00:00:15,367 --> 00:00:19,390
It is now
allowed to start the engines.
5
00:00:19,392 --> 00:00:22,267
One minute now, you
can turn on the engine.
6
00:00:23,337 --> 00:00:26,434
The time for waiting is over.
7
00:00:26,436 --> 00:00:29,510
The time for racing has arrived.
8
00:00:29,512 --> 00:00:30,673
Green, Green, Green.
9
00:00:30,675 --> 00:00:32,703
Mike Conway
in the number #7 Toyota,
10
00:00:32,705 --> 00:00:35,983
sweeping around to lead the
field down the Dunlop here
11
00:00:35,985 --> 00:00:36,834
for the first time.
12
00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:39,213
Gustavo Menezes right behind
from fourth on the grid
13
00:00:39,215 --> 00:00:42,778
in the brightly colored
car from Rebellion.
14
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:44,222
You are one
of the quickest cars,
15
00:00:44,224 --> 00:00:47,040
on the sector 1 on track at the moment.
16
00:00:49,007 --> 00:00:51,753
Box and driver change.
17
00:00:51,755 --> 00:00:53,353
First round of pit stops,
18
00:00:53,355 --> 00:00:57,198
and almost the entire
field in in from GTE Pro.
19
00:00:59,714 --> 00:01:03,773
92' Porsche that won last
year in it's pinky pig is in.
20
00:01:03,775 --> 00:01:07,783
Ferrari in as well with
both AF Porsche cars.
21
00:01:07,785 --> 00:01:09,323
Driver change.
22
00:01:12,515 --> 00:01:14,593
Battle in LMP2 and he goes by.
23
00:01:14,595 --> 00:01:17,003
So much top speed here at Le Mans.
24
00:01:17,005 --> 00:01:20,523
On that one lap we lose
two percent of performance.
25
00:01:20,525 --> 00:01:23,808
4 lap to the next one Bruno.
26
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:25,233
Bruno brought the car in,
27
00:01:25,235 --> 00:01:28,103
a little bit early on his stint.
28
00:01:28,105 --> 00:01:31,213
Oh, that's out.
That car is out Porsche curves.
29
00:01:31,215 --> 00:01:34,751
Attention debris
early part of Porsche curves.
30
00:01:34,753 --> 00:01:38,268
It's just the 88 cars
having a, it's struggle.
31
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:42,931
In about 16 seconds
we will go full course yellow
32
00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:47,933
Seven, six,
five, four, three, two, one.
33
00:01:48,715 --> 00:01:51,073
Full course yellow, full course yellow.
34
00:02:01,345 --> 00:02:04,633
I'm Scott Dixon
originally from New Zealand,
35
00:02:04,635 --> 00:02:08,273
racing in America, also in the
World Endurance Championship,
36
00:02:08,275 --> 00:02:09,313
24 hour Le Mans.
37
00:02:09,315 --> 00:02:11,053
So Indycar season this year,
38
00:02:11,055 --> 00:02:14,869
and endurance races for
the Ford GT program.
39
00:02:20,793 --> 00:02:21,624
My name is Bruno Senna
40
00:02:21,626 --> 00:02:23,190
I am a professional driver
41
00:02:23,192 --> 00:02:26,648
Competing with Rebellion Racing
at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,791
Hi, I'm Memo Rojas
43
00:02:29,793 --> 00:02:32,116
I am competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
44
00:02:32,118 --> 00:02:33,770
For IDEC Sport Racing
45
00:02:41,452 --> 00:02:42,666
My name is Jules Gounon
46
00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:43,499
I am a professional driver
47
00:02:43,501 --> 00:02:45,406
And I am going to take part
at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
48
00:02:45,408 --> 00:02:47,043
For the really first time.
49
00:02:47,045 --> 00:02:48,683
To be for the first time in the parade,
50
00:02:48,685 --> 00:02:50,193
with so many people around,
51
00:02:50,195 --> 00:02:52,183
and the town which is really busy,
52
00:02:52,185 --> 00:02:54,435
you can really feel the
atmosphere of Le Mans.
53
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:05,594
Le Mans is a,
54
00:03:05,596 --> 00:03:07,713
you know it's a special race
that everybody wants to win.
55
00:03:07,715 --> 00:03:10,165
It's one of the three
biggest races in the world.
56
00:03:11,275 --> 00:03:13,013
There's very few events around the world
57
00:03:13,015 --> 00:03:15,423
that have that status.
58
00:03:15,425 --> 00:03:17,813
The atmosphere is insane.
59
00:03:17,815 --> 00:03:20,283
I think for when you're performing at such
60
00:03:20,285 --> 00:03:21,353
at an event like that,
61
00:03:21,355 --> 00:03:23,808
it just makes you feel so good.
62
00:03:54,875 --> 00:03:58,708
Ayrton was my uncle first,
you know, a family member.
63
00:03:59,625 --> 00:04:03,483
Ayrton was also, you know,
my example, my reference,
64
00:04:03,485 --> 00:04:06,103
because I really looked
at everything he did,
65
00:04:06,105 --> 00:04:07,523
and I always tried to self learn
66
00:04:07,525 --> 00:04:09,548
and to see how he did it.
67
00:04:12,145 --> 00:04:15,093
Ayrton Senna was a
Brazilian race car driver,
68
00:04:15,095 --> 00:04:18,363
definitely one of most
accomplished drivers of his time.
69
00:04:18,365 --> 00:04:21,773
Any race car drivers dream
would be to meet Ayrton Senna.
70
00:04:21,775 --> 00:04:25,483
I mean, it would be, I mean, bucket list,
71
00:04:25,485 --> 00:04:26,473
if you're possible.
72
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:29,603
And of course, Bruno, being
his nephew, had the ability
73
00:04:29,605 --> 00:04:32,544
to actually receive
coaching from Ayrton Senna.
74
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:49,483
For me it was really the
way that he was able to
75
00:04:49,485 --> 00:04:51,123
teach without really trying to teach.
76
00:04:51,125 --> 00:04:54,268
You know, he was just so natural at like,
77
00:04:55,245 --> 00:04:58,180
I guess transmitting
his values and the way
78
00:04:58,182 --> 00:04:59,503
and his way of life,
79
00:04:59,505 --> 00:05:01,933
that he didn't need to
be like a boring teacher
80
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:03,633
trying to tell you do
this, do this, do this.
81
00:05:03,635 --> 00:05:07,003
He would just kind of come and
show you what he was doing,
82
00:05:07,005 --> 00:05:10,143
and you'd go and you try it and you know,
83
00:05:10,145 --> 00:05:12,513
he would really try to
make it a practical thing
84
00:05:12,515 --> 00:05:14,389
rather than just a lecture.
85
00:05:21,135 --> 00:05:24,393
And this was, this was a
great thing because really,
86
00:05:24,395 --> 00:05:26,093
as a kid you want to do things.
87
00:05:26,095 --> 00:05:28,473
So you want to just
experiment and experience.
88
00:05:28,475 --> 00:05:30,048
And I think he nailed it.
89
00:05:39,955 --> 00:05:41,323
It's a dream come true.
90
00:05:41,325 --> 00:05:43,203
You couldn't learn from
a better instructor.
91
00:05:43,205 --> 00:05:44,883
I mean, Ayrton knew everything
92
00:05:44,885 --> 00:05:47,203
there was to know about racing.
93
00:05:47,205 --> 00:05:50,140
Ayrton Senna was dominating
in the 80s for sure.
94
00:05:50,142 --> 00:05:52,203
He was well known in the formula one world
95
00:05:52,205 --> 00:05:53,618
and racing in general.
96
00:05:54,475 --> 00:05:59,007
But on May 1st, 1994, Ayrton
has a horrific accident.
97
00:06:07,055 --> 00:06:08,093
As soon as that happened,
98
00:06:08,095 --> 00:06:11,323
the subject and the motor
racing became a bit of a taboo
99
00:06:11,325 --> 00:06:12,455
subject at home.
100
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:29,772
From my perspective,
Le Mans means a race
101
00:06:31,145 --> 00:06:35,963
that is, you know, one of the
three or four largest races
102
00:06:35,965 --> 00:06:36,848
in the world.
103
00:06:40,155 --> 00:06:43,623
To me, it's a race that
goes back to the beginnings
104
00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:44,943
of motorsport,
105
00:06:44,945 --> 00:06:49,173
where it pits manufacturer
against manufacturer,
106
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:50,808
proving who has the best car.
107
00:06:52,555 --> 00:06:55,333
Scott Dixon's a driver that came to us,
108
00:06:55,335 --> 00:06:59,703
you know, at the, at the wise
age of 22-years-old I think.
109
00:06:59,705 --> 00:07:02,303
He's the leader of our team.
110
00:07:02,305 --> 00:07:05,623
It was just a natural
progression to put him
111
00:07:05,625 --> 00:07:08,713
in the sports car team and
as part of the Ford program.
112
00:07:08,715 --> 00:07:12,423
Competition just drives me
and I think most of the others,
113
00:07:12,425 --> 00:07:13,863
and the adrenaline,
114
00:07:13,865 --> 00:07:16,693
what you feel and what you get out of it,
115
00:07:16,695 --> 00:07:19,270
the sensors and how
they become enlightened.
116
00:07:24,105 --> 00:07:27,813
I will never forget that
day as a seven-year-old kid
117
00:07:27,815 --> 00:07:31,383
getting into a go cart and
being so low to the ground
118
00:07:31,385 --> 00:07:33,333
and feeling just that adrenaline rush.
119
00:07:33,335 --> 00:07:37,433
And how amazing it was at such
a young age to be able to,
120
00:07:37,435 --> 00:07:39,884
you know, drive this powerful
thing around, you know even,
121
00:07:39,886 --> 00:07:41,343
you know, it was only a little go cart.
122
00:07:41,345 --> 00:07:43,226
I started racing, go
carts at the age of seven
123
00:07:43,228 --> 00:07:46,883
and just, you know, tried
to hang on to that dream
124
00:07:46,885 --> 00:07:49,908
ever since of being able
to drive things fast.
125
00:07:52,655 --> 00:07:54,883
I moved initially to Australia by myself
126
00:07:54,885 --> 00:07:56,203
at the age of 16.
127
00:07:56,205 --> 00:07:58,093
I lived in Melbourne for two years,
128
00:07:58,095 --> 00:08:02,713
and then you know that
transitions to America, I was 18.
129
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:04,233
For me, it was all about, you know,
130
00:08:04,235 --> 00:08:07,453
trying to win and to get to
that next bigger category
131
00:08:07,455 --> 00:08:08,448
or bigger car.
132
00:08:10,515 --> 00:08:12,573
But it was all about the dream,
it was all about the dream.
133
00:08:12,575 --> 00:08:13,406
You know, as I was,
134
00:08:13,408 --> 00:08:16,397
when I was a kid who was
getting formula one, and then,
135
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:19,223
you know, on the southern it was IndyCar.
136
00:08:19,225 --> 00:08:21,333
And once I saw my first IndyCar race,
137
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:24,813
just the passion I had for
IndyCar racing and how close
138
00:08:24,815 --> 00:08:26,553
and competitive and, you know,
139
00:08:26,555 --> 00:08:28,043
just for anybody in the field could win,
140
00:08:28,045 --> 00:08:30,429
you know, that really fascinated me.
141
00:08:30,431 --> 00:08:31,262
But it's kind of scary.
142
00:08:31,264 --> 00:08:33,893
I think thinking of my own
children at that point,
143
00:08:33,895 --> 00:08:35,973
you know, maybe traveling
halfway around the world
144
00:08:35,975 --> 00:08:39,858
and being on their own and
maybe in that same situation.
145
00:08:43,527 --> 00:08:46,563
Tilly, Tilly what song is this one?
146
00:08:57,996 --> 00:09:00,130
♪ We're off to see the wizard ♪
147
00:09:00,132 --> 00:09:02,394
♪ The wizard, the wizard of oz ♪
148
00:09:02,396 --> 00:09:06,229
♪ We're off to see the wizard ♪
149
00:09:10,825 --> 00:09:12,483
We do do something very dangerous.
150
00:09:12,485 --> 00:09:14,143
You know, it says it right
on the back of the ticket
151
00:09:14,145 --> 00:09:16,248
that, you know, bad things can happen.
152
00:09:18,255 --> 00:09:20,813
He has the track record in that IndyCar
153
00:09:20,815 --> 00:09:23,663
of exceeding 232 miles an hour.
154
00:09:23,665 --> 00:09:24,863
Incredible.
155
00:09:24,865 --> 00:09:27,463
And of course at the same time,
156
00:09:27,465 --> 00:09:30,253
he has a family at home
and bad things can happen
157
00:09:30,255 --> 00:09:31,853
at 232 miles an hour.
158
00:09:31,855 --> 00:09:33,833
You know we're quite spiritual people.
159
00:09:33,835 --> 00:09:37,393
So we're very much like you
know what will be will be.
160
00:09:37,395 --> 00:09:40,143
And if you focus too
much on that negativity,
161
00:09:40,145 --> 00:09:42,088
it can play a part in how you race.
162
00:10:01,361 --> 00:10:03,163
An un-believable atmosphere.
163
00:10:03,165 --> 00:10:07,963
A sea of faces, of smiles
of hopes and dreams,
164
00:10:07,965 --> 00:10:12,462
awaiting the start of the
toughest test in motor racing.
165
00:10:24,485 --> 00:10:27,468
Throughout the years, the
cars have a evolved so much.
166
00:10:28,851 --> 00:10:31,133
They are faster, they have more down-force
167
00:10:31,135 --> 00:10:36,135
the technology has pushed
the boundaries of the cars,
168
00:10:36,525 --> 00:10:38,183
and also the drivers.
169
00:10:38,185 --> 00:10:42,393
Every time a car goes faster
it generates more G-forces,
170
00:10:42,395 --> 00:10:45,103
lateral forces that have
an impact on the body.
171
00:10:45,105 --> 00:10:48,483
Driving a car at the limit for
such a long period of time.
172
00:10:48,485 --> 00:10:52,573
It raises your heart rate
for a long period of time.
173
00:10:52,575 --> 00:10:56,263
It's an average of 150
to 160 beats per minute,
174
00:10:56,265 --> 00:10:58,528
and you need to be very strong physically.
175
00:11:05,535 --> 00:11:07,193
You know, like anything these days,
176
00:11:07,195 --> 00:11:09,335
it's all about preparation.
177
00:11:09,337 --> 00:11:11,473
You know and I think
you can't go in blind.
178
00:11:11,475 --> 00:11:13,523
I do, what I call I do the homework.
179
00:11:13,525 --> 00:11:15,833
You know, doing the homework is, you know,
180
00:11:15,835 --> 00:11:19,033
doing what you need to
do in order to get an A
181
00:11:19,035 --> 00:11:20,667
on the following day.
182
00:11:20,669 --> 00:11:24,173
I really love to go on the
bike cause you can really push
183
00:11:24,175 --> 00:11:26,075
yourself to the limit.
184
00:11:26,077 --> 00:11:28,013
Because you are the
only limit on the bike.
185
00:11:28,015 --> 00:11:29,368
A bit like in the race car.
