For the Love of Driving
Intro
My occasional backroad drives evolved into dedicated track time at Portland International Raceway, where I discovered a genuine passion for performance driving. The progression felt natural, eventually leading me to sessions at Dubai Autodrome where I could push my skills further on an international circuit.
The track experience has sparked an interest in GT4 competition, and I'm planning to work with a coach to develop proper racing technique. There's potential to bring AI Advantage into motorsport through sponsorship, though for now I'm focused on maximizing my capabilities at PIR and Dubai.
Each car I've owned has shaped my understanding of vehicle dynamics – from my first BMW 330e, to the responsive 335i, through the instant acceleration of the Model 3 Performance, onto the balanced 440i, and now exploring the character of the Mercedes C43 AMG. Each platform has offered distinct lessons in handling and performance.
Racing provides a rare opportunity to focus solely on execution. Unlike the constant context-switching of running a company, track time demands absolute concentration on the technical aspects of driving – from braking points to corner entry speeds. It's a welcome contrast to the typical founder's schedule.
Between PIR and Dubai, I'm steadily building experience and understanding the nuances that make the difference between fast laps and consistent laps. The goal isn't just outright speed – it's developing true competency behind the wheel and extracting any business opportunities in the driving world. Ideally driving a car for a team, with AI Advantage as a sponsor is my ultimate dream, and secondary would be to do some stunt car driving for an acting role as that is also a passion of mine.
