Hello everyone and welcome to this new video
You're probably wondering where I am right now
And if you look around me and you see the desert, you probably can guess where I am
Well, I am in that city where all that happens stays there
All that happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas and I am right now in Las Vegas
And you're probably wondering why I'm here
the reason why I'm here is that I've been invited by Michelin to live a wonderful experience for two days here and
Currently I am in spring mountains
Racetrack which is 30 minutes from the city and I am surrounded by amazing
Supercars so what am I gonna do these two days? You probably know that michelin is not just about tires
michelin is a brand that embraced also food and
Feeling good. So you probably heard about the Michelin Guide which shows you the best restaurants
You probably heard about Michelin stars, and you probably heard about tablet
which is a company that Michelin bought a few years ago and
Which allows you to book hotels and all this kind of stuff, but we will see them deeply during this video
And so why am I here? because Michelin invited me and many other people from all over the world to experience
The excellence of these things so the excellence in cars and tires the excellence in food and the excellence in hotels
So my hands are itchy. I can't wait to drive
so I chose this amazing Corvette c7 Grand Sport which has
Four hundred and something a horsepower. I forgot the exact number by the way
It's you see that A stands for automatic transmissions. Of course, I'm gonna be using the shifter on there steering wheel
Look at that. How amazing it is
I Love the line in the design of this car
I love the four exhausts down there. And really I actually don't know the track
I was looking for it on the simulator, but I couldn't find it. So I'm gonna learn it now
Let's go racing by the way
There you go
Guys good that's amazing. You Like the Corvette's? Yeah, I love it. for a streetcar It's a
phenomenal car
Yeah. okay guys now that we learnt the track, let's be real men
And here we have a Corvette another one, but with manual shifter
So we're gonna drive like the old school. And another cool thing Is that installed on this car
We're gonna have an app called
Michelin Track Connect which connects to the Bluetooth sensors
Installed on the tires and allows you to monitor in real time the pressures and the temperatures of the tires
And this is great because not only it helps you to understand what's going on with your tires
But also it has an algorithm inside that after the session suggests you the correct pressures for your tire
and this is great because you know tire pressures are not always the same they depend on the
track conditions on the temperatures on the tires on the car on your
Driving so having an algorithm that tells you exactly how to adjust your pressures
It's something very important for your track days to improve your performance and your confidence with the car
Okay guys ready to do this a quick lap on the Spring Mountain racetrack
So guys as you can see on my left, we have my smartphone with the Michelin Track Connect app
Which constantly monitors the pressures and the temperatures of the tires
And this allows you to correct them. Once you finish the session in order to achieve the best
performance
Okay, guys, this is a spring mountain racetrack
Third gear here. We just touch a little bit the brakes for this long right corner
We have to bring in as much speed as possible
Late apex here. And this is a double apex corner. We get in, we go wide and
We try -- we start to accelerate here
And as soon as we see the exit full gas in order to exit as fast as we can we use all the track
here, the exit
then hard braking for this left for this right hairpin
The apex is very late here. We have to delay the cornering and then look at this
This part is amazing the car jumps here
yeah, and
then
Also another U turn left
Late apex you use all the track on the right to bring as much speed and the exit of the corner
Also here late apex we break for this 90 right
90 degrees right corner.
Yes here we push the 3rd gear to the limit
We touch the brake a little bit here
Another 90-degree right corner full gas here on the straight
Forth gear and here now as soon as I downshift it --
And then the last part here full gas on the straight
hi, hi
And after the track experience we came here to this small museum and it's nice to see that apart from the radicals
we also have some wolves car and
It's cool to see that even if I'm in the other part of the world
I see many race car that I see in Italy especially the wolf which is equipped with the Aprilia rsv4 engine
which is the same engine that I have on the griip g1 and
it's awesome to see the Italian engines the Italian components on the other part of the world and
You know
It's made me proud of it really so and after the racetrack experience we came here to this area
where they draw a small circuit
It's kind, you know
it's like a
kart circuit but made of cones and the goal here is to drive as fast as we can these Corvettes for 2 laps
They're gonna take our lap times and you know
If you hit one cone one second penalty, if you don't stop in the green area five-second penalty
So this is gonna be a real race and I want to win
Okay guys now it's time for the podium for the you know
The the short track race and I'm afraid I've lost
what was your best lap?
41 something
That something is very important, I know what you do 41 as well 41 7
we'll find out soon
I have a reputation
stop laughing, please
ok so in 5th place
with a time of 41.71
is Alberto
5th place
he had special tires, I saw
This was the worst day of my life
I'm gonna retire from racing
Yeah, I'll close the YouTube channel
The winner pays to drink twice tequila for everyone. Yeah, I like it double tequila. Yeah, stop laughing
please
Look at that I get emotional when I see it
I mean it brings me tears this
Amazing sight that we have over the city and over the fountains of bellagio that every half an hour during the day and every 15
minutes during the evening cast an amazing show and
You know
This is what I was talking about at the beginning of the video when I said that Michelin is not only about tires
For us for this experience
they booked one of the most beautiful hotel room in one of the most beautiful hotels in Las Vegas and I
Cannot actually call it a hotel room because it's bigger than my apartment. It's not a room. It's an apartment
I want to show you it sorry here, You have the living room with the sofà, with a huge television
I'm sorry for the poor light, but it's almost evening here
you have something like I don't know table for lunch breakfast dinner and
You have a tablet here that you use to request
services, like breakfast dinner to control the lights of the room to see the weather and
There's my name on it. How cool is that? here
You have a bathroom which you may say is the bathroom. Well, actually, this is the
ugly bathroom
Because the cool bathroom is just over there. So you go this way you find the bedroom
Look at that. Look at how cool it is an amazing bedroom with a wonderful sight over the city like
50-inch TV and the most cool bathroom I've ever seen and hold on. Look at that
So, why did I show you the hotel and all this kind of stuff
Because you know as for the Michelin Guide which is for restaurant
Michelin now offer something similar for the hotels if you go on their website
Tablet hotels.com which since a few years became part of the michelin group
You can find a selection of the best hotels in the world with plenty of super VIP services
And you're probably wondering why I'm talking to you about this thing
That's because Michelin through this event allowed me to give a present to you
Which is three months free on that website
So I link below the website and all the instructions to retrieve the special discount
so if you take a look at the description
You can find the link for the website and all the instructions to retrieve these three months for you
This is a French restaurant inside an Italian hotel in America doesn't make sense
And obviously to conclude this amazing day
We ended up in a fantastic restaurant and you're probably thinking that we are in a star restaurant
Well, actually there are no star restaurant in Las Vegas
So we are in Bouchon, you know is a restaurant from a very famous chef, which is Thomas Keller
Which is one of the only in the world having more than one
three-star
Restaurant so you know in Italian we say, "un nome una garanzia" in English
It's like one name one guaranty -- one guarantee
Okay, never mind, you understood
