Adrien Herberts is not your normal 18-year old teenager.  Despite his straight-A academic performance, ability to play the violin, regional medal winning public speaking, and black belt in Shotokan Karate, one thing really sets him apart;  At 18, Adrien is a professional athlete competing against others usually 3 or 4 years his senoir, on an international stage.  Adrien is a professional race car driver, who has been racing various forms of motorsport since he was 9.  He is currently driving at the Champ Car Atlantic Level, one level below World Series Champ Car, the highest single seater racing series in North America. 
His goal has long been to make racing a career, and is closer than ever to making that dream a realization.  The major obstacle in his way is funding, as climbing the motorsports ladder is quite expensive. Champ Car Atlantic gives great TV exposure, and attracts large crowds wherever it goes, and Adrien is open to all inquires about sponsorship/funding.
