1980s Detroit: Ford takes a look at the ever-aging Mustang, the Fox-body Mustang, of which had been on the market for nearly a decade. Sales were dropping and a change was needed, including its possible eradication. The change Ford originally intended to make would have completely rerouted the future of the beloved American pony car. Special guest (former Editor and Publisher at Autoweek, with 34 years at the brand) and car enthusiast, Dutch Mandel gives a breadth of insight from his experience as the Japanese automaker beat writer for Autoweek at the time, in addition to a look at the climate of the foreign automakers making their way into American garages, and how Detroit, and the Midwest, were well, "handling it."

Let's take you back 125 years to a cold, November, Thanksgiving day in Chicago, 1895. Early morning, with the air hovering around the 30 degree mark, six cars stand at a starting line awaiting an experience like none before in the United States, or rather the first ever "car" race recorded in the country. Lalita and Josh take you through the innovation, the conception, the stubborn and fate of that first race and the impact it would have on the consequently swelling trend and coming of what would be the automotive industry and motorsports.

The motorsports climate has shifted drastically with the COVID-19 pandemic taking over the world, which in turn shut down motorsports. But did it? Join Lalita and Josh as they talk you through the large push eRacing received in the last two months as every racing organization from iRacing leagues to Formula 1 began to take their real drivers to the simulators (or PS4 controllers) and online racing platforms. Don't forget to keep in mind your mouth and manners while online as some drivers have cost themselves not only their image, but their jobs too. And in that case, it just frees up a spot or two for the silly season having already arrived with Ferrari creating a wave of change in Formula 1.
