The Proof of Concept

Racing Passport was there first.

One interview that captures the premise was with David Malukas, recorded near his 18th birthday when he was still climbing the Road to Indy ladder. He has since finished 2nd at the Indianapolis 500 twice.

That is the whole point. Today's Indy NXT driver is tomorrow's paddock name. 33 Dreams captures the moment before it happens.

Who Gets Interviewed

Drivers. Team owners. Instructors. Authors. Everyone connected to the dream of racing at Indianapolis. Not limited to IndyCar. Wherever the dream lives, Robert goes to find it.
