --> 00:50:27,607
- -It's a three year deal.
- -If you want to be in, it's now or...
- 863
- 00:50:27,691 --> 00:50:32,279
- But the sales hook is saying that there
- are only so many packages, right?
- 864
- 00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:35,949
- You know, there's one title sponsor,
- and that's sold.
- 865
- 00:50:36,032 --> 00:50:37,576
- There's one presenting sponsor,
- 866
- 00:50:37,659 --> 00:50:39,953
- and there are, you know,
- five or six of these.
- 867
- 00:50:40,036 --> 00:50:42,539
- I don't want anything under 300,000.
- 868
- 00:50:42,622 --> 00:50:45,542
- There's appetite, so we don't want
- to be selling for less than that.
- 869
- 00:50:45,625 --> 00:50:46,626
- Right.
- 870
- 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,087
- And what happens
- if we run out of packages?
- 871
- 00:50:49,713 --> 00:50:51,673
- - You add more.
- - What?
- 872
- 00:50:51,757 --> 00:50:56,261
- - You add more.
- - If you sell out... we can always...
- 873
- 00:50:56,344 --> 00:50:58,221
- - That's a good problem to have.
- - We can...
- 874
- 00:50:58,305 --> 00:50:59,347
- It's going to happen.
- 875
- 00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:05,562
- You guys are all
- high-profile business guys, right?
- 876
- 00:51:05,645 --> 00:51:09,816
- Is it different now than
- when it was a start-up - the drive of it?
- 877
- 00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:12,486
- So, here's me - I'm competitive.
- 878
- 00:51:12,569 --> 00:51:13,570
- And...
- 879
- 00:51:14,738 --> 00:51:16,740
- So I sit there and I'm like,
- 880
- 00:51:16,823 --> 00:51:20,577
- "Wow, Patrón's worth X amount of billions.
- That's awesome.
- 881
- 00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:23,705
- But how did this guy
- with a stupid little Internet company...
- 882
- 00:51:23,789 --> 00:51:26,124
- He's worth 40 billion?"
- 883
- 00:51:26,208 --> 00:51:29,294
- And it... motivates me, and it drives me,
- 884
- 00:51:29,377 --> 00:51:31,004
- and it drives me crazy.
- 885
- 00:51:31,087 --> 00:51:34,299
- So it pushes me to continue to say,
- 886
- 00:51:34,382 --> 00:51:36,718
- "OK, I've got to keep pushing."
- 887
- 00:51:36,802 --> 00:51:38,553
- To me, it's not about the money.
- 888
- 00:51:38,637 --> 00:51:40,514
- It's more about winning or losing.
- 889
- 00:51:40,597 --> 00:51:43,266
- It's like,
- whether it's racing or business,
- 890
- 00:51:43,350 --> 00:51:45,310
- or whatever, I want to win.
- 891
- 00:51:45,727 --> 00:51:48,104
- The business is business.
- It's kind of just...
- 892
- 00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:49,648
- For me, it's more about...
- 893
- 00:51:51,066 --> 00:51:53,360
- It's the means to an end, you know?
- 894
- 00:51:53,443 --> 00:51:57,155
- It's basically just a tool so I get to do
- all the things I really want to do.
- 895
- 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,991
- You said that when you retired,
- you sold your company...
- 896
- 00:52:00,075 --> 00:52:03,036
- Yeah, I sold my company,
- and then I started racing.
- 897
- 00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:06,289
- What are you going to do, right?
- Sit around and garden? No way.
- 898
- 00:52:06,373 --> 00:52:08,166
- I loved the early days of Patrón.
- 899
- 00:52:08,250 --> 00:52:10,168
- I don't get to do the things
- I loved to do,
- 900
- 00:52:10,252 --> 00:52:13,296
- like working in the bars
- and showing people why it was better
- 901
- 00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:15,632
- and stuff like that,
- but that's what happens.
- 902
- 00:52:15,715 --> 00:52:18,009
- Would you give up the money,
- go back and do that?
- 903
- 00:52:18,093 --> 00:52:20,011
- - Probably not.
- - Yeah.
- 904
- 00:52:25,058 --> 00:52:26,977
- Silverstone in the center of the UK
- 905
- 00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:29,896
- is the traditional start
- of the European Le Mans Series.
- 906
- 00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:33,316
- Traditional weather as well
- greeting the teams and drivers.
- 907
- 00:52:33,733 --> 00:52:35,819
- United Autosports, one of the favorites,
- 908
- 00:52:35,902 --> 00:52:38,363
- they've got a new driver this year,
- Mike Guasch.
- 909
- 00:52:38,738 --> 00:52:41,616
- It's raining.
- We've got all this new kit, right?
- 910
- 00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:45,370
- We're going to get it all soaking wet,
- muddy and crappy. It is what it is.
- 911
- 00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:49,332
- This is our first race.
- It's very important.
- 912
- 00:52:49,416 --> 00:52:52,210
- Obviously we need it
- as an establishing point.
- 913
- 00:52:52,294 --> 00:52:54,629
- We've got an all-new driver lineup.
- 914
- 00:52:55,380 --> 00:52:58,341
- It's important, because we've got
- potential sponsors coming,
- 915
- 00:52:58,425 --> 00:53:01,761
- we have lots of customers coming,
- so we need to show well.
- 916
- 00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:05,390
- This is a little bit
- of an unusual weekend,
- 917
- 00:53:05,473 --> 00:53:08,059
- as far as automobile racing is concerned.
- 918
- 00:53:08,143 --> 00:53:11,771
- Two big series racing separately
- 919
- 00:53:11,855 --> 00:53:14,357
- on the same weekend, at the same circuit.
- 920
- 00:53:15,025 --> 00:53:19,029
- The World Endurance Championship
- 6 Hours of Silverstone is tomorrow.
- 921
- 00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:22,365
- Teams are already
- in the main paddock preparing for that.
- 922
- 00:53:22,449 --> 00:53:24,618
- Maybe the weather might improve by then,
- 923
- 00:53:24,701 --> 00:53:26,036
- but that's not the case today
- 924
- 00:53:26,119 --> 00:53:29,205
- for the European Le Mans Series
- 4 Hours of Silverstone.
- 925
- 00:53:29,289 --> 00:53:33,293
- Lots of rain should make
- for a very interesting race indeed.
- 926
- 00:53:34,586 --> 00:53:37,130
- Coming to the rolling start.
- About to get underway.
- 927
- 00:53:37,213 --> 00:53:38,214
- It's slippery.
