I bought a Formula Race Car!

Earlier this year, after spending the last season traveling around the world and getting to experience so many different sides of motorsports, I realized just how much I wanted to take the next step from just documenting racing to actually being part of it. From IMSA paddocks to international events, every trip kept reinforcing the same feeling… I didn’t just want to film race cars, I wanted to drive one. That’s why I’m incredibly excited to finally share that we’ve partnered with Mazda Motorsports, and we also purchased our own Pro Formula Mazda race car. For anyone who grew up loving racing, this is one of those moments that doesn’t quite feel real yet. It’s a proper open wheel car with a rotary engine behind your head, and it represents a completely new chapter for us. This next season isn’t just about competition. It’s about learning, showing up to tracks and events, bringing the car to shows, and sharing the entire journey — the good, the stressful, and the exciting parts that normally happen behind the scenes. I want to bring you guys along for what it actually looks like to chase something like this. In 2026, my goal is to share more of the process, not just highlight moments, but the reality of what goes into racing and the people who make opportunities like this possible. So come along with us, and let me know what you think. And seriously… thank you for being here 🤝 #mazdamotorsportspartner I could seriously go for some subs & follow right about meow, so see the links below: Need Car Parts? - https://bit.ly/3wXOgaO AlexMartini Official site - https://bit.ly/3vZQFyC Subscribe - https://bit.ly/3kXgWr0 Instagram - https://bit.ly/3KXRGeH TikTok ► https://bit.ly/3P6Uv0d Facebook ► https://bit.ly/3M26Ssq Official Marketing Agency ► https://www.metamartini.net/ Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 0:45 - If you met me 1:00 - My Family 1:45 - Cars win over my parents 2:17 - What did we buy? 2:25 - Montage Time 2:49 - Wanting a car like this forever 3:10 - So many options 3:47 - What is a PFM? 4:57 - The 2 Main Reasons 5:26 - The 2nd big reason 6:09 - Officially Announcing the Partnership 6:40 - First Drive Impressions 7:17 - Driving at USAIR 7:43 - Lars First Impressions 8:03 - Being into cars has given me so much 8:47 - What's Next? 9:00 - Outro All music licensed through Epidemic Sound.
