We sit down to answer your questions, and we promise \u2013 there are no dumb questions, maybe just some dumb answers. Sam Smith joins us again, and we talk a little about the new podcast we\u2019ve just launched (it\u2019s live now!), called &#8220;It\u2019s Not the Car.&#8221; Please go check it out right now, subscribe to it, and let us know what you think. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>On this episode, Jeff, Sam, and I answer two great questions: 1) what do you do, and how do you think differently, when you don&#8217;t know what to do next, and 2) all things RWD downshifting.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff is one of the very best race car engineers in the world. He\u2019s engineered cars at every level, and every type: NASCAR, karts, club racing cars, Indy, GT and Prototypes, and even Top Fuel dragsters. But what sets Jeff apart from many engineers is how he can explain what he\u2019s doing, what a car is doing, and even how the best think.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Smith is a brilliant and hilarious storyteller, a writer, an amateur racer, and a journalist. Over the last 20 years, he&#8217;s written for outlets as diverse as the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Wired<\/em>, and Hagerty Media. From 2012 to 2020, he was executive editor and then editor-at-large at\u00a0<em>Road &amp; Track.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2448\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-45701-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/?powerpress_pinw=45701-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/speedsecrets\/NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"NDQ25_Jan_-_11-28-23_14.03.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%3D45701\" 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>Welcome back to another episode of No Dumb Questions!