- 928
- 00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:40,133
- There's a spinner in the background!
- 929
- 00:53:40,634 --> 00:53:44,179
- And that's Léo Roussel into the wall
- in the Pegasus LMP2!
- 930
- 00:53:44,262 --> 00:53:46,848
- What an astonishing start
- here at Silverstone!
- 931
- 00:53:47,223 --> 00:53:51,061
- There's lock-ups into the first corner!
- Cars going off the circuit wide!
- 932
- 00:53:52,437 --> 00:53:54,064
- Right in the middle of the shot,
- 933
- 00:53:54,147 --> 00:53:55,398
- just going to the right,
- 934
- 00:53:55,482 --> 00:53:59,277
- that's the LMP3 leader Alex Brundle
- for United Autosports.
- 935
- 00:53:59,361 --> 00:54:03,031
- That's a brand-new team to this
- championship in their first race.
- 936
- 00:54:10,455 --> 00:54:11,498
- So far...
- 937
- 00:54:13,291 --> 00:54:16,044
- less than 25 minutes in,
- we're running first and second.
- 938
- 00:54:17,796 --> 00:54:19,381
- It doesn't get better than that.
- 939
- 00:54:23,969 --> 00:54:26,346
- LMP3 leader from United Autosports,
- 940
- 00:54:26,429 --> 00:54:28,306
- the #2 car in the pits.
- 941
- 00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:31,101
- Alex Brundle, he's done a great job
- 942
- 00:54:31,184 --> 00:54:32,852
- on a very difficult day.
- 943
- 00:54:32,936 --> 00:54:36,272
- He's getting out. Mike Guasch
- getting in for his first stint.
- 944
- 00:54:39,734 --> 00:54:42,112
- It was sketchy
- through the first couple of corners.
- 945
- 00:54:42,195 --> 00:54:44,239
- There were a couple of shunts we dodged.
- 946
- 00:54:45,031 --> 00:54:47,325
- Then, luckily,
- I was able to get up into P1...
- 947
- 00:54:48,076 --> 00:54:49,577
- and then pulled a little gap.
- 948
- 00:54:49,661 --> 00:54:51,371
- So all is going well so far,
- 949
- 00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:55,041
- but it's only one hour of the race gone,
- and there's a long way to go.
- 950
- 00:54:56,042 --> 00:54:58,670
- So we'll... wait and see.
- 951
- 00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,386
- Last year, I was only a driver.
- 952
- 00:55:06,761 --> 00:55:09,764
- I got to have a lot of fun
- with my teammates.
- 953
- 00:55:09,848 --> 00:55:12,684
- Very young teammates, actually -
- 21 and 25 years old.
- 954
- 00:55:12,767 --> 00:55:16,062
- And... So, just having fun.
- 955
- 00:55:16,146 --> 00:55:19,232
- But now, this year, things have changed.
- 956
- 00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:24,571
- The team looks up to me more as the boss
- or the leader of the team,
- 957
- 00:55:24,654 --> 00:55:27,073
- so I think I have to behave
- a little bit more.
- 958
- 00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:31,411
- Yeah, and not being happy with
- the extra work of team owner,
- 959
- 00:55:31,494 --> 00:55:33,663
- I'm now the promoter for the Mexico race,
- 960
- 00:55:34,622 --> 00:55:36,541
- and that's very exciting.
- 961
- 00:55:36,624 --> 00:55:39,836
- Being able, if we win,
- to win with the Mexican anthem,
- 962
- 00:55:39,919 --> 00:55:42,881
- I think that's going to be
- very important for our country.
- 963
- 00:55:45,008 --> 00:55:48,636
- LMP3 leader
- United Autosports in the pit lane.
- 964
- 00:55:49,512 --> 00:55:52,140
- They've done a cracking job
- with both cars.
- 965
- 00:55:54,517 --> 00:55:57,896
- I haven't driven this car
- on this track at all, so...
- 966
- 00:55:58,688 --> 00:56:02,692
- I'll just take it easy, because you see
- all the yellow and red flags.
- 967
- 00:56:02,776 --> 00:56:07,030
- Everyone's going off. If you try to be
- a hero, it's not going to do you any good.
- 968
- 00:56:07,113 --> 00:56:10,116
- So it's just all about
- being really cautious.
- 969
- 00:56:10,533 --> 00:56:12,869
- Go as fast as you can,
- but be really cautious.
- 970
- 00:56:16,164 --> 00:56:17,707
- It's been a great run
- 971
- 00:56:17,791 --> 00:56:21,127
- in pace and in strategy
- from United Autosports.
- 972
- 00:56:21,211 --> 00:56:24,422
- Their #2 car is leading,
- but it's starting to rain.
- 973
- 00:56:24,506 --> 00:56:26,633
- That could throw a cat among the pigeons.
- 974
- 00:56:28,301 --> 00:56:30,136
- We just got a full-course yellow.
- 975
- 00:56:30,220 --> 00:56:31,471
- We're leading the race.
- 976
- 00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:33,765
- We still need to get fuel.
- 977
- 00:56:33,848 --> 00:56:36,559
- One more pit stop,
- which is about a 40-second pit stop.
- 978
- 00:56:36,643 --> 00:56:38,228
- So we're getting it right now,
- 979
- 00:56:38,311 --> 00:56:40,939
- and under yellow, which is perfect.
- 980
- 00:56:41,022 --> 00:56:44,234
- So if we get it out here,
- we're going to put five gallons in it.
- 981
- 00:56:44,317 --> 00:56:46,694
- A little splash and go.
- There you go, right now.
- 982
- 00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:52,784
- We've only got a one-minute lead,
- 983
- 00:56:52,867 --> 00:56:54,828
- so... nail-biter.
- 984
- 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,710
- So, about half a lap to go
- for United Autosports.
- 985
- 00:57:02,794 --> 00:57:05,088
- Trying to hold onto that position.
- 986
- 00:57:07,966 --> 00:57:10,051
- A bit of concern in the pit lane.
- 987
- 00:57:10,135 --> 00:57:12,345
- We know they think they're tight on fuel.
- 988
- 00:57:12,428 --> 00:57:15,807
- That car is going very, very slow indeed.
- It's not up to pace.
- 989
- 00:57:17,767 --> 00:57:19,602
- It's going to stagger over the line!
- 990
- 00:57:19,686 --> 00:57:22,397
- It's a win!
- It's a win for United Autosports!
- 991
- 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,526
- Zak Brown and Richard Dean
- lead the celebrations in the pit garage.
