He opens up about juggling university, training, sponsorship calls, and simulator sessions—while chasing a seat on the international endurance circuit.From mental training and race-day rituals to late-night Mario Kart and spelling “Queensland” backwards under pressure, Alex brings a mix of self-awareness, hustle, and big ambition. He’s aiming for Le Mans. And he’s not waiting for permission.🏁 Fast cars, big dreams, and a reminder that the journey starts long before the green light.📌 Subscribe for more stories from every corner of the game.Follow us at:w: www.scoreboardpodcast.cominsta: @scoreboardpody: https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcastp: Partnership opportunities – [email protected]
