00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.599
This week on the Eye, Racing
down Shift, key editing decisions are made

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:07.040
on air. We'll fix it and
post it will be. We won't.

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.400
We're gonna end up believing it.
We know it. We're not good at

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.119
our jobs. The boys talk about
going in Box zero. I'm twenty two,

5
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.760
just since we started recording it,
and I was freaking me out.

6
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:23.199
And Tony Kanaan tells us about the
time he first met Rank. I this

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.879
guy. Think, dude, it's
the season two Build shows to strap in.

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.920
Welcome to that. I Racing down
Shift, down her hoist, Greg

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.079
West, I'm back with the boys, Kevin, Bob and Chris Leonie.

10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:42.439
We have a great show for you
today. It's Build Week plus one.

11
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.439
Some energy. It's very energetic.
I like it fired up because we've been

12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.880
two months since we've done one,
right, so pent up it was.

13
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.640
It was. It was like a
damn bursting. I hope we have a

14
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.439
good show after that intro. That's
all I'm saying. More energy than I

15
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.439
thought anybody would have. And Build
week plus one and built well, it

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:07.159
was it was like it was really
today is Monday is like release uh you

17
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.439
know one point one of the build. Because as we'll get into it.

18
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.719
You know, we released a new
car today, this time on purpose,

19
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.799
and we'll get into that a little
bit, the Gin four stock car.

20
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.159
I'm and I racing as of three
hours ago. But anyway, what have

21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.319
we been up to for the last
month? As Kevin's wife pointed out,

22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.480
we didn't do one of these in
February. Laura listen. Laura fan of

23
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:37.439
the show listens to our podcast.
She was very upset or or just confused.

24
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.799
I don't know why she even noticed. I was pleased that we have

25
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.439
one listener, so that this mini
Yeah, but what do you guys been

26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.239
up to last month? Living the
dream? No, it's been busy here

27
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.159
at I racing for sure. Um, we're gonna put a snow tomorrow.

28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.640
No, that's not what I was
doing, but that's what we're doing tomorrow.

29
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.439
We're I fixed my snowblower this week, so that's that's good, so

30
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.840
we won't get snow now. Well, you know, well, thank you,

31
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.280
thank you for doing that, because
I don't feel like, what about

32
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.319
you, Chris, what have you
been doing? Uh? Well, Um,

33
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.960
because I am very smart and get
lots and lots of sleep. I

34
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.039
worked my fifth minute four hundred over
the past weekend as well. That was

35
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.120
that is always a great time.
Lots of fun off road things. We

36
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.120
had a we had a guy race
a limo. We had an off road

37
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680
limo. It broke, but he's
try not coming to I racing. I

38
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:38.280
need, I feel the need.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

39
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.400
They lifted a limo and they put
it on off road truck tires. It's

40
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.639
when you know you have too much
money, like you just run out of

41
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.159
things to do. It's it's one
of Pastrana's buddies. It's you know,

42
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.280
that's the car was all wrapped in
flannel. It was. It was a

43
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.080
good time. I was gonna say
that sounds like something fan Atech might do.

44
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:02.479
Yeah, the fantasy thanks that the
g T two motor in the Volkswagen

45
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.199
Van. Yeah, that's a good
time. You know, we didn't get

46
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.520
the invitation to write in that we
missed out. We did hear it,

47
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.560
Yeah, we did hear it.
I don't know if I would have gotten

48
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.479
nothing. It's a little bit scary, but Tom. The one thing I

49
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.599
forgot to mention, what's that Kevin? And the last podcast I forgot to

50
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.960
mention I was in Daytona and that
I met one of our fans, So

51
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.319
we have two fans of the pod, two fans. David Lawrence walked up

52
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.400
to me and said, hey,
are you Kevin from the podcast? I

53
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.719
was like, I am as a
matter of fact, and he's just want

54
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.080
to give him little shout out.
He loves our podcast and hopefully he'll be

55
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.520
a member soon. But he loves
listen to us, which is awesome,

56
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.120
right, why is it, David, David, Kevin dot Bobby and I

57
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.719
Racing dot com. Make sure you
get a membership from him. I hooked

58
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.439
him up when we were in Daytona, so I expect to see him online

59
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.960
very soon, very soon, hashtag
soon. All right, we'll lets bleep

60
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.319
that out our night. No,
no, I think you'll leave that one.

61
00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.000
Kevin's Kevin's name and email addresses on
the website. It's everywhere. Yeah,

62
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.759
I don't know. We just data
security meeting last week. I'm trying

63
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.479
to be careful. Well, let's
get into it. Season two on IRA

64
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.039
seeing big release for US three cars, so you added the check Oh wait,

65
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.240
four cars and then we also added
the check the track in Jerez pretty

66
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.959
excited about that. Let's just go
down the list here. As Chris has

67
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.720
nicely bulleted force. Although Chris,
just a piece of feedback. There are

68
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.439
no bullets, they're just listed.
I like bullets, you know. Yeah,

69
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.120
yeah, you get slipping a demerit
on this outline that you've done this

70
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.199
month. So there's no taving.
There's some bold. Now I'm you know,

71
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.439
I'm going back to my old outlines
right now. And uh didn't do

72
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.079
that last the last time we recorded, and you didn't complain either, So

73
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.480
well, I just thought that you
were off your game last time. And

74
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.759
now we've established a pattern. It's
a pattern. So it's a real problem

75
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.040
not to have talk. We're actually
having a talk right now. This is

76
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.319
an intervention. Yes, we're having
We're having a bulleting intervention. Yes,

77
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:11.680
the next time we'll talk about your
the what do you call it? Overemployment?

78
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.639
Oh no, I was just going
to talk about your citations. But

79
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.399
but now I'm worried because the intro
was overselling. This is really, really

80
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.160
is bad. All right, let's
get into it. So, first car

81
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.560
that came to I Racing last week, late model stock car, one of

82
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.120
Dale Junior's pet projects, showed up
in the Sundrop Livery Wi. Yeah,

83
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.439
go figure, I wonder how that
happened. But Chris tell us about it.

84
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.600
Yep, late model Stock car,
very popular in the Carolina's part of

85
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.920
the Car's Tour and their Late Model
Stock series. This car came in replaced

86
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.800
the former Chevrolet Monty Carloss at the
D class. So if you had that

87
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.000
car, you now have the new
late model Stock. If you didn't have

88
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.519
that car, then this new one's
available to purchase. But if you already

89
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.759
have the old one, it's already
been granted to you. Nice fun,

90
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.199
little short track beaten and banging.
It's got plenty of horsepower under the hood,

91
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.800
but it's also got those fiberglass body
panels save a little way. A

92
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.519
lot of different drivers driving this car, you know, real world pros.

