Where Racing Dreams Turn Into Reality
Welcome to Dream to Drive
Dream to Drive is a groundbreaking unscripted competition series created by legendary automaker Steve Saleen and professional race car driver and entrepreneur Molly Saleen, in partnership with Long Walk Studios — a new production company founded by award-nominated producers Gia Galligani, Mark Steilen, and Kathleen Burns.
The series gives everyday dreamers and rising talents across America the chance to compete for a spot with one of motorsport’s most iconic names — and the opportunity to race on the world’s biggest endurance stage in France.
Set to premiere in 2026 on a major streaming platform (to be announced), Dream to Drive follows a national search to uncover ten standout drivers. These finalists will earn their place at the Dream to Drive Racing Academy — an elite training ground where talent is tested and future champions are made.
Blending authentic motorsport with cinematic storytelling and pop-culture energy, the series showcases intense challenges at iconic race tracks and events, capturing the raw speed, grit, and heart it takes to become a professional driver.
At the core of the story is Saleen’s historic return to endurance racing — a legacy reborn for a new generation. Season One builds to a global reveal at the world’s most prestigious endurance race, where the final drivers are introduced and one step closer to representing Team Dream to Drive.
“This is more than just racing,” says Steve Saleen. “It’s about opening the doors of motorsport to the dreamers, the underdogs — the ones who never stopped believing they had what it takes.”
The modern evolution of the Saleen legacy is led by Molly Saleen, a second-generation racer and creative force who brings a fresh, inclusive vision to the track. Molly merges design, fashion, and technology with world-class racing — having competed in NASCAR, the Saleen Cup, and other top-tier series, and holding licenses from FIA, SRO, and SCCA.
“Dream to Drive is a celebration of American ambition,” says Executive Producer Gia Galligani. “We’re not just showcasing talent — we’re discovering it. This is where new voices, new heroes, and a new future for racing begin.”