186
00:11:31,185 --> 00:11:33,173
In my case I practice
a lot of boxing for this
187
00:11:33,175 --> 00:11:34,873
because the position of boxing,
188
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:36,673
it's almost the same as the race car.
189
00:11:36,675 --> 00:11:39,103
You know, you're holding
the steering wheel like this
190
00:11:39,105 --> 00:11:41,273
and the guard for boxing is like this,
191
00:11:41,275 --> 00:11:43,477
and you're using the same muscles.
192
00:11:56,305 --> 00:12:00,543
People see the race car
driver in the podium.
193
00:12:00,545 --> 00:12:04,623
You know, behind the wheel
racing with the helmet.
194
00:12:04,625 --> 00:12:06,453
And people from the outside you know
195
00:12:06,455 --> 00:12:08,363
they look at it as a, you know,
196
00:12:08,365 --> 00:12:11,613
can be maybe a very glamorous position or,
197
00:12:11,615 --> 00:12:13,673
or a very exciting position.
198
00:12:13,675 --> 00:12:18,675
But the reality is that the
sacrifice and the time consuming
199
00:12:19,365 --> 00:12:23,540
and the, all the requirements that
200
00:12:23,542 --> 00:12:25,163
and energy that you need to put
201
00:12:25,165 --> 00:12:28,378
in order to become a race
car driver, it's enormous.
202
00:12:29,705 --> 00:12:33,783
As a driver, you have
to be motivated to win.
203
00:12:33,785 --> 00:12:37,203
You know, this sport
we're in is not called
204
00:12:37,205 --> 00:12:40,883
the 24 hours of Le Mans drive.
205
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:44,093
It's called the 24 hours of Le Mans race.
206
00:12:44,095 --> 00:12:45,813
You have to want to win.
207
00:12:45,815 --> 00:12:47,263
To win, you have to be at the front.
208
00:12:47,265 --> 00:12:50,388
To be at the front, oftentimes
you have to pass cars.
209
00:12:51,315 --> 00:12:54,193
And, so you need to be
motivated to do that.
210
00:12:54,195 --> 00:12:57,463
No one's gonna hand it to you on a plate.
211
00:12:57,465 --> 00:12:58,798
You have to go take it.
212
00:13:00,611 --> 00:13:02,523
I train really hard all the winter,
213
00:13:02,525 --> 00:13:04,873
in just one target.
214
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,072
One goal was to be ready at Le Mans.
215
00:13:15,665 --> 00:13:17,053
And when you're in the car
216
00:13:17,055 --> 00:13:19,783
and Mr Risi asks you to do a third stint
217
00:13:19,785 --> 00:13:21,433
and you see that you are able to do it.
218
00:13:21,435 --> 00:13:24,655
You're like, okay, I have trained
hard, but I know for what.
219
00:13:31,985 --> 00:13:34,503
To be able to do the 24
hour of Le Mans in 2019,
220
00:13:34,505 --> 00:13:36,493
it was something that
I never thought about.
221
00:13:36,495 --> 00:13:38,483
Because obviously inside myself,
222
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,993
I was always thinking about it.
223
00:13:40,995 --> 00:13:42,053
But I was so far from it.
224
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:46,133
You know in 2014, I had a
sickness on my legs on both legs.
225
00:13:46,135 --> 00:13:46,966
I had a surgery,
226
00:13:46,968 --> 00:13:49,559
I lost the sponsorship
for the formula Renault.
227
00:13:59,575 --> 00:14:01,963
Jules disease was compartment syndrome.
228
00:14:01,965 --> 00:14:06,965
It involves the muscles, and
they're swelling to a point
229
00:14:07,645 --> 00:14:09,123
that they actually cut off blood flow
230
00:14:09,125 --> 00:14:10,833
and nutrition and oxygen.
231
00:14:10,835 --> 00:14:13,873
And it often happens to legs and arms
232
00:14:13,875 --> 00:14:15,153
and kind of extremities.
233
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:20,155
And he pretty much lost
all use of his legs.
234
00:14:20,435 --> 00:14:24,053
So that was that time
that my father said, okay.
235
00:14:24,055 --> 00:14:27,763
I mean, I give you the chance
as I ask him in go cart,
236
00:14:27,765 --> 00:14:29,543
you tried, it didn't work.
237
00:14:29,545 --> 00:14:32,553
You come back in the dealership
in Aubenas washing cars.
238
00:14:32,555 --> 00:14:35,773
And when you are complaining
every day about understeer
239
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:38,383
oversteer and that you're
coming to wash cars,
240
00:14:38,385 --> 00:14:41,473
and that your hand are
burned by the product.
241
00:14:41,475 --> 00:14:44,765
I wanted to show to
him that the real life
242
00:14:45,747 --> 00:14:48,383
for anybody which is working today.
243
00:14:48,385 --> 00:14:50,153
You can be a washer off cars,
244
00:14:50,155 --> 00:14:52,818
you can be a mechanic in my dealership.
245
00:14:53,965 --> 00:14:56,603
Obviously I didn't have
so much problem in life,
246
00:14:56,605 --> 00:14:58,423
'cause understeer and
the overseer is something
247
00:14:58,425 --> 00:15:00,283
that people would dream about.
248
00:15:00,285 --> 00:15:01,663
When anything happens to an athlete,
249
00:15:01,665 --> 00:15:03,913
it's very difficult for that athlete.
250
00:15:03,915 --> 00:15:06,393
It's a totally life changing event.
251
00:15:06,395 --> 00:15:07,653
And to a race car driver,
252
00:15:07,655 --> 00:15:09,805
I mean, there's nothing
like driving a car.
253
00:15:23,415 --> 00:15:25,013
Into hour two
254
00:15:25,015 --> 00:15:27,602
of this year's 24 hours of Le Mans.
255
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:32,243
Trouble for Bruno Senna in the Rebellion.
256
00:15:32,245 --> 00:15:36,403
A looping spin, just avoids the barriers.
257
00:15:36,405 --> 00:15:37,916
Yeah, it's a very complex situation,
258
00:15:37,918 --> 00:15:41,483
when you have any tires
breaking or anything,
259
00:15:41,485 --> 00:15:43,113
any kind of failure in the car.
260
00:15:43,115 --> 00:15:45,103
Especially in Le Mans,
because the track is so long,
261
00:15:45,105 --> 00:15:47,823
you have to re-nurse the
car back to the pits.
262
00:15:47,825 --> 00:15:49,103
Back into the pit box
263
00:15:49,105 --> 00:15:51,423
goes the Rebellion number one car.
264
00:15:51,425 --> 00:15:53,153
Sixth place in the LMP-1 class.
265
00:15:53,155 --> 00:15:57,358
Andre Lotterer is strapped in
as they continue with repairs.
266
00:16:01,305 --> 00:16:04,583
When I became 18 years old,
267
00:16:04,585 --> 00:16:05,693
my mother came to me and asked me
268
00:16:05,695 --> 00:16:06,773
what I wanted to do with my life,
269
00:16:06,775 --> 00:16:09,813
and I said, yeah, I'd like
to maybe go back to racing.
270
00:16:09,815 --> 00:16:12,003
She's like this guys a kid.
271
00:16:12,005 --> 00:16:15,293
You know he's 18-years-old,
he's a boy racer.
272
00:16:15,295 --> 00:16:17,154
Go get the go cart from the farm,
273
00:16:17,156 --> 00:16:19,483
like one of the old ones
and see what happens.
274
00:16:19,485 --> 00:16:21,185
And that's when it all kicked off.
275
00:16:36,685 --> 00:16:39,713
Can anything stop you from
becoming a race car driver?
276
00:16:39,715 --> 00:16:43,643
If you truly want to be one,
no, nothing can stop you.
277
00:16:43,645 --> 00:16:44,993
You will race anything.
278
00:16:44,995 --> 00:16:46,633
You'll race, go cart on the weekends,
279
00:16:46,635 --> 00:16:48,273
a shopping cart in the driveway.
280
00:16:48,275 --> 00:16:50,203
I mean anything you'll race it,
281
00:16:50,205 --> 00:16:51,783
and then it'll snowball into
282
00:16:51,785 --> 00:16:54,003
back into racing without a doubt.
283
00:16:54,005 --> 00:16:55,713
It's such a strong thing that wants,
284
00:16:55,715 --> 00:16:58,353
that you need to go racing.
285
00:16:58,355 --> 00:17:03,053
Obviously you know
everybody wants to allow
286
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:06,443
each one of us to become
what we are and, you know,
287
00:17:06,445 --> 00:17:09,372
be successful in whatever we decide to be.
288
00:17:09,374 --> 00:17:12,383
And, you know, follow your dreams.
289
00:17:12,385 --> 00:17:13,653
We know at the same time
290
00:17:13,655 --> 00:17:17,033
that motor racing is very dangerous,
291
00:17:17,035 --> 00:17:19,598
and we lost Ayrton some years before.
292
00:17:21,176 --> 00:17:22,933
I was at home with my family,
293
00:17:22,935 --> 00:17:25,993
we were watching the race in Sao Paolo,
294
00:17:25,995 --> 00:17:29,578
and we saw the accident on TV.
295
00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,203
We've seen him crashing before,
296
00:17:31,205 --> 00:17:34,083
so it was not something
that you necessarily
297
00:17:34,085 --> 00:17:34,916
think is going to be bad,
298
00:17:34,918 --> 00:17:37,015
but that one looked pretty bad to be fair.
299
00:17:39,665 --> 00:17:41,003
The whole family was watching it.
300
00:17:41,005 --> 00:17:43,193
I mean, it was on TV, it was televised.
301
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,493
And every racetrack,
whenever there's a crash,
302
00:17:45,495 --> 00:17:46,326
the TV zooms in it.
303
00:17:46,328 --> 00:17:49,458
And so when it's a horrible
outcome, like it was,
304
00:17:50,355 --> 00:17:52,583
it's out there and everyone's watching it.
305
00:17:52,585 --> 00:17:53,713
They're glued to their TVs.
306
00:17:53,715 --> 00:17:55,018
They're helpless.
307
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:55,919
They can't do anything.
308
00:17:55,921 --> 00:17:57,338
So Bruno was one of those people.
309
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:00,403
As soon as that happened,
310
00:18:00,405 --> 00:18:03,653
motor racing became a bit
of a taboo subject at home.
311
00:18:03,655 --> 00:18:06,392
And it was quite tricky to, you know,
312
00:18:07,815 --> 00:18:09,873
to just to approach the subject.
313
00:18:09,875 --> 00:18:12,403
So for many years we
couldn't say anything.
314
00:18:12,405 --> 00:18:13,703
And I guess,
315
00:18:13,705 --> 00:18:17,213
because I didn't say anything,
I felt bad of course.
316
00:18:17,215 --> 00:18:20,008
My family's supposed that
I was completely over it.
317
00:18:21,584 --> 00:18:23,203
It was a big impact in the family,
318
00:18:23,205 --> 00:18:26,013
because what would be the best choice,
319
00:18:26,015 --> 00:18:28,685
you know, to let him
go or not to let him go
320
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:30,668
because of that so.
321
00:18:32,005 --> 00:18:35,758
All drivers clearly
understand the danger,
322
00:18:36,995 --> 00:18:38,958
and they respect the danger.
323
00:18:40,685 --> 00:18:44,993
You can understand something,
you can respect something,
324
00:18:44,995 --> 00:18:47,783
but you can also push it on the side.
325
00:18:47,785 --> 00:18:52,483
But I think to completely
push it on the side,
326
00:18:52,485 --> 00:18:55,398
you have to know all sides of it.
327
00:18:56,515 --> 00:18:57,818
And I think that's what,
328
00:18:59,165 --> 00:19:01,563
that's what the great racing
drivers are able to do.
329
00:19:01,565 --> 00:19:03,788
They understand all sides of the danger,
330
00:19:04,955 --> 00:19:06,805
and therefore they can push it aside.
331
00:19:39,937 --> 00:19:42,223
At the end of the day, you know,
332
00:19:42,225 --> 00:19:45,323
the passion and it's difficult
to explain the passion
333
00:19:45,325 --> 00:19:46,793
until you live it.
334
00:19:46,795 --> 00:19:48,763
The passion for motor sports,
335
00:19:48,765 --> 00:19:50,840
I would say it's in the blood.
336
00:19:50,842 --> 00:19:52,453
Oh, I wish I could say that.
337
00:19:52,455 --> 00:19:54,393
It's a genetic thing,
I don't know if it is.
338
00:19:54,395 --> 00:19:56,373
But maybe it could be nurture,
339
00:19:56,375 --> 00:19:57,206
maybe it could be nature.
340
00:19:57,208 --> 00:19:59,732
Who knows what's the reality.
341
00:19:59,734 --> 00:20:02,783
But in the end, it was because
I just wanted to go racing.
342
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:03,678
I loved it.
343
00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:06,703
Of course the family side was difficult.
344
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,113
But I knew that with time,
345
00:20:08,115 --> 00:20:11,245
if everything was going well,
people would understand it.
346
00:20:27,145 --> 00:20:30,868
When I was a kid, you
know, my dad was my hero.
347
00:20:32,055 --> 00:20:35,550
I remember when he would
dress up with a racing suit,
348
00:20:35,552 --> 00:20:38,083
as a race car driver.
349
00:20:38,085 --> 00:20:40,908
It was for me like a Superman putting his,
350
00:20:41,788 --> 00:20:42,953
his costume you know.
351
00:20:42,955 --> 00:20:46,453
Most most of my memories
since I was a child,
352
00:20:46,455 --> 00:20:49,243
were with my father at the racetrack.
353
00:20:49,245 --> 00:20:51,343
With my brother, we would typically,
354
00:20:51,345 --> 00:20:53,705
you know, play football or soccer
355
00:20:54,575 --> 00:20:58,503
behind the paddock
while my dad was racing.
356
00:20:58,505 --> 00:21:02,173
If I hadn't seen my dad
race when I was a kid,
357
00:21:02,175 --> 00:21:04,193
I am not sure if I would
have been a race car driver.
358
00:21:04,195 --> 00:21:06,073
You know, I fell in love with the sport
359
00:21:06,075 --> 00:21:07,903
because I was exposed to it.
360
00:21:07,905 --> 00:21:11,663
Family, I think is how most, you know,
361
00:21:11,665 --> 00:21:12,943
drivers start in racing.
362
00:21:12,945 --> 00:21:15,033
You know, it's not a typical ball
363
00:21:15,035 --> 00:21:17,433
and bats kind of sport.
364
00:21:17,435 --> 00:21:19,853
You know, you can't just
go and play it at school.
365
00:21:19,855 --> 00:21:23,133
I grew up listening to
stories of my dad in Le Mans,
366
00:21:23,135 --> 00:21:25,583
and my dad raced in a time
367
00:21:25,585 --> 00:21:27,450
where they didn't have
the chicanes at Le Mans.
368
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:30,313
So, you know, the straightaway was,
369
00:21:30,315 --> 00:21:32,993
I think it was more than
two kilometers long.
370
00:21:32,995 --> 00:21:35,023
And at that time, you know,
371
00:21:35,025 --> 00:21:37,563
they were achieving speeds closer to,
372
00:21:37,565 --> 00:21:39,838
close to 400 kilometers per hour.
