  • Ebbs and flows

    During the race season the podcast is really good. Off season it seems like Rossi doesn’t want to be there and Tim ends up talking more which no one wants.

  • Always enjoyable

    An always interesting racing / travel / lifestyle podcast.

    The insights that Alex and James bring frequently help explain or define what’s going on in the sport of motor racing for the fans.

    And the recent interviews with Mark Miles and then Dan Towriss (and Colton and Will) were great:?both entertaining and informative.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Newgarden, Palou, RHR, & Malukas
Q: If IndyCar decided to swap the drink that the winner gets at the Indy 500, what would you want them to swap it to?
The guests explore whether champagne remains the best celebratory drink or if a novelty alternative could be fun, reflecting the intersection of tradition and humor in endurance racing culture.
Newgarden, Palou, RHR, & Malukas
Q: Who do you think has got the World Cup?
The hosts playfully pivot to soccer knowledge, acknowledging their limited expertise and joking about defaulting to the U.S. as a safe choice, illustrating how the show blends sports talk with light banter.
Ilmor's Andy Gryczan
Q: What is Ilmore's role in IndyCar, and how is Ilmore different and the same as GM and Chevrolet in the IndyCar space?
Ilmore acts as the contract specialty house for engine development and support across Chevy-powered teams, working closely with GM on simulation, software, and calibration while being distinct from GM's broader chassis and aero resources; the collaboration ensures engine performance and reliability across the field.
Palou
Q: How do you balance competing in IMSA as the 'bonus driver' with your IndyCar program?
Palou discusses the challenge of staying prepared when split across disciplines, noting the learning curve in traffic, tire management, and track knowledge, and highlighting how IMSA experience can sharpen traffic handling and adapting driving style for different corners, which can benefit IndyCar performance in the long run.
Palou
Q: Walk us through the Phoenix incident and how your race was going before the DNF?
Palou explains it was a tough weekend with the car not feeling as tested, and describes the incident as a racing miscalculation where he didn't realize the other car was so close, leading to an on-track clash and a DNF, emphasizing the speed and chaos of oval racing and the importance of understanding car balance and spotter input in those moments.
