Today I sit down with a former Racing Champion and current CEO of Dream Racing Mr. Enrico Bertaggia.

Enrico starting racing professionally in 1982 and continued for almost 25 years. After his retirement he new he didn't want to leave the racing world so he opened Dream Racing in Las Vegas.

Dream Racing gives civilians an opportunity 2 drive real race cars and Super Cars on a track.

This place is one of my favorite places in the world. To be able to drive a Ferrari 488 Pista or a Porsche GT2 RS on the track is unreal .

It was an honor to talk to Enrico and his life is very inspiring.
