What a show! Our guest is automotive designer Sasha Selipanov. He has the job many of us dreamed of us as kids: supercar designer. He penned the Lamborghini Huracan, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg's Gemera and CC850, and the Genesis concept. Strong resume.

We learn about how Sasha got started; the unexpected company that helped with his Ferrari project at school; lessons from his first job at VW; making the leap to Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg; the constraints of working for a big OEM; what it's like to work with Christian von Koenigsegg; his wild first experience driving a fast car; and why he hates cladding.

Rutledge Wood is a stable in the car community. He is the host of "Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge", a new show on NBC where teams compete to make automotive dreams come true. But before that he was a host on Top Gear USA, and a NASCAR commentator for NBC Sports. He is as funny as he is kind (you'll see).

On this show we talk about his crazy builds; trading a school bus; buying a tiny Japanese truck; taking out Petty's trash; the new Hot Wheels Show; getting scared by Drake; the Kentucky Derby's secrets; being at the Indy 500; and so much more!

Ali Javidan built race cars, the Model S prototype, and a new solution for trucking.

Ali is the founder and CEO of Range Energy, which has created a bolt-on hybrid system for semi-truck trailers. This is a way to add electrification to the trucking industry without going full Tesla. He is also the former head of prototyping at Tesla. The first Model S? He built it.

He explains how that prototype came to be; why Tesla won the charging wars (and who is to blame); why it's stupid to steal cable; and most importantly, his new company's big idea to improve trucking fuel economy by up to 40% without going EV.
 

(Ali has also built some amazing cars for himself, including a badass 2002 and blisteringly-quick Mk1 Ford Escort) https://range.energy/

Brian Scotto is the co-founder of HOONIGAN, a brand that either created or found a new kind of car enthusiast that loved their cars but drove them in a way that some would call abusive. To the Hoonigans it was what was needed to go drifting, rally racing, or to just have fun. Burnouts: evolved. Working alongside business partner and mentor, Ken Block, they created the Gymkhana video series, holding the attention of over 550 million people and brands like Ford, Monster Energy, and Subaru.

On this episode we talk about @brianscotto growing collection of Audis and VWs (some of which work); getting in early on the RWB Porsche craze; how a valve cover fix became a whole engine; the slippery slope of Audi love; the wonderful challenge that was working with Ken; and how the dark cloud of a sudden and terrible tragedy caused him and the HOONIGAN family to come together and reflect on the past and plan the future.

Gordon Murray designed the McLaren F1 as well as a number of successful Formula 1 cars. Today he is the head of Gordon Murray Automotive which builds supercars of a very special caliber. Light. Focused. Naturally-aspirated. Manual gearbox. Many RPMs.

Today we're talking about their most recently debuted model, the T.33 Spyder, a breezy piece of carbon beauty powered by a 615HP V12 that redlines at 10,250RPM. We talk about the design process; what inspired the shape; why the windshield is different from every other supercar; why the car doesn't need side intakes; Gordon's dislike of buttresses; his guilty pleasure car; the type of car he's NEVER owned; and something he collects that you wouldn't expect.

Stephan Papadakis is the founder of Papadakis Racing which has more Formula D podiums under its belt than any other team. After developing his skill set building record-holding FWD dragsters, Stephan turned his attention to the growing sport of drifting and has since made quite a name for himself and for good reason. Papadakis racing has built several championship-winning cars for Frederic Aasbo, built Ryan Tuerck's FD Corolla, and Jhonnattan Castro's GR86.

In this episode we talk about: How many cars they build per year; why they don't do viral projects; why there's more 4-cylinders in FD these days; the pros and cons of big displacement; a weird head issue; how the cars evolve between seasons; what's up with his weird RAV4 project; and more!

Iain is the founder and director of Cheshire Classic Cars, which restores and sells rare metal from, Bentleys to Ferraris, rally special to open-wheeled race cars. His YouTube channel, Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, frequently features the cars of Harry Metcalfe, who entrusts his Lamborghinis to Tyrrell. That's quite an endorsement.

On this episode Iain tells us about opening his shop in his early 20s; undercharging for Ferrari work; how 3D printing has changed his profession; parts that are impossible to source; what people get wrong when they fix or restore a car; why he loves the Espada and the Lagonda; BMW's gem; colors he wants to see more of; and a lot more.