- 992
- 00:57:26,609 --> 00:57:28,027
- What a great run!
- 993
- 00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:35,493
- That was close.
- Those fuckers almost caught us.
- 994
- 00:57:35,577 --> 00:57:38,788
- - They fucked up our fuel! Unbelievable!
- - ...next time.
- 995
- 00:57:39,747 --> 00:57:42,125
- Let's go to the podium,
- get some champagne.
- 996
- 00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:48,381
- The LMP3 podium.
- 997
- 00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:51,509
- United Autosports, what a win for them!
- 998
- 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,224
- It's a new day
- and a new race at Silverstone.
- 999
- 00:57:58,308 --> 00:57:59,517
- It's still quite cold,
- 1000
- 00:57:59,601 --> 00:58:02,353
- but the rain has stopped
- and the sun's come out
- 1001
- 00:58:02,437 --> 00:58:07,484
- for the start of the 2016
- World Endurance Championship season.
- 1002
- 00:58:07,567 --> 00:58:09,652
- The LMP1s at the front of the field
- 1003
- 00:58:09,736 --> 00:58:12,155
- have more technology
- than put man on the moon,
- 1004
- 00:58:12,780 --> 00:58:15,450
- and they're nearly as quick
- as a Saturn V as well.
- 1005
- 00:58:16,117 --> 00:58:20,079
- The lights are out, six hours are on the
- clock, and we're racing at Silverstone!
- 1006
- 00:58:20,747 --> 00:58:22,499
- Audi, Audi, Porsche, Porsche,
- 1007
- 00:58:22,582 --> 00:58:25,376
- Toyota, Toyota
- down towards the first right-hander.
- 1008
- 00:58:25,460 --> 00:58:27,170
- Look at the LMP2 battle!
- 1009
- 00:58:27,253 --> 00:58:28,963
- Was there a touch in the midfield?
- 1010
- 00:58:29,047 --> 00:58:31,466
- One, two, three, four wide at one point,
- I counted!
- 1011
- 00:58:34,093 --> 00:58:36,304
- New livery for Aston Martin for 2016.
- 1012
- 00:58:36,846 --> 00:58:39,057
- And that dark gray and yellow #98
- 1013
- 00:58:39,140 --> 00:58:42,060
- has not been keeping pace in GTE-Am.
- 1014
- 00:58:46,523 --> 00:58:47,857
- Well, this is interesting.
- 1015
- 00:58:47,941 --> 00:58:50,652
- The red and black car is RGR,
- 1016
- 00:58:50,735 --> 00:58:53,196
- the new team for Ricardo Gonzalez.
- 1017
- 00:58:53,279 --> 00:58:54,531
- Bruno Senna at the wheel.
- 1018
- 00:58:55,573 --> 00:58:58,618
- The orange and black car
- that he's about to pass
- 1019
- 00:58:58,701 --> 00:59:01,204
- is the former team that he raced with!
- 1020
- 00:59:01,829 --> 00:59:03,248
- Great move by Senna!
- 1021
- 00:59:07,877 --> 00:59:12,257
- Right now we're second, but Pipo
- over there pitted early for some reason,
- 1022
- 00:59:12,340 --> 00:59:14,759
- which is strange,
- but I think that's good for us.
- 1023
- 00:59:14,842 --> 00:59:16,427
- Things are looking pretty good.
- 1024
- 00:59:16,511 --> 00:59:19,347
- Ricardo's going to go in now,
- and we'll see how he goes.
- 1025
- 00:59:19,430 --> 00:59:22,350
- He's going to do his first stint
- as a team owner.
- 1026
- 00:59:24,269 --> 00:59:26,437
- Great LMP2 action.
- 1027
- 00:59:27,313 --> 00:59:28,648
- Very, very close indeed.
- 1028
- 00:59:28,731 --> 00:59:31,317
- Thirty-one ESM car in traffic.
- 1029
- 00:59:32,151 --> 00:59:34,988
- G-Drive coming through as well, then RGR.
- 1030
- 00:59:35,071 --> 00:59:36,364
- It's very tight.
- 1031
- 00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:39,951
- Into the pits for Ed Brown,
- 1032
- 00:59:40,034 --> 00:59:43,413
- who's in the #30
- Tequila Patrón ESM car this season.
- 1033
- 00:59:43,913 --> 00:59:47,750
- So far it's not been a great start
- to the season for the ESM team.
- 1034
- 00:59:51,462 --> 00:59:54,382
- That seat is so fucking bad.
- So fucking bad.
- 1035
- 00:59:54,465 --> 00:59:56,926
- So, I had to lift myself up,
- 1036
- 00:59:57,010 --> 00:59:59,637
- you know,
- to pull my butt down in a corner.
- 1037
- 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,681
- It's terrible.
- 1038
- 01:00:11,566 --> 01:00:14,485
- I think that was my worst stint ever,
- I've got to tell you.
- 1039
- 01:00:14,569 --> 01:00:16,529
- -I got punted off twice.
- -Yeah.
- 1040
- 01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:19,574
- -Then I made a couple of mistakes.
- -You were running consistently.
- 1041
- 01:00:19,657 --> 01:00:22,577
- For a bit, and then I just...
- It's just frustrating.
- 1042
- 01:00:22,660 --> 01:00:24,954
- I really feel like I left a lot out there,
- 1043
- 01:00:25,038 --> 01:00:29,042
- so... I'd say at least 25 seconds
- for mistakes.
- 1044
- 01:00:33,796 --> 01:00:37,050
- Each of the classes
- have their own results and own podium,
- 1045
- 01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:38,593
- and in LMP2
- 1046
- 01:00:38,676 --> 01:00:41,095
- there's a big story brewing here.
- 1047
- 01:00:43,890 --> 01:00:46,976
- We've got 18 minutes to go
- and we're leading right now.
- 1048
- 01:00:47,518 --> 01:00:50,271
- So it's a little nerve-wracking right now,
- 1049
- 01:00:50,355 --> 01:00:54,734
- but we might start our team with a win
- in our first race ever.
- 1050
- 01:00:58,029 --> 01:01:02,784
- Ricardo Gonzalez made
- the jump from driver to team manager,
- 1051
- 01:01:02,867 --> 01:01:05,953
- and the fairy-story has come true.
- 1052
- 01:01:06,037 --> 01:01:09,749
- RGR take the victory at Silverstone.
- 1053
- 01:01:11,459 --> 01:01:14,295
- A maiden victory
- for Ricardo Gonzalez's team.
