Hi ,

The Motorsport Prospects Podcast hit all major streaming platforms on January 6, 2026—and it’s already striking a chord across the paddock. Drivers and industry insiders alike have embraced it, turning the first 10 episodes into must-listen content. What began as a bi-weekly release has quickly evolved; thanks to growing demand, new episodes will now drop every Wednesday at 10:00 AM EST. And if you think the opening run delivered value, just wait—we’re only getting started.

Meanwhile, this is what we covered on the News Racers Can Use blog last week.

After Karting: Your Child’s Racing Future

Last week’s Driver Development Roundup tackled one of the biggest—and often most confusing—transitions in a young driver’s career: what comes after karting. Moving into cars isn’t just a step up in speed and budget; it’s a strategic decision that can shape everything that follows. In this edition, I break down what parents need to consider when mapping that next move, from choosing the right series to managing expectations and long-term development. Along the way, there’s also a dose of perspective and motivation from the incredible story of Alex Zanardi, plus more insights to help guide the journey.

I also shared guidance on what to look for before signing with a motorsport agency, plus a few additional insights to help you navigate the business side of racing with more confidence.
