How did you develop a passion for cars and\/or motorsports?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn short, my mother bought me a Playstation and Gran Turismo to keep my out of trouble, and it was down hill since. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nDO THE WORK NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO DO. Find enjoyment in the people you work with and around you. Have constant focus on the goal, the dream, and fuel that with your passion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nNissan R390 GT1. Close chat.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a very limited car with one road vehicle being made. An absolute beast of 90s era racing that never got its moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. If you could attend any car\/motorsports event in the world, which would you choose? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh that&#8217;s a hard one! I would say it would have to be Rs Day Japan, which celebrates my favorite car the Nissan Skyline GTR..<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5.