- 1054
- 01:01:15,922 --> 01:01:17,757
- Along with Albuquerque and Senna,
- 1055
- 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,884
- it's been a hard-fought victory.
- 1056
- 01:01:20,468 --> 01:01:21,678
- Totally deserved,
- 1057
- 01:01:21,761 --> 01:01:24,847
- and what a way to promote
- the 6 Hours of Mexico.
- 1058
- 01:01:26,766 --> 01:01:29,185
- For me, I think humility is everything.
- 1059
- 01:01:29,268 --> 01:01:30,436
- You have to...
- 1060
- 01:01:31,145 --> 01:01:33,272
- give credit to people
- when they deserve it.
- 1061
- 01:01:34,065 --> 01:01:36,025
- I love working with the team,
- 1062
- 01:01:36,109 --> 01:01:37,819
- and just getting in the car,
- 1063
- 01:01:37,902 --> 01:01:42,240
- and just trying to do the max
- out of what you have...
- 1064
- 01:01:43,074 --> 01:01:46,327
- and then sharing that with teammates -
- 1065
- 01:01:46,411 --> 01:01:47,829
- I think that's what I enjoy.
- 1066
- 01:01:47,912 --> 01:01:51,290
- It's not that much about winning
- or not winning.
- 1067
- 01:01:51,374 --> 01:01:53,459
- It's just being there, being part of it.
- 1068
- 01:01:56,254 --> 01:01:57,922
- There's a lot of research
- 1069
- 01:01:58,005 --> 01:02:01,300
- on the relationship between
- being an entrepreneur
- 1070
- 01:02:01,384 --> 01:02:03,928
- and what's called your risk tolerance.
- 1071
- 01:02:04,011 --> 01:02:06,139
- And it might look from the outside
- 1072
- 01:02:06,222 --> 01:02:09,600
- like entrepreneurs are willing to be
- more risky than most people.
- 1073
- 01:02:10,268 --> 01:02:14,355
- In fact, what they do is learn enough
- 1074
- 01:02:14,439 --> 01:02:17,066
- so they believe
- that the thing they're doing
- 1075
- 01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:18,901
- actually isn't that risky.
- 1076
- 01:02:19,444 --> 01:02:22,530
- I think the same thing is true
- with racing.
- 1077
- 01:02:23,406 --> 01:02:27,076
- My guess is that
- most of these gentleman drivers
- 1078
- 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,788
- don't see what they're doing
- as being all that risky.
- 1079
- 01:02:30,872 --> 01:02:34,751
- What they see is that they are engaging
- something that would be risky
- 1080
- 01:02:34,834 --> 01:02:38,546
- if they hadn't actually spent a lot
- of time learning how to do it properly.
- 1081
- 01:02:43,468 --> 01:02:45,553
- This is my latest company,
- Molecule Labs.
- 1082
- 01:02:46,679 --> 01:02:48,306
- We've been around for two years.
- 1083
- 01:02:48,389 --> 01:02:53,060
- What we do here is we make the fluids
- and e-liquids for electronic cigarettes.
- 1084
- 01:02:54,312 --> 01:02:55,980
- A lot of people ask me about risk
- 1085
- 01:02:56,063 --> 01:02:58,775
- and all the risks I'm taking
- when I start businesses,
- 1086
- 01:02:58,858 --> 01:03:00,777
- and how do I assess risk.
- 1087
- 01:03:01,486 --> 01:03:05,698
- For one thing, I'm not a gambler.
- I don't feel like any of this is a gamble.
- 1088
- 01:03:05,782 --> 01:03:09,827
- I look at these
- as very intelligent decisions -
- 1089
- 01:03:09,911 --> 01:03:12,872
- just that you need to do these things
- to go forward.
- 1090
- 01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:16,542
- It's slightly risky spending millions
- of dollars building a new facility
- 1091
- 01:03:16,626 --> 01:03:18,836
- in a new industry
- that's not regulated yet,
- 1092
- 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,048
- but I try to look at the future
- and make a calculated decision,
- 1093
- 01:03:22,131 --> 01:03:23,424
- and then don't look back.
- 1094
- 01:03:24,884 --> 01:03:26,677
- It's the same thing in a race car.
- 1095
- 01:03:26,761 --> 01:03:29,430
- It's one reason
- why endurance racing has done me well,
- 1096
- 01:03:29,514 --> 01:03:31,349
- because you've got to think long-term.
- 1097
- 01:03:31,432 --> 01:03:32,600
- It's not a sprint race.
- 1098
- 01:03:32,683 --> 01:03:36,312
- We have four-hour, six-hour,
- 12-hour, 24-hour races.
- 1099
- 01:03:36,687 --> 01:03:38,397
- You don't take big risks.
- 1100
- 01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:41,317
- So it's worked out well
- for my personality.
- 1101
- 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,070
- Get in there, go 90-95% all the time.
- 1102
- 01:03:44,570 --> 01:03:46,697
- But going 100-105%,
- 1103
- 01:03:46,781 --> 01:03:49,408
- that's risky and not for me.
- 1104
- 01:03:50,535 --> 01:03:55,081
- We're now in charge of the branding
- of the new Smith & Baxter line.
- 1105
- 01:03:55,164 --> 01:03:56,916
- We're now on version three.
- 1106
- 01:03:56,999 --> 01:03:58,960
- Once we do the physical mockup,
- 1107
- 01:03:59,043 --> 01:04:02,588
- we have to see if it changes
- the look and feel on some of these.
- 1108
- 01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:06,676
- So, the other alternative was just to do
- this square block for the flavors.
- 1109
- 01:04:06,759 --> 01:04:09,637
- But I do like the way
- we've color-coded the flavors, too.
- 1110
- 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,558
- They're very, very adult, and we don't see
- a lot of that in the industry.
- 1111
- 01:04:13,641 --> 01:04:15,268
- I agree. I agree.
- 1112
- 01:04:15,351 --> 01:04:19,647
- I'm happy with this, and I think the next
- round would be changing these up,
- 1113
- 01:04:19,730 --> 01:04:23,234
- getting some iterations here,
- and I think we're going to be good to go.
- 1114
- 01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:27,446
- Going way back,
- my dad had a carpet-cleaning company.
- 1115
- 01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:29,532
- So I grew up in that business,
- 1116
- 01:04:29,615 --> 01:04:32,577
- but after a few years I realized
- there's something better for me.
- 1117
- 01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:36,455
- I didn't know what it was,
- but I knew that was not my calling.
