WHO AM I? | A Car Girl Story

Hi all! So this video is a little different (=..... Since I finally revealed the awesome tech I installed in my drift build -- the Microsoft Surface Pro!! -- I wanted to share a documentary I filmed with Microsoft highlighting some of my racing career.
It's been an amazing experience working with Microsoft and I hope by sharing my story I can encourage you to hustle hard, be yourself, chase that crazy passion no matter what people say and just GO FOR IT. Whatever "IT" may be //
I didn't come from money. I didn't come from a family with a racing history. I had to learn/do/build everything from scratch. I grew up as a military kid that transferred schools almost every year, was bullied most of my life, and for many years most people would just laugh when a little girl said she was going to be a professional racecar driver one day... But I LOVED this sport so much that I truly BELIEVED I was a racecar driver, BEFORE I ever became one. I walked 100s of miles at race tracks with no ride, and went to meeting after meeting, email after email, until one day I turned my "crazy" dream into reality. I put my first deal together on my own when I was 16, and never. stopped. grinding. And I won't ever stop.
I'm stoked to be starting this new journey on youtube, building my own car for the first time and growing my youtube fam!
I hope this gives a little more insight into who I am as a person/youtuber/racer/girl who just decided to go for it.
Xx

What matters behind the wheel is nothing but the fun and skill. That’s what I love about racing. Still, even if the gender really doesn’t matter, the world needs more girls like you. Everyone’s complaining ‘bout sexism, gender differences and inequality, yet they’re living their stereotypes with full conviction. Keep on going, I love you and what you’re doing.

Even with an engineering degree she has no actual common sense of racing or how things work. When you are given a professional built race car or monster truck but don't have the fundemential abilities you end up here. I am a mechanical engineer by professional.

Stumbled onto this and showed my daughter, she's absolutely in love with motorsports and was really happy to see another girl to look up to in the field!

[@PizzWisard]

I didn't know you raced in rallycross, its one of my favourite motorsports but I rarely get the chance to watch it

You are amazing Collete, truly. My lil sis loves your 350z too, she can’t stop watching your channel!!

[@carltonjenkins7460]

Amma be honest I actually cried a lil watching this, Racing and anything to do with cars has been my passion since before I could even try and remember. My mom is very supportive of my to the point that now she's has somehow found a way to send me to a school for auto-mechanics. We don't have the funds for racing and tbh recently I just wanna give up, doors have been closing on me a lot and hope is definitely fading for me and ever actually racing , I watch you and Adam a lot because it feels like I'm right there on both you teams. I don't know why I'm commenting this because you may never see it but it is what it is, I am just happy that both you and Adam are living the dream that I can't get too. Wish you guys all the luck in the world and I love all the videos.

[@curriegaming8301]

that was the missing part! we need more people like you and vids' like this one, you really motivate people with it, i mean, you gave me the envy to try drifting, and you know, car mechanic didn't worked well for me, but now, i think i can go back to my highschool and kick it out, work 'till ultimate level, and i'll may be a pro driver, who know, i'm passionate about cars, and i want to drive, build, tune (body, engine, setups...), it's so good to be a racedriver, we learn so much, keep going

What an amazingly tough, talented, determined young woman, but also so lucky - especially in having such a supportive, loving father. I'm sure Mom is amazing too, but having a dad like that, who is so invested in seeing his little girl succeed... that is so important if we're to get more women into motorsport.

We started karting with a used dirt oval Legend SS and man did it piss people off that our first year out we were fighting for the points championship. Ended up blowing the motor late in the season due to the wrong valve seats being installed at Briggs and Stratton and got second from missing a few races. Next year came out and destroyed them every heat and every feature ;)

Not only are you an inspiration to young girls in the US, I believe you inspire young people (guys too!) the world over now. I see the joy you get from this stuff, the way you approach challenges and never give up, the way frustration or failure make you want to try harder...