Andreas Bovensiepen is the CEO of Alpina, the famous company that takes BMWs and turns them into some of the fastest and most exclusive sleepers available. Alpina Automobiles was founded in 1965 by Andreas' father, Burkard Bovensiepen. That company started out in typewriters before moving into textiles and ultimately, building fast cars. We know which we prefer.

We ask about how the company started; about his experience working for BMW before going to Alpina; attempting to put a V12 in a Z8; why putting an automatic in a car was a good idea; why racing is important; the reason for reasoning behind those famous 20-spoke wheels; why he bought an NSX; and what he thinks of BMW's new grills.

Podcast at a race track! We are sitting up above the incredible temporary NASCAR track inside the LA Coliseum. 11 months out of the year this is a grass-covered football field but right now it is a tarmac short track with concrete walls, catch fences, and even rumble strips. We talk about NASCAR's move to attract new audiences; why this short track shouldn't be dismissed; why it's a great live sporting event; and Matt's introduction to Cypress Hill. Then we do a deep dive on the 911 Dakar; why it's great but most people shouldn't buy it; how country club tracks solve a problem but can create a new one; the best sporty car for arthritis; the best sound-deprivation chamber for $15k; the "end of police stops"; and more.

When it comes to engine tuning, Mitch McKee knows it. He spent years working for Vivid racing and COBB before opening his own company, M Engineering. They write software (and some hardware) upgrades for high-dollar exotics like McLaren, Porsche, and Lamborghini. As you'll learn from the show, they don't do simple reflash or throttle maps, either. They're so good, in fact, that OEMs hire them to prevent cheating in racing team ECUs.

We talk about Mitch's unorthodox start; why his approach is different; the challenge that is tuning a modern ECU; OEM security; why McLarens explode; why he doesn't tune Ferraris; Pikes Peak; and more.

From his page: Mitch is an engine and transmission calibrator with over 15 years of hands on experience. Mitch has contributed calibrations to multiple high caliber, championship winning teams over a wide variety of racing disciplines, including road racing, drag racing, hill climbs, rally racing, and drifting. As a reverse engineer, Mitch was the lead on a project that was responsible for bringing Porsche aftermarket engine and transmission tuning to the mass market. Mitch has also consulted with multiple OEM part manufacturers for various products.

If you haven't heard of BBI, they make some of the fastest Porsches on Earth, from GT2s to Taycans and everything in between. They built the 1,400HP (!) engine for Ken Block's crazy PPIHC car -the Hoonipigasus- and were instrumental in the design, assembly, and management of that car. They've also built and managed racing and hill-climb programs for a number of other cars, including breaking Pikes Peak Time Attack record in 2019 by over 14 seconds. ⁠

On this show we talk about building cars with 4-digit power; why Porsche oil changes can take 3 hours; the pink pig; and more!

It's a crew show! Matt's car is broken in!!! The day has finally arrived (sort of). He took it on a 800 mile trip and will give us all the details. Plus, a deep dive into the McLaren Artura and why it's the best McLaren yet (besides the F1, of course). 

Then we answer questions about GR markups, Elantra N sure things, dailies for enthusiasts that live in snowy places, and what marked our greatest successes of the year.

Ever been pulled over and wish you had a lawyer with you? That dream is now a reality.

Jazz Hampton is the CEO and co-founder of TurnSignl, an on-demand, real-time service that provides 24/7 legal guidance from an attorney to drivers while their camera records the interaction. When drivers are stopped by law enforcement officers or involved in a car accident, they can access live video chat with an attorney at the press of a button or voice command. TurnSignl attorneys are vetted and trained to de-escalate interactions between police, drivers, and passengers.

No one likes getting pulled over but for some people, a misstep can turn into an unnecessary altercation or worse. Jazz's goal is to reduce the chances of that happening so that both citizen and officer feel safer.

Paris Marx, is the author of the incredible book, "Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation". In it, Paris does a comprehensive analysis of the recent wave of "new" mobility solutions created by the tech industry. From Uber to e-scooters to tunnels, and cars that are "autonomous" or can fly, the tech industry has promised to solve all of our traffic issues. But have they? Can they?
 

The book does an excellent job at looking at numerous recent transportation trends and showing what they promised to do, if they succeeded, and whether the ideas are new at all. It also looks at the larger macro effects some companies have had on our lives and politics, and what we could be doing better.

