Redaric Williams said he thoroughly enjoyed the competitive experience as well as learning more about the cars.

“Man, it was fun out there. This was my first time really driving a Lexus. I always saw them as more luxury cars and not as sporty, but this definitely changed my mind. That LC 500 is incredible. All of the cars are fast and fun to drive. ”

Proving that she is not only the “fastest woman alive” in the Olympics, but also a force behind the wheel, Jeter established herself during taping as as fiery competitor un-afraid to push the limits.

“Whether I am on the track or behind the wheel I love competition, I love to win,” she said. “I am a person who likes to bring energy and passion to everything I do. I also like to be that motivating force behind my teammates. Watch what I do during this competition!”