93
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.600
Obviously, Dale Junior runs some races. Some of our nas car guys even

94
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.800
go beating and banging in this.
I think both Ryan Losa and Caden Honeycut

95
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:27.680
this year have already run races in
the Late Model Stock because the car store

96
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.040
season just opened up as a matter
of fact. So cool little car,

97
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.120
very relevant to a lot of our
oval track racers. And yeah, it's

98
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.959
definitely a blast. It's one of
the only ones that I haven't actually had

99
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.639
a chance to get behind the wheel
of yet, but it's it's high on

100
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.639
my priority list for this week.
I can't tell you how many laps and

101
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.160
we've turned at places like like Southern
or Hickory just driving this car. It

102
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.800
comes out. It has new damage
model as of today. A little hiccup

103
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.360
last week, but we have new
damage model on it today. It's got

104
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.519
AI and it is. It's a
really good time. It's already a bunch

105
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.720
of YouTube videos out. I think
the short track folks are pretty excited to

106
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.399
have a shining new piece of content
and I think this fits the bill.

107
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.319
So pretty excited about that. We
haven't had a short track car in a

108
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.480
while. So that's uh, that
was cool all right. Next on the

109
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.040
list the ray FF sixteen hundred,
very popular in Europe, specifically in the

110
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:27.120
UK. If you made you know
it from the uh you know the Formula

111
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.079
Ford Festival in Brand's Hat at Brands
Hatch runs this chassis every year. We

112
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.759
had help from a long time eracer, Max Esterson, who races it in

113
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.279
real life and is moving up the
ranks of the open wheel ladder as we

114
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.439
speak of, which a little teaser
around that we've got another piece of content

115
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.240
coming out with featuring some some thoughts
on the car from Max coming out later

116
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.879
this week. So pretty cool,
nice now. It was super popular during

117
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.600
week thirteen, saw a bunch of
real world drivers racing and racing around it.

118
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.439
We won't do any name dropping,
but there's once again plenty of clips

119
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.360
on twitch or YouTube. I think
it's just an absolute ball of fun.

120
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.399
It's not a Formula V, it's
not a skippy, it's not enough four

121
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.319
or an I Ro four. It
is just uh, it's its own beast

122
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.759
and liftoff overseer is a thing.
And you can get it sideways and get

123
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.600
the back to hang out. And
let me ask you this. I like

124
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.800
the Formula V. I race a
bit and I really like It's what's the

125
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.759
difference for me if I step into
this car? Is that faster? Slower,

126
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.879
is easier, harder? Just different? Like, what's the thing I

127
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.559
should focus? It's got about fifty
more horsepower, so it should it does

128
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.360
get at a small car. Yeah, no down force, you know,

129
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.240
no wings. Well, Formula V
doesn't have any either, right, Exactly

130
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.200
what we're doing with this car that's
interesting is is that the rookie ladder or

131
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.879
in the Rookie series along with the
Formula V. They're gonna run the same

132
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.480
tracks every single week and you can
bounce back and forth between the two of

133
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.759
them. Is they're thirty minutes offset
from each other's and you can come back

134
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.600
in the next podcast and you can
tell me what the difference is. Kevin,

135
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.559
all right, you have, but
it should I should be able to

136
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.159
do both of them them right without
too much trouble, right exactly. A

137
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.919
loves both are h patterns. But
we'll work with my paddles, but it

138
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.279
will work with your paddles. But
if you have an age pattern, you

139
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.120
can you can drive both of them
in there in their natural environment. We

140
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.440
also have a D Class series.
It's a set off thirty minutes from the

141
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.759
Skippies as well. That's open set
ups. Although there's not a lot to

142
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.159
change. It'll take it to some
bigger tracks. But yeah, it's a

143
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.600
lot of fun. I got wrecked
out of a bunch of Week thirteen races

144
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.360
in this perfect I raced yesterday.
I did. I did two races yesterday

145
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.279
and I made it a combined three
quarters of a lap. So that was

146
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.120
fun. Sounds like a U problem, but what do I know? He

147
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.080
is I ran out of talent most
likely, so yeah, a lot of

148
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.399
fun. Best part about the car
it is free. If you have an

149
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.960
Irish membership, you can jump in
the car. So get out there,

150
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.120
get driving, hop on trading paints, find a cool livery. But yeah,

151
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.679
you'll recognize Max Esterson's as one of
the defaults, so the Iracer's already

152
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.440
there. Next up on the list
we have the NAU Cleo R s V.

153
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.960
Kevin. Yeah, a new addition
to D class running the Cleo Cup

154
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.240
and the PCC of front wheel drive. Not a ton of horsepower, but

155
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.159
a fun car to throw around.
It's got fenders on us, so if

156
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.960
you have a little contact, it's
probably not too much trouble, right Greg,

157
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.879
Yeah, run into you once or
twice, but you know it wasn't

158
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:30.360
wasn't an ad or it wasn't a
perpectless accident. That's the truth. Do

159
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.120
you know in the hands of a
capable driver it will technically go faster than

160
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.879
the Max five? Well I am
clearly not that capable driver. So if

161
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.679
you know how to wheel a front
wheel drive tin top car, you in

162
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.440
theory can go faster than iron cars. They're fun. Yeah, No,

163
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.399
this one's a ton of fun.
I usually am not a front wheel drive

164
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.759
fan, but during testing, I
found myself just kind of grinning and goofing

165
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.519
off and you just you point it
where you want it to go and lift

166
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.799
off a little bit of rotate on
you and yeah, good time. Get

167
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.759
into the grass a little bit.
Just keep your foot down right, keep

168
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.519
going right. I stay on the
racetrack, Kevin, I was testing ours

169
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.320
is very important to me. Well, I was testing the dirt model and

170
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.200
I loved it on that Chris Likest, I imagine how as a rally cross

171
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.519
car, because we know you've tried
that personally one of my favorite non rally

172
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.360
cross rally cross cars is it very
goes it break. I'm gonna be honest

173
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.240
with you. We didn't do new
damage testing on the rally cross tracks.

174
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.960
You guys know what I do with
Yes two we're a damage off league because

175
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.799
none of us are good enough,
so we don't can't speak to that,

176
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.600
but I but I will say that
I will turn damage off at some point

177
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.600
and try it and if it's any
good, then Greg, I will bother

178
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.240
you about a week thirteen series.
How do I block somebody on slack their

179
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.200
way to do that. What aren't
we talking just before this that Chris said

180
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.639
that all the emails I send to
them go immediately. No, no,

181
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.919
no, no, no, that's
what I heard of the project management emails

182
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.799
that you send me blend into the
woodwork because of how much spam I get.

183
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.840
That's not what I heard. Well, you chose to hear different.

