Driven to Compete | Meet Tina Leone - BMW driver BMW CCA
In Episode 6 of Driven to Compete Carey sat down with Tina Leone. Tina is fairly new to racing but she's done a ton of High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) and track days to improve her driving skills. And when I say she's done a ton, I mean it. It's amazing to hear how she's really dug into this. Something else to note about Tina, she's 51 just like me, and didn't start racing with the BMW CCA until just recently. So keep that in mind the next time you think you're too old. You're not and you'll agree once you hear Tina's story.
