      deggis4 if that’s what it takes to get a much longer, more in depth episode, then yes, absolutely. I would straight up pay to watch 2 hours of these for each race and everything it takes to race like this. It is my dream as well and I know it is unlikely it will ever happen for me so living vicariously through someone else is all I have.

    Awesome. I was so sad for him. He seemed to be so gentle, not bragging at all and really wanted to learn. He was so desperate because of the mistakes he made. You can tell the guy put A LOT of pressure on himself. I really loved the actor for the amazing playing he had and also the fact that he selected really good movies. I'm so impressed that he took so much risks to live his dream. He really get out of his confort zone.
    Congratulations Michael, you will learn as everyone and become good at it.

    Mr. Fassbender is one of my favorite actors and as a 2019 Porsche GT2 RS owner who has done some solo DE runs at the big four tracks in Fl. (Homestead, Palm Beach, Sebring and Daytona) I am a pretty big Porsche Motorsports fan and I find this series incredibly interesting. I realize he is getting professional instruction and Porsche factory support so is in a very unique and inviable position that the normal guy wanting to go racing would not have, but regardless I give him enormous credit for trying to get up to speed so quickly on the race track. Most of the other top of their class racers have been racing since they were kids and the skills and motorized muscle memories are engrained to the point that they have a great deal of knowledge and skill to lean on when moving up in class. Whereas Michael is trying to learn it in just a couple years as a middle aged adult...that is not easy at all.

Nothing against guys like Fassbender though. It's pretty cool to see him get that opportunity. Plus he's got a great race car driver name.
