During our conversation, one thing became apparent &#8211; the one thing that might be why he&#8217;s so successful (8 Sebring 12-hour wins, 1 Daytona 24-hour win, 7 IMSA\/ALMS\/Grand-Am championships, etc.). What is it? He thinks like a driver. So when Jeff talks about driving, drivers should listen.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff and I talk about his favorite drivers that he&#8217;s worked with; the difference between the best drivers and the rest; one technique that the best drivers focus on to be really fast; one thing a driver can do on their own to help tune the handling of their car; and what the strangest question he&#8217;s ever been asked.<\/p>\n<p>You can follow Jeff on Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/jvbraun\" target=\"_blank\">@jvbraun<\/a>, and learn more from him by following his Auto Racing Tech Tips Facebook page at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AutoRacingTechTips\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/AutoRacingTechTips<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please subscribe to the Speed Secrets Podcast on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/speed-secrets-podcast\/id1192075386\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>, share with friends, and leave a review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3247\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4103-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/?powerpress_pinw=4103-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Speed_Secrets_002_12-31-16.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/speed-secrets-podcast\/id1192075386?mt=2&amp;ls=1#episodeGuid=https%3A%2F%2Fspeedsecrets.com%2F%3Fp%3D4103\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_itunes\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Apple Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/9ea86275-9f66-45ea-98d0-b1815b249b07\/speed-secrets-podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_amazon\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Amazon Music\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon Music<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><p>Jeff and I talk about the favorite drivers he&#8217;s worked with, and why; what&#8217;s the difference between the best drivers and the rest; one technique that the best drivers focus on to be really fast; one thing that a driver can do on his own to help tune the handling of his\/her car; and what the strangest question he&#8217;s ever been asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speed-secrets-podcast"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4103"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4578,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4103\/revisions\/4578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
