You ain't heard 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:34.720 about it, then we're about to let you. Now it's 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:42.240 all what's going on Steve Smith? Here, we are minus 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.080 a co host today, Um gee had some things going on, 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.440 so he he asked me to fill in. So Scott, 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.680 I'm sorry, um you're only getting half of cut to it. 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.400 Hopefully that will be okay with you. None what happened, 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.880 I guess exactly what it was. So I guess it 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.760 was like not the want to borrow him and I 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.200 appreciate me, no, but man, we love to have you 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.000 on there. You. Um, I don't really know how to 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.040 say it because here in Nascar. Yeah, we're in NASCAR 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.640 country and you are a indie car driver and we'll 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.160 we'll we'll get into that to decipher the difference, right, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.960 because um, I just uh, you know you guys, I 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.199 believe do a little bit better job. You guys, don't 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.520 really you go right in left first, just turning left. Yeah, well, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.000 I definitely think that's that we do a better job 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:38.479 with that for sure. So we got Scott McLoughlin. Yea. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.679 Also just just turned twenty eight years old. Yea, So 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.920 I'm h yeah, getting get getting on, I guess you 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.560 could say. But now I'm probably this is probably for 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.600 me as a race driver, is probably my peak, you know, 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.760 like you sort of thirty two thirty four is sort 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.919 of where we're sort of peking um. But our careers 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.320 can sort of go to forty mid forties sometimes, So 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.600 it just depends on really how good you are. And 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.880 you know, if you can sponsorship is a big thing, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.560 you know, And if you can talk to the sponsors 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.480 and market yourself to a point where you can have 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.360 great brand sponsoring you and and keeping your racing and 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.240 they want you still in the car, that's a big help. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.320 And I don't know if you've heard of a guy 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.799 from Alio cash Nevis. He's one of the any five 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.040 hundred four times, but he's forty five years old now, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.799 I think, and he's still in the game still and 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.200 Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.880 he's got such a yeah fine wine, yeah, fine wine. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.440 Yeah yeah, wheels are good. Well, hey, welcome to cut 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.520 to a podcast. Man, Thank you, thank you for taking 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.880 a time. Um, we're gonna get right into it. Yeah 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.320 we got we got some got some random stupid please 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:57.880 random questions. Just just I'm just gonna grab him from it. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:03.480 I love it. If for color, why hold on? Hold on? 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.000 What color blue? Like like like like a like like 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.840 this blue. This is you know, it's an audio audio podcast. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.680 We don't have cameras. We do, but not everybody is watching. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.720 So what what color blue? Like a navy blue? Navy Yeah, okay, 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.880 that's more of like a midnight Yeah you reckon this one. Yeah, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.160 I guess you could say that. Yeah yeah, navy blue. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.520 Let's just say that navy blue. Okay, so let's go backwards. Okay, 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.680 your favorite color is navy blue, not the midnight that 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.160 you're wearing that you reference to your ships. I just 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.720 throw out I saw the nearest blue I had, and 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.600 I just went boom. Okay, that's it. So do you 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:49.560 usually um get nervous when you're asked the question you're 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.440 unprepared for because here in the States they call that 0:03:52.520 --> 0:04:00.440 dry snitching. Yeah, to be honest, I'd rather I'd rather 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:07.040 draws niche because I hate being prepared for a bloody 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.720 question because I feel like I overthink it. So like 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.320 sometimes the press releases and stuff will go out and 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.040 we might have like a media to it going on, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.840 and if I want to, like, they'll go, oh, do 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.279 you want to know the question before you get asked? 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.520 It's like no, because I feel like you get a 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.440 truer answer as you're finding out right now if I'm 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.640 just hanging out, so so you are. So you're saying 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.359 that you you want to be known as a draf No, 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:35.440 because I don't know what that means. Thank you something, honest, 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.279 I don't know what that means. So here's here's what 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.800 a draw niches is just a random like you just 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.920 tell on yourself. Right, So, my mom, like a teacher's pet. No, no, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.560 no, no no. A teacher's pet and a snitch is two different. Okay, 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.039 let me let me show you the difference. Okay, my 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.359 daughter who's twenty, she will be twenty one September. She 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.960 was she was young and just like most siblings, she 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.760 she told on her simply her older brother. And so 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.240 my mom was over for the holidays. Um, and I 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:10.680 know this is probably a surprising My mom is