With our regular show covering Drive To Survive, we delve a little deeper into sports car documentaries to cover the recently released biopic of Willy T. Ribbs.
Often referred to as the Jackie Robinson of auto racing, Ribbs' career shines a light on the uphill battle African American's must endure to break into predominantly white sports. The challenges he faced as a confident, no-nonsense black man. His flirtations with Formula One, and his ultimate goal of being the first African American to race the Indy 500.
