Want to become a pro race driver? Then quitting isn’t an option. In this episode of the Motorsport Prospects Podcast, I talk with Rob Howden, series Development Director and the voice of the USF Pro Championships, about the mindset needed to climb the motorsport ladder. Rob shares real stories of young drivers who pushed through failure, stayed disciplined, and made it to the next level. We explore the grit, focus, and resilience that define future IndyCar stars — and why true racers never lift off when things get tough.

In this episode of the Motorsport Prospects Podcast, I speak with renowned driver coach Ross Bentley of Speed Secrets where we discuss:

• The importance of having the right people around you.
• The power of polite persistence.
• Why people buy who you are.

In addition, since I forgot to ask Ross what his favourite racetrack was, I followed up with him after the recording and, as he could not pick just one, these were his picks:

• Canadian Tire Motorsport Park because of its fast corners.
• Laguna Seca because it’s fun and I love the Monterey area.
• Phillip Island in Australia because it’s beautiful and there are kangaroos!
• Spa because… well, it’s Spa.
