Ross Bentley is one of the most famous driving coaches in racing and author of probably the best book on driving ever, "Speed Secrets". He and Sam Smith (formerly at Road&Track, Automobile, Hagerty, and more) host a podcast called "It's Not the Car" that explores the history and technology of racing and why it's always the people behind the car that make the difference.
Topics include:
Does a simulator need to be expensive to be helpful?
Are motion simulators necessary?
What separates good drivers from great ones
How to win Le Mans if you never went karting
Is "natural talent" a real thing?
Why falling is good
One-on-one coaching vs driving school
Is a $20,000,000 simulator worth it?
