In this episode, we kick off the 2025 grassroots racing season with a recap of our first endurance event and talk through how our schedules are changing this year—some of us are expecting kids, others are just trying to keep a car running! We get into the thick of BMW M2 cup car racing and how it stacks up in amateur series, plus the surprising discontinuation of the Porsche Cayman and what that means for track day enthusiasts. There’s also a deep dive into brake pad setups, from endurance durability to street/track compromises, and how pad choice affects everything from confidence to consistency. Whether you’re wrenching in your garage or chasing podiums on the weekend, this episode brings honest insight, relatable stories, and real-world track talk.
