#1739² RACING IS LIFE² – S10 E8 – EVERYDAY LIFE RACE CAR

#1634² RACING IS LIFE² – S10 E1 – PLANS FOR 2024
I am not making a big deal about the fact that a lot of things have changed recently. Life is about adapting to whatever comes our way, not complaining or feeling bad about it. And so, I need a new practice routine. I can’t do the daily simulator practice, not…

#1620² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E16 – SEASON OVER
With the last formula one race, the season is already over. Luckily a new season will start soon. Traditionally the 24h races in the Middle East and the US will kick off the season. I am still somehow following the scene, but honestly that’s most likely it. The plan for…
