There's nothing quite like the freedom, pride, joy, and escapism a car can bring. Whether hitting the perfect apex on a track, riding with the windows down and a nice summer breeze flowing through the cabin or spending hours detailing your pride and joy for a show, there is a community for you. Community brings connection, and through connection, belonging.Lonely Drivers Driving Club is a podcast hosted by Trevor and Justin where we explore the topics of mental health, grassroots motorsports in Australia, F1 and personalising our cars (along with the many "not planned" aspects of them) in the name of growing the car community in Australia, and hopefully expanding it beyond our borders as well.We interview guests who share similar insights so you can learn from their stories and grow the car community even further. Not every guest is a car guy/gal; however, the insights they share are worth sticking around for.Hit subscribe and/or follow, and we look forward to having you in the passenger seat, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
