  • Thanks!

    Thanks for taking the time for the update. Sounds like a lot of people missed the podcast. I’m in the U.S. I’d be interested to hear Dries’s (and Lawrence’s) impressions of the different IMSA tracks and the racing compared to the WEC after your first year in both. Thanks again!

  • Exceptional on and off the track

    Two very talented Belgian drivers. Brothers, but both totally different in the approach of their profession. And that is what this podcast makes so unique. Interesting stories from inside the world of motorsport. Just excellent!

    Excellent podcast, amongst the top about motor racing. Still laughing about the last episode: Dries (the BMW driver) not knowing where the blinkers are on his car 😂