373
00:21:43,775 --> 00:21:45,433
Following my father footsteps you know
374
00:21:45,435 --> 00:21:49,143
has been, you know, quite a challenge,
375
00:21:49,145 --> 00:21:53,173
especially because that
meant trying to achieve
376
00:21:53,175 --> 00:21:55,728
my dream of becoming a race car driver.
377
00:21:59,185 --> 00:22:02,443
I started racing cars
when I was 10-years-old.
378
00:22:02,445 --> 00:22:04,448
I started with the help from my dad.
379
00:22:05,345 --> 00:22:07,653
And we had no sponsorship,
380
00:22:07,655 --> 00:22:09,742
and my dad was my mechanic.
381
00:22:09,744 --> 00:22:12,263
Everything was done
between myself and my dad.
382
00:22:12,265 --> 00:22:17,073
We would have to carry
the go cart to every race.
383
00:22:17,075 --> 00:22:20,263
Racing in Mexico, it was
like really old school
384
00:22:20,265 --> 00:22:21,513
I would say like.
385
00:22:21,515 --> 00:22:24,675
Sometimes if you go off the
truck, you would hit a tree
386
00:22:25,605 --> 00:22:26,436
and not a barrier.
387
00:22:26,438 --> 00:22:28,423
So it was like this.
388
00:22:28,425 --> 00:22:32,263
I remember the first days
we didn't this all technology
389
00:22:32,265 --> 00:22:34,783
and tools and people helping us.
390
00:22:34,785 --> 00:22:39,055
Only, you and me and
somebody else helping us,
391
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:40,224
and our truck.
392
00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:45,543
I've enjoyed the ride.
393
00:22:53,128 --> 00:22:55,523
Le Mans is one of the races,
394
00:22:55,525 --> 00:22:58,103
toughest races in the world.
395
00:22:58,105 --> 00:23:00,815
To have a son racing in Le Mans is like
396
00:23:01,768 --> 00:23:04,552
a continuity of what I started.
397
00:23:04,554 --> 00:23:06,367
Box this lap please Memo.
398
00:23:06,369 --> 00:23:07,698
Box box this time.
399
00:23:09,066 --> 00:23:11,233
Box and driver change.
400
00:23:12,595 --> 00:23:14,493
You know when the race
started we discovered
401
00:23:14,495 --> 00:23:17,553
that we were loosing
10 second per pit stop,
402
00:23:17,555 --> 00:23:21,223
in the refueling of the car.
403
00:23:21,225 --> 00:23:23,367
Two laps to go Memo.
404
00:23:23,369 --> 00:23:25,399
It was a problem that
was not possible to fix
405
00:23:25,401 --> 00:23:29,108
during the race, so we
had to stick with it.
406
00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:32,148
I don't have fuel. I don't have fuel.
407
00:23:32,150 --> 00:23:35,577
Okay are you
moving or are you stopped?
408
00:23:35,579 --> 00:23:38,268
I am moving, I'm near
the box, I barely made it.
409
00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:39,420
What the fuck.
410
00:23:39,422 --> 00:23:41,243
As you know, it's 24 hour race.
411
00:23:41,245 --> 00:23:44,073
You know, there's more than 30 pit stops.
412
00:23:44,075 --> 00:23:46,763
And the team calculated that we ended up
413
00:23:46,765 --> 00:23:50,368
losing close to seven minutes.
414
00:23:52,245 --> 00:23:56,268
You know, we lost any
opportunity to fight for the win.
415
00:23:57,585 --> 00:24:00,223
When you make your
mistake, you cannot fix it.
416
00:24:00,225 --> 00:24:02,983
That's the problem, that's
why it's very frustrating.
417
00:24:02,985 --> 00:24:05,553
It's, you just have to adapt
yourself during the race
418
00:24:05,555 --> 00:24:10,555
and just go to the end and we're
all doing a lot of mistake.
419
00:24:13,055 --> 00:24:15,693
Of course mistakes
can happen at any point.
420
00:24:15,695 --> 00:24:18,783
And they can have huge consequences,
421
00:24:18,785 --> 00:24:22,353
even though it's a little
mistake or a big mistake.
422
00:24:22,355 --> 00:24:24,583
I was fighting for the
championship in 2016,
423
00:24:24,585 --> 00:24:27,033
in German championship, with Corvette.
424
00:24:27,035 --> 00:24:29,493
Last race of the season
P2 in the championship
425
00:24:29,495 --> 00:24:31,033
fighting for the lead.
426
00:24:31,035 --> 00:24:32,823
Let's go
green and let's go racing.
427
00:24:32,825 --> 00:24:34,658
The final race.
428
00:24:35,622 --> 00:24:37,680
And yeah, that's a hard part for me,
429
00:24:37,682 --> 00:24:42,093
'cause I was fighting, I
think 10 minutes to go.
430
00:24:42,095 --> 00:24:44,093
And in the car was fighting
was the Lamborghini,
431
00:24:44,095 --> 00:24:45,383
which had an issue on the speed there.
432
00:24:45,385 --> 00:24:47,733
So I couldn't take flats
on the fast corners
433
00:24:47,735 --> 00:24:49,643
'cause it was losing the downforce.
434
00:24:49,645 --> 00:24:52,353
But I remember turning and
I was already thinking about
435
00:24:52,355 --> 00:24:53,473
going to overtake him.
436
00:24:53,475 --> 00:24:57,093
A few laps, I was fighting
on him, couldn't pass him,
437
00:24:57,095 --> 00:24:59,233
and suddenly I saw him lift.
438
00:24:59,235 --> 00:25:00,941
My goodness me.
439
00:25:00,943 --> 00:25:03,193
The drama could not get any greater.
440
00:25:03,195 --> 00:25:05,523
Jules Gounon is out.
441
00:25:05,525 --> 00:25:09,083
We were traveling at
235, 235 kilometers,
442
00:25:09,085 --> 00:25:11,633
which is really fast that corner,
443
00:25:11,635 --> 00:25:13,153
and I couldn't avoid him.
444
00:25:13,155 --> 00:25:17,633
I really had that moment
where I felt in slow motion.
445
00:25:17,635 --> 00:25:19,488
I really saw the wall and like.
446
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:23,943
And I really remember myself
447
00:25:23,945 --> 00:25:28,383
just going really hard
to try to save my life.
448
00:25:28,385 --> 00:25:30,858
And obviously after
that, I don't remember.
449
00:25:39,019 --> 00:25:40,469
We're in a dangerous sport.
450
00:25:41,325 --> 00:25:43,013
But we are professionals, we're athletes.
451
00:25:43,015 --> 00:25:45,573
We know how to execute exactly
what we need to execute.
452
00:25:45,575 --> 00:25:46,553
Those things still happen.
453
00:25:46,555 --> 00:25:47,933
You just don't have control over them.
454
00:25:47,935 --> 00:25:49,113
So you don't think about them
455
00:25:49,115 --> 00:25:50,563
and hope they never happened to you.
456
00:25:50,565 --> 00:25:53,173
We are on the cusp of grip of that car.
457
00:25:53,175 --> 00:25:57,043
So the littlest thing can
throw you into the wall
458
00:25:57,045 --> 00:25:58,645
and you just hope it never does.
459
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:02,353
Honestly first when I saw the crash.
460
00:26:02,355 --> 00:26:07,355
The speed, the door, the crash
was on the east side doors.
461
00:26:07,615 --> 00:26:09,953
For me it was, it was finished.
462
00:26:09,955 --> 00:26:13,853
Also I was in the paddock and
I was cruising and waiting,
463
00:26:13,855 --> 00:26:16,713
because I had to wait to
go to the medical center.
464
00:26:16,715 --> 00:26:18,353
For me it was finished.
465
00:26:18,355 --> 00:26:19,993
So medical
team down there attending
466
00:26:19,995 --> 00:26:21,018
to Jules Gounon.
467
00:26:21,885 --> 00:26:25,943
And there, Daniel Keilwitz,
looks on with anxiety.
468
00:26:25,945 --> 00:26:28,136
In my mind it was that it was,
469
00:26:28,138 --> 00:26:30,713
perhaps he's not there anymore.
470
00:26:30,715 --> 00:26:34,133
But at the end where he
wanted to be: racing,
471
00:26:34,135 --> 00:26:35,838
and his life is like that.
472
00:26:36,807 --> 00:26:39,098
It was terrible, but on the other side,
473
00:26:40,005 --> 00:26:42,983
he was where I wanted to be, also
474
00:26:42,985 --> 00:26:45,623
Short life but a fantastic life,
475
00:26:45,625 --> 00:26:49,588
is better than long life with regrets.
476
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:52,603
When I wake up, I had the door handle,
477
00:26:52,605 --> 00:26:55,313
which was in my leg.
478
00:26:55,315 --> 00:26:57,638
I looked in my leg full of blood,
479
00:26:59,325 --> 00:27:01,733
and I'm like, look at myself.
480
00:27:01,735 --> 00:27:04,083
Okay, I can move. I'm not dead.
481
00:27:04,085 --> 00:27:06,628
Or maybe I am, but I can still move.
482
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:07,848
So it's a good sign.
483
00:27:09,115 --> 00:27:11,313
It was a life changment for me.
484
00:27:11,315 --> 00:27:15,203
'Cause you can feel that in one second
485
00:27:15,205 --> 00:27:16,873
you can pass away.
486
00:27:16,875 --> 00:27:20,698
And yeah, that's the part
of our job, our risk.
487
00:27:21,815 --> 00:27:24,173
Sometimes when things like this happen,
488
00:27:24,175 --> 00:27:28,483
you're reminded that you're
still doing a dangerous sport.
489
00:27:28,485 --> 00:27:31,063
And sometimes to keep yourself motivated,
490
00:27:31,065 --> 00:27:33,501
after things like this, it's difficult.
491
00:27:33,503 --> 00:27:34,334
It too me a month before
492
00:27:34,336 --> 00:27:36,327
being capable of watching
the video on YouTube
493
00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:38,491
because I didn't want to see.
494
00:27:38,493 --> 00:27:40,533
It was too violent.
495
00:27:40,535 --> 00:27:44,182
Jules
Gounon, being taken away.
496
00:27:44,184 --> 00:27:45,707
When
an accident happens,
497
00:27:45,709 --> 00:27:47,600
Each time you re-evaluate the risk
498
00:27:48,881 --> 00:27:50,692
But you cannot avoid it.
499
00:27:50,694 --> 00:27:52,053
I don't want to die in a race car,
500
00:27:52,055 --> 00:27:54,289
but if one day I die on it,
501
00:27:54,291 --> 00:27:56,558
I will have lived my best life.
502
00:28:17,704 --> 00:28:19,593
Laurens Vanthoor,
sticking to the leader.
503
00:28:19,595 --> 00:28:22,573
Chase for third though the
Corvette is down to fourth place,
504
00:28:22,575 --> 00:28:27,543
up to third, as gone the 93
Porsche, that's Earl Bamber,
505
00:28:27,545 --> 00:28:29,615
as darkness starts to form.
506
00:28:36,372 --> 00:28:37,205
Daddy!
507
00:28:38,305 --> 00:28:39,138
Hello.
508
00:28:41,822 --> 00:28:42,989
You're home.
509
00:28:47,049 --> 00:28:48,219
How was school?
510
00:28:48,221 --> 00:28:49,820
Good. How was your race?
511
00:28:49,822 --> 00:28:50,653
It was okay.
512
00:28:50,655 --> 00:28:51,873
The best part is being able
513
00:28:51,875 --> 00:28:54,733
to come away from a race weekend,
514
00:28:54,735 --> 00:28:57,823
whether it was a great
race weekend or a bad one,
515
00:28:57,825 --> 00:29:00,843
and come home and just
snap out of racing life.
516
00:29:00,845 --> 00:29:04,113
And, you know, play
with barbies and horses
517
00:29:04,115 --> 00:29:07,053
and, you know, just have fun with my kids
518
00:29:07,055 --> 00:29:08,193
or play a board games.
519
00:29:08,195 --> 00:29:10,471
So you guys are going
to cook me dinner right?
520
00:29:10,473 --> 00:29:11,420
Yeah.
521
00:29:11,422 --> 00:29:13,101
Well what are we having.
522
00:29:13,103 --> 00:29:14,953
No, 'cause mom cooked already.
523
00:29:14,955 --> 00:29:18,057
That's how you pay for dinner.
524
00:29:18,059 --> 00:29:18,890
What are we having?
525
00:29:18,892 --> 00:29:20,273
When he comes home,
526
00:29:20,275 --> 00:29:22,903
I think it gives his mind
and his body a chance
527
00:29:22,905 --> 00:29:24,843
to just enjoy life,
528
00:29:24,845 --> 00:29:27,402
and I think that's why
it's so good for him.
529
00:29:29,315 --> 00:29:31,757
He's my husband first, and then the dad
530
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:33,273
and then the race car driver.
531
00:29:33,275 --> 00:29:36,225
I'm immensely proud of
the person that he is.
532
00:29:37,365 --> 00:29:40,213
He's an amazing dad, and
he's very much present
533
00:29:40,215 --> 00:29:41,463
when he's home.
534
00:29:41,465 --> 00:29:44,070
Which is nice, 'cause it is
hard to turn off, you know,
535
00:29:44,072 --> 00:29:45,998
if you're so focused.
536
00:29:47,012 --> 00:29:48,733
But when we're home we're with the dogs,
537
00:29:48,735 --> 00:29:50,128
we're with the kids.
538
00:29:51,015 --> 00:29:53,183
For me, I think it's
really helped me mentally
539
00:29:53,185 --> 00:29:57,733
to not get drained or
over complicate things
540
00:29:57,735 --> 00:29:59,623
or overthink things on the racing side.
541
00:29:59,625 --> 00:30:02,138
Because it's very easy to do that.
542
00:30:14,805 --> 00:30:17,433
When he starts the race
season again, come March,
543
00:30:17,435 --> 00:30:21,863
he's ready and he's refreshed.
544
00:30:21,865 --> 00:30:22,883
And I think,
545
00:30:22,885 --> 00:30:24,943
I think that's a real
winning factor for him
546
00:30:24,945 --> 00:30:27,588
is that he can have the best of both.
547
00:30:29,555 --> 00:30:34,555
Like any marriage we, you know,
add to each other's lives.
548
00:30:34,615 --> 00:30:38,473
I think why me and Scott
have got so lucky is that
549
00:30:38,475 --> 00:30:41,993
with my background, I've
been a sports person
550
00:30:41,995 --> 00:30:43,343
for quite a long time.
551
00:30:43,345 --> 00:30:45,693
You know, I went professional
with my sport at 14.
552
00:30:45,695 --> 00:30:49,568
So I knew the commitments
involved in a sporting career.
553
00:30:50,797 --> 00:30:52,723
So what I can bring to Scott,
554
00:30:52,725 --> 00:30:54,203
not that I need to bring very much
555
00:30:54,205 --> 00:30:57,293
'cause he's an incredibly
focused athlete anyway.
556
00:30:57,295 --> 00:30:59,633
But I can concentrate on the nutrition.