African American, right, um, right, 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.960 so growing up in l A. And so she goes, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.520 she tells my eight year old daughter. My daughters eight 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.480 at the time. She tells her. My daughter goes in 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.800 tail and I said, my daughter, Bailey, are you are 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.920 you telling? Are you telling? Telling? And my mother, my 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:33.479 mother says to my her granddaughter who's eight, Hey, Bailey 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:42.159 snitches gets stitches and just ripped into it that I 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:47.120 love that straight to the right. A year olds She's like, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:53.560 I'm gonna get stitches, right yeah, so exactly, so so 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.880 that that's what a snitch is. So just you, just 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.560 a dry snitch is basically saying you openly, we'll tell 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.680 on yourself. Okay, no, I'll take that back, all right, 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:09.680 But like I said, I will happily take an unpression 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.240 because I feel like I'm more authentic. Son, hit me more. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.640 Let's go. Okay, well we'll talk. I don't want to 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:24.440 hit you. I don't want that either. I like this guy, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.760 So let's get to it. Man. I always I love 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.880 asking each guests. This um where you from in a 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.480 place you call your hometown cross Church, New Zealand. One 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.120 more time, christ Church, New Zealand. Where is that in? 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:43.680 In proximiarly of Sydney or Melbourne. So it's it's north South, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.280 but Melbourne's Australia, New Zealand. And then cross Church is 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.359 the bottom of New Zealand. It's basically one of the 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.480 closest towns to Antarctica. If that's a yeah, it's probably 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.640 one of the Yeah, so I'm assuming. Yeah, it's a 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.159 little chilly. It's called all the time. Yeah for the 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.800 most part. Like a hot day is like a seventy 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.680 seventy seventy five, and then you get a cold cold 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.320 days like freezing below freezing not not not like my 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.400 not like um Fahrenheart. I'm still learning it, but I 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.400 mean doing in celis like minus it's not a minus 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.800 ten or anything like that, but it's it'll get down 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.400 to like, you know, twenty what at mid twenties. No 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.520 in in Fahrenhet. Yeah, but now I'm all mixed stuff. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.360 I'm going I'm talking celsis and Fahrenheitt. I've got crap 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.000 gun on everywhere and then be careful. Yeah, I'm good. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.320 I'm just I'm starting, I'm getting ready to go. I'm podcasting. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.160 What are some of the experiences you had living in 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.680 New Zealand. Um, I've I've been. I've traveled pretty extensively. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:52.040 I've had not gotten an opportunity to go to New Zealand. Um, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.440 but I hear is beautiful. It is beautiful. You know 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.760 what What were your experiences growing up in New Zealand. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.400 A lot of a lot of rugby. Um grew up 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.440 initially when I was sort of five years old playing rugby. Um. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.880 So you either in New Zealand, it's either you pick 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.200 up a rugby ball, which most do, or you go 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.120 and get yourself a car, maybe go out to a 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.200 race track. Yeah. Motor sport is very prominent in New 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.560 Zealand and like a lot of club races like, um, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.080 you know people that just have their own cars. I 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.320 go out and just drive the tracks or whatever that, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.880 you know, on the road circuits. But I explain a road, 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.520 so that's left and rights. Yeah, so you just so 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.200 you can't get a driver's license. However you can go 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:40.760 and just drive on a Yeah. Well there's a go 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.680 karting as well, so like I could. So I started 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.040 gocarting when I was six years old. Um, and that's 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.400 when I So you were a six years old you 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.199 were gocarting but still wearing a pull up at Yep. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.600 Yeah the most but yep and surprised. Yeah, that that's 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.560 where my parents were at. They just said, you know, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.600 get in there and have a But you know, when 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.520 you're six years old, you try anything, right, Like I was, like, 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.160 I don't know what it was, and you know what, 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.040 you know, it turned a hobby like has now turned 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.600 into a profession. You know. At the time, like that 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.960 was like a a family affair, like we had so 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.120 much fun for from when I was six years old 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.920 to you know when I sort of was probably just 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.680 before my teens, before I got noticed scouted brought onto 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.200 bigger teams. But yeah, for the most part in New Zealand, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.080 like you know, growing up there, it was pretty simple. