What started as random voice messages about sim racing rigs has transformed into one of the most consistent voices in the sim racing community. As we celebrate our first anniversary, we take you behind the scenes of how three passionate sim racers built The Chicane Podcast from scratch.

The journey began when Jason received an unexpected work email from Jeff asking for sim racing advice. Those initial conversations, many recorded poolside during a Mexican vacation (with drinks flowing), evolved into something much bigger when they realized there was space for a different kind of sim racing podcast - one built on authentic conversation rather than scripted content.

When Eric joined the mix, the chemistry was undeniable. From choosing the name and designing the Nürburgring-inspired logo to navigating the challenges of recording with guests across multiple time zones, we share the unfiltered story of our evolution. Our transition from audio-only to video format marked a pivotal moment, especially when we stayed up until 3AM editing our first video episode with Constantinos from Lovely Dashboard.

What truly makes us proud isn't just surviving a year, but the incredible guests we've hosted - from Daniel Morad (two-time Rolex 24 winner) to Neil Severin and the founders behind the tools that power our rigs. Each guest has one thing in common: a genuine passion for sim racing and a down-to-earth approach that mirrors our own philosophy.

As we look ahead to year two, we're grateful for every listener who's made this journey worthwhile. Whether you're a weekly listener or just discovering us, we invite you to join our community as we continue exploring the ever-evolving world of sim racing together. And if you're heading to the Sim Gaming Expo in Chicago, come say hello - we can't wait to meet you in person!