557
00:30:59,635 --> 00:31:01,553
We concentrate on the training
558
00:31:01,555 --> 00:31:04,663
and that's where I think
I can help him, you know,
559
00:31:04,665 --> 00:31:08,343
in the sense that I
understand to get to the top.
560
00:31:08,345 --> 00:31:11,793
You know, you have to remain very focused.
561
00:31:15,085 --> 00:31:16,323
It's the perfect combination.
562
00:31:16,325 --> 00:31:20,423
You know, it's, I'm lucky
enough that, you know, Emma,
563
00:31:20,425 --> 00:31:22,333
my wife and and Poppy and Tilly are able
564
00:31:22,335 --> 00:31:24,253
to come to probably half the races.
565
00:31:24,255 --> 00:31:27,423
Emma, maybe a little more than, than half.
566
00:31:27,425 --> 00:31:28,623
You know, it's tough with schooling,
567
00:31:28,625 --> 00:31:30,760
especially at this age now, too.
568
00:31:30,762 --> 00:31:34,665
But for me, you know,
family is everything.
569
00:31:35,754 --> 00:31:36,702
We'll just got here.
570
00:31:36,704 --> 00:31:38,532
I think you've got to write these out.
571
00:31:38,534 --> 00:31:41,744
No, can you just type the please send.
572
00:31:41,746 --> 00:31:43,544
This one I got a four.
573
00:31:43,546 --> 00:31:44,713
Nice.
574
00:31:45,825 --> 00:31:50,825
Scott, off the track
is a championship driver.
575
00:31:51,025 --> 00:31:52,633
He's a great family man.
576
00:31:52,635 --> 00:31:54,203
He's a great father.
577
00:31:54,205 --> 00:31:59,053
So he understands the whole
package of what it takes
578
00:31:59,055 --> 00:32:00,463
to be a driver.
579
00:32:00,465 --> 00:32:03,723
And when you understand the
whole package of being a driver,
580
00:32:03,725 --> 00:32:07,048
that's the first step to
becoming a championship driver.
581
00:32:08,925 --> 00:32:11,913
I do feel like we're such a team,
582
00:32:11,915 --> 00:32:13,150
you know, it works really well,
583
00:32:13,152 --> 00:32:16,193
and Scott actually loves to
have the girls at the track.
584
00:32:16,195 --> 00:32:20,283
When the engine starts
and the race begins.
585
00:32:20,285 --> 00:32:23,635
Every driver has a
particular look in their eye
586
00:32:25,055 --> 00:32:28,038
when it comes to racing.
587
00:32:28,925 --> 00:32:32,243
When he goes out the
door, it's, he's all focused
588
00:32:32,245 --> 00:32:34,743
and really consumed with the racing.
589
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:37,363
I don't believe that
someone with a family
590
00:32:37,365 --> 00:32:39,763
is thinking about the family and the risks
591
00:32:39,765 --> 00:32:41,473
that they're putting
themselves in that weekend.
592
00:32:41,475 --> 00:32:43,023
Otherwise they probably wouldn't continue
593
00:32:43,025 --> 00:32:43,883
being a race-car driver.
594
00:32:43,885 --> 00:32:45,713
'Cause there are other opportunities
595
00:32:45,715 --> 00:32:47,943
to do things on those weekends.
596
00:32:47,945 --> 00:32:50,243
But since they're gifted individuals
597
00:32:50,245 --> 00:32:51,763
that know how to race well,
598
00:32:51,765 --> 00:32:55,563
they step in that car collectively
and they pilot that car
599
00:32:55,565 --> 00:32:58,238
beyond its ability every single day.
600
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:02,356
Of course, I'm bias, but I do think
601
00:33:02,358 --> 00:33:03,813
he's one of the greatest
602
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:05,711
drivers of all time.
603
00:33:05,713 --> 00:33:08,658
Here we
are, right on the time.
604
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:40,173
The safety car is out again
605
00:34:40,175 --> 00:34:41,352
here at Le Mans.
606
00:34:44,406 --> 00:34:47,033
Did you catch the safety car yet Memo?
607
00:34:47,035 --> 00:34:48,680
No I'm behind the GT Cars.
608
00:34:48,682 --> 00:34:51,710
I can't see the driver
get out of the car so,
609
00:34:51,712 --> 00:34:54,212
it's one of the SMP cars.
610
00:34:55,445 --> 00:34:56,903
It gets to a point where you,
611
00:34:56,905 --> 00:35:01,273
you lose perspective on how fast you go,
612
00:35:01,275 --> 00:35:04,003
and you don't realize
how fast you're going
613
00:35:04,005 --> 00:35:05,603
until you have an accident.
614
00:35:05,605 --> 00:35:07,993
Rojef drops
a wheel onto the grass
615
00:35:07,995 --> 00:35:09,683
at the beginning of the Porsche curves
616
00:35:09,685 --> 00:35:11,613
and a high speed off.
617
00:35:11,615 --> 00:35:14,873
There's a huge amount of
damage to the car that was
618
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:16,638
in third place overall.
619
00:35:24,485 --> 00:35:27,003
When I took the decision
to be a race car driver,
620
00:35:27,005 --> 00:35:28,173
my life changed.
621
00:35:28,175 --> 00:35:31,703
Literally every decision
I took was taken based
622
00:35:31,705 --> 00:35:35,293
on how can I achieve my goal
of being a race car driver.
623
00:35:35,295 --> 00:35:36,843
When you're going through
the junior categories,
624
00:35:36,845 --> 00:35:38,493
you kind of, you're
living the dream right.
625
00:35:38,495 --> 00:35:41,113
You know especially at
the young age of seven
626
00:35:41,115 --> 00:35:42,253
through to say 15,
627
00:35:42,255 --> 00:35:46,143
you're constantly thinking,
is this a reality.
628
00:35:46,145 --> 00:35:48,193
You know, yeah, it's going to
happen, it's going to happen.
629
00:35:48,195 --> 00:35:49,653
You kind of just think
it's going to happen.
630
00:35:49,655 --> 00:35:52,363
But you know, the stress
that it had on my family.
631
00:35:52,365 --> 00:35:54,765
You know, each year, my
dad trying to, you know,
632
00:35:55,955 --> 00:35:59,413
round up the funds or the money
to try and make it possible,
633
00:35:59,415 --> 00:36:01,143
was something I was very naive to.
634
00:36:01,145 --> 00:36:02,824
I didn't really understand it.
635
00:36:02,826 --> 00:36:03,723
Didn't, you know, want to know about it.
636
00:36:03,725 --> 00:36:06,513
All I wanted to do was race and drive.
637
00:36:06,515 --> 00:36:08,743
But I think as you go
through those categories,
638
00:36:08,745 --> 00:36:09,903
you start to understand like,
639
00:36:09,905 --> 00:36:12,003
hey we're doing pretty well here.
640
00:36:12,005 --> 00:36:13,883
But each year was a make or break year.
641
00:36:13,885 --> 00:36:15,643
You know, could you continue on.
642
00:36:15,645 --> 00:36:18,503
Family effort was put into my career,
643
00:36:18,505 --> 00:36:21,513
and I will be grateful
to my family forever.
644
00:36:21,515 --> 00:36:25,343
But as my career, eh, got down the road,
645
00:36:25,345 --> 00:36:26,833
there was nowhere I could keep going
646
00:36:26,835 --> 00:36:28,553
because the budgets were getting higher
647
00:36:28,555 --> 00:36:31,963
and it was difficult to
go to the next level.
648
00:36:31,965 --> 00:36:34,693
And Telmex created the
driver development program
649
00:36:34,695 --> 00:36:35,843
called Escuderia Telmex,
650
00:36:35,845 --> 00:36:39,213
which, you know they recruited
651
00:36:39,215 --> 00:36:41,583
some of the best Mexican talent,
652
00:36:41,585 --> 00:36:45,103
and they gave us a chance
in the best categories.
653
00:36:45,105 --> 00:36:48,728
And ever since then, you
know, my career took off.
654
00:36:49,739 --> 00:36:52,313
I have a chance to meet
Memo when he was very young.
655
00:36:52,315 --> 00:36:56,033
He was starting his career in motorsports.
656
00:36:56,035 --> 00:36:59,473
And I think sometimes
timings are very important.
657
00:36:59,475 --> 00:37:02,123
Just when he was starting
658
00:37:02,125 --> 00:37:04,673
to look for his international development.
659
00:37:04,675 --> 00:37:07,583
The team was being built
together with other sponsors.
660
00:37:07,585 --> 00:37:11,433
So it was a very nice
coincidence that things happened
661
00:37:11,435 --> 00:37:12,812
in that way.
662
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:14,681
What would be your plans for next season?
663
00:37:14,683 --> 00:37:15,973
What are you thinking about next year?
664
00:37:15,975 --> 00:37:19,473
You know, Carlos I think, you know
665
00:37:19,475 --> 00:37:24,053
since we won four championship in IMSA,
666
00:37:24,055 --> 00:37:28,623
and we won Daytona 24,
we won Sebring 12 hours.
667
00:37:28,625 --> 00:37:30,863
The next race to have the triple crown of
668
00:37:30,865 --> 00:37:34,447
endurance racing, would
be the 24 hour of Le Mans.
669
00:37:34,449 --> 00:37:38,483
So I think for you, for Telcel for Telmex,
670
00:37:38,485 --> 00:37:42,263
to have the triple crown would
be a massive achievement.
671
00:37:42,265 --> 00:37:44,913
Memo wants to achieve
Le Mans 24 hour win.
672
00:37:44,915 --> 00:37:46,423
He has a Daytona 24 hour win,
673
00:37:46,425 --> 00:37:48,233
he has a Sebring 12 hour win.
674
00:37:48,235 --> 00:37:51,138
And if he wins Le Mans 24,
who knows what he'll do,
675
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:52,993
he would be a triple crown winner.
676
00:37:52,995 --> 00:37:56,993
We've achieved so many
successes together with Telmex
677
00:37:56,995 --> 00:38:00,383
program and with the help of
great teams that I've been at,
678
00:38:00,385 --> 00:38:01,893
like Chip Ganassi Racing.
679
00:38:01,895 --> 00:38:05,053
I won Daytona 24, three times.
680
00:38:05,055 --> 00:38:07,913
Memo Rojas is a driver that came to us
681
00:38:07,915 --> 00:38:12,915
from Mexico and was a proven
winner in Mexico already.
682
00:38:13,245 --> 00:38:15,593
We have many, many wins with Memo.
683
00:38:15,595 --> 00:38:20,443
He was a professional and
the cream rose to the top.
684
00:38:20,445 --> 00:38:21,943
When it was time to perform,
685
00:38:21,945 --> 00:38:25,883
he performed as a racing
driver there at Daytona,
686
00:38:25,885 --> 00:38:28,983
and it was glorious to
win that race with him.
687
00:38:28,985 --> 00:38:32,343
Once you get the chance to
prove yourself and to perform,
688
00:38:32,345 --> 00:38:35,073
and you have the support of sponsors.
689
00:38:35,075 --> 00:38:39,613
Then you know even though
the budgets are bigger,
690
00:38:39,615 --> 00:38:43,303
it kind of becomes easier
because now you have a name.
691
00:38:43,305 --> 00:38:44,848
Now you proved yourself.
692
00:38:45,995 --> 00:38:49,603
Racing is very expensive on someone,
693
00:38:49,605 --> 00:38:53,053
either the team, the driver,
the car owner, the team owner.
694
00:38:53,055 --> 00:38:57,293
And the Escuderia Telmex
really allowed Memo
695
00:38:57,295 --> 00:39:01,433
to break out of Mexico
and allowed him to race.
696
00:39:01,435 --> 00:39:03,393
Obviously his skill
plays a factor in that,
697
00:39:03,395 --> 00:39:04,573
a large factor in that.
698
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:06,373
But unless you have funding behind you,
699
00:39:06,375 --> 00:39:08,013
you're not going anywhere.
700
00:39:08,015 --> 00:39:10,013
He was the first driver within the team
701
00:39:10,015 --> 00:39:11,158
that went to Europe.
702
00:39:12,015 --> 00:39:16,233
Having the combination of
young talents being attached
703
00:39:16,235 --> 00:39:18,783
to the image of our country,
704
00:39:18,785 --> 00:39:21,068
together with the
development of motor sport,
705
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:23,689
is a very strong combination.
706
00:39:27,485 --> 00:39:28,473
At the end of the day,
707
00:39:28,475 --> 00:39:30,728
we are here because we want to win this.
708
00:39:31,595 --> 00:39:35,513
It's been a long road, 27
years behind the wheels,
709
00:39:35,515 --> 00:39:36,765
since I was a little kid.
710
00:39:39,425 --> 00:39:41,993
Yeah, you could say,
I am obsessed with it.
711
00:39:41,995 --> 00:39:45,023
But still even after
winning Daytona three times,
712
00:39:45,025 --> 00:39:49,644
the dream of Le Mans seems
to be a far far thing.
713
00:40:11,658 --> 00:40:13,667
Radio check Memo.
714
00:40:13,669 --> 00:40:16,336
Copy radio check.
715
00:40:18,981 --> 00:40:21,659
Three to go Memo. Three to go.
716
00:40:21,661 --> 00:40:25,280
For info, you are the
second fastest average
717
00:40:25,282 --> 00:40:28,269
on this stint on track at the moment.
718
00:40:51,180 --> 00:40:54,597
Light rain reported
Dunlop and Tertre Rouge.
719
00:40:56,191 --> 00:40:59,941
Pit this lap Bruno, pit
this lap for fuel only.
720
00:41:00,995 --> 00:41:03,130
I'm really proud of
being related to Ayrton.
721
00:41:03,132 --> 00:41:06,323
You know, it's something
that I'm sure that
722
00:41:06,325 --> 00:41:07,870
a lot of people would like to be as well,
723
00:41:07,872 --> 00:41:09,553
you know, to have known him personally,
724
00:41:09,555 --> 00:41:13,078
and to have experienced so much with him.
725
00:41:13,917 --> 00:41:16,573
He was a massive family guy.
726
00:41:16,575 --> 00:41:18,333
You know he just loved
being with the family.
727
00:41:18,335 --> 00:41:22,993
He enjoyed pranking us all
the time, making jokes.
728
00:41:22,995 --> 00:41:26,093
And it was really funny
because at the same time
729
00:41:26,095 --> 00:41:28,023
it was super cool being with him.
730
00:41:28,025 --> 00:41:29,783
It was a little bit tense because
you never know when you're
731
00:41:29,785 --> 00:41:31,133
going to be throwing the water,
732
00:41:31,135 --> 00:41:33,333
or when you're going
to get like some pepper
733
00:41:33,335 --> 00:41:34,166
thrown on your food.
734
00:41:34,168 --> 00:41:35,393
So it was a lot of fun.
735
00:41:35,395 --> 00:41:39,273
You know, as a kid, you always
enjoy that sort of stuff.
736
00:41:39,275 --> 00:41:41,114
I think Ayrton would be very happy
737
00:41:41,116 --> 00:41:43,093
to come racing in Le Mans.
738
00:41:43,095 --> 00:41:45,593
I would love, absolutely love
to have him as my teammate.
