The Unfair Advantage: A Tribute to Hurley Haywood & The Audi Quattros
Q: What was it like racing for Audi and how did the team dynamics work during the early days of the program?
Racing for Audi was a factory-team experience with intense collaboration between the American and German sides, a disciplined culture around uniforms and preparation, and close coordination with engineers and factory personnel to optimize the car's performance on every race.
IMSA: 55 years of Motorsports Influence and History (Mark Raffauf)
Q: Do you have the opportunity to work with your parents, John and Peg Bishop?
Day one, you can make every mistake you want; later we learned and grew from those lessons, and I was grateful for the guidance and directness in decisions.
IMSA: 55 years of Motorsports Influence and History (Mark Raffauf)
Q: How old were you when you started with John Bishop?
I had just turned 16 in the spring of 1974 and went on to the 24-hour races, moving into Grand Am and IMSA work in the years that followed.
Evening With A Legend: Bob Varsha
Q: If you could have driven a car at Le Mans, is there one in particular you would've liked to get behind the wheel of?
There are many favorites, with a strong pull toward the classic Jaguar cars and the overall spirit of Le Mans; it's about choosing a car that embodies the race's heritage and excitement.
Evening With A Legend: Bob Varsha
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring broadcasters, any words of wisdom for folks that might step up and one day commentate at a race like the 24?
Pursue hands-on experience, start with on-the-ground roles, and don't rely solely on formal training; get involved at local tracks and on-the-job opportunities to learn the craft.
