We really do need some updated merch!!

Fun fact: The spotter for the Proton Mustang GT3 that crashed was sitting at that corner in turn 5. He was at our tent for a good portion of the race until we left.

@Hinch just as a reference for how slow I am... lol. What was your time around Road Atlanta in iRacing??

We need Hinch back in an Indycar seat

7am to 3pm , 3pm to 11pm and 11pm to 7am , they get paid to have lunch or half a lunch while on duty. Off duty and Auxiliary Traffic cops get paid OT for special events. Every locale is slightly different but that's basically how it goes.

As an F1 fan I think of rain as something that makes the races more interesting. Why do you avoid wet racing at Indy? Is it a safety thing? Btw, traditional wedding cake, which is full of sugar, steeped with alcohol and coated in sugar icing, will keep pretty much forever in an air-tight container. Keeping a tier for the firstborn's christening party used to be a thing in the UK.

So James has been signed to provide live commentary for Zak Brown's daily activities. Got it.

Remind me to never vacation near anything Rossi even likes

Hinch is voice of indy... They can't go without him.

Like #95 Watching you on F1 COTA Sky coverage; today you interviewed Max V, pole sitter and extraordinary driver (#2 Best on Earth after Kyle Larson) and his "special" [cheating] car (yawn). . . .you are the best. Always look foreword to seeing you on TV: Great vid as always. 17:39; sorry Mr. Rossi, James is not an idiot. I also watched Petite LeMans with the lights going out on the car during dark, night racing !!!! And the car crash that was so dangerous. Anyway, keep up the good work !!!

One other thing, about the crash that took R. Taylor out while leading. That was really bad. To be clear, a bit different from what James said, RT said he didn't see the car AT ALL. A replay from his in-car camera showed the cars he was following, a whole little group including GT cars he wanted to pass, and it was like : CAR!-BANG. I'm thinking he did see the car, but virtually as he was about to hit it, like a matter of milliseconds between seeing the car and hitting it. It could have been REALLY BAD, like the crash at Donington that cost Billy Monger his legs, or the crash at the Rolex 24 that hurt Memo Gidley so badly. Something like that really needs to not happen again.

rumour is you guys use an American spell chekcer 😜😉

I would just like to offer the observation that, ever since I became aware of them watching sports car races, I have been endlessly amused by the name of Pfaff Motorsports, pondered in relation to British slang. (I am an American, but I still know about that one).

As a #10 Acura fan, I am perpetually in pain.

Hinch can stay with F1 tv. That’s fine

44:40 We have been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been, quite possibly, bamboozled.

Scotty Mac! Love him.

Wow it got a little dusty in here during that fan interaction story

what the sigma

16:46 Barber 2018 flashbacks

Experience wise it’s the Incheon airport in South Korea. They have all kinds of activities you can do to participate in and learn about Korean culture. They also have excursions out of the airport planned down to the length of your layover. Restaurant wise in airports I’m not so sure because I try to avoid those due to cost, but Austin has the Salt Lick Barbecue in the airport there. That’s a really famous barbecue place near Austin.

Nice to see Thim had the audacity to not brush his hair for this

7:59 what a moving story, I literally had tears in my eyes and I don't cry easily (nothing wrong with crying easily, just not my ususal reaction so I was surprised). Thank you for sharing ♥

a "sigma male" is as dominant as an alpha male, but is outside the male hierarchy, ie: a lone wolf.

Man referenced BTCC instant win. I wonder what they would be like at Cadwell Park…

No hinch?

Who the hell is Tim? He has access to every teams hospitality and the top floor of the Pogoda. He crashes every ones home without being arrested. Is he RP’s long lost son?