- 1118
- 01:04:36,539 --> 01:04:41,085
- So I sold all that off and went into
- the consulting business to the industry,
- 1119
- 01:04:41,168 --> 01:04:44,714
- and I taught all these cleaning companies
- service techniques
- 1120
- 01:04:44,797 --> 01:04:47,466
- and sales techniques,
- because I was really good at it.
- 1121
- 01:04:47,550 --> 01:04:51,637
- So that's when I started to get a feel
- for the chemical industry,
- 1122
- 01:04:51,721 --> 01:04:55,308
- because I worked for chemical companies
- selling into the cleaning industry.
- 1123
- 01:04:55,391 --> 01:04:58,102
- I saw giant manufacturing lines
- and giant tanks,
- 1124
- 01:04:58,185 --> 01:04:59,896
- and bottles shooting off lines.
- 1125
- 01:04:59,979 --> 01:05:01,689
- I said, "Oh, my God. This is cool."
- 1126
- 01:05:02,189 --> 01:05:05,359
- I didn't care about the money,
- I didn't care about what it was.
- 1127
- 01:05:05,443 --> 01:05:09,196
- I just thought manufacturing something
- and shipping it out in volume,
- 1128
- 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,450
- and seeing pallets and trucks of stuff
- going out the back door,
- 1129
- 01:05:12,533 --> 01:05:16,037
- that was just, to me, extremely cool.
- 1130
- 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,456
- So I said,
- "I want to be in this business."
- 1131
- 01:05:18,539 --> 01:05:21,042
- I ended up making
- millions of dollars doing it,
- 1132
- 01:05:21,125 --> 01:05:24,378
- and that allowed me the time
- and the ability to go back to racing,
- 1133
- 01:05:24,462 --> 01:05:26,589
- because I had put it on hold for 20 years.
- 1134
- 01:05:44,941 --> 01:05:47,526
- Essentially,
- I started racing back when I was a kid.
- 1135
- 01:05:47,610 --> 01:05:49,445
- Well, "kid" - 18 years old.
- 1136
- 01:05:49,528 --> 01:05:54,367
- But at about 25 or 26, after a number
- of years of racing different things -
- 1137
- 01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:56,035
- Jet Skis, motorcycles -
- 1138
- 01:05:56,118 --> 01:05:58,496
- doing very well as an amateur,
- could turn pro...
- 1139
- 01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:00,915
- it just didn't make sense.
- 1140
- 01:06:00,998 --> 01:06:03,084
- Financially, I would never
- make a living out of it,
- 1141
- 01:06:03,167 --> 01:06:05,086
- so I said, "That's not going to work."
- 1142
- 01:06:05,169 --> 01:06:09,090
- I had to quit. From 25 to 45 -
- 20 years - I didn't get to race.
- 1143
- 01:06:09,173 --> 01:06:13,344
- So I said, "I'll go back to that
- and see if there's anything in it for me."
- 1144
- 01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:17,056
- So I started slowly, you know?
- I got into go-karts.
- 1145
- 01:06:17,139 --> 01:06:20,851
- Then I said, "I can do this. I'm going
- to start a racing team. Great idea."
- 1146
- 01:06:20,935 --> 01:06:22,520
- So I bought race cars and semis,
- 1147
- 01:06:22,603 --> 01:06:25,856
- got a building, and I spent
- a million bucks - whatever it was -
- 1148
- 01:06:25,940 --> 01:06:29,276
- and built a whole marketing business
- around this race team.
- 1149
- 01:06:30,194 --> 01:06:31,529
- That was a big mistake.
- 1150
- 01:06:31,612 --> 01:06:32,947
- I got my ass kicked.
- 1151
- 01:06:33,030 --> 01:06:35,116
- Flat-out kicked. Embarrassingly kicked.
- 1152
- 01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:38,035
- Last place by, you know, 20 seconds.
- 1153
- 01:06:38,577 --> 01:06:39,912
- Two races of that,
- 1154
- 01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:43,249
- I just pulled off the national scene,
- came back to California,
- 1155
- 01:06:43,332 --> 01:06:47,878
- and then ran in the Western United States
- for about three years,
- 1156
- 01:06:47,962 --> 01:06:49,839
- perfected my skill,
- 1157
- 01:06:49,922 --> 01:06:51,924
- then went back out to the national scene
- 1158
- 01:06:52,008 --> 01:06:54,927
- and actually won
- the National Championship in 2009.
- 1159
- 01:06:56,178 --> 01:06:58,848
- This is my simulator
- that I use for practicing
- 1160
- 01:06:58,931 --> 01:07:01,058
- before I go to a racetrack I don't know,
- 1161
- 01:07:01,142 --> 01:07:02,893
- essentially to learn the track,
- 1162
- 01:07:02,977 --> 01:07:04,937
- learn the corners, the braking points.
- 1163
- 01:07:05,021 --> 01:07:08,190
- This is Silverstone,
- which we just raced a few weeks ago.
- 1164
- 01:07:08,274 --> 01:07:10,985
- We won, and I think the simulator
- is a big part of why,
- 1165
- 01:07:11,068 --> 01:07:13,237
- because I know the track
- before I get there.
- 1166
- 01:07:16,824 --> 01:07:18,451
- It's not as easy as it looks.
- 1167
- 01:07:18,534 --> 01:07:20,786
- People have said
- it doesn't matter when you start.
- 1168
- 01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:23,039
- Start at five years old,
- you're good at 15.
- 1169
- 01:07:23,122 --> 01:07:24,874
- You start at 25, you're good at 35.
- 1170
- 01:07:24,957 --> 01:07:27,043
- It just takes you ten years
- to figure it out,
- 1171
- 01:07:27,126 --> 01:07:30,254
- and I didn't start
- until I was 45-46 years old.
- 1172
- 01:07:30,337 --> 01:07:32,715
- So now it's starting to work.
- 1173
- 01:07:40,014 --> 01:07:42,767
- I really do need racing
- to keep me motivated.
- 1174
- 01:07:43,184 --> 01:07:45,394
- I think I train harder than most.
- 1175
- 01:07:45,478 --> 01:07:49,148
- Physically, hell, I'm older than
- everybody, so I've got to make up for it.
- 1176
- 01:07:49,231 --> 01:07:52,234
- But also, even if I wasn't,
- I would be training just as hard.
- 1177
- 01:07:52,318 --> 01:07:54,487
- If I'm not training,
- someone else is training.
- 1178
- 01:07:54,570 --> 01:07:57,114
- If I'm not practicing,
- someone else is practicing.