On this episode we talk about why bigger freeways don't help congestion; how Uber made things worse; why the tunnels were really built; the brief life of autonomous cars; and what we should do better to improve live for everyone.

Chris Otwell and Graham Suorsa are the directors of "The Fastest Woman on Earth", the documentary about the late Jessi Combs. Jessi rose to fame on television as a host on "Mythbusters", "Overhaulin'", "All Girls Garage", and "The List". She was also the first female Grand Marshall of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. 

Most notably, she set the women's land speed record in 2019, with an average speed of 522.783 MPH. Unfortunately she was killed during the second run.

We talk to Chris and Grant about the process of working with and filming Jessi, how the project came to be, the importance of Kitty O'Neil's story and her impact on Jessi, the importance of the record, why they left the crash in the movie, and most importantly, why Jessi made such an impression on everyone she met.

You can stream the documentary on HBO Max.

Dai Yoshihara is a  professional driver who has competed in Formula D,  Time Attack, Road Racing, and Hill Climb. And it all started with a motorcycle. Sort of. 

On this episode we find out how Dai got his start in driving, drifting, and the unlikely meeting that led to his first drift event and ultimately, his career. Dai walks us through his car history; the differences between road racing and drifting; why he loves the Pikes Peak Hill Climb; his AE86 builds; and the one race car he would own if he could.

Some of his most notable  moments: he won the Formula D championship in 2011, 3rd place in the 25  Hours of Thunderhill, 1st overall in the 2019 Global Time Attack Super  Lap Battle,  and took 1st place in the Unlimited class  (and 9th  overall) at the  Pikes Peak International Hill Climb of 2020. He's also  been a drift judge, a precision driver,  co-hosted a show on Hagerty  along with our own Zack Klapman, and has been the face of many brands.

Randy Thomas Lanier is a man with some seriously incredible stories. He is a professional race car driver and convicted drug trafficker from the United States. Yes, you read that correctly. Two endeavors that grew together to heights few have experienced. 
 

He is best known for his racing efforts in the mid-1980s, including winning the 1984 IMSA Camel GT title for the wholly independent Blue Thunder Racing team, placing 9th in the 1986 INDY 500, and becoming the Rookie of the Year at that same race. In 1988, Randy was arrested for marijuana smuggling and sentenced to life in prison without parole under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise statute (also known as the "Super Drug Kingpin" law). 
 

We talk to Randy about his late start in racing; how he ascended through the ranks so quickly; beating Porsche; a factory ride offer; how it came crashing down; and how he found purpose and happiness.

How did Gordon Murray get his tenacious hunger of design and problem solving? How did he come to design the legendary McLaren F1? What does his new car, the T.50, do that other supercars don't? And what are those strange contraptions he built out of a boiler and a food truck? All that and a lot more will be answered in this amazing episode.
 

If there were a hall of fame for cars, Gordon Murray would be near the top, seated at the table of bosses next to people like Colin Chapman and Dan Gurney. He was the lead designer and engineer behind the McLaren F1, which came after he had a very successful career as a technical director in F1 for Brabham and McLaren. For some, those credits would be enough to hang their legacy on but as you'll soon hear Gordon is not like other people. His new venture, GMA (Gordon Murray Automotive), has debuted two cars that lit the supercar world on fire because their intent is not to deliver the quickest, fastest, or most powerful ride on Earth, but the best to drive. Gordon's focus has always been about weight reduction and driver feedback, and as will become clear in this show, his focus is sharper than ever. https://gordonmurrayautomotive.com/ \

This show was full of interesting insights into the life and business of a designer. Oil Stain Lab @oilstainlab is a vehicle design company founded by brothers Iliya and Nikita Bridan. They work with brands and individuals alike who want to build something truly unique. Sometimes it's a lifted Alfa Romeo, others it's a custom Porsche inspired by Can-Am madness. Whatever they put their minds, pens, and hands on, the vehicles tend to get attention.  

We talk to Nikita about how they got started, studying in Italy, Art Center in Pasadena, the good and bad working for OEMs, the rational explanation for why concept cars look insane, opening their own business, building an unexpectedly popular fake-vintage Can-Am car, working on the HOONIGAN Porsche, and a ton more.

- James Clay is driving a Bimmerworld-built E36 BMW packing a twin-turbo V8 and more wings than an aviary. 

