MP 815: The Week In IndyCar, May 9, Listener Q&A

It's a new episode of The Week In IndyCar show, with questions submitted from fans via social media. Among the items covered: "Road America is currently slated before F1 gets back to work. Do you think McLaren would consider fielding a car for Lando Norris for that race? I imagine sponsors are looking for more exposure any way they can get it and Lando is definitely a quarantine winner with the fans." "It seems like Simon Pagenaud is good at a lot of things but acting is not one of them. I can't help but cringe at what he did, taking out one of the most popular drivers in F1 whilst 10k+ viewers were watching Lando on Twitch is probably the worst thing he could do. Then Zak Brown tweeting out that he was surprised by what Simon did. Just a horrible look for Simon, his sponsors and the series. You and Miller had mentioned that Simon was being considered for a SPAM ride in 2021. Do you think the chances of that happening are still as strong as they once were or am I over analyzing something that happened in the virtual world?" "Marshall you have to pick two drivers, two team member and two IndyCar officials (or media) to survive a zombie apocalypse, who would be on your team?"

MP 814: 1988 Audi 200 Quattro Trans Am In-Car Audio at Monterey 2018

It's time to celebrate our podcast's fourth anniversary, so let's do it with one of my favorite in-car audio captures, taken in 2018 at Laguna Seca with Zak Brown in his 1988 Audi 200 Quattro Turbo SCCA Trans Am machine. Its 2.1-liter five-cylinder engine screams for our delight, and with two audio recorders running--one next to the turbo and wastegate, and the other next to the exhaust outlet--we get to hear everything that made this rally-bred beast an unstoppable force during its triumphant run to earn the 1988 Trans Am championship.

MP 804: The Week In IndyCar, April 27, Listener Q&A

It's a new episode of The Week In IndyCar show, with questions submitted from fans via social media. Among the items covered: "I've seen pictures of the Menards Lolas with their 'hunchback' engine covers, with an aesthetic anomaly caused by the height of their engines. These were Buick V6s, correct? Did the size of the Honda and Chevy engines have any impact on the aesthetics of the universal aerokits? Or was the engine packaging tight enough that designers had free reign? Are there any cars that you can think of that were weirdly and/or negatively impacted by their engine packaging?" "I am liking the iRaces but can you speak about the business model behind it, are drivers actually contracted to their team to do this, is there even an 'e-sports' stipulation in their contract? freelancing? And how were the ratings this week, when the races were on YouTube again?" "MP, if you were to replace the characters in the TV show The A-Team with Indy car drivers who would you pick for Face, Murdock, BA and Hannibal? #mepersonally I see Will Power as a great Murdock."