- 1179
- 01:07:57,198 --> 01:08:00,659
- If they're getting better than I am
- at the time, I'm going backwards.
- 1180
- 01:08:01,202 --> 01:08:02,787
- I feel the same way with business.
- 1181
- 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:06,916
- If we're not pushing all the time, someone
- else is, and we're going to get behind.
- 1182
- 01:08:12,630 --> 01:08:16,592
- Have you guys ever decided
- to take a big risk
- 1183
- 01:08:16,675 --> 01:08:20,262
- and completely had it go
- really wrong in business?
- 1184
- 01:08:20,346 --> 01:08:21,388
- My race team.
- 1185
- 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:25,935
- Yes, I think you're right.
- 1186
- 01:08:26,018 --> 01:08:29,897
- That's the only way
- you can become a millionaire.
- 1187
- 01:08:30,689 --> 01:08:33,859
- You're a billionaire, you open
- a race team, then you're a millionaire.
- 1188
- 01:08:35,861 --> 01:08:40,699
- Yeah. You think you know it all
- and then you try it. Oh, my God.
- 1189
- 01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:42,743
- Not very profitable,
- the race team, so far.
- 1190
- 01:08:44,453 --> 01:08:47,123
- If you're trying to make money
- on the race team, stop.
- 1191
- 01:08:47,206 --> 01:08:50,543
- No, no, no.
- I know that's not going to make money.
- 1192
- 01:09:11,522 --> 01:09:15,192
- We're getting ready for the 6 Hours
- of Mexico, a very special race for us.
- 1193
- 01:09:15,276 --> 01:09:17,611
- Not only because we're
- the only Mexican team,
- 1194
- 01:09:17,695 --> 01:09:20,406
- but actually because Ricardo's
- the promoter of this race,
- 1195
- 01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:23,159
- which means that he pretty much
- made all this happen.
- 1196
- 01:09:25,911 --> 01:09:28,205
- It's sold-out, which is great for us.
- 1197
- 01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:31,709
- It's the first time that WEC has come
- here, so the fans are very excited.
- 1198
- 01:09:31,792 --> 01:09:34,837
- They haven't seen
- these types of cars ever, basically,
- 1199
- 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,506
- and Ricardo has put in a lot of work.
- 1200
- 01:09:38,090 --> 01:09:39,383
- He's building a university,
- 1201
- 01:09:39,967 --> 01:09:42,761
- he's a team owner,
- he runs an insurance company,
- 1202
- 01:09:42,845 --> 01:09:46,432
- and now he is planning an event
- for 45,000 people.
- 1203
- 01:09:47,224 --> 01:09:48,684
- I don't know how he does it.
- 1204
- 01:09:51,228 --> 01:09:54,398
- We've had a hell of a year,
- but we would love to win here.
- 1205
- 01:09:54,481 --> 01:09:57,735
- This is the birthplace of tequila
- and the birthplace of Patrón.
- 1206
- 01:09:57,818 --> 01:10:02,364
- It makes it extra special because I've got
- 600 employees coming to watch.
- 1207
- 01:10:02,448 --> 01:10:04,825
- For them to come here
- and have some cocktails,
- 1208
- 01:10:04,909 --> 01:10:06,827
- it's going to be a day they won't forget.
- 1209
- 01:10:12,666 --> 01:10:15,252
- Bringing the race to Mexico
- has been a big challenge,
- 1210
- 01:10:15,336 --> 01:10:17,504
- because it's the first time I've done it.
- 1211
- 01:10:17,588 --> 01:10:21,342
- I don't think the promoting
- has taken away the fun part of racing.
- 1212
- 01:10:21,926 --> 01:10:24,720
- I just had very little sleep
- 1213
- 01:10:24,803 --> 01:10:27,890
- the last three or four weeks.
- 1214
- 01:10:27,973 --> 01:10:32,019
- So I'm ready to start changing my hat
- into the driver hat.
- 1215
- 01:10:32,102 --> 01:10:35,356
- I think people are pretty impressed
- with what we have done,
- 1216
- 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:40,611
- and this is helping me a lot
- to forget my promoter duties.
- 1217
- 01:10:41,862 --> 01:10:44,323
- Ricardo, expecting a huge crowd...
- 1218
- 01:10:44,406 --> 01:10:46,951
- The numbers sound really,
- really enthusiastic.
- 1219
- 01:10:47,034 --> 01:10:50,371
- How is that going to lift your team,
- carrying the Mexican flag?
- 1220
- 01:10:50,829 --> 01:10:52,539
- It's going to be pressure.
- 1221
- 01:10:52,623 --> 01:10:55,376
- Yeah, we're expecting to have
- the track completely full,
- 1222
- 01:10:56,001 --> 01:10:58,671
- so it's going to be nice
- to see the start of the race.
- 1223
- 01:10:58,754 --> 01:11:00,965
- I know how Mexicans go wild,
- 1224
- 01:11:01,048 --> 01:11:03,759
- so we're going to enjoy that.
- 1225
- 01:11:06,762 --> 01:11:11,308
- It's Round 5 of the 2016
- FIA World Endurance Championship,
- 1226
- 01:11:11,392 --> 01:11:14,520
- and we're at a brand-new venue -
- it's Mexico City.
- 1227
- 01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:19,525
- And the man that we have to thank for
- bringing us to this cathedral of speed -
- 1228
- 01:11:19,608 --> 01:11:21,318
- we knew him last year as a driver,
- 1229
- 01:11:21,402 --> 01:11:24,655
- now he owns his own team
- and he's the promoter of the race -
- 1230
- 01:11:24,738 --> 01:11:26,991
- Ricardo Gonzalez is a busy man.
- 1231
- 01:11:29,743 --> 01:11:31,245
- It's a brand-new venue.
- 1232
- 01:11:31,328 --> 01:11:33,831
- I'm excited. The crowd's excited.
- 1233
- 01:11:33,914 --> 01:11:35,916
- I think the drivers are excited as well.
- 1234
- 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,961
- It's time to go racing in Mexico City.
- 1235
- 01:11:39,044 --> 01:11:42,548
- At altitude, this will be the fastest run
- down to the first corner
- 1236
- 01:11:42,631 --> 01:11:44,300
- in the World Championship.
- 1237
- 01:11:44,383 --> 01:11:47,011
- The Audis side-by-side,
- then the two Porsches.
- 1238
- 01:11:47,094 --> 01:11:50,014
- Look at the CLM
- with the yellow wings coming through.
- 1239
- 01:11:50,097 --> 01:11:53,183
- The privateer cars are very quick.
