  • Steve Alvarez Brown | From Go-Karting as a hobby to the #1 Sim-racer in the world

    Becoming a "youtuber" has become increasingly common, but what does it take to be one of the best out there, and how do you maximise the opportunity and continue to learn from the best out there? Super_GT teaches us a lesson in making it big on YouTube and what that looks like.


    It was a privilege, and an honour to listen to one of my favourite YouTubers tell their story.

  • SPARK #58 - CAR DESIGN is it going to be RUINED by AI? | Chris Longmore Drive Design

    Car design and car designers should be worried. Programmes like mid journey can replicate a brief 10X quicker with 10X more options for people than one person can achieve at the same time. So, what does this mean for those in the industry?


    Chris and I sat down to discuss this topic as Drive Design will be made or broken by how they choose to implement the design; you see, raw talent won't cut it these days and if you want to stay afloat or on top. You need to adapt.
