It's the 15th installment of the Inside The Sports Car Paddock interview show and we open with CORE autosport race engineer Jeff Braun on his approach to chassis setup at Mid-Ohio, where his IMSA team competes this weekend. Braun closes with a discussion on setup windows, how to work within tight or narrow windows, and whether an engineer can influence a small window where finding speed is elusive.
We move onto five interviews from Graham Goodwin, starting with Martin Brundle, who won his class in a VLN race on Sunday, then move to Oliver Webb, who tested a Ginetta LMP1 for the first time last week at Aragon. Filipe Albuquerque follows with thoughts on IMSA and the ELMS, plus the future of LMP1, Will Owen talks IMSA DPi with Juncos Racing and ELMS with United Autosports, and former Nissan Motorsports boss Darren Cox closes the show after winning his Citroen C1 class at the Silverstone 24 Hour race.
