- Secrets dished! Stories told! Firsthand accounts from an INTC host who works in the paddock! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll ponder the nature of human morality!
This episode's title implies a question. For the long answer, press play. The short answer is, "very effectively".
Sometimes.
Mostly.
(Insert push-to-Penske IndyCar joke here.)
This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. We call this format "Jeff Shares a Secret."
This episode is just Jeff and Sam. Ross couldn't make it -- he was busy [redacted] a [redacted] while [redacted] because the moose had [redacted]. But that's okay, because the Dallara was [redacted] and you can really only eat so much [redacted] before you [redacted] anyway, right?
Related Trivia: We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
It’s Not the Car is a podcast about people and speed. We tell racing stories and leave out the boring parts.
Ross Bentley is a former IndyCar driver and an internationally renowned performance coach and author. Jeff Braun is a championship-winning race engineer. Sam Smith is an award-winning journalist and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine. Together, we explore the emotion at the heart of the machine.
We don’t love racing for the nuts and bolts-we love it for what it asks of the bag of meat at the wheel.
New episodes every Tuesday.
A retracting the radio antenna on a new Corvette rented from Hertz was good for almost + 1 MPH. The flip up headlights cost 4 MPH.
Nothing against Sam or Ross, but I could listen to a whole season of Jeff stories. His Dinner with Racers appearance is one of my favorite podcasts ever.
You've earned my subscription. Congrats on 1000.
Thank you!
Same here. I love the driving pov, but being an engineer in real life, I of course like that side of the stuff better. It's what I nerd out on.
bro i remember when i subscribed you had like 200 subscribers, and that was like a couple of weeks ago. congrats on 1k
I love the grayish areas of the rules. When running in NASA Performance touring with an engine swapped car, I had to submit a dyno sheet stating the maximum horsepower of my swapped engine. As it was based on horsepower to weight ratio and I felt a lighter weight would benefit my car, I had it tuned for a lower horsepower but that lowered horsepower was achieved for a broad 2500rpm range.
Loved this episode! Would really love to hear more about when Jeff ran teams at Indy, especially with Scandia and Alboreto in 1996.
Fantastic episode! Really enjoyed the Jeff stories.
One of the most blatant (type 1) cheats was probably the Toyota Celica turbo in the early nineties.
Rules of class. "No modification except in specification line". Specification line gives an "allowable performance parameter" that is not obtainable under base rule stock motor design . So to meet the allowable performance parameter of all vehicles is that considered an exception , and the modifications to at least meet that capability, legal? Hmmm .
Told you cant modify....I argue you have written exceptions and a performance spec (compression) that is allowable. Games.....
Creative engineering is never cheating...unless you get caught.
No mention of Mark Donohue's The Unfair Advantage?
We devoted EP 9 to Mark and The Unfair Advantage! czcams.com/video/q7zKtjP967Q/video.htmlsi=5IF5wjtoHgkY3j2H
The show is MUCH better when Sam keeps his introductory remarks to just a few minutes. Please, no more half hour monologues!
