Sie ist eine der besten weiblichen Rennfahrerinnen unserer Zeit. Simona hat sich ganz alleine die Motorsport-Leiter hinauf gearbeitet und stand sogar kurz vor einem F1-Cockpit. Warum es nicht geklappt, wie dieser Rückschlag ihr Mindset gestärkt hat und wie sie heute mit Unsicherheit und Ungewissheit umgeht, lernen wir in dieser Folge. Außerdem folgt sie seit kurzem (!) ihrem Traum, an den olympischen Spielen teilzunehmen - im Bobfahren! Aber vor allem hat sie mich damit inspiriert, dass sie in diesem einen Leben, das sie hat ALLES tun möchte, das sie sich vorgenommen hat. GOALS!!! Ganz nach dem Motto: "Sei frei und wild und wunderbar" sozuagen ;) Mir persönlich hat diese Folge super viel gegeben, weil ich mich in so vielen Aussagen wiedererkannt habe... ich möchte unbedingt hören, wie es euch geht!!! Let me know!! Genießt die Folge, erzählt einem Homie von Team Lisa, folgt und gebt 5 Sterne. It would mean the world! Und jetzt ganz viel Spaß mit: Simona de Silvestro! **Schnitt und Postproduktion: Andy Aksen** https://www.aksenmedia.de/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyaksen/

Christina Lam is a racing driver for several series, is an instructor for Skip Barber and NASA, as well as a frequent contributor to Grass Roots Motorsports magazine.  We first started following her as her “After A Crash” 9-part series started a few months back and became instant fans of her approach and her dedication to racing, education, and giving back to the racing community.  On this episode, we go over how she started to be involved from a point of little knowledge and car/racing influences to where she is not only competing at national events, podiuming many times, and instructing others to improve their skills.  It is a fantastic and quite rapid journey from newbie to racing veteran and her latest challenge last season will inspire you and hopefully get you to reach further towards ever higher goals.    On our Dominating with Dawson, Ben goes over the difference in driving approaches for endurance racing, autocross, as well as various types of sprint racing.    We hope you enjoy the episode!   Best regards,   Bill, Vicki, Jennifer, and Alan Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training podcast and team members in the GHiT Immature Endurance Racing Team   Highlights from the episode include: 1)  We have had a long, long work week in the garage, so long that Vicki blanked on her name for a moment and Bill can’t spell SCCA, lol. 2)  How she started off racing in Autocross one weekend and then had the opportunity of a lifetime drop in her lap a short time later (driving on a little place known as The ’Ring). 3)  Christina’s first time on track was her first time driving a stick.  This may be a good rival for what we ended up doing to Jennifer at her first race at Thompson Speedway.  Not our best plan, but we did learn from it. 4)  We share post-race hangover stories and several great ideas for further race cross training.  Rally, V8 supercars, Ice racing, so much fun to be had, so little time. 5)  What is involved with being a one-person team and how she accomplishes all that is required for a race weekend.  The big key is prep.  Second rule, prep.  If you need a third rule, be prepped early. 6)  We go into her accident last year and how she recovered, both physically and mentally, as well as her new race car. 7)  What is involved with an SCCA protest 8)  How Christina found her #46 M3 shell to start her new build 9)  How much sleep she lost while working to prep for new car the upcoming 2019 national SCCA Runoffs in 60 days. 10)  Christina goes into the plusses and minuses of an E46 M3 vs E46 330’s etc 11)  Christina shares some of her nerves and almost PTSD after the wreck, what she had to work through and  getting back into the car on track at VIR 12)  What it is like being a female in a predominantly male sport at the track. 13)  How Christina’s first car quickly turned into a second car.   Honorable mentions and sponsors that have helped Christina along the way: Drive Gear Racing:  for arrive and drive ice racing.  Seems like a terribly great idea.

On today’s show World Footprints explores the plight of the endangered Panther, we chat with one of the rising IZOD Indycar stars Simona de Silvestro, and we also view Catholicism through the lens with Father Robert Barron. As a special bonus, we added some sound bytes and interviews from the DC Stop Modern Slavery walk to end human trafficking. Panthers once roamed the entire southeastern United States; from Florida to South Carolina and Louisiana. However, the panther was added to the Endangered Species List in 1967 and today the remaining population is isolated in South Florida. The Panther population has dramatically decreased but many efforts are being made to save this beautiful animal from extinction. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is at the forefront of the Panther conservation efforts and Park Ranger Sandy Mickey from the Florida Panther & Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuges joins us today to talk about some of these initiatives. Then, we enjoyed a chat with one of the IZOD Indycar series rising stars, Simona de Silvestro. Simona is one of a handful of female Indycar racers and she is one of the most prominent racecar drivers on the track. Simona hails from a country where auto racing is banned but she has made a name for herself as one of racing’s brightest young stars. She is the first woman in Atlantic Series history to have earned the most wins and pole positions, and the IZOD Indycar Rising Star Award. Finally, we will talk to Father Robert Barron, the Francis Cardinal George Professor of Faith and Culture at Mundelein Seminary and a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, about his new PBS series Catholicism. This documentary illustrates the history and treasures of a global religion shared by more than one billion people around the world by exploring art, architecture, literature, music and all the riches of the Catholic tradition. Father Barron was joined on his two-year around the world journey by acclaimed filmmaker Mike Leonard, a veteran correspondent for NBC‘s Today show and producer.
