Young and talented racing driver Sophia Flörsch is as perseverant as she is fast. In this bumper-to-bumper she talks about what it takes to crash into a wall at 170 mph and still get back into a cockpit only four months later.

A wide range of cars bear the signature of (super)car design legend Frank Stephenson: from urban icons like the modern Mini Cooper or Fiat 500 to supercar milestones such as the Maserati MC12, the Ferarri F430 and FXX, or the McLaren P1. Now working on the future of mobility with his own design consultancy firm and as a YouTube design critique, Frank gives some insights into his life and his visions of the future in this inspiring bumper-to-bumper.

In this bumper-to-bumper we discuss this - and much more. Follow me: www.tim-bravo.com IG: @driveon.podcast Follow Misha: YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/MishaCharoudin IG: @mgcharoudin

A brief swan song to 2020, including an actual song to this covid-ridden year. A HAPPY 2021 EVERYONE! www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

As season 1 of Drive On is over, and Christmas approaches, this launch control reflects on the impact of Covid-19 on Christmas 2020, and why it might be "little-er", but should be just as merry as we are used to. A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Alex Hirschi describes herself as just a girl who loves fast cars. To the world and her 50 million followers, however, she is Supercar Blondie, the most followed car related content creator on social media. In this bumper-to-bumper she reflects on fame, machos and, of course, supercars. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Inspired by a trip to Dubai, some reflections on super, hyper and luxury cars, on Supercar Blondie and just my own very subjective view on things lead me to crown the Supercar Timi super car capital 2020. Can you guess which city will be awarded with this prestigious prize? www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Bestselling book author and ghostwriter Martin Roach is a very reclusive man. This bumper-to-bumper sees him open up about fast cars, loud music - and about dementia. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

In this launch control I reflect on what we should do when standing in the spotlight, and why we should share it more often rather than seeking more of it for ourselves. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Leadership doesn't mean having to stand in the spotlight, at least not for Italdesign CEO Jörg Astalosch. Tune in as he reflects on the importance of always putting your team first and his mentor who taught him that, the late and great Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch. We also talk about the future of the automotive industry and agree on meeting again on the racetrack five years from now. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Inspired by the last bumper-to-bumper, and on the occasion of Thanksgiving, this launch control reflects on the other side of the fence, on driving Porsche, on taking things for granted, on giving thanks. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Radio is traditionally huge in Mexico, as is the passion for cars. Tune in as José Ramón Zavala - the host of the nation's #1 car radio show Autos y Más (Cars and More) - talks about overcoming obstacles, being innovative, loving what you do, in order to not only get to the top, but to stay there. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr @autosymas @soycocheramon Twitter: @tim_bravo

This launch control uncovers the origins of how the legend of Tim Tonic began. Scene of the crime: Barcelona, 2014, a group of Mexican car journalists, Tim, and many, many glasses of Gin and Tonic. Nobody knows how many. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr Twitter: @tim_bravo

Form Follows Performance is the credo of Bugatti design. Its design director Achim Anscheidt is the perfect combination of both: form and performance. His unique style is a testament to elegance as it is to a mindful and sustainable lifestyle. And the performance aspect was basically passed on to Achim without any way to escape. Tune in as the Evel Knievel among designers talks about his inspirations, about looking back, looking forward sustainability and stunt performances. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast Early Achim Anscheidt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV8--vllbw4

I’ve been asked by many of you to not only have my guests tell their stories, but to share some of mine as well from time to time. Not all of you know me after all, so it’s only fair that you want to get to know me - your host - a bit better. And while I’m not one to long to stand in the spotlight, I’m happy to comply. So I decided to record some shorter segments about what drives me, Tim. I call it launch control, as it’s a moment that we can use together to stop, check all systems and then hit the pedal again, accelerate as fast as we can to get back to speed with the next bumper-to-bumper. www.tim-bravo.com Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr

Tushar Kelshikar is the secret agent of super cars. He has his ear on the ground, and his finger on the pulse of the super car scene. More often than not early information on the internet about super and hyper cars can be traced back to his passion project: www.thesupercarblog.com Tune in as Tushar speaks about how he started to build up his network of secret sources, and how he sees the future of the super and hyper car industry - and of his blog. Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr @dasupercarblog

John Hennessey is father to five wonderful children - and to thousands of performance cars. Tune in as one of the experts in ultra high performance and top speed drives gives an honest opinion on how a speed record should be approached. Always with ambition, with passion, and with fierce competitiveness, but also with respectful sportsmanship (and one or the other friendly jab). Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr @johnhennesseytexas @hennesseyperformance

Dieter Landenberger is a historian as well as a huge fan of cars and motorbikes. It's not surprising that he's become a veritable car scholar, working in the archives and the museums of major car manufacturers, and authoring a plentitude of books about automotive history. Tune in as Dieter gives us his view on the importance of looking back to move forward. Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr

Andy Wallace is a calm and friendly fellow, humble and smooth on and off the race track, but also a fierce competitor once he closes the visor of his helmet. This led him to victories in the 24 hours of Le Mans and the 24 hours of Daytona, among others, but also to two top speed world records. Tune in as one of the fastest men on the planet reveals how a race driver has to prepare mentally, and why in his private life he drives a BEV. (please note: the episode was recorded before the SSC Tuatara broke the top speed record of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+) Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr

Magnus Walker is anything but usual: fashion designer, car collector, Porsche 911 tuning icon, Grand Theft Auto character, even cooking and sewing instagrammer - there's just no way of categorising the Urban Outlaw. Above all, however, he enjoys the good life, his partner Hannah, his dog Willow - and getting quality drives in his cars. Tune in as Magnus describes what drives him in life, and explains why BEV can be quite electrifying, indeed. Instagram: @driveon.podcast @timbravopr @magnuswalker
