Luca di Montezemolo

But basically, this was this race that everyone came out for and watched death.

And Enzo has a quote on this.

He loved the Mille Miglia.

He said, it is the race of the people.

One may say that the whole of Italy leans forward with her eyes on the tarred strip of roads somewhere along the course on Mille Miglia Day.

It is a day when I feel that my life is useful.

But he's the owner of the company that made the car, and there's a high death count.

And you might be wondering, like, why do the drivers, why are they okay with the death?

Why is Enzo okay with the death?

Enzo viewed this as a fundamental human expression of striving.

His comment is that one drives at high speeds in order to transcend oneself.

Yeah.

And many of the drivers would sort of echo this same thing.

Ken Miles, who is a very famous race car driver, actually on the Ford and Shelby, the US side that we'll talk about here shortly, his quote on this is, I'd rather die in a racing car than get eaten up by cancer.

And it's this idea that, look, we're going to die, but I get to feel like I live the most life by putting my life at risk and living right on the limit.

And yeah, if the Pope says you just can't do this one thing, what's the one thing you're going to be interested in doing?

It's like a

toddler.

No, as long as you don't have candy, you can do anything you want.

I didn't realize it was still a secret.
