Imagine being your dad's shadow on track with legends...Mario Andretti, F1, Lola. Our guest, Simon Dawson, grew up with racing in his DNA and has incredible stories to share with you. As our Athenians hear from many of our STEM role models, his is also a path with many twists and turns. While he loved the racing industry his parents wanted him to take a different path. He became a professional tennis player, but the lure of racing couldn’t be denied and an opportunity to work with Ferrari brought him to the States.

Simon now leads three of the family businesses – Dawson Racing an IMSA team with the hypercar in the LMP3 class, STEMgen focused on providing sustainable STEM globally, and D3eSports a virtual Forza racing series  to engage children and adults on a gaming platform as a means of engaging community and providing educational entertainment.


Time to start the engines, let’s do this! Enjoy listening!
