YouTube creator Driver61 has said there was “no convincing needed” when he was asked to take part in the Formula E Evo Sessions event held in Miami this week.
The online star, known as Scott Mansell, has a substantial following of 1.33 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, where he covers the world of motor racing with detailed analysis and technical insights. Mansell, a former racing driver himself, recently participated in an event at the Miami International Autodrome where, despite not winning a prize, he set the fastest lap time recorded over the two-day event in his Lola-Yamaha-ABT. His lap time was remarkably similar to the benchmark set by Lola’s professional driver Zane Maloney, who was assigned to coach him during the event. The competition included 11 influencers, content creators, and celebrities, each representing a Formula E team, and while official lap times will not be published, a television documentary will showcase the event in detail later on. Mansell eagerly accepted the opportunity to drive a Formula E car at the Miami event, leveraging his experience as a professional racing driver and utilizing his passion for technical and engineering aspects to adapt to the unique challenges posed by the GEN3 Evo car.