739
00:41:45,595 --> 00:41:48,903
Although I think if we would go for the,
740
00:41:48,905 --> 00:41:51,633
if there's a gap, you have to
go for it every single time.
741
00:41:51,635 --> 00:41:53,373
Maybe he's not going to finish
Le Mans on the first time,
742
00:41:53,375 --> 00:41:55,225
but he'll learn very quickly with it.
743
00:41:56,205 --> 00:41:58,890
Yeah, he'll be the
ultimate teammate I think.
744
00:41:58,892 --> 00:42:01,403
He was absolutely amazing
on the race track.
745
00:42:01,405 --> 00:42:03,763
He was the fastest guy out there.
746
00:42:03,765 --> 00:42:06,573
Well, I think Ayrton was and still is
747
00:42:06,575 --> 00:42:10,443
a huge example for us, for all the family.
748
00:42:10,445 --> 00:42:12,803
We lost our father very early.
749
00:42:12,805 --> 00:42:15,753
One year after Ayrton's accident.
750
00:42:15,755 --> 00:42:19,333
Obviously because Bruno
is also a racing driver.
751
00:42:19,335 --> 00:42:23,633
He has a person, a driver to look up to.
752
00:42:23,635 --> 00:42:26,668
This is the 25th
anniversary of Ayrton's death,
753
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,893
and we've, you know we tried
to keep his memory alive
754
00:42:31,895 --> 00:42:34,833
to people as much as
possible, and this year.
755
00:42:34,835 --> 00:42:37,353
I'm going to drive his 88' McLaren,
756
00:42:37,355 --> 00:42:40,250
the car he won his first
formula one title with.
757
00:42:43,995 --> 00:42:47,128
Is there anyway we can trim
the pipe a little higher?
758
00:42:48,721 --> 00:42:50,879
If there's a way we can trim it,
759
00:42:50,881 --> 00:42:52,728
a little bit higher so it doesn't fall?
760
00:42:55,018 --> 00:42:57,813
People really love Ayrton.
761
00:42:57,815 --> 00:43:01,053
I think it's because
Brazilians really miss having
762
00:43:01,055 --> 00:43:03,373
someone that's world-class
like Ayrton was,
763
00:43:03,375 --> 00:43:06,084
but also an example of a human being.
764
00:43:09,496 --> 00:43:11,973
Life can be very difficult in Brazil.
765
00:43:11,975 --> 00:43:15,003
You have, in Brazil you
have all the extreme,
766
00:43:15,005 --> 00:43:15,933
all the extremes.
767
00:43:15,935 --> 00:43:18,973
You have the fantastic nature.
768
00:43:18,975 --> 00:43:21,093
You can have all the good material things
769
00:43:21,095 --> 00:43:22,538
that money can buy.
770
00:43:23,445 --> 00:43:26,053
But at the same time, you
have lots of problems,
771
00:43:26,055 --> 00:43:31,043
social problems and poverty, some violence
772
00:43:31,045 --> 00:43:32,853
as a consequence.
773
00:43:32,855 --> 00:43:37,855
I tried to help a little bit
for children particularly.
774
00:43:38,805 --> 00:43:42,355
The way our family decided to react
775
00:43:43,465 --> 00:43:45,643
after the accident, we had two choices.
776
00:43:45,645 --> 00:43:50,645
You know, to just feel pity
for ourselves and, you know,
777
00:43:50,725 --> 00:43:55,725
to lose such a nice person
or showing the importance
778
00:43:55,845 --> 00:43:57,943
that he had for so many people.
779
00:43:57,945 --> 00:44:01,403
How could we leverage
that to one of his dreams,
780
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:03,223
which was, you know, to give opportunity
781
00:44:03,225 --> 00:44:06,943
to so many children and
youngsters in Brazil.
782
00:44:06,945 --> 00:44:11,843
And we decided to take the second choice.
783
00:44:11,845 --> 00:44:12,933
The biggest tool you can have,
784
00:44:12,935 --> 00:44:15,123
and nobody can take away from
you is to be knowledgeable,
785
00:44:15,125 --> 00:44:19,653
to be educated, to have maths
language skills in general.
786
00:44:19,655 --> 00:44:21,388
To become what you want to become.
787
00:44:25,575 --> 00:44:27,243
Hi, welcome to the Ayrton Senna Institute.
788
00:44:27,245 --> 00:44:28,813
This is the heart of all the work you do
789
00:44:28,815 --> 00:44:30,183
for the children in Brazil.
790
00:44:30,185 --> 00:44:32,023
And there's so many
interesting things here.
791
00:44:32,025 --> 00:44:33,825
So I'm going to take you for a walk.
792
00:44:35,405 --> 00:44:38,953
Here we have a race worn
helmet, his boots, his gloves.
793
00:44:38,955 --> 00:44:40,803
So here in the foundation
we have so much stuff
794
00:44:40,805 --> 00:44:43,553
that belonged to Ayrton that
brings his amazing inspiration
795
00:44:43,555 --> 00:44:45,005
to everybody that works here.
796
00:44:57,605 --> 00:44:59,573
Senninha is our cartoon character.
797
00:44:59,575 --> 00:45:02,863
It's was created by Ayrton
when he was still alive,
798
00:45:02,865 --> 00:45:05,573
and he wanted to, you
know, transmit his values
799
00:45:05,575 --> 00:45:07,983
and the good things for the kids.
800
00:45:07,985 --> 00:45:11,813
Senninha is a brand now, it's
100% owned by the foundation.
801
00:45:11,815 --> 00:45:14,143
So every dollar made by the Sunninha brand
802
00:45:14,145 --> 00:45:15,526
goes straight to the foundation.
803
00:45:15,528 --> 00:45:18,623
So it's a great way for
revenue to be created.
804
00:45:18,625 --> 00:45:21,773
The foundation is the only non-university
805
00:45:21,775 --> 00:45:25,003
or non-governmental
institution in the world
806
00:45:25,005 --> 00:45:27,555
to hold a chair at the UNESCO
807
00:45:28,695 --> 00:45:30,953
knowledge creation institutions.
808
00:45:30,955 --> 00:45:34,243
Which is a real achievement,
when you consider
809
00:45:34,245 --> 00:45:36,433
that is, you know, something that operates
810
00:45:36,435 --> 00:45:39,133
and to just give children
opportunities in Brazil.
811
00:45:39,135 --> 00:45:41,593
Bruno is for sure living
up to the Senna legacy.
812
00:45:41,595 --> 00:45:44,873
He has the last name, I
mean, huge shoes to fill,
813
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:46,803
and he's doing a really great job.
814
00:45:46,805 --> 00:45:48,913
But it's really only that, it's a legacy.
815
00:45:48,915 --> 00:45:52,223
These guys are still performing
at such a high level.
816
00:45:52,225 --> 00:45:53,253
They still have to train.
817
00:45:53,255 --> 00:45:54,793
They still have to have the skills.
818
00:45:54,795 --> 00:45:56,083
They still have to have the mindset,
819
00:45:56,085 --> 00:45:58,083
and then they have to go and execute it.
820
00:45:58,085 --> 00:46:01,383
That moment when I saw
Ayrton lifting this trophy up
821
00:46:01,385 --> 00:46:03,783
with even when he had
no energy left on him.
822
00:46:03,785 --> 00:46:05,413
It made me inspired to, you know,
823
00:46:05,415 --> 00:46:06,703
always try and beat the limit,
824
00:46:06,705 --> 00:46:09,252
try to be the best version of myself.
825
00:46:24,827 --> 00:46:26,633
Aston Martin 95 is off.
826
00:46:26,635 --> 00:46:29,493
That is a really fast accident
827
00:46:29,495 --> 00:46:32,935
turning in flat out in top
gear, the car just spins.
828
00:46:39,145 --> 00:46:42,932
Full service fuel driving
change and fresh tires.
829
00:46:43,917 --> 00:46:45,790
Warning for track limits at Tertre Rouge
830
00:46:45,792 --> 00:46:47,436
For your information
831
00:47:19,555 --> 00:47:23,103
Sunday morning and hundreds
of thousands of fans awake
832
00:47:23,105 --> 00:47:25,883
at 7:30 in the morning
with Jose Maria Lopez,
833
00:47:25,885 --> 00:47:28,873
leading for Toyota,
G-drive in charge in LMP-2,
834
00:47:28,875 --> 00:47:30,708
Corvette in GTE Pro.
835
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:37,153
All cars have four wheels.
836
00:47:37,155 --> 00:47:39,283
Some have the engine in the front,
837
00:47:39,285 --> 00:47:41,113
some have the engine in the back,
838
00:47:41,115 --> 00:47:43,323
some have the engine in the middle.
839
00:47:43,325 --> 00:47:45,703
But they're all connected to the track
840
00:47:45,705 --> 00:47:47,933
with four patches of rubber.
841
00:47:47,935 --> 00:47:51,183
And, Scott has great ability to manage
842
00:47:51,185 --> 00:47:56,185
those four patches of rubber
that are touching the surface.
843
00:47:57,075 --> 00:48:00,893
So it sort of doesn't
matter what car he's in.
844
00:48:00,895 --> 00:48:05,323
He understands the, what it
takes to make a car fast.
845
00:48:05,325 --> 00:48:08,253
It's definitely my strong
suit is being able to adapt
846
00:48:08,255 --> 00:48:13,255
to different cars or maybe
just getting on with it,
847
00:48:13,675 --> 00:48:15,943
opposed to trying to pick apart
848
00:48:15,945 --> 00:48:17,123
what needs to make it better.
849
00:48:17,125 --> 00:48:20,467
So that's also my downside is
that instead of trying to make
850
00:48:20,469 --> 00:48:22,883
the car better, I would
just try to drive around it.
851
00:48:22,885 --> 00:48:26,678
Whether he's in an Indycar,
whether he's in a Ford GT,
852
00:48:27,645 --> 00:48:32,233
he just gets in, he drives,
figure out what the car needs,
853
00:48:32,235 --> 00:48:34,662
and he does it and he
just makes it happen.
854
00:48:36,715 --> 00:48:40,083
I think every time he
gets in a car, there is,
855
00:48:40,085 --> 00:48:42,033
you know, there is that little thought
856
00:48:42,035 --> 00:48:43,093
in the back your head, like,
857
00:48:43,095 --> 00:48:45,443
please don't let it be my go.
858
00:48:45,445 --> 00:48:46,513
Please bring him home.
859
00:48:46,515 --> 00:48:48,843
Like there is that side of it.
860
00:48:48,845 --> 00:48:50,133
But once the race starts,
861
00:48:50,135 --> 00:48:53,193
I'm just wanting him
to like do really well.
862
00:48:53,195 --> 00:48:54,913
So yeah, the fear factors is there.
863
00:48:54,915 --> 00:48:58,363
But I think you have to
push it out of your mind.
864
00:48:58,365 --> 00:49:02,313
Scott Dixon is a very talented
driver in all race cars.
865
00:49:02,315 --> 00:49:04,283
And some things are out of your control,
866
00:49:04,285 --> 00:49:07,863
and the worst could have
happened at the Indy 500 in 2017.
867
00:49:07,865 --> 00:49:09,953
We started on the pole,
car was pretty good.
868
00:49:09,955 --> 00:49:12,483
We slipped back, I
think a couple of spots.
869
00:49:12,485 --> 00:49:15,253
And then we actually ran
probably I think, for a stint,
870
00:49:15,255 --> 00:49:16,373
a stint and a half.
871
00:49:16,375 --> 00:49:17,523
Made some changes to the car,
872
00:49:17,525 --> 00:49:19,103
we're coming back through the field,
873
00:49:19,105 --> 00:49:22,183
and could kind of see going
down the front straight
874
00:49:22,185 --> 00:49:24,573
that people are starting
to slow down a little bit.
875
00:49:24,575 --> 00:49:27,743
Kind of see there was a
car offline a little bit.
876
00:49:27,745 --> 00:49:29,125
Didn't think too much of it.
877
00:49:29,127 --> 00:49:31,373
You know, it's quite typical in Indy 500.
878
00:49:31,375 --> 00:49:33,803
You know, the closing
rate can be quite quick
879
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:36,724
when you're doing 230 miles an hour.
880
00:49:36,726 --> 00:49:39,605
And then unfortunately
just out of the, you know,
881
00:49:39,607 --> 00:49:42,307
corner of my eye I could see
the car touched the wall.
882
00:49:44,685 --> 00:49:46,573
And then at that point, your, you know,
883
00:49:46,575 --> 00:49:48,292
still at 230 miles an hour,
884
00:49:48,294 --> 00:49:49,643
and you gotta make a very quick decision
885
00:49:49,645 --> 00:49:50,653
of which way to go.
886
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:52,923
And typically if a car's
kind of against the wall,
887
00:49:52,925 --> 00:49:54,573
it's gonna stay against the
wall, especially, you know,
888
00:49:54,575 --> 00:49:57,413
with the speed and how it pushes out.
889
00:49:57,415 --> 00:49:58,893
But unfortunately with how, you know,
890
00:49:58,895 --> 00:50:02,753
Jay's car hit the wall it
then turned directly left
891
00:50:02,755 --> 00:50:03,643
right in the pathway.
892
00:50:03,645 --> 00:50:08,173
And at that speed, you
just really can't change,
893
00:50:08,175 --> 00:50:10,155
you know, your direction too much.
894
00:50:10,157 --> 00:50:11,903
And I tried to stop hit Jay,
895
00:50:11,905 --> 00:50:13,903
and it went up into the
air, probably I think
896
00:50:13,905 --> 00:50:15,897
about 30 feet into the air.
897
00:50:15,899 --> 00:50:16,743
No! Oh my goodness.
898
00:50:16,745 --> 00:50:19,313
One car airborne, it's Scott Dixon.
899
00:50:19,315 --> 00:50:22,523
He makes contact with
the 77 of Jay Howard,
900
00:50:22,525 --> 00:50:24,383
who got up and out of the curve.
901
00:50:24,385 --> 00:50:26,483
Dixon came down to the
bottom of the racetrack
902
00:50:26,485 --> 00:50:28,003
to try to avoid Howard.
903
00:50:28,005 --> 00:50:31,031
When he made contact
that car went airborne.
904
00:50:31,033 --> 00:50:32,190
I remember kind of looking down
905
00:50:32,192 --> 00:50:34,953
'cause it's started to flip,
906
00:50:34,955 --> 00:50:37,583
and I was like, wow, I'm very high up here
907
00:50:37,585 --> 00:50:39,423
this is gonna hurt.
908
00:50:39,425 --> 00:50:40,923
Then the car actually
tilted the other way,
909
00:50:40,925 --> 00:50:41,988
hit the inside wall.
910
00:50:44,945 --> 00:50:47,863
Just remember hearing the
engine, you know, screaming.
911
00:50:47,865 --> 00:50:49,883
Oh my God, that moment I literally,
912
00:50:49,885 --> 00:50:52,533
I had my headphones on and I just remember
913
00:50:52,535 --> 00:50:54,263
like throwing them, you know, like.
914
00:50:54,265 --> 00:50:57,613
Because I'm so used to hearing
Scott when he's had a crash
915
00:50:57,615 --> 00:51:01,813
come straight on radio and tell
his team I'm good, I'm good.
