Pit Box Podcast #37 - The Ultimate Formula 1 Calendar
Welcome back to another episode of the Pit Box Podcast! On this episode the boys discuss their own versions of the ultimate f1 calendar (of current eligible tracks). In recent years the F1 calendar has expanded to an all time high of 24 races & has had an increase in street courses. There's obvious reasons why this has happened, but is F1 moving in the wrong direction? The guys have come up with some interesting thoughts on what races they would keep & which races they wish to see make a return! Let us know in the comments below whose calendar you like the most, or give us your ultimate calendar! We appreciate the support as always & make sure to stay tuned for more in the future Follow us on IG podcast: pitboxpod Steven: igotsole21 Gartrell: supreme_trell Mary: tfti_fk8 Seb: sbstn.s Chris: carismah_

Pit Box Podcast #35 - A Dollar & A Dream with with NASCAR's Brad Perez
Welcome back to another episode of the Pit Box Podcast. On this episode we were fortunate enough to have Brad Perez on as a guest. Brad is both a mechanic & driver who has had an interesting journey into motorsports. Brad started in go karts just like most, & with his hustle & drive, was able to ultimately get a few one off drives in NASCAR's craftsman truck series as well as Xfinity series. He even is an instructor for BMW when he isn't racing or wrenching on cars. Brad is a true "dollar & a dream" story. His story is inspiring & reminds us all what can be done if you want it bad enough. Sit back & relax as he documents his journey so far! https://bradperez.com Make sure to follow us on Instagram Podcast: pitboxpod Brad: uhbrad Steven: igotsole21 Chris: carismah_ Mary: tfti_fk8 Seb: sbstn.s Gartrell: supreme__trell

Pit Box Podcast #25
Welcome back to another episode of the Pit Box Podcast! On this episode we discuss a few of the cars we liked from the New York International Auto Show. There were a few cars that really caught our attention. First up was the much anticipated GR Corolla. Then there's the new Z, which turned out to be an interesting discussion. We also discussed the new C8 Z06 Corvette. Listen to the end to hear the other cars that the crew talked about!What was disappointing was the lack of German manufactures in attendance. Usually they have a strong presence at the auto show but they choose to do their own things this year unfortunately. Thanks for listening and make sure to stay tuned for more!
