Interview | Truly Adams | Young American Driver | 208 | At Fourteen, He's Running His Own Sponsorship Business

Does growing up on your family's own racetrack make the climb to Formula One any easier? 

Dick and Sabrina sit down with Truly Adams, whose family owns and operates Adams Motorsports Park in California, and who was literally sitting on his dad's lap on track before he could walk.

They get into what changed technically in the jump from a KZ shifter kart to a Formula 4 car, how Truly thinks about return on investment for the sponsors backing him, and the daily reality of a fourteen-year-old spending as much time on the phone pitching partners as he does turning laps.

There's a number in this conversation, what a season of Formula 4 actually costs, that reframes everything else he says about talent.

Whether a racetrack in the family changes that math at all is left open.
