Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Martin Janicke back on the pod
Q: Why did you choose the D-series over other Honda engine options?
Price, availability, and reliability within the Time Attack rules make the D-series attractive; the plan is to optimize rather than swap to a more expensive, more competitive K-series, which would require moving to a higher class.
Russell From Acuity
Q: What are the main challenges in onboarding suppliers like Acuity within Honda, and what's the long-term impact for racers?
Onboarding is a rigorous, process-driven effort that ensures quality and compliance; once onboarded, it expands access to race-grade parts across the community, helping racers achieve that 'oh my gosh' moment when they install a product that feels completely right.
Russell From Acuity
Q: Why did your team move toward a more modular, spherical-bearing design in the shifter, and how did that enable later developments?
The 8th-gen shifter drove us to rethink the main spherical joint; adopting a spherical bearing and improved clearance reduced friction and laid the groundwork for the 11th-gen, HRC, and Fit shifters by enabling a compact, adjustable yet reliable architecture.
Russell From Acuity
Q: Speaking of new products, what's the status on shifters for the Honda Fit and how do they relate to the 11th-gen shifter?
The Fit shifters are in design for all three generations, drawing cues from the 11th-gen shifter and the HRC variants, with a focus on plug-and-play fitment and minimal tuning so customers can bolt in and feel immediate performance gains.
Spacedog0o1 from HTAC part2
Q: Would you ever try drifting?
The guest says it's fun and acknowledges drifting's appeal but notes it's different from road racing and they are not confident about being good at bodywork needed for drift, while acknowledging the social and competitive aspects.

Frequently Asked Questions About RaceFFpod

A behind-the-scenes look at grassroots road racing with a focus on FF (front-wheel-drive) cars in Southern California. Episodes frequently center on track experiences, car builds, and racing calendars, with deep dives into chassis choices, reliability challenges, setup choices, and regional racing ecosystems.