- Jonny Lieberman tells us how he feels about the wet conditions (Hint: not good). 

- Mike Musto shares his thoughts on the event. Then we go back to the studio where Matt and Zack talk about the surprising race results including surprising upsets and Levi Shirley's crazy rollover.

Part 2 of PPIHC is another double-header! First: Rhys Millen and Joey Seely explain their secrets to being fast, the 1300HP 911 they're campaigning, and a bit of Rhys' history at the mountain. Plus, Rhys' weird tire secret. 

Then, we hop in an MDX with Acura's lead factory driver, James Robinson, who gives us a turn-by-turn tour of the mountain. He points out specific challenges, turns, driving lines, and talks about the event in general, how he started, and his NSX. 

Rhys Millen is one of the best drivers on Earth. He holds trophies from Formula D, and Global Rally Cross. He set his first Pikes Peak record in 1997 in a Toyota Supra. He was King of the Mountain (overall winner) in 2012 and 2015, set the EV record in 2016, and set the SUV record in 2018. He's also won at Baja, knows how to setup a car, and as we find out, has a weird secret with tires. 

Joey Seely was a co-founder of BBI Autosport. 6 years ago he struck out on his own to open Emotion Engineering. Initially, he focused on chassis/suspension setup. He was the lead engineer for Jeff Zwart's PPIHC efforts several times, including with the ultra-rare 935. But as former racing engineer, Joey knew he could go bigger. Over time he's developed his own parts, brake pads, and engine builds, all culminating in this incredible Pikes Peak effort with Rhys Millen.

Pikes Peak 2022 Pt.1: First, we stand at Glen Cove and talk about the cars we've seen, weather, altitude, and what the hill climb means to us. Then we go to Devil's Playground to speak to 3 pro drivers -and Motor Trend figurehead Jonny Lieberman- where we cover topics like: 

How does one learn this crazy mountain road? How is it different from the Nurburgring? 

What do you mean there's a car? 

How is Robb's first experience racing a 2022 Porsche GT4 RS on the mountain? 

When is sun bad? 

What's Jonny trying to improve on? 

How is David Donahue's 2021 Porsche GT2 RS ClubSport handling the altitude? 

How does this compare to road racing? 

How do you measure power at bottom vs the top? 

How do gears get longer over time? All that a whole lot more!

What's it like going around Laguna Seca in the $4M 1000HP street-legal race-ready Aston Martin Valkyrie?! INSANE. 

We're talking all things Hypercar Invitational. Which cars were there? How fast were they driven? What's it like to ride with The Stig? How much slower (or faster) is the Cadillac CT5-V than a hypercar? Plus, Matt rode in the Aston Martin Valkyrie, a car so fast it changed a man's mind. We talk about what it is, road car vs race car, why it exists, and what time it ran at Laguna. Also, 7-figure 1/2 mile drags, expensive garages, weird shoes, and Q&A.

It's a racing driver extravaganza! We're in Monterey at the Hypercar Invitational and the pros are here. We talk to Ben Collins (The Stig) about horsepower levels today, supercar performance, motorcycle racing, and the Zenvo's tilting wing. @bencollinsstig 

Then we talk to Justin Bell about how technology makes anyone a hero, why he won't ride right-seat in fast things, why Pikes Peak scares the shi*t out of him (compared to Le Mans), Jonny's hill-climb, and...the Zenvo's wing. @justinbelltv 

Lastly but not least-ly, Randy Pobst tells us about his first time racing Pikes Peak (and the near-miss), his Unplugged Performance Tesla Model S Plaid, what he thinks about British cars, why race cars ruin you for street cars, and more. @randypobst

Nick and Giles English are the founders of Bremont watches and serious gear heads. They love all things mechanical, especially planes and motorcycles, but they've also had a number of adventures in vintage cars. They even had had a hand in Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's motorcycle circumnavigations "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down".  

We talk about why they started Bremont, what it's like working with and learning from the Williams F1 team, crushing watches, working with Ian Callum, their new hangout, Bike Shed Moto Co, and nearly crashing a plane.