916
00:51:01,815 --> 00:51:04,433
You know, 'cause they want
to know straight away.
917
00:51:04,435 --> 00:51:06,525
But you couldn't hear anything.
918
00:51:09,765 --> 00:51:12,260
In that moment I thought
the worst, you know,
919
00:51:12,262 --> 00:51:14,493
'cause he didn't speak.
920
00:51:14,495 --> 00:51:16,843
All I remember is looking
up and seeing basically
921
00:51:16,845 --> 00:51:19,353
a half of a car sitting on
the outside of the track,
922
00:51:19,355 --> 00:51:22,163
and I was like, oh I
hope that person's okay.
923
00:51:22,165 --> 00:51:24,673
And kind of checking my body
924
00:51:24,675 --> 00:51:27,563
and oh my leg hurts a
little bit, getting out.
925
00:51:27,565 --> 00:51:30,243
And then looking back at the
car and seeing that, you know,
926
00:51:30,245 --> 00:51:31,949
half the car was missing.
927
00:51:31,951 --> 00:51:34,843
The entire rear
of Dixon's car is removed.
928
00:51:34,845 --> 00:51:38,403
But thank the good lord
Scott Dixon is moving around
929
00:51:38,405 --> 00:51:39,543
in that cockpit.
930
00:51:39,545 --> 00:51:42,403
There is nothing left of that automobile.
931
00:51:42,405 --> 00:51:45,673
Our pole sitter Scott
Dixon again made contact
932
00:51:45,675 --> 00:51:48,313
with the 77 of Jay Howard.
933
00:51:48,315 --> 00:51:51,796
Sometimes, you can't help
what happens, you know,
934
00:51:51,798 --> 00:51:56,275
you got to just trust that
everything's gonna be okay.
935
00:51:59,395 --> 00:52:01,013
It's funny how, you know,
936
00:52:01,015 --> 00:52:03,093
you kind of react in moments like that.
937
00:52:03,095 --> 00:52:05,663
You know, for me, I felt like the car
938
00:52:05,665 --> 00:52:07,325
was a race winning car.
939
00:52:07,327 --> 00:52:09,513
You know, we hadn't started the race
940
00:52:09,515 --> 00:52:11,653
balanced wise exactly
where we want it to be,
941
00:52:11,655 --> 00:52:13,373
but we were starting to move back through.
942
00:52:13,375 --> 00:52:18,375
You know, what kicks in
straight away was just,
943
00:52:18,685 --> 00:52:20,023
I can't believe I'm out of the race.
944
00:52:20,025 --> 00:52:23,044
You know, I was angry because
I was out of the race.
945
00:52:23,046 --> 00:52:24,843
You know, you don't automatically think.
946
00:52:24,845 --> 00:52:26,483
It's kind of weird in those situations.
947
00:52:26,485 --> 00:52:29,203
I think sometimes you almost
think you're indestructible
948
00:52:29,205 --> 00:52:32,593
and I don't know why that is
or what, you know, powers that.
949
00:52:32,595 --> 00:52:35,153
But once the adrenaline
kicks in, you know, for me,
950
00:52:35,155 --> 00:52:37,883
it was just pure anger to start with.
951
00:52:37,885 --> 00:52:39,833
Which, you know, I should
be thankful that I was okay
952
00:52:39,835 --> 00:52:42,168
and able to stand up and walk away.
953
00:52:56,345 --> 00:52:58,893
The greatest memory I have of Scott is
954
00:52:58,895 --> 00:53:00,693
when he emerged from the hospital.
955
00:53:00,695 --> 00:53:02,893
Came walking out of the
hospital about 10 minutes later,
956
00:53:02,895 --> 00:53:06,103
he said, Hey man, he goes,
is our car okay for Detroit?
957
00:53:06,105 --> 00:53:07,633
Which was the following race.
958
00:53:07,635 --> 00:53:09,123
He says, our car okay for Detroit?
959
00:53:09,125 --> 00:53:09,956
I said, yeah.
960
00:53:09,958 --> 00:53:11,753
He said, okay, I'm fine.
961
00:53:11,755 --> 00:53:14,413
And it, you know, and that's
kind of his attitude is,
962
00:53:14,415 --> 00:53:18,183
you know, he sort of brushes off the,
963
00:53:18,185 --> 00:53:19,963
the speed bumps, if you will.
964
00:53:19,965 --> 00:53:23,933
He brushes off the speed
bumps and then looks forward.
965
00:53:23,935 --> 00:53:27,023
And you know again that's
part of understanding
966
00:53:27,025 --> 00:53:29,188
what it takes to be a championship driver.
967
00:53:32,595 --> 00:53:33,613
Very good morning to you,
968
00:53:33,615 --> 00:53:37,233
just after nine o'clock here
at Circuit de la Sarthe.
969
00:53:37,235 --> 00:53:39,833
18 hours done at this year's race,
970
00:53:39,835 --> 00:53:42,153
that means six hours still to go.
971
00:53:42,155 --> 00:53:44,864
The last lap was very good.
972
00:53:44,866 --> 00:53:47,882
It was climbing pass the
chicane down Mulsanne.
973
00:53:49,785 --> 00:53:52,348
Every race has its challenges
974
00:53:52,350 --> 00:53:55,213
and they all require preparation.
975
00:53:55,215 --> 00:53:59,973
As drivers, you do the best
you can to prepare yourself,
976
00:53:59,975 --> 00:54:03,123
and that includes some
psychological training.
977
00:54:03,125 --> 00:54:05,603
The driver mentally
prepared for a 24 hour race,
978
00:54:05,605 --> 00:54:07,613
many weeks in advance, really.
979
00:54:07,615 --> 00:54:11,063
But it's a mental state of just
knowing how well, you know,
980
00:54:11,065 --> 00:54:12,543
you can perform.
981
00:54:12,545 --> 00:54:14,963
The whole weekend, the
second you leave your house.
982
00:54:14,965 --> 00:54:17,373
Every moment you're trying
to be the fastest guy there.
983
00:54:17,375 --> 00:54:20,573
The fastest time, fastest top speed.
984
00:54:20,575 --> 00:54:22,103
Car going very rapidly
985
00:54:22,105 --> 00:54:26,343
further down in the category
is the IDEC Sport Racing.
986
00:54:26,345 --> 00:54:28,823
You need the fast drivers to win races
987
00:54:28,825 --> 00:54:31,143
because everybody's pushing so hard.
988
00:54:31,145 --> 00:54:33,683
But I guess really is to understand,
989
00:54:33,685 --> 00:54:36,823
and to have a free mind as you're driving.
990
00:54:36,825 --> 00:54:39,523
When you're racing, you
cannot think of anything else,
991
00:54:39,525 --> 00:54:41,363
but what's going on in front of you.
992
00:54:41,365 --> 00:54:43,733
It pulls everything out of your mindset.
993
00:54:43,735 --> 00:54:44,863
You're physically demanded.
994
00:54:44,865 --> 00:54:45,873
You're mentally demanded.
995
00:54:45,875 --> 00:54:49,333
There's no, in no way, can
you think of something else.
996
00:54:49,335 --> 00:54:52,213
The championship winning
drivers that we've had
997
00:54:52,215 --> 00:54:57,215
have had a clear focus, a
clear focus, a clear goal
998
00:54:57,995 --> 00:55:02,995
and a clear attitude to
perform at the highest level.
999
00:55:06,857 --> 00:55:09,255
I do
think that Jules has
1000
00:55:09,257 --> 00:55:10,088
A very impressive mental strength.
1001
00:55:10,090 --> 00:55:11,421
Since he was very young
1002
00:55:11,423 --> 00:55:14,746
He told me: "Mum, I want to win Le Mans".
1003
00:55:14,748 --> 00:55:16,446
And I said: "You will win
it if it's what you want
1004
00:55:16,448 --> 00:55:18,513
Or at least, you will do
your best to achieve it."
1005
00:55:18,515 --> 00:55:21,113
To say that to your son
will be a racing driver
1006
00:55:21,115 --> 00:55:24,883
or will be good racing driver
is not for sure, you know.
1007
00:55:24,885 --> 00:55:28,523
It depends of the talent of
the guy and the motivation
1008
00:55:28,525 --> 00:55:29,591
of the guy.
1009
00:55:29,593 --> 00:55:31,965
There a a
lot of factors in this job
1010
00:55:31,967 --> 00:55:32,800
There is the speed
1011
00:55:34,467 --> 00:55:35,300
The precision
1012
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:37,533
The stakes
1013
00:55:38,983 --> 00:55:42,293
There is a lot of pressure,
and he is able to manage that.
1014
00:55:42,295 --> 00:55:44,893
I do a lot of golf
'cause there is something
1015
00:55:44,895 --> 00:55:46,493
that is really, for me.
1016
00:55:46,495 --> 00:55:48,633
Helping me to stay calm in the race car,
1017
00:55:48,635 --> 00:55:49,813
to make the right decision.
1018
00:55:49,815 --> 00:55:51,883
As you have to do on the golf course,
1019
00:55:51,885 --> 00:55:53,263
every shot is important.
1020
00:55:53,265 --> 00:55:55,133
You don't have to lose
your focus for three,
1021
00:55:55,135 --> 00:55:57,693
four hours a bit like in a race car.
1022
00:55:57,695 --> 00:55:59,293
The sun is just hitting you.
1023
00:55:59,295 --> 00:56:00,543
You cannot do anything about it.
1024
00:56:00,545 --> 00:56:03,653
But you just try to
get acclimated with it.
1025
00:56:03,655 --> 00:56:06,583
And when you have that heat,
like in a race car, around 60,
1026
00:56:06,585 --> 00:56:09,246
65 degrees, it's really helpful.
1027
00:56:09,248 --> 00:56:11,973
When can I put the AC on again?
1028
00:56:11,975 --> 00:56:14,558
Probably not for three
laps, for three laps.
1029
00:56:18,915 --> 00:56:21,473
In the golf, you're gonna have one shot,
1030
00:56:21,475 --> 00:56:24,073
and that shot is going to determinate,
1031
00:56:24,075 --> 00:56:26,513
all the things that coming after.
1032
00:56:26,515 --> 00:56:29,423
In the car, it's the same
when you are taking a decision
1033
00:56:29,425 --> 00:56:30,623
in your race car,
1034
00:56:30,625 --> 00:56:33,793
it's going to give a lot of consequences.
1035
00:56:33,795 --> 00:56:35,803
Motor sports is a very mental sport.
1036
00:56:35,805 --> 00:56:39,613
It's a precision sport and the
mental health of the driver
1037
00:56:39,615 --> 00:56:41,115
you know, it's very important.
1038
00:56:42,285 --> 00:56:46,093
You know we take decisions
at 200 miles an hour.
1039
00:56:46,095 --> 00:56:48,163
Mentally preparing
yourself absolutely helps
1040
00:56:48,165 --> 00:56:49,703
make the right decision in the car.
1041
00:56:49,705 --> 00:56:50,733
When you're mentally prepared,
1042
00:56:50,735 --> 00:56:51,953
you're on the top of your game.
1043
00:56:51,955 --> 00:56:54,213
So your reflexes are much quicker.
1044
00:56:54,215 --> 00:56:56,298
Your decision making skills are better.
1045
00:56:59,945 --> 00:57:02,313
Ultimately you know when I'm racing now,
1046
00:57:02,315 --> 00:57:05,163
I'm trying to think of taking
an advantage of the situation,
1047
00:57:05,165 --> 00:57:09,123
rather than giving everything
at every single moment.
1048
00:57:09,125 --> 00:57:11,598
And I mostly keep myself out of trouble.
1049
00:57:12,635 --> 00:57:14,553
Normally my stints are
good because I'm able
1050
00:57:14,555 --> 00:57:17,963
to deal with traffic well
from just kind of judging
1051
00:57:17,965 --> 00:57:19,998
the best way to deal with traffic.
1052
00:57:21,085 --> 00:57:23,313
In my case, part of my,
1053
00:57:23,315 --> 00:57:25,273
the way I attack a race like that is
1054
00:57:25,275 --> 00:57:27,620
you always gotta think you can win.
1055
00:57:37,655 --> 00:57:38,753
Many people ask me,
1056
00:57:38,755 --> 00:57:40,303
how does it feel to drive at night
1057
00:57:40,305 --> 00:57:43,003
or three, four, 5:00 a.m.?
1058
00:57:43,005 --> 00:57:45,010
And you know, typically the, you know,
1059
00:57:45,012 --> 00:57:47,003
the adrenaline level is, you know,
1060
00:57:47,005 --> 00:57:49,008
it's pumping the whole race.
1061
00:57:49,895 --> 00:57:52,043
It's difficult to get sleep.
1062
00:57:52,045 --> 00:57:55,253
But also you don't really get tired
1063
00:57:55,255 --> 00:57:57,213
until the next day.
1064
00:57:57,215 --> 00:57:58,953
The track starts to get warm again.
1065
00:57:58,955 --> 00:58:02,563
So you start to feel the
heat of the, of noon,
1066
00:58:02,565 --> 00:58:05,023
that is tough on the body.
1067
00:58:05,025 --> 00:58:08,743
And you've already done, I
dunno, 18 hours of racing.
1068
00:58:08,745 --> 00:58:11,153
And that's where your body kinda starts
1069
00:58:11,155 --> 00:58:14,153
to send a signal that this is tough.
1070
00:58:14,155 --> 00:58:16,713
But you know, we work hard for it.
1071
00:58:16,715 --> 00:58:20,063
We prepare ourselves and mentally you,
1072
00:58:20,065 --> 00:58:24,213
you know, you extract every
bit of energy that you have,
1073
00:58:24,215 --> 00:58:25,828
you have inside.
1074
00:58:35,337 --> 00:58:37,016
Driver change.
1075
00:58:37,018 --> 00:58:41,633
We have a 10-second penalty
to serve for slow zone,
1076
00:58:41,635 --> 00:58:43,308
full cause yellow violation.
1077
00:58:48,125 --> 00:58:51,593
The race is seen from
Mexico, as you know.
1078
00:58:51,595 --> 00:58:54,718
Something really far difficult to achieve,
1079
00:58:55,565 --> 00:59:00,483
and Mexico is a country
that it's in, in need of,
1080
00:59:00,485 --> 00:59:02,923
of good examples of success.
1081
00:59:02,925 --> 00:59:04,893
It's a country that has great people,
1082
00:59:04,895 --> 00:59:08,093
but they also have a lot of troubles
1083
00:59:08,095 --> 00:59:09,818
and people need the inspiration.
1084
00:59:11,545 --> 00:59:14,803
At least I try with what
I do in motor sports
1085
00:59:14,805 --> 00:59:19,363
to inspire people, for people to know
1086
00:59:19,365 --> 00:59:22,023
they can achieve their
dreams at any level.
1087
00:59:22,025 --> 00:59:24,943
Not only locally, but
also internationally.
1088
00:59:24,945 --> 00:59:28,823
I've been able to lift the
Mexican flag many times
1089
00:59:28,825 --> 00:59:31,593
in the podium and that's been great.
1090
00:59:31,595 --> 00:59:36,595
And when we do this,
it's always front covers
1091
00:59:38,545 --> 00:59:40,483
in the newspapers.
