You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
Mario Andretti
Image
From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.
Mario Andretti

Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
Mario Andretti

The first time I fired up a car, felt the engine shudder and the wheel come to life in my hands, I was hooked. It was a feeling I can't describe. I still get it every time I get into a race car.
Mario Andretti
