Ep 10. Will Street Courses Revolutionize NASCAR?

Parker and Landon discuss the 2023 Firecracker 400, Parker's wet Chicago race, NASCAR's future, SVG's braking strategy, F1's Red Bull dominance, track limits in racing, and Mid-Ohio notes.

In this entertaining episode, Parker and Landon light the fuse on some explosive discussions, starting with the 2023 Firecracker 400. They delve into its significance to the sim racing community, offering intriguing insights from their seasoned perspectives. Switching gears, Parker shares tales of his soggy weekend at the Chicago Street Course, bringing the struggles and triumphs to life. The hosts then take a detour down memory lane, with Parker celebrating Landon's birthday on air before Landon ponders the best way to ring in his special day.

 

As they steer back into motorsports territory, the duo examine the future of NASCAR, focusing on how street courses are propelling the sport in a positive direction. They question if Shane Van Gisbergen's right foot braking strategy has exposed NASCAR drivers. F1's continuing Red Bull and Max Verstappen domination is up for discussion too, as well as the FIA's dilemma over track limits in Austria, marked by over 1400 infractions. Landon takes the lead, sharing his detailed views on track limits and potential organic solutions. As Alex Palou continues his reign in IndyCar, and Conor Daly steps up as a substitute for an injured driver, the conversation stays on full throttle. The episode ends with Parker mulling over whether to share his race-winning notes from Mid-Ohio.