184
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.480
Well that happens. Yeah, that's
any hoop. Moving on. Then we

185
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:18.720
had the surprise edition of the Build
the New and uh officially released today Gin

186
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:26.559
four cup car throw back to the
generation four NASCAR days of seven hundred and

187
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.080
thirty three horsepower plus or minus.
So I don't even know how many of

188
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.519
it's got a lot. It's got
a lot, a whole lot of horsepowers

189
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.519
underneath the hood of it. So
true story. We accidentally updated the Archa

190
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.320
car. There's no way around it. It was a complete accident. We

191
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.279
are not that clever in our marketing
department to do such a thing. Kevin's

192
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.360
nodding right now, if you want
to do true it's true. We could

193
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.399
have done so much more with us
if we had planned, but we did

194
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.279
not plan it. It was an
accident. And uh, well, then

195
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.559
what does Bob Ross call these things. Happy accidents, happy only, happy

196
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.440
acts. There you go. So
I posted in the forum saying, oh,

197
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.360
that was an oopsie. We're gonna
revert that with the first patch.

198
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.759
And you got a lot of potatoes. I got a lot of potatoes.

199
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.480
I think I said a new record
for number. We're well over one hundred

200
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.240
potatoes. Also got screenshot of unread
it and Facebook and Twitter, and I'm

201
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:33.440
very unpopular in the the Oval community
for about a day and a half and

202
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.240
he said, oops, just kidding, gotcha, Never mind. We're gonna

203
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.440
build the car in a week,
all hands on deck. I've never seen

204
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.120
that many people working on a car
once, and uh, pretty proud of

205
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.879
what we have. That went out
today though, So we started the new

206
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.320
series for it. We got fixed
racing at the Class C level. Um,

207
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.840
they're longer races. They're like a
like a C open race. So

208
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.200
you got cautions that are on,
you're gonna have to make a few will

209
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.840
stop, you're gonna need tires,
and you're gonna have to put an egg

210
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.480
under the throttle because once again seven
hundred plus horsepower, Um, it screams.

211
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.600
So that's pretty cool. But yeah, happy accidents all all around.

212
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.240
I love it in fairness to you
though, Greg, I mean we did

213
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.360
revert the original car. They serve
different absolutely, so that's a good point.

214
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.159
I use Chris's absolute line. The
arc car went back to being the

215
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.440
arch At car today as well,
so we have that series at the Class

216
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.440
D level still fixed, no format
change. That car is what it was.

217
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.799
It's a win win, like everybody
wins. Yeah, everybody went happy.

218
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.480
Everybody had to work on it for
the last week. Sarendipitous. There's

219
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:43.360
your word of the day, sen
Yes that No in the movie are and

220
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:52.120
d I you're reading off the you're
reading it off. No, you're no

221
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.759
counting letters. But we also got
a new track, go Figure, Yeah,

222
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:03.200
yeah, which is really good.
It's in Spain, Haraz. This

223
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.080
track is um It's a rare,
rare cross between. Really good for high

224
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.759
down force cars, so you can
just put your foot to the floor and

225
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.559
trust the down force through the big
corners. But it also works really well

226
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.080
for slow little cars like the renau
Cleo, the F sixteen hundred Skippy,

227
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:26.000
the Formula v GT Fours touring cars, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. It

228
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.440
works works well with everything. I
think this is going to be a no.

229
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.639
I mean, if you don't threaten
me with a good time, think

230
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.320
of the drift videos. I'm just
saying, yeah, that's all I do.

231
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.000
I test all of content on things
it shouldn't be used on souse a

232
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.519
week thirteen tester, that's what he
is. Yes, but yeah, Haraz

233
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.440
is fantastic paid piece of content,
premium piece of content on I Racing,

234
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.440
but an absolute ton of fun.
I saw the emails coming in over the

235
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.679
weekend from all of the communities asking
to have it added to their schedules,

236
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.440
and I don't think there's much more
of a compliment. A bigger compliment you

237
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.039
can put to a piece of track
content when everybody's like, yeah, we

238
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559
need this now. Yeah, when
all the members agree, right, Yes,

239
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:15.399
that doesn't often happened. So pretty
excited between Gen four and between Harez.

240
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.559
I think we definitely had our finger
on the pulse of what the community

241
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:26.080
really wanted. So that was pretty
cool anyway. Yeah, that was a

242
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.039
bunch of other stuff as well with
the build. Uh. If you're looking

243
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.759
for more details, you can check
out the release notes on the I Racing

244
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.759
four. You know what we didn't
do, We haven't teased our guests yet.

245
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.600
I'm about to tease our guests.
Well, usually we tease it earlier.

246
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.000
This is a new format for us. Oh, I don't know what

247
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.679
to say. We have a guest
christ One this week. Chris is gonna

248
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.039
tease him. I'm gonna tease him. Well, you know the guys who

249
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.200
are friends with him. I don't. I've talked to him twice in my

250
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.320
life. What we're gonna do is
a we're not gonna edit this part out

251
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.159
because we're just silly and that's funny. B we'll tease the guests now,

252
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:02.960
and Chris will put it in the
intro. No, that's no fun well,

253
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.000
or Crystal put in that. We
were going to tease the guests and

254
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.079
then leave that out of his name
in the intro, like we have a

255
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.839
guest, we'll do that. There
you go, I just fix the we'll

256
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.559
fix it and post it'll be we
want. We're gonna end up leaving it.

257
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.319
We know it. We're not good
at our jobs, man. So

258
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.319
with all that being said, we're
a great guest. We sat down with

259
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:29.920
them on Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday
or Friday something day one of those days.

260
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:37.279
Late last week sat down with Tony
k I Racing aficionado, multiple drivers,

261
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.319
world Championship team owner yep with both
the NASCAR Cocoli Racing Series and the

262
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:51.359
Taghaier Esports super Cup. Bing got
that one wrong? What Sports Supercup,

263
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.359
Porsche tag Horror Esports super Cup.
So Tony Kna sat down with us to

264
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.799
talk all things esports, stream meaning
a little bit of stock car Brazil and

265
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.359
also him and I just made fun
of a jether pretty much the whole time,

266
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.440
and Kevin referee. So without further
ado, this sir Tony Canna.

267
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.160
All right, Kevin and I are
back with our guest this week, Anthony

268
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:21.039
Canaan. I believe that is that
correct? No, miss, did I

269
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:33.880
mispronounce that? Antoine? Great?
Okay, I think we have the run

270
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.960
guest. How did this guy get
in here? Security? Tony Cannin world

271
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:45.400
famous race car driver, e sports
racer Streamers. Yeah, well thanks for

272
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.480
making the time, Thank you.
Um all right, well let's just get

273
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.440
into it. You've been involved,
uh with I racing now for a few

274
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.000
years really since COVID and you and
I met when I kicked you out of

275
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.440
a race in a stream right such
a you know, like like I tell

276
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.920
people this story that actually you know
Kevin, there is still hope in the

277
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.480
world when two people don't get along
and they become friends. And that is

278
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.720
actually your co host. There,
you guys are inspiration Hayde's guts. I

279
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.240
said, who this guy think he
is? And we have the best,

280
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.359
greatest relationship three years later. So
yes, you did kick me out.

