  • Generally good

    I like this show but sometimes the show description says it’s about, for example, the bmw sim cup, and then it’s like 45 minutes about indycar and then 15 minutes on bmw. A more detailed description or chapters would be a big improvement

  • Great group of real dudes

    From western australia, long time listener, first time caller! Great show, always hanging for the pod to drop each week, and catch up on the latest iracing news, indycar, IMSA and other series on the go. Would visit the tour trackside, when in the states in the future. Keep the pod coming. Not literally of course.