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.080 You had a couple of earthquakes, you know, the Cross 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.360 is pretty known for its earthquakes. Um. You know, there 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.200 was a couple of volcano eruptions like crazy stuff. When 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.960 you think when even when I talk about it now, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.480 like thinking looking back at it, like New Zealand is 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.280 a pretty simple place, but sometimes like the natural things 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.280 that can happen down there, it's a pretty the natural 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.400 things are happening to you at a young age. Yeah, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:56.960 I guess like earthquakes. Earthquakes, Remember like the volcano ash 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.080 like covering our car and really yeah, like stuff like that. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.319 That and we were probably five hours away from like 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.800 the volcano that erupted kind of thing. But um, yeah, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.200 I remember that My dad was a truck driver, so 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.439 he was always like away. Um, so I hung out 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.480 with my mom alike my sister who's two years younger 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.479 than me. Um, pretty close knit family, small family. Um 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.640 you know, well I only met my nana and my 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.520 grand both my pops sort of passed away before I 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.240 was sort of born. So um, you know, it's very 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.800 tight knit. Not many cousins, um yeah, and just pretty 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.800 simple life. And then eventually, you know, I went to 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.599 a car show with my dad, going back to the 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.560 Go Cut story, I went to a car show and 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.160 there was a go Cut stand there and you know, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.480 Dad's like, oh, you know, I've I've raised these a 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.240 couple of times. You know, would you ever want to go? 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.640 And like I said, when you're six years old, you'd 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.120 let you try anything, and the next day was actually 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.360 a go cut have a go day at the local 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.120 go cart track. And the next day I went out, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.360 loved it, bought a cart and haven't looked back since. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:11.959 It's Yeah, it's just how it's happening. So what did 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.240 your sister do? Because you said only in New Zealand 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.760 the only two things to do is rugby, yeah, and 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:23.640 motor sports. So I'm I'm being ignorant to the fact 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.880 and believing everything. Hanging on every word yeah, because that's that. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.000 That's your world, you're living in it, and I don't 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.040 you know, you're giving us. You're giving us a visual 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.280 and audio tour of you growing up in New Zealand. Yeah, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.760 well so I grew up. There's another part of the story. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.720 So when I was ten, my mom and dad moved 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.800 us to Australia and they started a new business there. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.080 And that's where did you move to? To Melbourne, Victoria? 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.760 So you're talking about really good spot, um. And we 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.200 were in Australia to be honest, from that point until 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.600 I left to come here in America. So that's not 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.160 Australia effective become my home in some ways, although I 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.360 always I'm always a key. We always go for the 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.720 all blacks. But it's it's one of those deals where 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.800 you know, I am you know really uh. You know, 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.240 our family went through a whole heap of staff with 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.880 my dad's truck business. They start mom and dad started that, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.400 and my sister was you know, we went to school 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.480 and a pretty small school, um in Melbourne. Um, and 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.800 now you know, cutting the long story short, she went 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.760 to Uni. She decided she tried go karting. She like, 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.280 did a couple of races, did bits and pieces, but 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.640 it was too it was too hot for at the time, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.079 she was like, oh it's too hot. I don't I 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.720 don't really like having the helmet iron and all that 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.439 sort of stuff. So and then um and yeah and 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.560 we and then now she's actually my she looks after 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.400 all my press down in Australia. She she works for 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.800 a management company in Australia. She went to she's very smart. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.079 She went to a really good university down Australia and 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.120 got a degree in and marketing and and um, you know, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.160 it's it's been awesome to have her on sort of 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.679 my team now and working together as a family it's 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.880 it's cool. It's pretty cool. Yeah, Melbourne gets pretty hot. Yea, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.040 our winners is are you guys a summer and you 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.200 guys summers? Yeah, so that was another thing I had 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.640 to get used to here. It was like Christmas, it's 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.720 cold and I'm used to being on the lake, you 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.920 know over Christmas. It's so different, you know, and just 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.959 yeah having having like my my birthdays is June and 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.400 you know, having um, you know, having that as normally 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.120 cold and here it's hot and it's kind of weird 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.080 to make it all happen. But it's cool. Wow. Yeah, 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.080 Melbourne is pretty cool place. Yeah you've been there? Yeah yeah? 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.640 What did you go there for? Just like to hang 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:43.480 out holiday? For the Australian Open? Oh cool? Yeah you're 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.240 into your tennis? Yeah yeah, I like tennis too. I 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:47.520 went to I went to that. I was open a 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.840 few times. Yeah. Yeah, I love that playing that with 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.640 my wife and we have a lot of fun doing that. