Drive Like a Gazelle

Published: 28 March 2024

We meet Susanne, who has recently competed in the 2023 Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles. This is an ISO 14001 certified rally raid in which all of the drivers and navigators are women. They compete to drive on or off-road to multiple way points each day in the shortest distance possible, without using GPS. We find out what vehicles are the most popular to use and where to find them, how to communicate where few people speak English, how to navigate without GPS, how much does this cost and how does one get started in learning how to drive in this kind of event? Our trivia question concerns automotive production in Delaware. As a bonus, we find out what is the best kind of cheese if you are lactose intolerant.

Mangling Bollards At An F1 Race

Published: 21 March 2024

Misty isn’t moist but Tim is damp. A Chinese EV-prototype is built on the last remnants of Saab‘s engineering and we’re OK with talking about unsprung mass. Misty updates us about what’s going on in F1, including the latest indignity suffered by Phil the bollard, female progress in F3, and Danica Patrick’s anti-progress comment. We discuss problems with tow trucks and get into price-differences for auto parts and what you’re really paying for. Grand Trivia Auto keeps on truckin’! And if you’re a manufacturer of bollards, please sponsor us!

Big News with With Loxley Brown

Published: 19 March 2024

Dave is abnormally normal, Mickey and Misty have power washer issues, and Ben may have had a close encounter with an airbag. Loxley Brown joins us to share all the news about the big things happening with Athena Racing, but not without giving Dawn an awkward moment of silence. Loxley’s big news is that her girls get to go to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and see how everything works behind the scenes and meet some drivers. Big props to DHL for making it happen! Athena Racing/Club Athena is an excellent STEM college-sprep program for girls that you should check out and support! They’re doing great things. We also discuss what foods we have in our cars’ gloveboxes.
