In this episode of Late to Grid, we talk to Nigel Boyce, a mechanic who went from zero wheel-to-wheel experience straight into a 24-hour endurance race! Nigel shares his unique path, starting with a lifelong love for cars, graduating to autocross and time trials in his Honda Civic Si, and finally finding his track car in a Dodge Neon.

Nigel recounts the chaos of his first endurance race, including a frantic, eight-hour, last-minute drive to find a mandatory fire suppression system. He offers great advice on the mental shift from running 100% in time trials to maintaining a steady pace in endurance racing. Plus, as a mechanic, he details how his trade helps him troubleshoot everything from a blown fuse to rear suspension damage right in the paddock.

This is a great listen for anyone who wants to just get started—Nigel's best advice is simply to "just get started".