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.760 It's nice. Is busy, Yeah, it's hot. Yeah. Yeah. Did 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.000 you go like the main stadium there like Rod Labor 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.560 and I took, I took, I took the whole time. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:07.520 Two weeks man, let's just jump right into explain to 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:13.360 me indie car racing because I thought it was. You know, 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:18.880 this weekend I was watching a little F one and 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.920 I didn't see Scott was looking. I was like, I 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.840 don't see him. And then I looked it up and 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.720 I was like, oh yeah, I look at my notes 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.720 and it says, um, indie stupid. So that really answered 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:39.400 the question for me. So what is the difference? Yes, 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.720 as and and I'm I'm I'm throwing myself. I'm the 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.240 sacrificial lamb. I don't know the difference, right, I don't 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.800 sports has There's so many sports, there's so many different 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.360 elements to it, right, Just like you know, there are 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.760 some people that who are naive enough to say, oh, basketball, football, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.920 what's the difference if you don't watch it, if you 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:05.000 don't really understand it. And I think I believe what's 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:10.440 going on right now currently with the lesser financial sports 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:16.120 in the F one, soccer, hockey, they're doing such a 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.960 good job of explaining things. I think the biggest thing 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.360 that has helped me is that not that uh uh, 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.840 Netflix Formula one kind of showing it's made people that 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:32.320 it's it's dumbed it down to people can actually understand 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.560 that there's a method to the madness. I think there's 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.720 another good, good, good movie. I don't know if you're 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:43.560 saying it, Rush highly recommend that I've seen the movie. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.640 It came out of several years ago, right, but but 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.520 but it was something about F one that I'm kind 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:55.280 of yeah, yeah, but it's still something now I can 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.280 go back and go watch it because I can start 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.280 to put it in respective. So dumbed down the difference 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:07.160 between F one and Indie well, like I'm using the 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.240 word dumbed down. Well, yeah, but the best thing, like 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.640 what you've just said though, like with Former One's popularity rising, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.040 not many people know the difference between the two. So 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.520 that'sally great for IndyCar because if you see like IndyCar 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.640 on TV, you're like, oh, their funds, you know what 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.640 I mean. And it's kind of it's been a good, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.920 you know, good thing. You know, there's like a little 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.600 battle going on between Former one and IndyCar about popularity 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.920 and where they're at in America, but for the most part, 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.840 like it's I think it's been good for both parties, 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.880 especially in America because traditionally America has been probably more 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.200 so Nascar NASCAR. Everyone knows Nascar. It's just so every 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.240 Sunday it's on, you know, Charlotte, the whole deal. You know. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.800 Um So the difference between Former one and in one. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.680 Formula one goes on just road and street circuits, so 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.000 they just turn left and right. They do um races 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.600 all over the world, like Monaco, they got some Belgium 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.920 of China. I want a Long Beach. Yeah, I know, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:07.159 that's us. I'd seen these different Have you been to 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.720 that one? No, I just know around that time, you 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.720 don't go to Long Beach. That's what I remember. And 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.760 I was a kid. Yeah there's other guy that blocks 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:20.280 the roads. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no that see, I didn't know. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.119 I just I just knew every year it was something 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.280 huge in Long Beach when I was a kid that 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.480 that you knew around this time. Oh, you can't do 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.520 the racers are down there. Formerly one used to be there. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.040 I think, like way back in the day. I don't know. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:42.240 I'm ohhead, yeah, that's damn. I said forty one. I 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.000 said forty one. I was being nice. I didn't say 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.040 damn like in a bad way, but I was just thinking, 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.479 I mean, I'm not look good for forty three yes 0:17:53.359 --> 0:18:00.520 year old. So for all right, former one n car, 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.240 any car, So going back to a rotor street course, 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.560 just Formula one. The difference between what any car does. