007: There's SO MUCH MORE to Going Fast Than a Power Figure [#PODCAST]

What does it take to run multiple cars at some of the world's toughest endurance races? Is the life of a top-tier race engineer as glamorous as it all seems? And what's the difference between GT3 and GTE classes anyway? Listen to this week's 'HPA Tuned In' podcast to find out.

Race Engineer Arne Peeters has spent the better part of the last decade working across Europe and North America for both OEMs and race teams alike, all in the never-ending hunt for more performance and better results. In this episode of HPA's 'Tuned In' we discuss how Arne set his career in motion, his time spent perfecting OEM vehicles for the mass market, and the many intricacies and challenges involved with running teams in endurance racing across the world.

We also spend time talking about the big gap between amateur drivers and true professionals, and how important it is that a racecar's setup accurately reflect a driver's skill level — something that can be quite challenging when you have people of different abilities on the same team. The importance of understanding and making the most of aerodynamics is also delved into, as well as thoughts on achieving the perfect car balance, the compromises that need to be made to have a career in top-tier motorsport, and plenty more.