- He's gone wide!
- 1240
- 01:11:56,228 --> 01:11:59,315
- Bruno Senna has cleared off in LMP2.
- 1241
- 01:12:00,566 --> 01:12:02,943
- OK, Bruno, we're P1 by about 20 seconds.
- 1242
- 01:12:03,027 --> 01:12:04,778
- Let's keep increasing that gap, OK?
- 1243
- 01:12:05,404 --> 01:12:06,405
- OK, copy that.
- 1244
- 01:12:08,365 --> 01:12:11,243
- This is the battle
- for second. Into the stadium section.
- 1245
- 01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:12,202
- Too wide!
- 1246
- 01:12:12,619 --> 01:12:15,122
- René Rast
- goes to second position for G-Drive.
- 1247
- 01:12:17,041 --> 01:12:19,543
- Great battles
- not just at the lead of classes.
- 1248
- 01:12:19,626 --> 01:12:22,796
- This is sixth on down for LMP2.
- 1249
- 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:27,885
- Pipo Derani in that green and black car
- trying to get a little better exit.
- 1250
- 01:12:28,260 --> 01:12:30,846
- Then Minassian. He does... Great move!
- 1251
- 01:12:33,223 --> 01:12:34,725
- On board with Bruno Senna.
- 1252
- 01:12:34,808 --> 01:12:38,228
- He's our cameraman at about 180 mph there.
- 1253
- 01:12:38,312 --> 01:12:40,564
- Senna still leads in LMP2.
- 1254
- 01:12:42,733 --> 01:12:45,027
- A relatively short circuit here in Mexico
- 1255
- 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:48,614
- means that traffic management
- is always going to be an issue.
- 1256
- 01:12:50,908 --> 01:12:54,036
- All the drivers
- have had to really concentrate.
- 1257
- 01:12:54,119 --> 01:12:56,080
- Hasn't been an awful lot of track time.
- 1258
- 01:12:56,538 --> 01:12:58,374
- None of them have raced here before.
- 1259
- 01:12:59,083 --> 01:13:01,627
- Good stint for Bruno Senna.
- He's out of the car.
- 1260
- 01:13:02,127 --> 01:13:05,506
- The third driver is the man
- who owns the team, Ricardo Gonzalez.
- 1261
- 01:13:07,424 --> 01:13:11,553
- Two blue lights at the side
- of the #43 RGR racing car.
- 1262
- 01:13:12,012 --> 01:13:14,556
- That means he's in second.
- That's the leader ahead.
- 1263
- 01:13:15,015 --> 01:13:16,392
- Gonzalez chasing him down.
- 1264
- 01:13:16,475 --> 01:13:20,229
- This could be another great story
- for the Mexican team on home ground.
- 1265
- 01:13:23,732 --> 01:13:26,443
- OK, Ricky, that's Rusinov
- up ahead of you, so be careful.
- 1266
- 01:13:26,527 --> 01:13:27,820
- He can get aggressive.
- 1267
- 01:13:31,031 --> 01:13:35,577
- Gonzalez and Rusinov
- together coming into the chicane area.
- 1268
- 01:13:36,495 --> 01:13:37,871
- There was a touch there.
- 1269
- 01:13:37,955 --> 01:13:40,332
- Rusinov spins the Mexican!
- 1270
- 01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:42,042
- And Gonzalez is in trouble now.
- 1271
- 01:13:42,126 --> 01:13:44,753
- He's not facing the right direction.
- Not enough room.
- 1272
- 01:13:44,837 --> 01:13:47,923
- He's going to have to find reverse.
- Stay calm.
- 1273
- 01:13:49,550 --> 01:13:51,385
- Need to be talking to him on the radio.
- 1274
- 01:13:51,468 --> 01:13:55,180
- Almost reverses out
- into the Dempsey-Proton Porsche!
- 1275
- 01:13:55,264 --> 01:13:56,723
- That could have been disaster!
- 1276
- 01:13:58,183 --> 01:14:01,311
- Well, Ricardo Gonzalez
- has got the car back on the track.
- 1277
- 01:14:02,896 --> 01:14:06,567
- OK, just stay calm. Just stay calm.
- Let's get back up to speed, OK?
- 1278
- 01:14:08,944 --> 01:14:12,030
- Not sure
- that Filipe Albuquerque, nearest us,
- 1279
- 01:14:12,114 --> 01:14:14,992
- and Bruno Senna,
- who's just behind him - there he is...
- 1280
- 01:14:15,742 --> 01:14:17,494
- Not sure they know if they've...
- 1281
- 01:14:17,578 --> 01:14:21,123
- Well, Filipe thinks they've got a chance
- and Bruno doesn't.
- 1282
- 01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:22,916
- They've checked the car over,
- 1283
- 01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:24,960
- given him some more fuel,
- 1284
- 01:14:25,461 --> 01:14:29,840
- and now he has to try
- and get his pulse rate down
- 1285
- 01:14:29,923 --> 01:14:33,177
- and focus, focus, focus.
- 1286
- 01:14:34,344 --> 01:14:37,806
- Ricky and Rusinov,
- they got in contact.
- 1287
- 01:14:38,307 --> 01:14:40,559
- It's pretty hard to say who was at fault.
- 1288
- 01:14:40,642 --> 01:14:42,978
- Ricardo is very stressed on the radio.
- 1289
- 01:14:43,061 --> 01:14:46,106
- He wants a drive-through for Rusinov.
- Our car is fine.
- 1290
- 01:14:46,190 --> 01:14:50,068
- I don't know if Rusinov is fine,
- because he just went quiet.
- 1291
- 01:14:50,736 --> 01:14:54,031
- It's racing, but we need to keep it cool.
- 1292
- 01:14:57,618 --> 01:15:01,497
- An Aston in the barriers!
- The #98 car, Paul Dalla Lana's gone off!
- 1293
- 01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:03,499
- Yellow flags are out.
- 1294
- 01:15:03,582 --> 01:15:06,668
- Here's another look.
- Coming into the stadium section.
- 1295
- 01:15:06,752 --> 01:15:09,421
- Too much curb on the left-hand side
- by the Ford,
- 1296
- 01:15:09,505 --> 01:15:13,800
- and Paul Dalla Lana is bumped
- unceremoniously off the circuit
- 1297
- 01:15:13,884 --> 01:15:15,552
- and into the barriers.
- 1298
- 01:15:17,429 --> 01:15:19,640
- Let's hope that isn't a repeat of Le Mans.
