FFUSA Fast Friends, Episode 2 - Sebastien Bourdais

FFUSA Fast Friends, Episode 2

Sebastien Bourdais

Thursday May 22, 9pm EDT

We are honored to host about an hour with You and driving legend Sebastien Bourdais.

Following the Spa WEC round, Sebastien is returning home to Florida and attending our weekly Formula F USA meeting on Zoom!

Sebastien’s incredible career includes (https://sbourdais.com ):
— 4 Indycar Championships, 37 wins, 34 Poles
— Two years of Formula One with Toro Rosso, teammate to Sebastian Vettel
— Winner of the Big Ones in sports cars: 24 Hours of Le Mans (first Ford GT win in 47 years), Daytona 24 Hour, the 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans

After 36 years of racing, and countless miles on the limit, he is as fiercely competitive as ever.

This is a rare opportunity to get this up close and personal with a driver of Sebastien’s caliber.

Please participate; either with your questions, or to just listen in. We’ll talk about driving on the limit, the endless international travel, all of it — and get to know him as both a pro driver and a new friend.

We look forward to hearing both your voice, and his. Please note that this is open to anyone and everyone who is a fan.

I am very excited to hear from Sebastien. He is a driver I have followed for years and the opportunity to sit in on a casual racer-to-racer round table with him is outstanding! Thank you to Formula F USA for arranging and hosting this Zoom call.

Looking forward to the discussion with Sebastien. He was racing for Newman/Haas in my formative years and is one of those racing Gods to me. I have a few questions to add to the discussion that it would be interesting to hear input on...

1) If you could only drive one racecar and one track for the rest of your life, what are you picking? (must be a car and track you have driven)

2) Of races you haven’t won, what do you consider to be one of your best performances?

3) On paper, the path to a professional motorsports career can be all single make/spec racing classes (ex. Road to Indy ladder). While I can appreciate the intent of those series, a potential drawback could be drivers reaching upper levels of motorsports with a reduced ability for more open ended “driver in the loop” car development since all experience is with cars that have a theoretically limited adjustment/development window. Have you observed this to be a tangible limit in driver progression?

Thursdays @ 6 don't work for me. Any chance it was recorded? Can I get a copy?

The recording of the last hour can be found on the news page of www.formulafusa.com . Sorry but I missed the first 38 minutes - forgot to start the recording. But the last hour is just as good. It's also on our Facebook page.
