GHiT 0648: Peter Granberg

Peter Granberg joins us this week with Vicki leading the way and Bill calling in from the road to repairing our E46 BMW race car. Peter has been racing and recently focused on competing in GridLife's Club TR time attack series. He has also begun to work with friends of the podcast at Robertson Racing and the coaching and hard work has paid off. Peter finished on the podium for the 2024 season and missed the top spot by only 0.003 seconds at the last event. How did he get here? How did the season go? Why coaching is so important? What are the plans for next season? Plus a few F&F Storytime questions. Its all in here.

DwD 0647: Do You Always Use ALL the Track

One of the things that you will often here is that you should use all of the track. While we do not disagree, there are a few situations that we discuss here that may be opportunities to improve your lap time by not using all of the available track.

DwD 0645: Curbs – Friend or Foe and How to "Use" Them

Ben is mildly obsessed with passing and speed on the track. One aspect of the track that we haven't ever really discussed in detail is the presence of curbs at certain locations around the track, mostly at corner entry, exit and the apex. Some can be friendly, others not so much. We discuss options and precautions during the episode, but most definitely remember that all curbs are not the same.

GHiT 0644: Data for "Non Data" Drivers with Matt Romanowski

There seems to be two types of drivers (and people): data people and no data people. We have both on our team and we took the opportunity to test this episode with one of our non-data people as a test subject. So, if you are a non-data person or have one you race with, this may be a great episode in utilizing data to improve.
