MP 747: The Sounds of IMSA, 1992 Del Mar

Transport yourself back to IMSA's 1992 season finale on the cramped Del Mar street course, run next to the San Diego-area horse racing circuit, where some of the fastest most famous GTP cars did battle to close the year. Thanks to the ambient audio captured by our friend Brad Bernstein, we get to hear the All American Racers' Eagle Mk IIIs, Mazda RX-792Ps, Chevy Intrepids, Nissan NPT-91s, the iconic Formula 1-engined Jaguar XJR-14, and a bevy of GTP Lights cars representing Acura and Buick wind around the narrow 1.6-mile Del Mar track.
AAR's P.J. Jones was victorious at the October 11 race, followed by Geoff Brabham in his NPTI Nissan and Davy Jones in the TWR USA Jaguar.

MP 744: The Week In IndyCar Special Feature with John Andretti from 2018

John Andretti's visit to The Week In IndyCar show in January of 2018, not long after his colon cancer diagnosis was revealed, was my favorite episode back then and remains so today.

MP 732: Corvette C8.R In-Car Audio, Daytona 2020

Take the first in-car audio ride with the brand-new Corvette C8.R, courtesy of Corvette Racing.
With the mid-engine supercar being readied for its debut in IMSA's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the team placed our Marshall Pruett Podcast audio recorder directly between the 5.5-liter V8 engine's exhaust pipes, and with the trio of Antonio Garcia, Jordan Taylor, and Nicky Catsburg flying around the high banks of Daytona International Speedway during testing, the unique pitch created by its flat-plane crankshaft is captured creating a clear sound separation from its front-engine predecessor, the title-winning C7.R.