281
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.400
Yes, I told you that I
would never drive a race longer than twenty

282
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:36.319
minutes in my entire life on a
simulator, and here I am, so

283
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.240
yeah, what else do you want
to talk about? How many sims do

284
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.480
you have in your man cave my
main cave fully assembled? I have two

285
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:52.920
in my garage I have sticked and
one in my closet, which is the

286
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:59.319
original one that I felt heartbroken because
I started it driving on a SAM You

287
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:04.799
remember that, right inside my closet
because it was the kids couldn't get to

288
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.839
it. I had no inspiration to
I hated simulators. I said I would

289
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.759
never do this. I only do
this during COVID because we have to.

290
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.680
So yes, six seven, eight, nine sims. Actually, so that's

291
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.920
impressive as busy times and now you
are, you're streaming on Twitch how many

292
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.400
nights a week? If if if
I'm not racing seven nights a week.

293
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.519
If I'm racing, I would say
five at least five. And do you

294
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.240
do a pretty original way of handling
it because you obviously have your you know,

295
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.680
English speaking fans, but you also
have the resilience the Portuguese speaking fans,

296
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.599
and you're alternating your your streams at
this point, right, Yeah,

297
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.000
it's tough. I mean I've been
doing that through my social media forever,

298
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.920
and on stream is even worse because
you're live. So basically, if you

299
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.839
guys watch my stream, I'll welcome
everyone in Portuguese once I go live,

300
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.160
and right after that in English,
and we opened chat chats bilingual. Basically,

301
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.200
shoot me a question, you were
there the other night. We're talk

302
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.480
in English for forty minutes, and
the Brazilians don't complain, and when I

303
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:14.799
talk in Portuguese, the Americans or
English speaking don't complain, and they know.

304
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.640
That's the dynamic. I thought,
actually at the beginning was going to

305
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:26.680
hurt us because it was gonna divide
the two demographics. But really, now

306
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.519
that people got the handle of it, obviously they're there for the content,

307
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:36.680
but also they know eventually, if
something that really matters, I'll translate either

308
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.279
or if it's something that we're just
talking, then I don't that that day

309
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.279
you walked in, I said,
hey, guys, Gregs here and Portuguese

310
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.480
a Gregs from I Racing. Everybody
knew you, but then we're doing some

311
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.240
races and then I would translate every
once in a while. Some people we

312
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.200
can't assume. But I mean a
lot of people nowadays and in this day

313
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.599
and age are actually thanking me because
some of the Brazilians saying, I'm been

314
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.200
learning more English watching our guys streams
than anything else, so which is uh,

315
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.440
but it's hard, you know,
you gotta keep switching and in the

316
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.039
pronunciation it's it's different the verbs,
so it's but I mean it's being three

317
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.200
years and I think I've got a
pretty good handle of it. Yeah,

318
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.359
it's funny you mentioned switching. It's
an interesting segue. So you got really

319
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:25.240
have been involved with our our Porsche
attack Howior Porsche Sports Supercup on I Racing.

320
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.400
You've been racing in the Porsche All
Stars race for a couple of years

321
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:34.079
now, but now you've recently ventured
you have not only a Porsche team,

322
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.039
but you have an e NASCAR team, right, And you and I were

323
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.559
doing some pickup cup races the other
night to get you up to speed on

324
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.000
the NASCAR. Tell me about that. So obviously I've I've since I've got

325
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.799
extremely evolved and and and you know, into some racing. I've felt that

326
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.480
actually it's it was a pretty good
segue to give it back. I mean

327
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.799
to own a real race team to
try to put kids through the ladder.

328
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.480
It's so expensive that I don't think
I could help as many people. So

329
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.200
I built this esports team. Members
here. We have nineteen kids that we

330
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.920
helped and they raced all across.
But our top kid, I would call

331
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.519
its Gustavo. He's twenty one,
Gustavo Ario, he's almost eleven k I

332
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:25.079
rady and he qualified for past and
um he wanted to be a real race

333
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.480
car driver. Obviously, I'm still
helping him throughout his career. But and

334
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:36.359
then six months ago I got me
I'm not going to name names because you

335
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:44.079
know, but I will add AC
in Europe at the Simum Expo. And

336
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.759
I got a corner by some people
that said, hey, I have this

337
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.240
opportunity. You can own an an
E NASCAR team on the Coca Cola Series

338
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.680
on I Racing you you want it, right? So I said, wow,

339
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.039
yes, So I took that.
Obviously we all know, I mean

340
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.000
how NASCAR is popular, how this
series, How how good of a job

341
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.000
I Racing is doing with that.
I mean with the involvement of all parties

342
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.160
and Dio Junior and you know,
all the sponsors that you have. So

343
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.119
I went in and I remember talking
to Otto. I said, al too,

344
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.440
Look, I know nothing about your
series. Obviously I understand about Nascar.

345
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.160
I watched races and stuff. But
and we created a team. I

346
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.160
picked two kids from the qualifiers.
I made sure that, you know,

347
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.480
when I went higher, I didn't
want anybody. No offense to the guys

348
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.400
they were already there, but I
wanted two rookies. I want two kids

349
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:42.839
that busterre you know, behind to
make it on the qualification here, and

350
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.880
I haven't. I have Tyler and
I have Parker. Um. We got

351
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.000
great partners. I talked to seven
eleven and Micro Center. They jumped on

352
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.759
board. I mean, they're sponsoring
the car and I can help the kids

353
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:03.000
with equipment simulators. Uh and and
you know, it's been great. It's

354
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.480
a first year. So I mean
it's funny because everybody expects everybody to win

355
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.200
and you know, but the kids, I mean the first race and they

356
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.680
told them we did pretty well.
I mean last race we we struggled a

357
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.359
bit. But it's their first year
and I have no uh. I told

358
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.440
them, guys, I have no
expectations. My expectations. You guys have

359
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.759
fun learned and we're gonna build this
over the years. Same with Gustavo first

360
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:29.920
year past. I mean, you
know, people are looking at us and

361
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.720
think, who are these people?
Who's this Brazilian team? You know,

362
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.200
I mean all the you guys know
that all the the Porsche Cup teams or

363
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.960
the DT three, they're all from
Europe. They're all huge, they have

364
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.839
their own headquarters, they have there
like you. That's none. That's not

365
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.119
us. I mean my kids,
I barely. I mean I'm the one

366
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.559
that actually fund everything out of my
own pocket. In the beginning, they

367
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.279
all, I all bought them the
direct drives wheels. I mean, we

368
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.359
have to provide the tools and obviously
think about in America, it's easy,

369
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:04.119
I can just tell micro Center to
ship it. But I had to ship

370
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.759
it to Brazil pay double the taxes
because that's that's the way it works down

371
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:12.799
there. But yeah, it's being
fun. It's been nice to give it

372
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.720
back to the community a bit.
It's a lot cheaper than real racing,