1092
00:59:40,485 --> 00:59:43,274
Here we
are back in Central Fox Nitro
1093
00:59:43,276 --> 00:59:45,224
And we are pleased to introduce you
1094
00:59:45,226 --> 00:59:47,748
To one of the great figures
of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
1095
00:59:47,750 --> 00:59:49,498
The great Mexican champion Memo Rojas.
1096
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,048
Hi Memo, how are you?
1097
00:59:51,050 --> 00:59:53,447
It's a pleasure to be here,
thank you for the invitation.
1098
00:59:53,449 --> 00:59:54,289
It's our pleasure.
1099
00:59:54,291 --> 00:59:55,255
Memo, Mexico has a great tradition
1100
00:59:55,257 --> 00:59:58,397
In the 24 Hours of Le
Mans, for many reasons.
1101
00:59:58,399 --> 00:59:59,521
For the Rodriguez Brothers,
1102
00:59:59,523 --> 01:00:02,346
For all the heritage that has been there.
1103
01:00:02,348 --> 01:00:05,762
At the 24 Hours at the
La Sarthe racetrack.
1104
01:00:05,764 --> 01:00:08,262
The important thing is not to win Le Mans
1105
01:00:08,264 --> 01:00:13,128
But for Le Mans to let
you win the 24 Hours.
1106
01:00:13,130 --> 01:00:14,669
Is that true?
1107
01:00:14,671 --> 01:00:17,010
That sentence you've just said,
1108
01:00:17,012 --> 01:00:20,326
Was one of the first thing
that I heard about Le Mans.
1109
01:00:20,328 --> 01:00:21,967
Is that Le Mans chooses you
1110
01:00:21,969 --> 01:00:24,252
You don't win Le Mans, Le
Mans chooses the winner.
1111
01:00:27,195 --> 01:00:28,793
Good afternoon, everybody,
1112
01:00:28,795 --> 01:00:32,803
as we heard towards the
last three hours sprint
1113
01:00:32,805 --> 01:00:33,765
to the flag.
1114
01:01:02,133 --> 01:01:06,253
Nyck de Vries straight
off in the barrier.
1115
01:01:06,255 --> 01:01:09,535
Racing Team Nederland
they can't believe it.
1116
01:01:10,428 --> 01:01:13,917
That is straight off
the car, did not steer.
1117
01:01:20,175 --> 01:01:23,433
Driver change, 63 car, the remaining car
1118
01:01:23,435 --> 01:01:26,398
is still in victory contention.
1119
01:01:27,775 --> 01:01:30,813
Unbelievable heroics from
Nyck de Vries after the car
1120
01:01:30,815 --> 01:01:31,953
was dragged out in the gravel,
1121
01:01:31,955 --> 01:01:33,183
he's got it back into the pit.
1122
01:01:33,185 --> 01:01:35,396
And now there's trouble for Corvette.
1123
01:01:35,398 --> 01:01:37,952
Jan Magnussen is off
in the Porsche Curves.
1124
01:01:41,205 --> 01:01:43,213
So many people have made the same error.
1125
01:01:43,215 --> 01:01:44,973
Does he avoid the wall?
1126
01:01:44,975 --> 01:01:45,808
No.
1127
01:01:46,735 --> 01:01:48,773
And that might spell the end of any hopes
1128
01:01:48,775 --> 01:01:51,133
of a yellow car winning this race.
1129
01:01:51,135 --> 01:01:52,903
I guess in endurance it
really makes a difference
1130
01:01:52,905 --> 01:01:56,073
not to be one of those
people that crash a lot.
1131
01:01:56,075 --> 01:01:59,513
I think there's only so much
room for having accidents when
1132
01:01:59,515 --> 01:02:02,883
you're in endurance racing,
no matter how fast you are.
1133
01:02:02,885 --> 01:02:04,068
The prototypes are,
1134
01:02:05,595 --> 01:02:07,653
they are almost like a
bigger single seater.
1135
01:02:07,655 --> 01:02:09,623
They are heavier of course,
1136
01:02:09,625 --> 01:02:11,983
but they are extremely
fast on the straights.
1137
01:02:11,985 --> 01:02:15,903
In a certain way we have
similar amount of performance
1138
01:02:15,905 --> 01:02:16,763
on the corners.
1139
01:02:16,765 --> 01:02:19,553
They are very, very aerodynamic cars.
1140
01:02:19,555 --> 01:02:22,583
But, single seaters they
feel lighter and nimbler.
1141
01:02:22,585 --> 01:02:24,333
Prototypes they're still
a little bit heavier,
1142
01:02:24,335 --> 01:02:27,093
a little bit more built
for endurance rather than,
1143
01:02:27,095 --> 01:02:29,473
than sprint racing.
1144
01:02:29,475 --> 01:02:32,613
Although having said that we have 24 hours
1145
01:02:32,615 --> 01:02:33,573
of pushing every lap.
1146
01:02:33,575 --> 01:02:35,460
It's not like the old days where the cars
1147
01:02:35,462 --> 01:02:36,293
are the reliability issues.
1148
01:02:36,295 --> 01:02:37,126
Now the cars are so strong
1149
01:02:37,128 --> 01:02:39,683
you can just really push every lap,
1150
01:02:39,685 --> 01:02:42,525
And it feels like, it feels
like a long sprint race.
1151
01:02:43,913 --> 01:02:45,223
Going back to Monaco is,
1152
01:02:45,225 --> 01:02:47,543
from a busy race, from
busy schedule that I have
1153
01:02:47,545 --> 01:02:50,203
is actually almost like
coming back to a holiday place
1154
01:02:50,205 --> 01:02:51,683
in a certain way.
1155
01:02:51,685 --> 01:02:54,543
It's a beautiful place
so I can enjoy, you know,
1156
01:02:54,545 --> 01:02:56,063
just looking at the sea, so peaceful,
1157
01:02:56,065 --> 01:02:57,703
having, you know, a sunset.
1158
01:02:57,705 --> 01:03:02,113
It's a place where I can really
discharge and recharge again
1159
01:03:02,115 --> 01:03:06,458
with the energy for next big
round of travel and events.
1160
01:03:10,975 --> 01:03:15,193
I'm very proud to be, an
ambassador for McLaren Automotive.
1161
01:03:15,195 --> 01:03:18,523
We just recently unveiled
the McLaren Senna,
1162
01:03:18,525 --> 01:03:21,483
which is an amazing piece of engineering.
1163
01:03:21,485 --> 01:03:24,320
But also a great tribute to Ayrton.
1164
01:03:24,322 --> 01:03:28,023
Ayrton always wanted
to make a car with his,
1165
01:03:28,025 --> 01:03:29,200
with his name on it.
1166
01:03:29,202 --> 01:03:33,423
And I guess McLaren couldn't
be any better of a partner.
1167
01:03:33,425 --> 01:03:34,763
They are really the best partner
1168
01:03:34,765 --> 01:03:36,365
we could find for sure for this.
1169
01:03:37,823 --> 01:03:38,893
I went to the design studio
1170
01:03:38,895 --> 01:03:40,573
to see what they were up to there,
1171
01:03:40,575 --> 01:03:41,753
and this car was in the clay.
1172
01:03:41,755 --> 01:03:44,513
So it was like the very
early stages of development
1173
01:03:44,515 --> 01:03:45,783
and they gave me the brief of the car,
1174
01:03:45,785 --> 01:03:46,893
what you're supposed to be,
1175
01:03:46,895 --> 01:03:48,933
what you're supposed to represent.
1176
01:03:48,935 --> 01:03:51,983
And this was supposed to be
the most track-focused car
1177
01:03:51,985 --> 01:03:53,735
McLaren has ever made for the road.
1178
01:03:54,833 --> 01:03:57,883
It's super light, super
powerful, massive downforce.
1179
01:03:57,885 --> 01:04:00,953
So massive performance
figures for a road car.
1180
01:04:00,955 --> 01:04:05,672
Making an iconic road car
with Mclaren really helped so
1181
01:04:06,975 --> 01:04:09,233
much to keep Ayrton's memory,
1182
01:04:09,235 --> 01:04:12,618
his image and his legacy alive.
1183
01:04:14,445 --> 01:04:17,453
Being part of this development was a real,
1184
01:04:17,455 --> 01:04:21,460
a real high point in my career for sure.
1185
01:04:27,935 --> 01:04:32,468
It's a special car from many,
many perspectives for me.
1186
01:04:34,085 --> 01:04:36,273
I think, you know,
1187
01:04:36,275 --> 01:04:39,383
it's hard to put a description
on the feeling of having,
1188
01:04:39,385 --> 01:04:40,343
of owning this one.
1189
01:04:40,345 --> 01:04:42,273
Because it's a rare car.
1190
01:04:42,275 --> 01:04:44,068
It's a real special car.
1191
01:04:45,185 --> 01:04:46,953
It carries, of course my
family name on the back.
1192
01:04:46,955 --> 01:04:50,633
I don't think many people can
say that, apart from Ferrari.
1193
01:04:50,635 --> 01:04:54,193
But you know, it's really an achievement.
1194
01:04:54,195 --> 01:04:56,383
I'm very fortunate to have
been part of development
1195
01:04:56,385 --> 01:04:57,483
of other McLaren cars,
1196
01:04:57,485 --> 01:05:00,483
but this one is particularly
special in my heart.
1197
01:05:00,485 --> 01:05:03,595
So I'm sure that this will
be in my garage forever.
1198
01:05:25,815 --> 01:05:27,713
Ford decided to come
back into endurance racing
1199
01:05:27,715 --> 01:05:29,833
with the Ford GT program.
1200
01:05:29,835 --> 01:05:33,843
And they joined forces
with Chip Ganassi and
1201
01:05:33,845 --> 01:05:35,443
a very fast raced team,
1202
01:05:35,445 --> 01:05:37,443
and as well as very fast drivers.
1203
01:05:37,445 --> 01:05:40,513
To be a part of, you know, 12 drivers
1204
01:05:40,515 --> 01:05:42,563
that were lucky enough to
be part of that lineup.
1205
01:05:42,565 --> 01:05:44,413
You know, I think this
is was very special.
1206
01:05:44,415 --> 01:05:46,713
But you know, it's the
track, it's the speed.
1207
01:05:46,715 --> 01:05:50,443
It's the, you know, the cool
cars, it's the atmosphere.
1208
01:05:50,445 --> 01:05:53,123
It's the people. It's just everything.
1209
01:05:53,125 --> 01:05:55,243
Well, certainly to be chosen by Ford,
1210
01:05:55,245 --> 01:06:00,245
to be the team to run the
car is, was really an honor.
1211
01:06:02,085 --> 01:06:06,073
It meant a lot to Ford
motor company in 1966,
1212
01:06:06,075 --> 01:06:09,703
and it meant a lot today as
well in 2016 when we were there.
1213
01:06:09,705 --> 01:06:12,263
With what Ford did with
that whole program, you know,
1214
01:06:12,265 --> 01:06:13,983
through the course of those four years.
1215
01:06:13,985 --> 01:06:17,523
What manufacturers bring as
far as pushing the boundaries
1216
01:06:17,525 --> 01:06:19,643
to try and go back 50 years later
1217
01:06:19,645 --> 01:06:22,253
to replicate what they did in 1966,
1218
01:06:22,255 --> 01:06:25,517
is that just that concept
is cool to be a part of.
1219
01:06:32,335 --> 01:06:36,343
Chip Ganassi's goal
with the Ford program,
1220
01:06:36,345 --> 01:06:37,663
has got to be just to win.
1221
01:06:37,665 --> 01:06:40,163
Do they want to repeat
what happened before?
1222
01:06:40,165 --> 01:06:41,783
Of course they wanted to win again.
1223
01:06:41,785 --> 01:06:44,603
They wanted to dominate
just like they had before.
1224
01:06:44,605 --> 01:06:48,793
Every weekend we go to the
racetrack, it's about winning.
1225
01:06:48,795 --> 01:06:49,923
You know that's why we're in this sport.
1226
01:06:49,925 --> 01:06:52,070
If you're not winning,
I wouldn't have a job.
1227
01:06:52,072 --> 01:06:54,522
I was doing okay when I
was behind their Porsche.
1228
01:06:58,835 --> 01:07:01,413
You know, I really admire Chip and
1229
01:07:01,415 --> 01:07:05,988
his push to be the best.
1230
01:07:08,815 --> 01:07:11,773
Scott Dixon's second home
is Chip Ganassi's race shop.
1231
01:07:11,775 --> 01:07:13,533
He's been there since he's 22
1232
01:07:13,535 --> 01:07:14,953
and that's where it's cars prepared,
1233
01:07:14,955 --> 01:07:16,243
that's where their fitted for him.
1234
01:07:16,245 --> 01:07:18,153
That's where all the weights are done
1235
01:07:18,155 --> 01:07:20,643
with him inside the car.
1236
01:07:20,645 --> 01:07:23,713
Welcome to the Chip
Ganassi racing workshop.
1237
01:07:23,715 --> 01:07:27,323
This is where we do the IndyCar program,
1238
01:07:27,325 --> 01:07:30,198
and to the Ford GT program right now.
1239
01:07:31,182 --> 01:07:35,623
Le Mans 24 is absolutely
won at Le Man in France.
1240
01:07:35,625 --> 01:07:36,523
But where does it start?
1241
01:07:36,525 --> 01:07:39,403
It starts back at every
race car driver's home,
1242
01:07:39,405 --> 01:07:41,093
at all the race shops.
1243
01:07:41,095 --> 01:07:44,953
There are hundreds of people
working on all of these cars.
1244
01:07:44,955 --> 01:07:47,813
Chip Ganassi is an extremely
accomplished race team.
1245
01:07:47,815 --> 01:07:49,273
So they keep everything in house.
1246
01:07:49,275 --> 01:07:51,303
They have their IndyCar program
1247
01:07:51,305 --> 01:07:54,103
and their Ford GT program
all under the same roof,
1248
01:07:54,105 --> 01:07:56,403
working with all the same
guys and the same machines.
1249
01:07:56,405 --> 01:07:58,953
It is a equation that
they know how to win.
1250
01:07:58,955 --> 01:08:00,760
And so they keep it within that equation
1251
01:08:00,762 --> 01:08:02,562
and they do a really good job of it.
1252
01:08:06,005 --> 01:08:06,836
Lots goes on.
1253
01:08:06,838 --> 01:08:08,213
You know there's a lot of a,
1254
01:08:08,215 --> 01:08:11,328
this is where everything
is kind of coming and going
1255
01:08:11,330 --> 01:08:13,733
and getting prepped for for the season.
1256
01:08:13,735 --> 01:08:16,183
But it's always nice to see some of where
1257
01:08:16,185 --> 01:08:18,648
the team started and
some of the significant,
1258
01:08:19,625 --> 01:08:21,925
well iconic races that
they've won throughout.
1259
01:08:34,875 --> 01:08:39,493
After every win we do a
picture with a plaque that has
1260
01:08:39,495 --> 01:08:42,383
the winning driver and the chassis number
1261
01:08:42,385 --> 01:08:44,483
and the date, and what race track,
1262
01:08:44,485 --> 01:08:46,503
we won the race at.
