Sebastien Perioche traces his penchant for car racing to his childhood. “My family was always interested in cars, and we always had nice ones,” says Perioche, who grew up in France and now lives in Miami Beach. “In my early 20s, I started go-karting, which is the first step to car racing. They’ve got these little engines and they’re low to the ground; it’s fascinating.” Perioche races whenever he gets the opportunity. As a member of the Ferrari Club, he’s invited to events around the world that allow him to slide behind the wheel of the latest model and kick up some dust.

Favorite cars: Porsche and Ferrari

Travel plans: He travels two or three times a year to races in Monaco, Canada and the Middle East.

Vacations: “I try to coordinate vacations with the Grand Prix in Monaco.”

Dream: To attend the Porsche Sport Driving School
