  • Best IndyCar Insight

    Between the chemistry of the hosts, the hilarious commentary, and the genuinely insightful perspectives from both the hosts and their incredible lineup of guests, this show stands above every other podcast I listen to. Tuesdays (or sometimes Wednesdays) and Thursdays have genuinely become my favorite days of the week because I know there’s a new episode waiting.

  • A part of every week

    An always interesting racing / travel / lifestyle podcast.

    Whether the guys are discussing travel plans / experience; Tim’s decorating skills for his latest apartment; astronomy; the challenges of James’ internet; the experience of raising a child (either Ben or Hazel); or the worlds of Auto Racing that they frequent. The discussion is always lively, informative and frequently amusing.

    I’m a longtime listener and look forward to every new episode.

    A great show ~ kudos to the Producer! 😊

Q: Is Rookie of the Year a primary goal for you this season, and how do you view that in context?
Armstrong clarifies that Rookie of the Year was not his initial primary objective, focusing instead on race wins and podiums. He acknowledges the competition and his learning curve, while recognizing that achieving Rookie of the Year would come with a significant financial check and be a meaningful team achievement if it happens.
Marcus Armstrong
Q: What was the moment you felt IndyCar could be a realistic path, and how did you end up with Ganassi?
He recalls noticing the IndyCar environment during a Nashville trip and being drawn to its vibe and competitiveness.

Q: What sparked the move from New Zealand to Europe, and how did that shape your career path?

The GOAT: Mario Andretti
Q: So it was just simply, what's your favorite race car that you've raced?
I would say any race car I could win a race with; basically, it can go wrong there, but I've loved many cars, including Bronner Hawk, which was a Brabham and my first rear-engine experience.
