Manfred talks about how he loves being at the track and the motorsports community.
He also shares the news he received earlier this year regarding a cancer diagnosis. The great news is that he fought and won! This serves as a great reminder that men need to get their PSA test (prostate-specific antigen test).
Manfred provides an interesting perspective that motorsports doesn't have to be obsessive as sometimes competition can sometimes overrun life. I am glad he shares this as I believe that some people get scared off thinking that it has to be all-encompassing, which it doesn't. Being at the track should be fun.
