Patrick Dempsey, aka Dr. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy, is getting back behind the wheel of a Porsche race car. He’s a die hard racer who has been racing at endurance racing all over the world. He’s said that he would give up acting all together to go racing full time, but who wouldn’t right? LOL He’s been out of the seat for the past few years, but is getting back into another Porsche for the North America Porsche Endurance Challenge. It sounds like fun, and I’m jealous, but it isn’t like he just jumped in and was comfortable right out of the gate.
Watch the first in a 4-part series on his return to the series and see what you think.
