I didn't know he did this. Great to see so many support him, I certainly do! 😀
the one i heard was michael carbender
magneto
we believe in you doing it great there!
Love this! Road to Le Mans has been such a great YouTube series! Got me into endurance racing big time!
Micheal has been a great inspiration to myself – gave me the urge to follow my dreams and start racing – never too old!
I've enjoyed Michael as an actor, Inglorious Bastards stands out for me, and Band of Brothers. Hes made the journey of a racing driver the same as many. He definitely had huge advantages that other don't. But that can be said of others too. No driver/racer is ever satisfied. If they are? their career is dead. He's genuine and honest. Kind of a modern Steve McQueen. Best of luck to him in the future of racing.
It's been amazing watching him grow but there comes a time were consistency becomes very paramount before the opportunities run out or people start walking away.
Michael 🎉🎉!!!!! Love you maaann!! Awesome interview, dying to see season 5 of road to lemans!!! Sooo happy to hear you're sticking with racing! When i see you, Richard, Sebastian, or anyone from the group, just get the biggest smile on my face!! Keep it going.
Fassbender racing? I am in!!!!
absolutely hoping to see him back in 2024 and that he finishes. Anyone know if Porsche is still doing their series covering him? have enjoyed watching the last 3 seasons.
Fassbender is half the reason I watch the ELMS. It's such a great story and it's nice to live vicariously through someone living out my dream. I hope he's back next year.
I'm a fan of this dude . Keep at it Micheal 🤘🏼🏁
Magneto is a badass! Awesome Irish actor and an even better driver! Cheers!
Keep going Michael 🇮🇪🏁
I think he would do well in gt3 if he returns, slower car and more driver aids.
All support for you buddy ❤️❗️ Let’s get back to it
His journey to Le Mans over 4 years has been captivating. Looking forward to the next chapter of this endeavor.👏
A trully gentleman
Followed your journey MF from the start and will continue to follow the great story. From an actor that does a bit of racing to a True race driver that does a bit of acting!
jiiiisus!! all the questions are so negative, he has achieved great things!
What a genuine presence he has. It's been a pleasure getting to know him and his journey.
Looking forward to more great racing from him and the team next year!
Excited to see a win in 2024!! 🤘🔥
Question is….will he be able to drive a 911 GT3 R in WEC or IMSA?
Always want to see Fassbender racing, I feel like I support him from afar in the same way I do my friends. Probably because he seems likeable, genuine and just wants to do his absolute best all the time. After watching RTLM at the beginning, it really got me back into motorsport after being bored by F1. Can't wait to see what we have coming up.
We cannot wait to see Michael Fassbender racing for European of Le Mans Series! Can't wait!
This was great, i think there should be road to winning le mans now 😊
Magneto are Racing Driver?
Cool🥳
Sign a new contract with him for the next 5 years 🙏
A class act. Looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
whilst he's crashed/spun too much probably for his own liking over these last 4 seasons of ELMS (not all of them his own fault to be fair) , regardless of whether you like him as an actor, a driver or as a person you can't deny that off the track he's been good for this series, look at road to Le Mans for example much better in more ways than a certain Netflix programme that shall remain nameless wouldn't you say
Got a big actor in da huzz
