Beschreibung

Jamey is one of the most recognized photographers in global motorsport, 68 tracks deep, with clients across F1, IMSA, WEC, and IndyCar. What most fans don't know is that a significant part of his work has nothing to do with the shots that end up on your phone wallpaper. Tire photography. Technical documentation. Competitive intelligence. Teams spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it, it lives inside the budget cap, and it has directly shaped race outcomes. Red Bull pioneered it. Every team followed. Every team but one. We also go back to the beginning: growing up in Charlotte, finding Formula One on a satellite dish in 1998, becoming a licensed steeplechase jockey with 11 wins in 55 races, and picking up a camera in the jocks' room because nobody turns away a guy in a flak vest and riding boots. He learned by doing, built a following by refusing to let bad takes go unanswered, and somewhere along the way became the person Conor Daly and Colton Herta both feel comfortable teasing to his face. The conversation also gets into the structural gap in women's motorsport that the F1 Academy doesn't address, what Lewis Hamilton's paddock behavior costs the media that covers him, and why IMSA remains Jamey's favorite series to shoot. Topics covered: * Steeplechase racing, what it takes, and why he walked away when he did * Teaching yourself photography at horse tracks in full jockey kit * The spy photography economy inside professional motorsport * How a tire photographer contributed to Hülkenberg's Silverstone podium * The one F1 team that still doesn't use tire photography * Why the F1 Academy ladder has a physics problem, not just a pipeline problem * Engaging trolls as a brand strategy (it works) * Monaco, IMSA, Jordan Taylor, and what Lewis Hamilton does with his hand in the paddock Follow Jamey Price: Instagram: @jameypricephoto [https://instagram.com/jameypricephoto] Wednesday Wallpaper: jameyprice.com [https://jameyprice.com] Business of Speed: Newsletter + more at bizofspeed.com [https://bizofspeed.com]

Episode The Godfather of Porsche Racing: Alwin Springer Cover

The Godfather of Porsche Racing: Alwin Springer

Alwin Springer arrived in Toronto in 1965, planning to spend a couple of years before heading to the United States. He never really left racing again. On this episode, Vincenzo and Lali talk with the man Porsche calls the Godfather: a former mechanic, co-founder of Andial, and past President and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. Springer explains how three broken Porsche engines became his ticket into Vasek Polak's shop, how a confiscated Rolodex pushed him to start his own business in 1975, and how Andial's 935 won the 1983 24 Hours of Daytona before the 962 took over the decade. He also talks about running Jody Scheckter's Can-Am program in 1973, the seven months his team spent cracking the 962's engine computer with the help of a Silicon Valley engineer, and why he's advised Porsche Motorsport for more than two decades without signing a contract. Ask him about Balance of Performance, and he'll tell you the same thing he's told IMSA for years: he wouldn't take that job for a million dollars.
