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.

Perhaps he should now be known as Michael Fastfenderbender. Seriously, this Porsche-produced short is insightful regarding driver development and the difficulty of racing. (It ain’t just the car.) I wish Mr. Fassbender all motorsport success.

Those mistakes that just make you feel stupid are the hardest to overcome. Very interesting insights, stoked for the next episode.

Solid content. Definitely following the series.

Props to Michael for following his passions and getting out there and making it happen!!! The fact that he seems to be solid with Porsche just makes it that much cooler! Best wishes, sir, for a podium at Sarthe in an RSR!!!

Such an amazing actor. Glad to see he has the racing bug and seems pretty good!

[jkmorbo]

The genuine happiness when he said he's going back out was awesome. I really like this and I wish you guys make it a much more detailed, longer series like Netflix does with F1.

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.

Who would think Michael fassbender is good at taking fast bends

5:40 "I'm going back out? Thats fantastic!"
I wish life would give me second chance like this.

Amazing. Great cinematography, great music, raw honesty and the start of a great motorsport road. Love it.

[stevec]

This really needs to be 30mins long per episode. Most enthusiast drivers want to be where Michael is right now. But also a brutal learning environment. Epic series. Come on Porsche.

[JasonX]

A modern Le Mans movie to live up to the Steve Mc Queen classic should be made

[atIas-hugged]

Really impressed by some of his moves! Wishing him much success. I'd love to see some more onboard footage in these episodes.

[DIRBert]

Fascinating journey to watch. Remember seeing Michael Fassbender sat and chatting with the Motorsport guys in the Porsche Experience Centre @ Le Mans 24 in 2018, most likely plotting this very journey.

[alexderus]

Awesome! Big respect up for Fassbender. What a way to enjoy the fruits of his success in acting.

[cynbastercha]

Fassbender always seems so authentic and radiates such a raw honesty that you can't even hate him for having everything most men would want. I wish him fun and success on this road

[BDCMatt]

This looks like it could become a fantastic series.
