Dhrapan Randhawa on the direction they want McLaren to take
I'd like to see more girls get involved. I gave a keynote at Harvard not long ago where they asked me why aren't there more women in the sports. This sim racing movement will allow that and I'd like to see more girls get into it and developing countries like Southeast Asian countries get into it. I'd love to see a Formula One champion from one of these countries in the not too distant future.
