Also, on the other tangent, I think we all know that money doesn't buy taste or talent. So it's good to see those guys investing some money where it matters. I spoke with a McLaren owner the other day who told me one of his best investments was track instruction. He said he knew it was time for an instructor when he was out in his Lambo on his first track day and was getting passed by "old guys in Miatas" as he put it
Up until 2013. The guy next to Prost in this picture is my boss... video is just one type of ice racing.