373
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.880
so for me, I'm able to
help more people. I think it's it's

374
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.759
really cool that you have teams in
Both of those are kind of our top

375
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.400
two series within eye Racing, and
they're so different from each other, right,

376
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.599
I mean, as you know,
I mean you've driven all kinds of

377
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.799
stuff, so I'm not telling anything
you don't know. But is it challenging

378
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.920
to kind of manage two teams with
totally different schedules and styles or is it

379
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:48.680
just come natural because you can drive
anything you want anyway, Like v it's

380
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.839
challenging to manage people the team.
It's about people, right, It's about

381
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.400
to keep this kid's heads in the
game. I mean our late latest which

382
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.160
is Greg actually we found out yesterday
I think. But my latest addition to

383
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.839
the team, we're making an academy
and Sebastian Weldon. It's the lead of

384
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.799
that Sebastian Weldon. For people that
don't know the story, his dad,

385
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.920
Dan Weldon, was my teammate,
was my best friend. Unfortunately lost his

386
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.759
life on a race that I was
in with him in Las Vegas in twenty

387
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:23.440
eleven, so very emotional as well, but managing the kid keeping them straight,

388
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:29.160
saying hey, now you're representing a
team, it's my name, it's

389
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:33.240
our sponsors, it's your name.
One hiccup. As we know, we're

390
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.599
not going to get into details.
People can lose their jobs for things that

391
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.559
they do and say because everybody's watching, and everybody's watching you because you're racing

392
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.000
for Tony Cannon on one of the
biggest series that they have on esports.

393
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.759
So now challenging of managing the team
itself. It's I have obviously a couple

394
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.559
of guys that helped me out.
Otherwise I could do it. I'm so

395
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:02.240
busy with everything else that I do. But I think, to me,

396
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.799
it's mentoring these kids to do the
right thing. That's awesome and that's something

397
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.079
that you can bring that a lot
of these other team managers can't because they've

398
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.480
only done sim racing. They don't
know they're learning it and they're all getting

399
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.480
better at it. I've seen that
over the ten twelve years that we've been

400
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:25.200
doing these high level of esports.
But your expertise, it's a welcome edition.

401
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.640
It's awesome, um so so thanks
for being part of both of those

402
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:32.880
series. Super fun to watch and
it's cool to have you as part of

403
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.480
it. Sure, And you know, Greg mentioned I obviously, now that

404
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:41.680
I own a NASCAR a NASCAR team, I bought a NASCAR wheel and a

405
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.200
shifter and I'm going, you know, and the aster the obviously, this

406
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.160
is week thirteen. We we're having
a lot of fun doing a lot of

407
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.200
the Daytona races, you know,
trying to survive. But yeah, I

408
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.200
mean I'm getting more involved. I
wanted, you know, to be part

409
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.680
of it as well, obviously.
I mean every time I do Novo race,

410
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.839
either on I Racing in any car, obviously I do well because that's

411
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:07.799
what I've done the most. And
people always ask me, why don't you

412
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:12.559
do more ovals on I Racing.
You're only concentrating on GT three and so

413
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:17.680
I'm trying to open up my and
and that's what That's something that I've been

414
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.359
doing every Monday is nowadays when my
stream is ovals only, and we alternate

415
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.759
between you know, the'll our dash
pickup and you know Nascar. I mean,

416
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.519
we try anything there's a Novo I'm
driving awesome, Say yeah, you're

417
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.640
doing NIS as well. This year
a little bit here and there. Yeah,

418
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.920
yes, yes, so I the
other day, you remember you texted

419
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:42.599
me. I was I joined the
race with actually Tim Claus and Brian's dad,

420
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:49.720
which I actually race his sprint car
in India, and U got wreck

421
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.839
in the first lap because I think
I'm a rookie and people just wrecked me.

422
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:59.440
But yeah, I'm that's awesome.
Well, speaking of rookies and wrecking,

423
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.799
I've watched a few of the Porsche
All Star races. Um, those

424
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.920
can be a little elbows out and
bumping. You guys had a little bit

425
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.039
of fun so far, a couple
of races this year. What's it been

426
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.079
like getting to know those streamers,
the influencers? And uh, I mean

427
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.920
I think it's great. I mean, obviously we know each other from streaming,

428
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.640
right we became friends. I mean, one thing that I said that

429
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.480
I was going to complain to Pasca
is you can't put Casey or in or

430
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:33.079
in and now we're streaming. He's, you know, a NASCAR champion.

431
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.160
He's pretty good. I mean,
but you know what, but he's obviously

432
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.759
really cool and good and he makes
us better. So Greg, it's been

433
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.960
a lot of fun. I mean, one that car is one of my

434
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.680
favorite cars on I Racing. I've
driven. I've driven a lot. I

435
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:55.359
mean, I'm used to it.
I mean it's it's always fun to compare

436
00:30:55.400 --> 00:31:00.799
yourself to other streamers. And it's
been you know, hacked at times.

437
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.119
I mean last race, I didn't
finish. No, I didn't do Long

438
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.480
Beach because I was busy. But
the race before the first race, I

439
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:08.160
did really well. And then the
second race you go, thank you make

440
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.400
a couple of mistakes and and you
look terrible and then you know it is

441
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.440
what it is. But it's been
a lot of fun. I think it's

442
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:21.000
great what they're doing. We obviously
create a big hypeoo race right before the

443
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.640
big guys, and then we all
raid the channel. I think that's just

444
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:29.079
actually adding you know, that's really
smart from between Porsche and I Racing.

445
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.480
We get to do something fun and
we'll give it back to you guys,

446
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.599
and then we just raised the lavel
of you know, people they're watching and

447
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.359
then they get into it. So
it's it's a great system. I think

448
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:42.160
other people should try to other series
of I Racing should try to do the

449
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.799
same. I think maybe you should
host even more people at your house.

450
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.240
The next time. Right you had
one house, you said you have nine

451
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.960
sims, right you? Yeah,
this is the deal. So this is

452
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.720
a new project. We're probably gonna
run out of time talking about it.

453
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.160
But I bought a warehouse that It's
been my dream for a long time,

454
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:06.279
nothing related to seam racing. It
wasn't to keep my I have my twenty

455
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.039
thirteen pace car that I want,
the five hundred, and it's my Corvette.

456
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.519
I have every single trophy since I
was eight years old. Everything that

457
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:15.920
I want, my mom kept it. I put it in a box and

458
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.160
I shipped it here in America.
I have every single driver suit that I've

459
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.920
ever driven. So anyway, I
wanted to place out my man cave in

460
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:31.119
a way I have a man cave
at home. So as the sim racing

461
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:36.079
evolved, I said, well,
the place is actually big enough. So

462
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:39.720
I actually put six sims there and
it's not one hundred percent complete yet.

