Customer Reviews
Great listen!
Love listening to these guys, but their bias for Lando shines through often. Hard to avoid bias though in general.
Definitely Worth Following
The information comes from a more professional viewpoint and is a nice complement to other more fan-type podcasts, and the slightly “drier” presentation gives The Race it’s own identity. The contributors are all knowledgable and make their points well. If there is a weakness it’s that you have to go to a sister podcast for more techie stuff, when some aspects of this could probably enhance the discussions that Ed and the boys have. Plus Ed’s ratings do smell a bit of favouring the Brits sometimes. But generally well worth a regular visit.
Generic fans?
Guys. When was anyone not a generic fan unless they’re born into a racing family?
What about a new fan? What about a learning fan? What about people like me who found this sport 2 years ago and am learning and paying attention so I can build up a knowledge base?
Interesting dialogue. But wow. It would be awesome if you embraced the people listening to you. Maybe more of us are ‘generic’ than you think.
