GHiT 0439:  Mario Korf from the Occam’s Racers

Mario Korf comes on the podcast, and we talk all things aero and beyond.  Mario has a blog that is on our can’t miss list.  The blog is called Occam’s Racer and in it he tries to understand and explain aero for racing through tons of experiments to support or disprove theories.  In addition, Mario was on the team that Ben raced with for his first Lemons race.  It would seem that we would focus on racing aero, but that just wouldn’t be our way and we bounce all over the place, along with he help of a surprise guest who pops in for about 20 minutes.

Fuel Conservation Methods

fuel gauge

DwD 0438:  Fuel Conservation Methods

When endurance racing, the race can often be won or lost by the pit stop strategy and sometimes the race breaks down in such a way that your team can be a few laps short from what is needed to avoid another pit stop and that can make or break the victory.  Ben and Bill discuss some of their favorite ways to save a little gas and extend the number of laps and maybe sneak out a victory when you may not be the fastest in your class.

GHIT 0437:  Dion von Moltke Returns and We Talk All Things Racing

Dion von Moltke has raced professionally at some of the highest levels and has started an online coaching and education coaching business that includes some of the best racing (and other) coaches across the globe.  We have been subscribers since day one and never fail to see improvements after every session and know of nothing that can compare in value for the dollar and minute.  During this episode Dion discusses topics including:

1)     What separates a good racer from a still learning racer?

2)    What are the things that we will never stop working on?

3)    Why should we work on a corner backwards?

4)    What is the top priority of a particular corner and how to determine it

5)    Feel references vs visual references (or both) and how to get better at references

6)    How to most quickly learn a track or a new car

7)    Why should I wait until I have perfected my driving and car to get a coach?  (100% facetiously worded)

8)    How do you prioritize what to work on with your personal driving or with students, and even more advanced students

9)    Hitting target spots vs hitting target spots with correct car angle and weight loading

10)If I get oversteer or understeer does that mean I just blew the corner?

11)How to drive around understeer

12)Why is the slow point of a corner so important

13)Proper footwork through a turn (with a manual transmission)

14)The 5 types of braking zones (and why they matter)

BONUS TIP:  Dion provides several tips on what to look at when trying to improve by looking at your own video and data.

Blind Corners

DwD 0436:  Blind Corners

One of the things that a lot of beginners have trouble with is when they are approaching a corner of the track that does not allow the driver to see around the corner.  While this can be disconcerting, this should not be a big deal for you on track.  Ben offers up some great advice on dealing with blind corners and starts with the ever important topic of the safety of going through blind corners.  We hope this helps you at you next rack event.

GHiT 0435:  Host of the Blind Apex Podcast and Honda Challenge Race Driver – Kaan Canturk

Once we found the Blind Apex podcast, we knew we had to have Kaan Canturk on our podcast.  Kaan competes primarily in the NASA Mid Atlantic Honda Challenge H2 series.  He started a podcast that is aimed at helping everyone get better at racing and optimizing their racing program.  During this episode we go over how Kaan started out in his racing and what he has learned to this point.  Tons of tips, tricks and lessons learned and there is a good amount of smack talking during the episode, all very good natured ribbing.   If you like our podcast, the Blind Apex podcast is probably the most similarly themed podcast that we have found to date and really enjoy listening for his advice and perspectives.