463
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.400
But then from after May, which
is my last my last five hundred as

464
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:52.799
an official IndyCar driver, we're gonna
I'm gonna host any twenty four hour race

465
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.799
event that we do on I Racing, any twelve hour race we're gonna do.

466
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:00.519
We're gonna do live from there,
and every driver it's gonna drive there.

467
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.599
We're gonna have camera total cameras you're
gonna see. It's gonna be it's

468
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.200
a cool project. I don't think
i've seen a couple of the big teams

469
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.559
in you they have those those headquarters
there. I haven't heard anybody that has

470
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:14.640
this in America, so I might
be claiming that I'm the first one,

471
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:21.240
but you guys are welcome to come
as well. That's amazing. That's really

472
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.440
a level, raise a level.
I mean, we had so much fun

473
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:28.240
in the All Star Race with just
two of you in the same room.

474
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.000
So I can't wait for the dayton
of twenty four next year when there's six

475
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:34.599
of you in there. I'm looking
at flights right now. I think there's

476
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.319
a direct Delta shuttle Tandy. That's
just saying it from Boston. And you

477
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.599
can stay in the house Drag you
know you and Leslie, I mean you

478
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.640
stay in the dog house, Lee, stay in the bedroom movie. I'm

479
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.400
used to being in the dog house
really perfectly. Okay, it's my natural

480
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:52.319
habits at love you, honey.
She can totally hear me upstairs, and

481
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.680
I'm I'm She's gonna ask about that
for sure. Um, all right,

482
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.680
well, let's let's talk about extreme
last night you you were debuting all of

483
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.880
our new content on the service's Week
thirteen, A lot of new stuff coming

484
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:08.400
out. What has stood out to
you? Here is one of my favorite

485
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:13.199
tracks, that's my first F one
test. Was there a lot that we

486
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:17.119
have that And then I even dragged
Rubens Barry Kello to do a Cleo race

487
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:24.119
with me and spot so fun car, you know, front wheel drive,

488
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.960
which is a completely different beast.
But I have to say, if I

489
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:34.840
have to pick my favorite one was
the form Afford. That thing is a

490
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:39.519
blast. We had a lot of
fun. But I would say if I

491
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.800
pick out of the content that you
guys came out a great job. I

492
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:50.599
mean I wasn't part of it.
On the ABS breaks on the GT three,

493
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.679
that's awesome. I mean now it's
actually it makes a lot of a

494
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.360
lot more sense. More to come
on that. By the way, that's

495
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.239
just the stage one. More to
her. But as far as content,

496
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:05.639
let's talk about I don't want to
get in tech to the technical of the

497
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:10.280
formula. Ford is a blasting.
I'll be We'll be finishing this and tonight

498
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.679
I'm streaming, and that's probably I'm
going to alternate between the pickup trucks and

499
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.639
the and the Formala Fords. Awesome, that'll be good. I think Formula

500
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.719
Ford is going to be my series. Did you race that car as you

501
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.320
were working your lamp or was I
not? I did, but not that

502
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:32.239
car, Kevin. In Brazil,
we actually the Formula Fords. It was

503
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:37.280
the same constant, but we had
wings and actually so it was a little

504
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.559
bit quicker. But um I I
started it. I never raced. I

505
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.679
my first ever test in the race
car. It was that car, that

506
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.199
exact car in Brazil, so I
but then that series was smaller in Brazil

507
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.199
and they had the older ones,
so I jumped straight in. I never

508
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:58.360
really did the festival or anything like
that. Kevin TK has been racing so

509
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:04.519
long. When he started Formula vs
were new. Wow, you guys used

510
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.239
to be friends. We were just
talking about how you know, enemies could

511
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.320
be friends and now they can be
enemies. Gonna ask me for a favor,

512
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:17.239
Oh well you can say no,
Just say no. Remember when you

513
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:22.440
called me old no? Correct?
Well, thanks for taking the time with

514
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:27.199
us today, TK, We appreciate
it. Uh looking forward to watching guys

515
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:30.760

and let you return the favor and dump

516
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.960
me and pick up cup or something
like that. But yeah, if you

517
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.360

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.280
very fast, very talented. Super

was a ton of fun, love
sitting down with t k um. Yeah.

523
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:00.920
I ended up hanging out with him
a little bit this weekend. I

524
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:02.559
got to hang out in his stream
and he wrecked me again, so that

525
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:07.639
was nice. Yeah, good times, by all. I'm very excited about

526
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.280
Kevin. You see some of his
Twitter post on the warehouse that they're building.

527
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.519
Oh my gosh, he's building a
cool facility. But he can well

528
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.960
he can do all kinds of stuff
there, but esports is one of the

529
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:21.199
things he's going to be doing there, so pretty cool. Yep. They

530
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.599
said, what do you say twenty
rigs? I don't remember the number.

531
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.880
There's a lot of rigs, a
bunch of them, so yeah, a

532
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:29.960
bunch of things to go drive.
We'll have to go out to an excuse

533
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.079
to go out there. Sounds like
a legit business trip. Yeah we can,

534
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.159
Tony. If you're listening, just
just sign off on that. Yeah,

535
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.599
Tony, we're talking about work expenses
before you got here, Kevin,

536
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:45.599
exactly. All right, let's move
on here. We're going on to esports

537
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.239
E NASCAR, COO cool I Racing
Series. This series where Tony Kanna is

538
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:52.079
it now a team owners we just
talked about Chris tell Us about it,

539
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:59.000
yep. Coke series opened up a
couple of races in February, headed back

540
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.480
to Daytona as we always do for
the season opener, and then headed to

541
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:07.400
the Milwaukee Mile and really interesting start
of the season. We had a first

542
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.639
time winner at Daytona, Tucker Mentor. So, first of all, it's

543
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:15.960
always fun when you have an unsponsored
car slide across the finish line in first

544
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.480
no matter where it is. And
then that car, Tucker Mentor, is

545
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.119
he NASCAR's cold trickle now because you
have a sponsor on the car. The

546
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:25.599
week after wasn't It wasn't quite as
bright and pink, but you know,

547
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:32.880
I like it. Always a sponsor. Everybody likes a winner, right,

548
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.440
Yeah, everybody likes a winner,
but only a couple of drivers that have

549
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:43.079
ever done that in series history,
and the first one to ever do it

550
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.920
was the first race in series history, obviously, and that was dale Er

551
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:49.079
and Hart Junior. And anytime you
get to add your name to a list

552
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:51.519
that has dale Er and Hart Junior
on it, it's a good day.

553
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:57.280
So Tucker Mentor gets the win in
that first race, manages to outdue Casey

554
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.320
Kerwin, the defending champion, go
into the line a little bit. Then

555
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:04.360
we get to Milwaukee, the first
time we've ever done a race on a

556
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.760
track that's not on the NASCAR Cup
Series schedule for points, and it ends

557
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:13.119
up being Michael Conti kicks off the
retirement tour with win. In only the

558
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.000
second race. Nick Ottinger led a
lot of the laps, Malik Ray moved

559
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.079
him out of the way and got
the lead, and then Conte uh gave

560
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:23.320
it right back a little later,
but good consolation prizes for both those guys.

