Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind.
"Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen
From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971