Jason Torchinsky and David Tracy are two of the most entertaining writers to ever work at Jalopnik. Jason has a knowledge of obscure cars (and other machinery) that rivals Google. David - a trained engineer- loves buying run-down 4x4s, located many hundreds of miles from his house, and trying to drive them home, usually unsuccessfully. They've just announced their departure from Jalopnik to start a new website (alongside Beau Boeckmann, owner of Galpin Ford and bona-fide car nerd), The Autopian! 
 

On this show we talk about why they left Jalopnik, Beau being involved in a record-setting car crash, strange old car seats, obscure sedans, and what the Autopian will be all about.

He's a staple in the community and has a new show on HAGERTY called, "The Big Thing with Magnus Walker", where he takes you for a ride in icons like the Mercedes 300SL, Ford GT (all 3 generations!), Porsche 930, and more.

Reggie Watts is one of the most impressive performers we've ever seen. He's a stand up comedian that uses small instruments, beatboxing, and improv in a way that boggles the mind and deserves standing ovations. He loops his own voice, layering it to create beats and melodies that lead to hilarious punchlines. "Unique" is an understatement. It's hard to describe what he does (check him out on YouTube or watch his new Netflix special, "Spatial"). You can also see him as the band leader on "The Late Late Show". @reggiewatts

Reggie is also into cars. He has a deep appreciation for mechanical integration, engineering, and technology. On this episode we talk about his early cars, what he likes about new tech, his EV interests, a hyper owl, car stereos, head phones, and more.  

From his site: "Reggie Watts is an internationally renowned vocal artist/ beatboxer/ musician/ comedian who wows audiences with his live performances which are 100% improvised. Using his formidable voice, looping pedals, and his vast imagination, Reggie blends and blurs the lines between music and comedy. No two performances are the same and to that end, “genius” is the word most often used to describe Reggie Watts."

Jesse Iwuji is one of those people that is as impressive as he is likable and he is very impressive indeed. While on leave from serving in the NAVY he went to a track day, fell in love with the driving, and decided to become a race car driver. He has done just that, working his way up through late model stocks cars to the Xfinity series. He dailies an R32 GT-R and a C7 Corvette, drifts a C6 Corvette, owns a few businesses, and just created a racing team alongside an NFL legend.

A story like his is far from common in the world of auto racing. You won't regret listening.

From his website:

"Jesse went from competing at the top level of Division-1A college football to rising the ranks of the military as a Lieutenant Commander, and is now the only current driver in all of NASCAR at the national levels that actively serves his country as a US Military member. Today he is one of two African Americans competing at NASCARs national level of racing."

These are some of the big brains that decide what a Lotus car should look like, feel like, and what the company should do next.   

Russell Carr has been working for Lotus since 1990 and was appointed head of design in 2014. His work can be seen in the Lotus Esprit facelift, Europa S, Evora, and upcoming Evija.  

Gavan Kershaw has been the Director of Attributes and Product Integrity since 2017. He sets the targets, benchmarks and evaluation sign-off on everything to do with the performance of Lotus cars. He's never worked anywhere else, so to say he cares about the brand would be an understatement.  

Matt Windle served as the Executive Director of Engineering until January of 2021 when he was named the Managing Director of Lotus Cars.

How do you make older cars turn, stop, handle, or have good steering feel? Luckily we have Kyle Tucker of Detroit Speed to explain it all. He talks about his time working for GM, testing the C5 prototype fresh out of college, how he started his own company, what they did differently, and why their cars perform with the best. It was a great discussion about modifying, thinking, engineering, and testing. Detroit speed makes subframes, sway bars, control arms, axles, springs, and more. It's hard to put into words how good their cars are, so you'll just have to watch one of Matt's One Takes to get his word.

We have the whole Forsberg Racing team! What's it take to go from amateur to sponsored driver? What can autocross, sim racing, or rally do for your driving? How long can a GT-R engine last? All these questions and more get answered on this episode, because we have all the drivers of Forsberg racing! 

3-time Formula Drift champion, Chris Forsberg @chrisforsberg64 , has expanded his team to include some up-and-comers: 

Alex Jagger is competing in Formula Drift Pro Spec, the tier just below FD Pro. He's won multiple Rally America National Championship stages and began drifting in 2014. @jagger277 

Representing the grip side of things, Bryan Heitkotter is proof that sim racing can get you a ride in real cars. In 2011, he became the first winner of the Nissan U.S.A GT Academy talent search. He's also an SCCA National Autocross champ, and placed 3rd in the Dubai 24 Hours. @bryanheitkotter 

We're going to hear the stories of how they came up the ranks and why Chris chose them.