561
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:28.159
Outinger ends up second, Malik is
now the points leader heading into Atlanta,

562
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:31.039
So good night for all those guys. And now we head to Atlanta,

563
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:37.320
where We've never run the superspeedway that
we configured for them in the in

564
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:40.760
the Coke Series yet, so that's
going to be a fun watch. Yeah,

565
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.800
big speeds. UH, definitely don't
want to have a snap on you

566
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:47.800
because it's big hits for sure.
I think that we need to get some

567
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.159
hats made for the winners that look
like the hats that have been going on

568
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.920
in NASCAR. William Byron's hat,
William Byron, I want one of those.

569
00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:00.480
I want a Coca Cola series hat
that big being. Where to every

570
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:05.800
marketing meeting to get me one?
Christ talk to Otto, I see the

571
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.320
king of the coach. Are you
asking me for them? Kevin, You're

572
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.280
my boss, not the other way
around. Well, I'm assigning this to

573
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.760
you. How's that that makes more
sense? There we go. Okay,

574
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:21.760
I'll send you an Assana project,
So get me a hat, Chris.

575
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:22.960
If you right click at the top
of those I did find, you can

576
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:27.480
delete them or reject them. You
can decline no, I'm not doing this,

577
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.039
not gonna do not not doing this. I know I'm I'm the only

578
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:36.679
person in this uh, on this
podcast who is not an inbox zero person.

579
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.039
Negative my hold out. What's on
my phone. No, no,

580
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:45.519
I'm going to get anxiety here the
currently ten thousand, four hundred and ninety

581
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:54.119
seven unready emails on Gmail. Um, I let's see eleven thousand, eight

582
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.039
hundred and eighty eight. You win, you win. I have twenty two

583
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.960
just since we start recording this,
and I it's freaking me out. It's

584
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:12.320
Kevin Dot Bobbitt. That's two bees
and two ts and bobb It actually three

585
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:19.320
bes friend technically. Yeah, I've
had three text messages since we've been on

586
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:23.599
this call. Greg Dot West at
I Racing Dot. That's not even nice,

587
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.840
not even nice. Oh so what's
next next? So we're going Porsche

588
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:36.280
tag where E Sports super Cup.
Mister Bobbitt, Oh, it's been quite

589
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.719
the season. Uh. Last race
was amazing. It was at Long Beach,

590
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:43.000
and Long Beach featured everything you could
imagine it featured. It was.

591
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.960
It was pretty cool and you meant
something at the hairpin? Was there something

592
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:47.880
at the hairpin? It was a
little bit of car contact. But that's

593
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.800
okay racing. I mean, if
you ever watch a real world race there

594
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:54.519
there, I mean, it happens. It's part of the deal. That

595
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:59.679
was fan selected. So we had
a vote and the fans picked that track,

596
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.639
they were probably like, we want
carnage right, and they got it.

597
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:06.320
So it was good, good race. You mentioned Casey Kerwin in the

598
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.119
Koke Series and he has been participating
in the All Star Race, which happens

599
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:14.480
right before the Pass race. And
when it was Long Beach if you don't

600
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:20.079
know Casey, Long Beach is his
favorite track of all. He was super

601
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:23.360
excited and yeah, he can drive
that track pretty well, so it was

602
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:27.000
really exciting. So a third race
of the season, so we're almost a

603
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:30.679
third of the way. Next race
is March eighteenth, I think so,

604
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:36.039
depending on two saturdays from now,
depending on when this comes out. Um

605
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.239
at Coda, so that'll be another
interesting one. A little bit more open

606
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:43.960
space around Coda than the Long Beach, more room to mess up, but

607
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.960
plenty of places to get off tracks, so there's that. Also turn one

608
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:52.039
this you know, as tight as
the hairpin basically at Long Beach. That's

609
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.880
true, that's true. Yeah,
but we've raced there before, so you

610
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.480
know it should be fine should we
could go wrong. I used to hate

611
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:00.280
Coda, and it's slowly grown on
me because we use it the test all

612
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:05.239
the time. So once once you
understand it, you know what it's all

613
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:09.079
about. It's really not bad,
but I find it challenging because so many

614
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:15.000
like through the guesses, I get
lost like like which not as many visual

615
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:16.760
references as some tracks for me anyway, But yeah, no, it can

616
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:22.280
be difficult. We have a little
bit of a crossover too with the with

617
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:28.199
the Porsche Sports Supercup Series and our
Skip Barber series with mister Pinto. Correct

618
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:34.239
yep, Diogo Pinto wins the Skip
Barber Formula EE Racing Series title. We

619
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.039
had five races with a bunch of
top young drivers battling it out for the

620
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:43.880
chance to go drive in the real
world Skip Barber Formula Race Series and uh,

621
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:45.920
you know, Diogo one of the
big names. We had some other

622
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:50.679
crossovers from other pro series. I
know Matt Boos ran a couple of them.

623
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:57.800
But we also had a legendary open
wheel racing name who's progeny I believe

624
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:05.360
participated. It's a beast. Oh
did I ruin it? No, that's

625
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.880
I was. I wanted somebody else
to job. I didn't know if you're

626
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:09.480
teeing that up or not. I
couldn't tell if you were like drawing a

627
00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:15.760
blank or if you if that was
a tea up. Sorry, i feel

628
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.000
like I'm playing NBA jam again.
I'm just throwing up Valley hoops wearing the

629
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:28.039
balcony now. Sebastids was cool to
see obviously, the Delgo is absolutely just

630
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:31.159
wheeling it out there. Pretty excited
between him and then last year's winner Elvis.

631
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:35.199
You know, did very well in
the in the Real World series this

632
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:40.559
year, but it's cool to see
how easily that the talented folks on the

633
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.800
service are being able to move those
skills into the real world. UM.

634
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.920
Obviously have things like G four's to
deal with, UM and you know,

635
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.440
the threat of actually crashing the car
that you don't just have that reset button.

636
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.519
But it's been pretty cool to see
that there's been talent that's crossed over

637
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:00.280
and and and it's doing pretty well
both on the roadside and the oval side

638
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.440
obviously. So yeah, pretty excited
about that. And that was a really

639
00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.119
cool partnership with Skip Barber. You
know, that's the second year we've done

640
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.920
that. I don't see them going
anywhere, so pretty cool, Chris.

641
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.239
We also had the Racing have I
Racing off Road Pro qualifying starting YEP.

642
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:21.400
The off Road Championship Series is coming
back once again this summer. Really excited

643
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.480
to be able to confirm that.
So if you want to go out for

644
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:28.960
it, we are. We are
kind of doing qualifying an old school way,

645
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:32.239
just like we did last year the
Pro four Open Series at Class B.