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.000 We actually go on ovals too, like what we go 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:13.120 on ovals as well. Circles, yeah we do, we do 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.760 those like you know to forty mile um World were 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.240 all that sort of stuff. So that's the only probably 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:23.760 the difference until the cars. You know, there's probably there's 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.760 more constructors. So in Formula one you've got to have 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.160 a team has got to be a constructor, so you've 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.560 got to build your own car. You've got to build, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.680 you know, like Ferrari's got a Ferrari engine at their 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:41.080 own chassis, like gearbox they do everything. Where Indy car is, 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.960 everyone's on the same chassis. You've either got a Honda 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.119 or a Chef Chevy engine um, and it's that's where 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.359 it's a little different because it's a little bit more speck, 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.159 a little bit more. Everyone's got the same equipment. It's 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.560 just who does the best with you know what they've got. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.800 What does the difference between a hunder engine and a 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.520 Chevy Not much. It's the same principles. They've got to 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:11.040 meet the requirements that any requirements like two point was 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.040 it two point two leader to the driver, But I 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.800 just drive it together if I'm being honest there Steve honestly, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.480 But no, it's you've got to like the Honda and 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.800 the Chevy is is you've got to meet these technical 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.200 requirements asked by Indy Car. Where Formula one it's like, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.240 you can you build the fastest engine you can. There's 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.200 a couple of technical requirements and a few different electronic 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:34.879 things that you can do. But if you can build 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.280 a car that's you know, way faster on a straight 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.240 line or whatever like, that's up to them because their constructors. 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.240 Where we've got parameters that we've got to stay within. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.359 But for the most part, any car and former one 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.720 are very similar. Um, you know, you've seen there's a 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.200 lot of crossover. Sometimes any car drivers go to Formula one, 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.760 you know, sometimes Formal one drivers come back to come 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:01.159 to any car and racing America before you finish, which 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:07.560 is harder. Well, I personally I think you can ask yeah, 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.240 there's no one actually asking yet. No, Yeah, I should 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.960 get that. No, I think Indy Car because I believe it. 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:20.680 Because of the there's less chance, less parameters to go through, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.040 so everyone's got the same equipment. It really comes down 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.920 to the driver in some ways, driver and the team 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.760 and pit stops, and there's a lot of variables that 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.399 can happen where you're seeing F one. You've got the Mercedes, 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.119 the Ferrari, got the same guys at the front of 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:42.480 the time.

Um, I got all 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.440 my questions answered. That's what I'm here for, a brother, 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:21.040 cut to a podcast dot com. When you start a race, 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:28.880 how many miles or laps can a set of tires 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:33.000 get you? Well, normally it's dictated by fuel, So how 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.800 excuse me? Fuel by fuel? So again, Indy car fuels 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:40.720 up at their pit stops. F one don't F one 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.680 is dictated by the They fuel up for the whole 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:45.520 race and then it's just up to hell on the 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:51.760 tires do and typically f one laps IndyCar like say 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.320 it at Indianapolis, we try and get thirty three to 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.600 thirty five laps out of a fuel tank, and it's 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.679 about how you save and the more laps you do, 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:02.399 the better off you're going to be come the end 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.640 of the race because you've got more fuel and less 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.760 station and his time in the pit stop. So how 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:11.240 many laps is a mile? Was it two and a half? 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.400 I have no idea again the driver, Yeah, I drive 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.280 the car. They tell me, all right, last lap and 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.960 I just get out there we go. I was right, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.480 I said two point five, but you said it with 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:27.960 no conviction and no, no, no, I don't absolutely terrible 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.679 like you said it like maybe yeah, maybe maybe not 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.000 throwing it out there. I'm rowing a number. I believe 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:37.560 this is. I don't know if it is, because I 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:39.000 was thinking, I was like, all right, well I know 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.560 and track four laps equal a mile. Yeah, But if 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.320 I knew that question beforehand, I would have said two 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:48.000 point five straight away, and you guys were thought, I'm genius. No, 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:53.000 I wouldn't say genius, but I took the dry snitch. No, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.120 that's not dry sta. Still I'm still trying to figure 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.600 that out. Just remove snitching and dry out of your 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.040 vocab blaria. Just stop, don't say it again. Done, I 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.280 will never do that. You don't need to be walking 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:14.040 around to schnood. Yeah. Oh man, all right, So you know, 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.680 what are some of the things that you've You've come 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:24.360 over from Australia. How the hell did you pick Charlotte? Yeah, well, 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.960 my team's here. So initially I met a guy named 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.240 have you ever heard of Roger Penskey? I've never heard 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:32.359
