  • Amazing podcast - feels like I’m chilling in the garage with these guys

    5 stars because I love the podcast and definitely NOT because DJ told me to. It wasn’t a threat and I know that… Did I do good DJ?

  • One of the best.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite racing podcast. Fantastic show topics and it’s very easy to listen to Tomo and DJ. I’m waiting for that merch drop though.

It's important to remind drivers that plateaus are a natural part of the learning process and to focus on finding quick wins.

The actual fastest way through any slalom is to have your minimum speed happen at the first transfer right behind the first cone and then build speed progressively so that your max speed happens at the second to last cone.
