Up and down the grid, everyone wants a selfie with the dashing seven-times Super Bowl champion (or “Lord of the Rings”, as he is often labelled on account of the number of Super Bowl winner rings he has accrued).</p> <p>He’s here because he’s a big fan of Le Mans: “This race is crazy.

The team faced “the fastest rebuild in history”, salvaging as much of the chassis as possible and repairing the Porsche 963 with new parts in under 36 hours. It was an incredible display of grit when the process usually takes three weeks.

That is something I know is important to us as investors; it’s important to Tom, as he thinks about the businesses and organisations with which he’ll be connected in his post-playing career.”</p> <p>Brady jumps in: “There are definitely sports that we love and want to be a part of for the rest of our lives, and I feel like sports have impacted me in such a positive way. Look at the way it brings so many different communities together, and I think just trying for us to continue to make an impact and stay competitive. I think sport brings out the best in people, and I think this particular team is so impressive. It’s a great underdog story.”</p> <p>The underdog label may be self-effacing. Hertz Team Jota became the first privateer team in the new “Hypercar” era (which replaced the top-flight LMP1 class from 2021) to win a race outright at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps event last time out. This victory brought the team to Le Mans with its tail up, eyeing an outright win rather than simply making up the numbers.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="4999" height="3333" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-145769" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg 4999w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=310,207 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=579,386 579w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=336,224 336w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=672,448 672w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=373,249 373w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2151994115.jpg?resize=747,498 747w" sizes="(max-width: 4999px) 100vw, 4999px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><sup>Brits Will Stevens and Callum Ilott won the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, the WEC round before Le Mans, in their Hertz Team Jota Porsche 963 (Photo by Laurent Cartalade/ Eurasia Sport Images/ Getty Images)</sup></strong></figcaption></figure></div> <p>Brady is happy to play his part, even though he is not the main cog in this team. “I love it. I pay attention to everything that we’re doing, and yeah, it’s exciting. You wish you could always be in the driver’s seat; I wish I could play quarterback my whole life, but the reality is it’s time for other people to do those things, too. But to still be involved with it and affiliated with a great team is a great place to be.”</p> <p>At 6ft 4in (193cm) tall and 16 stone (102kg), Tom Brady is not exactly built for racing cars, and although he has enjoyed karting in the past, the man some people think of as the NFL Goat (greatest of all time) does not see himself competing on track as a second career, as some other professional sportsmen have attempted. And his road car collection emphasises comfort over performance.</p> <p>“There’s not many vintage cars [in my collection],” he says, referring to classic cars generally rather than the UK definition of a vehicle built between 1919 and 1930. “I’ve got a Tesla Cybertruck, which I love. I have a Rolls-Royce Ghost that I love. And I’ve got a Ford Raptor.”</p> <p>The latest edition to his garage will bring a little more performance to the stable as he is, unsurprisingly, busy configuring a Singer restoration Porsche Turbo, although speccing the car is an ongoing process, he admits. “We’ve been talking about the colour for the last… well, for a little bit now. So many decisions to make.”</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="5472" height="3648" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-145773" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg 5472w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=310,207 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=579,386 579w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=336,224 336w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=672,448 672w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=374,249 374w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-1947489174.jpg?resize=747,498 747w" sizes="(max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><sup>A Singer DLS Turbo at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023 (Photo by Martyn Lucy/Getty Images)</sup></strong></figcaption></figure></div> <p>Brady’s pep talk before the drivers take on the Everest of endurance racing will surely hit all the right notes. He might also prove handy in the pits, it emerges, as he’s apparently an ace at removing wheels. In a series of escalating pranks with his teammate, Matt Cassel, Brady armed himself with a wheel spanner:</p> <p>“He went a little too far, so I decided to put his car up on blocks and I took all the tyres off. I put them in front of his locker and stole one of the tyres, and he couldn’t find it. He had to get car rides to and from the stadium for three days.”</p> <p>His competitive spirit shines through when asked if this meant he won the battle. “Of course it did. It ended at that point.”</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="6720" height="4480" src="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-145776" srcset="https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg 6720w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=310,207 310w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=579,386 579w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=336,224 336w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=672,448 672w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=374,249 374w, https://www.driving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/06/GettyImages-2157259237.jpg?resize=747,498 747w" sizes="(max-width: 6720px) 100vw, 6720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><sup>The #38 Hertz Team Jota of Oliver Rasmussen, Philip Hanson and Jenson Button pits during the 92nd edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours (Photo by Bruno Vandevelde/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images)</sup></strong></figcaption></figure></div> <p>In reality, Brady will stay well away from the wheel gun during the race and readily admits, “I’m going to be eating the good food up in the hospitality and enjoying the race.”</p> <p>Alas, Le Mans 2024 was not the year for Hertz Team Jota.