When you review the reality of the w series and the F1 academy drivers. The only female who has the talent and has gone forward is Jamie Chadwick and she dominated and is the only champion of the series which proves Katherines point. Katherine has won multi car races, set fastest laps and also won pole positions in her career. All drivers develop and that is a crucial part of becoming the best racing driver you can be so when you compete you are one of the fastest on track. I do not watch Nascar so when Danica left Indycar all I know is she got a very hard time. Her indycar results when you watch them back are still not matched. Her talent at racing wheel to wheel making passes in the top 10 consistently and leading the Indy500 and finishing highest of 3rd. Danica Patrick currently holds the record for the best finish by a female at the Indy 500, having ended in 3rd place in 2009. The superstar is also the only woman to have ever won an IndyCar race, as she finished first at the Japan 300 in 2008. The lack of respect she receives still is something that requires changing within female motorsports, maybe she prefers to distance herself as she is retired. I really want to see Katherine in a mixed team at Le Mans in a car and team that is competitive. Sophia Flörsch Doriane Pin Abbi Pulling are hopefuls showing alot of speed now. The Iron Dames project has made history on track with wins and fastest laps and pole positions. Club racing in the uk has now female racing drivers racing males and getting results but still not alot of media coverage. Other notable female racing drivers: Lilou Wadoux Michelle Gatting Simon De Silvestro Christina Nielsen Manuela Gostner Tatiana Calderon Sarah Bovy Rahel Frey Sarah Fisher Ana Beatriz Pippa Mann Sheena Monk

"The money fell through and it's not happening" - That has happened way too many times for Katherine in her career, that and or we have no money at all. Just to still be here racing and motivated is a win and motorsport is extremely tough for fast male racing drivers let alone being a female.

Multi cam editing is amazing!!!!

31:57 "This is just a part of modern motorsports, and not being willing to understand that times are changing and this is part of that change, is really just..." 34:26 "Let's embrace the fact that we're trying something new and it's got a really, really high probability of being successful and being awesome." As someone who started following this podcast this season and found this to be the first segment I've disagreed with, I spent a few days thinking about how I want to respond. I think that what this argument is running up against is the fact that the oval-heavy portion of the later part of the season produced some exciting races, and with the exception of Streets of Long Beach, most of the street circuits that IndyCar has gone to have tended to produce dull races. There are exceptions like Iowa this year, which was dull, but that's been the overall trend. There's also the problem that IndyCar's response to fan requests that the Detroit layout be changed has been to slam the door in their faces - and the fans don't like that. I personally want to see the split that it seems like IndyCar has been going for, with a third of the races on road courses, a third on street circuits, and a third on ovals - and that they should go wherever will produce the most exciting racing. If they can do that, then the fans will come. To me, it seems that Hinch wants them to go to all street circuits because that will maximize ticket sales, and I think that what you really need is exciting races for folks to want to follow the series. Get the exciting racing first, because that's what you need to grow the sport.

Good luck at Petite Hinch. Always tracking the Pfaff guys during the IMSA races.

27:32 So you're an investor, and this is a plug #advertisment

23:44 I believe the coverage said that there were two dead...

i love matcha lattes but i also don't drink coffee cause im personally not a fan

You guys do a lot of dunking on Thim, all in good fun of course, but let me say this. He is head-and-shoulders above the sidekick on another Indycar podcast I could mention.

Hey, Rossi called it "Hydro" , how Canadian!

Hunch said one last run with the NBC guys and IMSA just announced a multi year extension with NBC, does that mean he's moving over to FOX.

I just want to point out that American Alexander Rossi pronounced "foyer" the way Canadians (especially the french ones) pronounce it and neither Thim or James noticed it (and he did it twice). Is this because Alex spent alot of time in Europe? Just wondering. Also R.I.P. to the fire victims.

In my youth I lived in a rented house with 3 or 4 other guys. We had 3 couches that averaged 3 legs apiece, with bricks under a corner.

Are the mozzie patches B12? I took B12 tablets to combat mozzie bites while fishing. Didn't stop the bites, but it massively reduced the swelling and itching. Preferable to dousing yourself with DEET, IMO.

James in his influencer era

Thim went to USC. That explains EVERYTHING

So, when is the best time to administer the patch? Before a long evening, before bed, or in the morning? Appreciate the recommendation haha

Ultimate marketing: sell the patches on site at carb day

Chris is the assistant to Thim. That’s depressing.

If you guys want someone to come explain nascar playoff insanity on the show, I would highly recommend inviting Eric Estepp. Very knowledgeable, very chill, and unbiased. I would LOVE to see him with you guys! There would be so much laughter.😂

Is Tim Cindric as chill as Austin is? Cuz as Hinch mentioned, Austin Cindric is generally pretty chill.

I'm here to support the matcha latte addiction and to invest in the new company. I don't drink anymore but I'd be 100% pumped to make money off of people who do

Best in the business