1263
01:08:46,505 --> 01:08:48,863
The pictures go all the
way around the building,
1264
01:08:48,865 --> 01:08:49,873
come back up.
1265
01:08:49,875 --> 01:08:53,183
This is our, our second roll of pictures,
1266
01:08:53,185 --> 01:08:55,443
and it goes back around and
there's over 200 pictures
1267
01:08:55,445 --> 01:08:57,223
on the wall right now.
1268
01:08:57,225 --> 01:08:58,873
But yeah, I've been lucky
enough to be part of
1269
01:08:58,875 --> 01:09:00,624
the 100th win celebration,
1270
01:09:00,626 --> 01:09:02,613
which was in Nashville I believe.
1271
01:09:02,615 --> 01:09:04,415
And then the 200th win, which we got
1272
01:09:05,485 --> 01:09:06,873
was it was last year I think
1273
01:09:06,875 --> 01:09:07,706
Daytona?
1274
01:09:07,708 --> 01:09:11,043
We won in Daytona in the Ford GT program
1275
01:09:11,045 --> 01:09:13,863
with Richard and Ryan.
1276
01:09:13,865 --> 01:09:15,683
So what makes Scott Dixon special
1277
01:09:15,685 --> 01:09:19,273
is first and foremost, he
knows how to win races.
1278
01:09:19,275 --> 01:09:21,123
Couple that with there
are a lot of drivers
1279
01:09:21,125 --> 01:09:22,553
that know how to win races.
1280
01:09:22,555 --> 01:09:26,003
Not a lot of drivers know
how to win championships.
1281
01:09:26,005 --> 01:09:27,343
So there's a difference there.
1282
01:09:27,345 --> 01:09:29,873
Scott knows how to win championships.
1283
01:09:29,875 --> 01:09:32,953
We used to have a driver named
Alex Zanardi that was very
1284
01:09:32,955 --> 01:09:37,373
similar to Scott and
Zanardi would say Chip,
1285
01:09:37,375 --> 01:09:40,163
he'd say, I need to know when to go,
1286
01:09:40,165 --> 01:09:42,903
and I need to know when to whoa.
1287
01:09:42,905 --> 01:09:45,013
And I think Scott is the same way.
1288
01:09:45,015 --> 01:09:48,783
He knows when to push and when not to.
1289
01:09:48,785 --> 01:09:52,043
So I think, I think that's something
1290
01:09:52,045 --> 01:09:55,383
that a championship driver
and that's a quality
1291
01:09:55,385 --> 01:09:58,003
that a championship driver might have.
1292
01:09:58,005 --> 01:10:02,075
Having an athlete that you're like-minded
1293
01:10:03,005 --> 01:10:05,323
brings a lot with that.
1294
01:10:05,325 --> 01:10:10,325
A lot of that congruency
is the foundation for speed
1295
01:10:12,955 --> 01:10:16,862
and for success and for wins.
1296
01:10:22,414 --> 01:10:23,390
LMP2 battle.
1297
01:10:23,392 --> 01:10:27,015
For the lead, G-Drive
versus Signatech Alpine.
1298
01:10:27,865 --> 01:10:31,523
Brave stuff from Andre Negrao
in the Signatech Alpine,
1299
01:10:31,525 --> 01:10:33,043
in the blue 36 car.
1300
01:10:33,045 --> 01:10:35,703
He was on the dirt, filth on the tires,
1301
01:10:35,705 --> 01:10:38,093
he still managed to get down the inside
1302
01:10:38,095 --> 01:10:40,566
and he drives for the race lead.
1303
01:10:40,568 --> 01:10:43,683
Roman Rusinov in the
orange and black machine
1304
01:10:43,685 --> 01:10:45,783
now in second place.
1305
01:10:45,785 --> 01:10:50,785
Winning a 24 hour race
is more than just winning
1306
01:10:50,845 --> 01:10:54,248
a sprint race or a 200 mile race.
1307
01:10:55,245 --> 01:11:00,245
Every situation that
you've had during a season.
1308
01:11:01,955 --> 01:11:06,955
Every situation on the track,
every situation with the car.
1309
01:11:07,135 --> 01:11:10,203
Every situation with tires, engines,
1310
01:11:10,205 --> 01:11:15,008
people, competitors,
weather, track conditions.
1311
01:11:17,045 --> 01:11:22,045
Every situation that you have
during a championship run
1312
01:11:22,215 --> 01:11:26,882
of a season, you have
in 24 hours at Le Mans.
1313
01:11:28,065 --> 01:11:32,123
You cannot afford to make the
wrong decision and strategy.
1314
01:11:32,125 --> 01:11:34,013
So that's why you have to
kind of work at how am I going
1315
01:11:34,015 --> 01:11:39,015
to get to the hour 24 mark,
with least amount of errors.
1316
01:11:39,055 --> 01:11:42,558
These races are all about
reducing potential for error.
1317
01:11:43,516 --> 01:11:45,355
And for me the guy that
wins is usually the guy
1318
01:11:46,425 --> 01:11:48,673
who's made the least number of mistakes.
1319
01:11:48,675 --> 01:11:52,293
If you prepare well enough,
1320
01:11:52,295 --> 01:11:54,413
then you can cover most eventualities.
1321
01:11:54,415 --> 01:11:57,308
If you don't prepare,
then you prepare to fail.
1322
01:11:58,825 --> 01:12:01,342
Car is
ready, but it won't start.
1323
01:12:01,344 --> 01:12:02,893
Back into the garage.
1324
01:12:02,895 --> 01:12:04,938
This could cost them victory.
1325
01:12:06,625 --> 01:12:10,312
Lead up the blue car, Signatech
Alpine at Nico La Pierre.
1326
01:12:14,125 --> 01:12:15,984
Jose Maria Lopez is on pit road.
1327
01:12:15,986 --> 01:12:19,268
He has only just stopped, he's
come in after just one lap.
1328
01:12:20,165 --> 01:12:22,313
What's going on? They've
changed the right front tire.
1329
01:12:22,315 --> 01:12:24,843
Topped up with fuel away he goes.
1330
01:12:24,845 --> 01:12:29,088
Just that one tire.
1331
01:12:31,064 --> 01:12:33,065
It should be the reading
is coming from the sensor.
1332
01:12:35,221 --> 01:12:36,278
Are you sure?
1333
01:12:38,962 --> 01:12:43,962
OK, come
back slowly, come back slowly.
1334
01:12:44,062 --> 01:12:47,972
Look in his
steering, it still says puncture.
1335
01:12:47,974 --> 01:12:49,574
Have they change the wrong tire?
1336
01:12:51,215 --> 01:12:53,643
Confusion reigns at Toyota.
1337
01:12:53,645 --> 01:12:55,963
They don't know what's going
on with the number seven car.
1338
01:12:55,965 --> 01:12:56,983
Is it a sensor issue?
1339
01:12:56,985 --> 01:12:59,363
There is the number seven,
creeping back to pit.
1340
01:12:59,365 --> 01:13:03,358
Number eight takes the lead
in the final hour of the race.
1341
01:13:04,659 --> 01:13:06,278
Unbelievable scenes.
1342
01:13:07,185 --> 01:13:09,758
It's a whole team effort,
these 24 hour races.
1343
01:13:10,765 --> 01:13:12,483
The drivers can't do it on their own.
1344
01:13:12,485 --> 01:13:14,343
We can't do it without the drivers.
1345
01:13:14,345 --> 01:13:16,313
But we have to give the drivers the tools
1346
01:13:16,315 --> 01:13:17,883
where he can perform,
1347
01:13:17,885 --> 01:13:20,003
at the level that he needs to perform at.
1348
01:13:20,005 --> 01:13:23,483
If we don't give them the
tool, they can't do the job.
1349
01:13:23,485 --> 01:13:26,135
No matter if you're the
greatest driver in the world.
1350
01:13:27,015 --> 01:13:29,833
If the tires are flat, you're
not going to go very fast.
1351
01:13:29,835 --> 01:13:31,853
It sounds as
though the number seven
1352
01:13:31,855 --> 01:13:35,253
will now not win Le Mans 2019.
1353
01:13:35,255 --> 01:13:38,603
This race is so difficult
1354
01:13:38,605 --> 01:13:41,203
and so hard for the drivers,
1355
01:13:41,205 --> 01:13:44,153
for the crew members, for the engineers,
1356
01:13:44,155 --> 01:13:46,483
for the strategists, for the managers.
1357
01:13:46,485 --> 01:13:49,294
It's so hard and so difficult,
1358
01:13:49,296 --> 01:13:52,393
and that's why it's so
emotional to win this race.
1359
01:13:52,395 --> 01:13:55,533
It's a sport where one
guy makes a difference,
1360
01:13:55,535 --> 01:13:58,203
but there is a massive team behind him,
1361
01:13:58,205 --> 01:14:02,183
and it's a real, real
group sport, team sport.
1362
01:14:02,185 --> 01:14:07,185
So for me, I think the whole
thing makes it special.
1363
01:14:07,685 --> 01:14:10,119
But I guess the number one is just because
1364
01:14:10,121 --> 01:14:11,703
I love to drive the cars on its limits.
1365
01:14:11,705 --> 01:14:13,831
That's what gives me the massive pleasure
1366
01:14:13,833 --> 01:14:17,033
to be a racing driver.
1367
01:14:17,035 --> 01:14:21,132
Motor sports is just another arena
1368
01:14:21,134 --> 01:14:25,413
to show or find your limits.
1369
01:14:25,415 --> 01:14:28,803
For me, finding the ultimate lap,
1370
01:14:28,805 --> 01:14:31,913
the perfect setup or the perfect race
1371
01:14:31,915 --> 01:14:34,503
is one way of seeking perfection.
1372
01:14:34,505 --> 01:14:36,943
15 minutes from the end.
1373
01:14:36,945 --> 01:14:40,673
Maybe the number 51 Ferrari
will do what Ferrari did
1374
01:14:40,675 --> 01:14:42,613
70 years ago.
1375
01:14:42,615 --> 01:14:46,383
When they claimed their first
outright win at Le Mans.
1376
01:14:46,385 --> 01:14:47,973
It has been a really, really hard
1377
01:14:47,975 --> 01:14:51,423
and long journey to become
a professional driver.
1378
01:14:51,425 --> 01:14:53,763
This year, being able to complete again,
1379
01:14:53,765 --> 01:14:56,883
those name was something
that I was really proud of,
1380
01:14:56,885 --> 01:14:59,333
'cause I was seeing them
on TV, on the magazine.
1381
01:14:59,335 --> 01:15:01,163
And I was always dreaming that one day
1382
01:15:01,165 --> 01:15:02,453
I will be with them.
1383
01:15:02,455 --> 01:15:06,953
On the past years, I could
see that everything was done
1384
01:15:06,955 --> 01:15:09,943
by him to do the things properly.
1385
01:15:09,945 --> 01:15:11,553
It's my biggest passion.
1386
01:15:11,555 --> 01:15:13,673
I was going to sleep thinking about it,
1387
01:15:13,675 --> 01:15:15,803
waking up thinking about it.
1388
01:15:15,805 --> 01:15:18,661
So when I was in the ligne
droite des Hunaudieres
1389
01:15:18,663 --> 01:15:20,203
for the first time,
1390
01:15:20,205 --> 01:15:22,343
just behind the Ford of Scott Dixon.
1391
01:15:22,345 --> 01:15:24,683
I was like okay, I made the first step,
1392
01:15:24,685 --> 01:15:27,620
which is to do the first
time at the Le Mans.
1393
01:15:27,622 --> 01:15:30,193
Let's see if I can do
the second step later.
1394
01:15:30,195 --> 01:15:31,608
Jules, has a good head.
1395
01:15:33,235 --> 01:15:35,535
It's his first year here,
1396
01:15:35,537 --> 01:15:39,485
but I think he realizes just
how important the races is
1397
01:15:40,590 --> 01:15:43,003
for him, for his career.
1398
01:15:43,005 --> 01:15:45,735
We are a team and that's
where I like to see that.
1399
01:15:47,430 --> 01:15:51,007
I could stay in that car to sleep on it.
1400
01:15:51,009 --> 01:15:53,409
I mean, I was, that was
the best day of my life.
1401
01:15:57,215 --> 01:15:59,253
Achieving a win in Le
Mans would mean anything.
1402
01:15:59,255 --> 01:16:01,843
You know I sometimes joke
that if I win Le Mans
1403
01:16:01,845 --> 01:16:03,968
I will retire, but I don't think so.
1404
01:16:11,245 --> 01:16:12,917
You know you've got
the best in the world
1405
01:16:12,919 --> 01:16:14,793
all competing you know on that one day
1406
01:16:14,795 --> 01:16:15,903
to try and win that race.
1407
01:16:15,905 --> 01:16:19,933
And a lot of the times
it's almost impossible.
1408
01:16:19,935 --> 01:16:22,005
In motor sports you need to be good,
1409
01:16:22,007 --> 01:16:23,976
but you also need to be lucky.
1410
01:16:23,978 --> 01:16:26,762
And sometime Le Mans gets to choose.
1411
01:17:00,131 --> 01:17:03,870
Interestingly, racing is a sport that,
1412
01:17:03,872 --> 01:17:05,849
that rewards tenure.
1413
01:20:32,459 --> 01:20:36,857
Jules Gounon
is remarkably happy.
1414
01:20:36,859 --> 01:20:37,776
What a day.
1415
01:20:43,695 --> 01:20:45,958
If I hadn't been a professional driver,
1416
01:20:48,075 --> 01:20:50,188
I guess I would have been an astronaut.
1417
01:20:51,215 --> 01:20:52,403
Because when I was a kid,
1418
01:20:52,405 --> 01:20:54,283
before I wanted to be a race car driver,
1419
01:20:54,285 --> 01:20:56,623
I wanted to be an astronaut
because I was obsessed with
1420
01:20:56,625 --> 01:21:00,250
space and I said I wanted
to go to the moon so.
1421
01:21:00,252 --> 01:21:03,723
So, I think I would do, I
would be there in a spaceship.
1422
01:21:03,725 --> 01:21:04,558
Maybe.
1423
01:21:10,705 --> 01:21:13,563
I'm obviously a bit
of a geek nerd type guy.
1424
01:21:13,565 --> 01:21:15,583
So I like computers,
I like the technology,
1425
01:21:15,585 --> 01:21:16,935
I like this type of things.
1426
01:21:18,448 --> 01:21:21,478
But actually knowing exactly what I'll do.
1427
01:21:22,505 --> 01:21:24,276
It's pretty tricky.
1428
01:21:27,505 --> 01:21:28,360
You know technology is something
1429
01:21:28,362 --> 01:21:30,208
that I really love these days.
1430
01:21:31,325 --> 01:21:32,156
But yeah I dunno.
1431
01:21:32,158 --> 01:21:36,380
I'm just very happy that this worked out.
1432
01:21:42,582 --> 01:21:44,780
Jules always
pretended he wanted to be
1433
01:21:44,782 --> 01:21:45,613
an aircraft pilot
1434
01:21:45,615 --> 01:21:48,512
So believed him,
1435
01:21:48,514 --> 01:21:50,247
And he fooled us.
1436
01:21:53,629 --> 01:21:58,629
