Road to LeMans - Michael Fassbender

Anyone else watch this?

I know he’s a celeb, but how many cars will Porsche let him crash? So I understand, Porsche is training him (trying to) learn to race endurance in 8 months?



Looking forward to the next series

Okay - I "thought" I was going to see 1 video. I'm on episode 4 now - that is fantastic! 2 more after this one....
Edit - just watched all 6!

I'm thinking Porsche will let him crash as many cars as he can pay for?
He's certainly bending a lot of metal at each event.

I understand the wanting to race (especially Porsche's) but Le Mans?

I know I couldn't do it even with a coach. Has he even raced before?

I like this series. After a couple races he seems to improve rapidly and finishes consistently mid pack. Cool dude. Living the dream.

The hell with his racing... He's married to Alicia Vikander (Tomb raider). Clearly was born under a lucky star... (he likes to show off his abs too ;-) Overall, a good watch. I hope he brings the wife to a race at some point ;-)

He did a great narration of "1" - an updated documentary of F1 about 6-7 years ago. Wonder if that lit his flame for racing.
