  • Lynn Calder had no automotive history in her resume when she became CEO of INEOS Automotive, but that hasn't stopped the company from becoming one of the hottest things in recent years. Their rugged retro-styled SUV is now sold in 50 countries, filling a hole left by most of the OEMs.

    In this episode we ask how she got the job; what's in her garage; the reason the company was created; why the Grenadier has been so popular; the challenges that come with launching a new car company; the future of EVs and hybrids; and what's next.

He and Sam Smith (formerly at Road&Track, Automobile, Hagerty, and more) host a podcast called "It's Not the Car" that explores the history and technology of racing and why it's always the people behind the car that make the difference.

    Does a simulator need to be expensive to be helpful? Are motion simulators necessary? What separates good drivers from great ones How to win Le Mans if you never went karting Is "natural talent" a real thing? Why falling is good One-on-one coaching vs driving school Is a $20,000,000 simulator worth it? Why Checo should ride with Max

    Then Matt describes his evening at the release party for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2; updates us on what broke on his old Bentley; and finds out that Porsche gauges aren't always telling the truth.

  • Joey Seely is an engineer who builds some of the fastest unique Porsches on Earth. After cutting his teeth on Porsche Motorsport's race team, he co-founded BBI Autosport, then opened his business, Emotion Engineering. They focus on tailoring high-performance cars to the driver and environment using a mix of off-the-shelf parts and many of their own design. In a few years Joey has built a custom Pikes Peak car for Rhys Millen, ran Jeff Zwart's 935 campaign, practically created the modern overland Cayenne movement, turned a Turbo S into a Baja machine, all while continuing to learn, innovate, and push the limits.

    On this episode we talk about his amazing air-cooled Project Nasty; why a smaller-tire racing series is a good idea; what's "wrong" with a GT3; overrated paint colors; what he learned by doing things wrong; some of the tricks on Rhys' Pikes Peak car; carbon fiber costs; and so much more.

  • What began as the humble YouTube channel Everyday Driver has grown into a brand that hosts track days, produces films for Amazon, and organizes road trips for enthusiasts. Behind it (and in front of the cameras) since the beginning are Todd Deeken and Paul Schmucker, two of the nicest people in automotive media. On this episode, they sit down to talk about their track events, race track culture, the speed of today's cars, strange exhausts that skirt the rules, and more.
