In this edition, we feature EDM producer Boys Noize and singer Moga Mogami from Dempagumi.inc, plus exclusive coverage of the FIA World Endurance Championship racing at Fuji Speedway.
NICKY: It's been a lifelong dream of mine to race for the legendary Corvette, and now that the opportunity has presented itself, I couldn't be happier to be a part of this incredible team. I've already won the Daytona 24 Hours and the Sebring 12 Hours with Corvette, and I'm confident we'll continue to rack up more victories in the future.
FUSION: What does it mean to you that race culture is spreading to Hollywood and that more films on motorsports are being produced?
NICKY: Yes, we're seeing more and more of Motorsports on TV, of course, with the F1 drive through survive on Netflix recently, as well as the GT Academy Nissan movie, so it's great that it's getting more exposure, and we're all very glad to be a part of it. I loved seeing this latest movie because I was there when young Martin bro was doing his first races out there on track and making a name for himself and it's very cool that it's getting the attention that it deserves now so I can only applaud and promote it and I would love for there to be even more movies around so I can't wait to see us more on TV.
AS A DRIVER I AM HONORED TO COMPETE AT THE FIA WEC AT FUJI SPEEDWAY, ITS SUCH A RUSH OF EXCITEMENT HERE
Nicky Catsburg / Chevrolet Photo done a perfect job and it was very enjoyable for me to work with them so now we have two races left the race here in Fuji and the race in Bahrain
FUSION: Discuss your sources of inspiration and what keeps you motivated to achieve what you do.
FUSION: What recommendations would you provide to someone who wishes to try their hand at driving?
NICKY: Yeah, so my inspirations have always been race car drivers who have had very long careers and do multiple things, you know in the Netherlands you have a driver you won't Blake Mullin who has always had a career that I kind of dreamed of doing all the big races and winning them as well you know you don't have to make it to F1 to have a good career so I'm very happy with where I'm at right now doing all the big GT races in the world and it always motivates me
NICKY: Yeah, I would tell anyone who wants to go into motorsport to keep chasing their dreams because it's not going to be easy because motorsport, especially in the beginning, is an expensive sport that requires some support and it's not easy to make a start but if you can dream it, you can do it and you know it wasn't easy for me either because I had many times where I thought OK, I might have to stop now but keep trying and asking all your local companies and friends and family to supoort you!
FUSION What's next for you, what are you focusing on today, and what can we anticipate from you and Corvette in the next days?
FUSION: What does it mean to you to be a part of the WEC's 6-hour Fuji speedway?
NICKY: So, Nico Veron, Ben Keating, and I won the title this year. Yeah, we basically had the dream season we started with a win in Sebring and another win in Portimo and a second place in Spa a win in Le Man and now we're in Fuji we finished before that was our worst result of the season but we did win the championship with that so we've had a dream season I mean those guys have
NICKY: As a driver, it's a dream come true to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The competition is fierce, the manufacturers are all present, and the events take place in breathtaking locations around the globe.
