Putting Me Behind the Wheel of a Race Car?
July 3, 2007 -- Next up for me is a trip to St. Tropez to get behind the wheel of a Formula One race car, courtesy of TAG Heuer! Are they crazy?
On Sunday, I'm flying to Nice, France and then on Monday morning, we're heading for the track for some instruction on how to drive a Formula One car, then we're getting turned loose on the track! Incredible.
I predict that I will top 70 miles an hour on my first lap, then the sky's the limit.
Wish me luck.
TAG is releasing a new racing inspired series of Carrera watches. More on that later.
I had a great time with Ron Jackson at the America's Cup in Valencia. Good friends, Ron and I always have a blast. I was there along with some retailers of Girard-Perregaux and they were a fantastic group. I really enjoyed the privilege of being there to watch the America's Cup. Alinghi lost the race to Team New Zealand while were there, in a very exciting race, but they are now up 4 - 2 in the first to 5 series. I'm pulling for Alinghi, because they are Swiss.
More after my fateful Formula One drive. Maybe they will ask me to become a full time driver...
