  • An interesting podcast which is an accompany podcast to Trackside which is an American radio show where Indycar is the main topic. Kevin Lee is a great host and is well connected with key figures in the Indycar world.

  • Premiere / test episode

    Issue ~ is a good approach.

    I hope that this works out for you guys!

Willing to bet they could come up with something better than the creepy robot woman used c... more
