Andrew Michel
Racing reveals the malleable spirit of a car, a solid composition of metal, glass, and wire that, on the track, transforms into something fluid—each turn a masterful sweep, crafting beauty at speed.
Driving Background
Andrew started moving fast riding motorcycles on dirt at age 6. Once he got his license he was, like a lot of guys, “a bit too reckless on the street.” When kids came, he gave up bikes and started tracking a Porsche 911, eventually racing in a spec class without stability control to gain greater mastery of motorsports.
Instructor Experience
Always a “runner” at Porsche Club of America, Andrew is now warmer and drier at ProFormance.
