Managing a world-championship-winning machine, like Team Associated, is no mean feat. The man with the responsibility is Brent Thielke, and Brent joined me for in the commentary booth during 4WD practice at the 1/10th Offroad IFMAR Worlds at Hills Offroad RC in Sydney. We chatted about the event itself, what it takes to manage the team, working with new EP Buggy and now 4WD World Champ Marcus Kaerup, and plenty more. Big thanks to Brent for the chat, RC Race Media for the Audio, and Red RC for the episode thumbnail. Enjoy!

Just a couple of days after winning the 2025 IFMAR 2wd World Championship, Schumacher's Broc Champlin jumped into the Hybrid Landscapes commentary booth with me as 4wd practice got underway. We talked about the win, the team, his history, the emotions, and more.
