Hi ,

It was a short week for me this week as I headed to Watkins Glen for the 6 Hours of the Glen so there was no Business of Motorsport Roundup last week. Despite this there was still some amazing content for you on News Racers Can Use and here was what I covered last week.

The Appeal of Endurance Racing to Young Drivers

The appeal of endurance racing to young drivers is one of the topics covered in last week’s Driver Development Roundup following up on the topic from the previous week. With opportunities in F1 being scarce, a lot of young drivers are pivoting to sportscars and you will find out why. Click here to read the details.

The Week Ahead

The week ahead will feature more updates on driver development programs and advice, sponsorship acquisition, racecraft tips and more. It will also feature an expanded Business of Motorsport Roundup to make up for the lack of one last week. Thanks so much for reading!

The Last Lap

Billionaire real estate mogul Luc Poirier opens up to Maxim about his jaw-dropping assemblage of Italian supercars. "At the moment I own over 50 vehicles, including cars and motorcycles. In this collection I have Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Porsches, Ducatis and a few other unique cars like the BMW Isetta, Mercedes Unimog and two Amphicar 770s from the 1960s. But mostly half of my collection are Ferraris, the brand I like most."

Enjoy,
