Another epsiode and another fantastic guest. Joining me for Episode 65 of Commentator's Corner is the legendary Aris Vasilakos, the man who was the legendary physics dev guru for Kunos Simulazioni, who is one of the most humble and kind people you could ever want to meet. He's since moved on to pastures new with the team at Wilder World, and he kindly took the time out of his busy schedule to chat to me about so many great topics. This includes his thoughts on the 2024 SimRacing Expo, his first impressions on AC EVO, and how sim racing currently is!

We all have our own path to tread on this world, some frought with more difficulties than others. This is very true of a good friend and supporter of the podcast - Hugo Goncalves from SimRacingHQ, who hosts the GearHeads Podcast. Originally from Portugal, he now lives just outside Silverstone, and is a very happy character. But it hasn't been easier for Hugo, especially with significant life-changing health problems, which include battling cancer. But he has battled his way through it and has kept so incredibly positive with the welcome assistance of his wife Kristina, who has been his rock. It's strange to see one podcast host interview another, but it is one of the very best episodes I've recorded so far. Muito obrigado, Hugo!

With the return of Traxion just the other week, it was a welcome bit of news for us all to hear, after their unfortunate demise last November.

I'm joined by good friend Tom Cairns, who first got his start with radio, and now works at F1 HQ in Biggin Hill as a Logger/Researcher.

Another expert in motorsport social media joins me for this next episode, as Lukas Wunderlich, a lover of all things aviation, talks about what drivers need to focus on when it comes to building a following. This is also a well-rounded discussion for drivers who want to interact with their fanbase, along with giving sponsors a good return on investment via social media. This is also very important to how a driver is perceived by what content is provided. He not only runs Wunderlich Media but also On Wheels Media, with the latter concentrating on some great female racing talent including Chloe Chong, Maya Weug and Tina Hausmann, which means he's pretty busy. Enjoy this one and see you next time!

People who have great experiences from multiple angles within motorsport are just as crazy as the rest of us, but when there are those that also work a day job, it means there is a lot of sacrifice along the way. From finding budgets to race at the ADAC 24 Hours Nürburgring Nordschleife, to being an Expert Host at the F1 Paddock Club, to also being a presenter and commentator in her own right, Laura Luft is a trailblazer in the motorsport scene. It's a real pleasure to have this awesome person, who did also secure a class podium last year with Adrenalin Motorsport, as our 50th guest.

Motorsport is a global phenomenon, and in Brazil, they are not only known for Capoeira & Carnival, but there has been plenty of talent that is well-known and much loved in this South American nation. There was only one person I felt who was right for this episode - Carlos Costa. Carlos works for Motorsport Brazil as a journalist, along with commentating for Motorsport TV on the Stock Car Pro Series and Porsche Cup Brazil, and is knowledgable and passionate when it comes to racing. I've had the pleasure of working alongside him on Stock Car English commentary for the first trip to Cascavel and then Buenos Aires last year. We talk about quite a lot, but it mainly is about Stock Car 2024, along with the new cars that will début in 2025, so enjoy!

I've met a few personalities and characters over my travels, and one person who is still a really good mate and someone I can just have banter with is DJ Liveris. He was running for a number of years with European karting outfit Daems Racing in the Rotax MAX DD2 class, almost securing the BNL Karting Series title in 2019 and was so close to winning the Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy. He's now in the USA, based out of Indiana, studying Mechanical Engineering at the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. We reminisce about those old karting days and also how we both see the future of the automotive industry, whilst talking about cars in general.