John Temerian is the CEO of a vintage exotic car dealership has the life story to back it up. He runs Curated, a Miami-based dealership that buys and sells investment quality “blue chip” cars. Think classic exotics like Countach, Miura, CLK GTR, XJ220, Bugatti EB110s, etc. John has owned, bought, and sold, hundreds of cars and his knowledge runs deep. He has great insight, stories, and a love of cars that is infectious. We go back to his youth when his dad decided to sell Lamborghinis, took him for a ride in a RUF, and couldn't understand why John liked Renntech Mercedes.

We’ve been making this podcast for 10 years thanks to listeners like you. Since the beginning, many people have asked us to get rid of the ads, or leave the live streams up a little longer, or get more content. Well now we have a solution for you! (Don't worry, the show will still be available for free)

 By becoming a patron you can watch the live stream, ad-free episodes, get access to the shows long before the general public, or even get a special once-a-month crew show that is only for our Patrons. And it all starts at just $3 a month. 

Read about the tiers below or hit the link to see a thorough description.  Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thesmokingtirepodcast 

Here’s how it works. 

TIER 1: You’re on our Pit Crew! 

 Want to watch the podcast live stream? This is how you do it. The day before the show, we will share the link to the live broadcast with the community and you’ll get a notification when it goes live, so make sure you keep your notifications on. 

Tier 2: Crew Chief 

The Crew Chief is one of the most valuable members on a race team so we’re giving you a lot of value. Tier 2 patrons not only get to watch the live broadcast, they also get ad-free episodes from this day forward. When we publish the episode for the general public, you’ll receive a notification that ad-free versions have been posted right here on Patreon. What if you want to listen on the go? During a commute? We got you covered. Our patron-only RSS feed contains ad-free versions of episodes (starting with episode 650) and our entire back catalog. That's all our content in one single subscription. 

Tier 3: Pro Driver 

Let’s be honest, drivers get the best perks. Drivers get everything the other tiers get PLUS: Early access to episodes - Missed the live broadcast? No problem. The moment we end the live stream we publish it for you to enjoy on your schedule. No more waiting a week or two for it to be published. And, we will record 1-hour crew show, airing once a month, that's only available to Pro Drivers. We'll dive deeper on the cars we've driven AND answer your questions.

Mike Musto is the ambassador of all things muscle car and full of car-life wisdom. He’s been a journalist for twenty years, avid track-day driver, car flipper, hosted /BIG MUSCLE, and beat up his ‘68 Charger on the show “Bullrun”. He's currently the Director of New Media at Hemmings.

Tory Belleci is a host of Motor Trend's new show, "Motor Mythbusters". On the show, Tory -along with Faye Hadley and Bisi Ezrioha - will investigate, debunk, or prove all the automotive myths, legends, hearsay, and stunts, using real science. He was also a host on the original "Mythbusters", which ran for an incredible 12 seasons. 

"Motor MythBusters—coming only to the MotorTrend App, August 4, 2021—picks up where the Discovery Channel classic left off, but tackles each myth with a gearhead-minded focus and a more in-depth look at the process—not only the carnage at the end."

Dan Prosser is an automotive journalist based in the UK. He's written for the best mags (EVO, Top Gear) but has just launched a new digital magazine app called The Intercooler that he co-founded with Andrew Frankel. It's a car magazine that brings the best writers together to write great stories, without being tethered by advertisers. Seems like a clever idea. 
 

We have a great chat about his unorthodox start in the business, eraly press cars, the silly power of a business card, what's good (and bad) about cars today, driving a Corvette to Le Mans at age 21, and his Alpina A110 daily driver.

We talk about his recent motorcycle reviews, crashing, advanced dirt riding, what Harley is up to, upcoming Radwood events, and his new project, Autotopia2099.

What's it like to go 212MPH in the McLaren F1 press car? Race a vintage Ford at Silverstone? Go head-to-head against Chris Harris in a Citroen 2CV? Andrew Frankel knows. He is the kind of automotive journalist that we admire. He's a great writer and driver, he's driven some incredibly special machines, and he's British, so he has 48 different words for "crash". His newest venture is TheIntercooler, a digital magazine that's quickly growing in popularity, and for good reason.