- 1299
- 01:15:19,723 --> 01:15:24,019
- No, it's not. The car is still running,
- and I think he'll get it out of there.
- 1300
- 01:15:28,357 --> 01:15:29,858
- There's damage to the left-front,
- 1301
- 01:15:29,942 --> 01:15:32,694
- but Paul Dalla Lana will get
- the Aston back to the pits.
- 1302
- 01:15:40,410 --> 01:15:42,955
- We've had to come in
- for some pretty big repairs.
- 1303
- 01:15:43,038 --> 01:15:49,211
- I think we've lost five laps now,
- so a very frustrating way to end up.
- 1304
- 01:15:49,294 --> 01:15:51,713
- We were making our way
- back through the field.
- 1305
- 01:15:51,797 --> 01:15:53,632
- In any event, it's a tight circuit.
- 1306
- 01:15:53,715 --> 01:15:56,510
- We always knew
- there was going to be a chance for this.
- 1307
- 01:15:56,593 --> 01:15:58,845
- Just hoped it wasn't going to be us.
- 1308
- 01:16:05,852 --> 01:16:09,147
- OK, Filipe, we're currently second,
- 30 seconds behind the G-Drive car.
- 1309
- 01:16:09,231 --> 01:16:10,899
- We've got to push. Let's get them.
- 1310
- 01:16:13,819 --> 01:16:15,904
- We're hearing from race control
- 1311
- 01:16:15,988 --> 01:16:19,741
- they are predicting more bad weather
- before the end of the race.
- 1312
- 01:16:20,742 --> 01:16:23,161
- LMP2 leader has just had a problem.
- 1313
- 01:16:23,245 --> 01:16:25,789
- The brake disc has exploded
- on the right-front!
- 1314
- 01:16:26,498 --> 01:16:28,125
- My goodness!
- 1315
- 01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:31,253
- That's extraordinary!
- 1316
- 01:16:31,753 --> 01:16:33,964
- René Rast brings the car
- into the pit lane.
- 1317
- 01:16:34,047 --> 01:16:36,550
- A huge blow to the class leader.
- 1318
- 01:16:36,633 --> 01:16:40,262
- We'll have to see how quickly they can get
- that car back onto the track.
- 1319
- 01:16:40,345 --> 01:16:42,598
- And the crowd on the start-finish line
- 1320
- 01:16:42,681 --> 01:16:45,851
- have realized that this means
- that the local Mexican team
- 1321
- 01:16:45,934 --> 01:16:48,478
- are going to go through and lead the race!
- 1322
- 01:16:50,939 --> 01:16:53,817
- G-Drive had a problem,
- so we're back to first.
- 1323
- 01:16:53,900 --> 01:16:55,819
- Let's do this. Bring it home. Come on.
- 1324
- 01:16:56,528 --> 01:16:57,779
- Shit!
- 1325
- 01:16:57,863 --> 01:16:59,823
- OK, let's keep it tight. Let's go on.
- 1326
- 01:17:03,368 --> 01:17:05,621
- We're in first place. Two minutes left.
- 1327
- 01:17:05,704 --> 01:17:07,998
- It's raining in sections of the track.
- 1328
- 01:17:08,081 --> 01:17:10,208
- A three-second gap,
- 1329
- 01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:12,461
- so it's nerve-wracking right now.
- 1330
- 01:17:15,797 --> 01:17:18,884
- What a story is unfolding here.
- 1331
- 01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:21,803
- The team can barely look,
- 1332
- 01:17:21,887 --> 01:17:23,555
- as we're into the last lap
- 1333
- 01:17:24,181 --> 01:17:26,183
- of the 6 Hours of Mexico.
- 1334
- 01:17:26,767 --> 01:17:29,227
- But you've got to cross the line
- to get it.
- 1335
- 01:17:29,811 --> 01:17:33,607
- You've got a three-second gap.
- Careful, it's really slippery.
- 1336
- 01:17:34,441 --> 01:17:37,027
- Don't worry.
- All under control. Don't worry.
- 1337
- 01:17:39,404 --> 01:17:44,242
- This is one of those moments
- that only happens in endurance racing.
- 1338
- 01:17:44,326 --> 01:17:48,372
- The #43 RGR Racing car put together
- by the man in the middle there,
- 1339
- 01:17:48,455 --> 01:17:50,457
- Ricardo Gonzalez,
- 1340
- 01:17:50,832 --> 01:17:55,128
- an insurance salesman, turned
- racing driver, turned race promoter,
- 1341
- 01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:58,799
- and now turned Mexico race winner!
- 1342
- 01:18:03,011 --> 01:18:04,137
- Come on!
- 1343
- 01:18:06,181 --> 01:18:07,599
- Woo-hoo-hoo!
- 1344
- 01:18:12,187 --> 01:18:15,607
- Filipe Albuquerque
- has found a Mexican flag.
- 1345
- 01:18:15,691 --> 01:18:17,943
- Where did he have that? In the glovebox?
- 1346
- 01:18:28,995 --> 01:18:33,917
- And the celebrations will go on
- long into the Mexican night here.
- 1347
- 01:18:40,424 --> 01:18:44,052
- This is a moment to savor
- for Ricardo Gonzalez.
- 1348
- 01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:48,849
- The gentleman driver
- who has put this team together,
- 1349
- 01:18:48,932 --> 01:18:50,684
- and this race together,
- 1350
- 01:18:50,767 --> 01:18:53,854
- is standing on top of the podium
- in Mexico City tonight.
- 1351
- 01:18:54,938 --> 01:18:57,107
- He is living the dream.
- 1352
- 01:18:58,150 --> 01:18:59,317
- Nice, huh?
- 1353
- 01:19:00,110 --> 01:19:01,403
- Woo!
- 1354
- 01:19:19,212 --> 01:19:22,382
- Mexico! Mexico! Mexico!
- 1355
- 01:21:39,352 --> 01:21:41,062
- You jumped in big this year.
- 1356
- 01:21:41,938 --> 01:21:44,524
- Going from just racing and being on a team
- 1357
- 01:21:44,608 --> 01:21:46,776
- to having your own team,
- 1358
- 01:21:46,860 --> 01:21:48,653
- you know, that's a big jump.
- 1359
- 01:21:49,237 --> 01:21:53,867
- Yeah, but the event took a toll on me,
- physically and time-wise.
- 1360
- 01:21:54,951 --> 01:21:57,996
- You know, we noticed that, because
- you won the race and shit like that.
- 1361
- 01:21:59,122 --> 01:22:00,749
- They feel real bad for you.
