DwD 0659:  Racing in Slower Cars is GREAT
DwD 0659: Racing in Slower Cars is GREAT
We often hear discussion about racing/driving on track in faster cars. Especially concerning is when the person talking is relatively new to high performance driving and/or racing. Ben and Bill discuss many of the advantages of racing in slower cars. A central point in racing and high performance driving is getting close to the limit of the vehicle on the surface at every moment. Having a more approachable limit is often more fun as the limit is the limit, no matter where it happens to be.

The rest is up to you. We tal...

DwD 0651: Heel Toe - Part 1 We were all fascinated by a recent blog post by friend of the podcast Ian Korf on his “You Suck at Racing” blog that dealt with the efficacy of heel toe downshifting on track. We started off discussing the article and then meandered into a deeper discussion into what heel toe downshifting is and how to do it. I think we may have found something that will be a focus o...

Some can be friendly, others not so much. We discuss options and precautions during the episode, but mos...
