  • Episode 35 - Yannik Haustein

    35 episodes in, and we return to Germany. Brunswick to be more precise, as I'm joined by one of the editorial crew from Overtake.GG and RaceDepartment - my good buddy Yannik Haustein.

    We've met in person, either for work or for just being good friends, and this is another great insight into how he got bitten by the motorsport bug and how he ended up where he is now.
    Don't forget that he even has his own podcast show, SimRacingBuddies that you can even hear a couple of episodes where I make an appearance....... and use my German-speaking skills to their fullest.

    Coding and development of websites and platforms are also a crucial part of many of the internet sources we find out on the Internet these days, so it's a great chance to me to have a chat with Chris Honniball from GridFinder.

    We first finally met ad personum at the 2022 ADAC SimRacing Expo when the event went to Nürnberg just before Christmas, and we've become good friends as a result.
    He gives his welcome insight into development of websites, how feedback is crucial to their constant evolution and the process of turning ideas into reality. And there are some other cool topics we talk about in this one.
