Jim Farley talks with Sir Chris Hoy on DRIVE to discuss improvement through failure, resilience, and finding joy while adapting to change. Hoy traces his path from BMX—first inspired by the film E.T.—to six Olympic gold medals in track cycling. Hoy also describes his rapid transition into motorsport, progressing from track days to Radical racing and ultimately Le Mans. He then discusses his 2023 diagnosis of stage four prostate cancer, launching Scotland’s Tour de 4 charity ride to raise funds, change perceptions, and increase PSA testing awareness, while emphasizing living in the present.