646
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.679
The top twelve drivers in points at
the end of the season who aren't

647
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:43.360
already qualified get invitations to go run
the Pro Series and we'll be running that

648
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.400
through from June through August. So
it's a blast. It's always a fun

649
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:52.800
series. We had a lot of
competitive races. Every event is that double

650
00:45:52.840 --> 00:46:00.360
feature format like it was last year, so you're essentially cramming a longer sports

651
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:06.239
Championship schedule into a very tight space. You don't really have the opportunity to

652
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:09.400
make too many mistakes. And the
two guys who were coming down to the

653
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:14.320
wire, Connor Berry and Keaton Swaying
last year, both of them, I

654
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:20.239
think both of them had fourteen top
ten finishes minimum in sixteen scored races,

655
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:23.320
which is pretty unreal when you think
about it. But it's always competitive,

656
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:28.199
it's a blast, a lot of
fun. More dirt road people get on

657
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.159
get on in there, you'll have
a fun time. Chris loves dirt road,

658
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.840
Kevin, did you know that.
I didn't. That's new, So

659
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.079
maybe we should get them to work
on some of those projects. Yeah,

660
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:42.360
like I'd be up for that adjusting
talk after this Yeah sure. Maybe new

661
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.920
cars coming to the service. We'll
talk about that at a later day and

662
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.559
time. What what moved on?
Special events? We got a lot going

663
00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:52.880
on, you know, the first
quarter of the year and I Racing.

664
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.599
There's a ton of community events.
It's the best part about I Racing,

665
00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:01.639
in my personal opinion, is because
anybody can compete in almost all of our

666
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:07.159
events. That's pretty that's pretty cool. So we've got curvintik Us back.

667
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.800
They've kicked off this season. Those
are twelve hour races. We do them

668
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.480
four times a year. Uh,
that are matched up with a twenty four

669
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:19.719
hour series over in Europe. So
a lot of good GT racing multi class.

670
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:22.400
First race was at Spa. We're
gonna go to Manza in May.

671
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.559
But yeah, get with your friends
and go out and race. It is

672
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:30.280
an absolute ball of fun. If
you don't believe me, just look at

673
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.079
our social media from the weekend.
So many clips, all the the car

674
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:38.280
painters doing one off liveries for the
event. It's one of the best series

675
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:40.920
that we have on the service,
so plenty of time to prep for it.

676
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.639
Uh. Then also speaking of other
great series with a great partner,

677
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:53.119
BMW is Uh, that's Game sim
Cup. I just doubled year allowed because

678
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.719
we run the series three years now
and every year that every year it's changed.

679
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.920
It's don't have much. Yeah.
Well, I was like, is

680
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.239
that a typo and the bullets?
But no, Chris, Chris is on

681
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:06.719
it. That was miss nake n
ears. I don't know why I didn't

682
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:09.559
just trust you, Chris. I
apologize. You can't get past the fact

683
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:14.760
that I didn't put actual bullets.
There's not bullets. If there's not Mario,

684
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:19.400
well super Mario bullets next time.
Actually, that would be funny.

685
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:24.880
What is the big bullet guy in
Mario? Oh you know I'm talking talking

686
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:30.760
about I know what you're talking about, but I don't I'll google it anyway.

687
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.800
So BMW M SIM Cup back at
Seabring this week. So those are

688
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.639
two our team races, So go
find a friend. You do have to

689
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.440
have a driver change, so it's
not really a test of endurance. It's

690
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.400
just a cool team event. We
have an I Racing is featuring the BMW

691
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.119
M Hybrid V eight also knows the
the GTP car the races, and M

692
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:53.599
so pretty excited about that. It
also has the BMW uh IM four GT

693
00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:58.199
three as the other. Got them
both, got them both. Good job

694
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:00.599
And that wasn't even on the cheech. I was just off the top of

695
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:06.679
my head. I nailed it.
I'm the best bullet Bill by the way,

696
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.679
bullet Bill, bullet I need.
I need to find a guy in

697
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:14.239
one of the leagues I race in
named Bill so I can change his nickname

698
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:20.519
to that. I like a little
alliteration. Yes, just saying. And

699
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:24.519
then next week we've got to the
Sebring twelve hour. Also obviously obviously at

700
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:29.039
Seabring, the real world event is
this weekend, and we followed up.

701
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:31.639
This is the one we usually run
beforehand, but we run after because build

702
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:35.639
week was in the way. But
yeah, and that will feature the GTP

703
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.440
class of the aforementioned BMW in Hybrid
V eight. We have the LMP two

704
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:44.880
class with a Lara P two seventeen
LMP two and then a myriad of GTP

705
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.559
slash GT three cars. There's six
of those in there that I'm not gonna

706
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:52.440
go list off. You know what, they are. We'll have bop out

707
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.320
by the end of the week for
the GTP or for the GTD class.

708
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.519
So yeah, it should be a
good time. Nice. This is the

709
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:06.239
vocabulary word edition of the podcast.
Kevin raised his hand. He did raise

710
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:07.559
his hands. Oh ahead, Chris, you can finish the vocabulary thing.

711
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:14.000
Huh progeny, serendipitous. Oh you're
right, yeah, all words I can't

712
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.559
spell. This is educational podcast.
Can we change one of our tags?

713
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.719
I'll try it and see what happened. Okay, yes, put us under

714
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.280
educational place. Thank you. I
just wanted to give a final shout out

715
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:31.480
to a great partner because I'm wearing
a Trading Paint shirt, which is probably

716
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:37.800
I think there's a crumb on there
at cheeto from lunch. Anyway, that's

717
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:39.239
not what I wanted to deal the
shout out for. It's too good.

718
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.679
I'm like crying. The shout out
was. They make the nicest T shirts

719
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:46.960
ever. They're super soft. So
thank you Trading Paints sending us a box

720
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.239
of goodies. I may have kept
almost all of them from myself. Yeah,

721
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.840
Steve Lavender, not only does he
make a cool piece of software.

722
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:57.599
Oh yeah, that's cool too,
but yeah, I forgot about that.

723
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.400
The shirts are awesome. It makes
great, great shirts, and he also

724
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:05.199
makes good candles. My candle exchange
partner. I didn't realize he was like

725
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.760
your pen pal on the candle.
Yeah, we exchanged. We did in

726
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:09.159
this year. I had no idea
last year. A Christmas week ex change

727
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:15.760
candles. M good times. I
know what sense, I have nothing to

728
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.159
add to that. Don he sent
me something like Christmas tree. I think

729
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.960
I did something that was like like
autumn Ember, was like a bonfire kind

730
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:28.960
of thing. Yeah, so you
exchange pleasant candles with him and you give

731
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:34.280
me Hito chocolate pies. I came
to your Christmas party with a very nice

732
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:37.400
gift to fire. Oh that's true. That was pretty nice. Yeah yeah,

733
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.000
