FREE BONUS: The Hyper-Nerdy Sim Racing FAQ — with Balázs Remenyik
About this episode
Balázs Remenyik is a professional sim racer and the official simulator development driver for the Citroën Formula E team. He’s also chief instructor at the Speed Secrets Sim Racer Academy, where INTC co-host Ross Bentley is founder and head coach.
Sam and Balázs talked earlier this year—Sam called him up to get a pro sim driver’s insight into the topics discussed on this week’s main-feed show.
This is one of the world’s best sim racers walking through the basics of digital driving. On top of that, Balász talks about getting started in sims—how he kicked off a hobby that led to a pro career.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
It’s Not the Car is a podcast about people and speed. We tell racing stories and leave out the boring parts.
Ross Bentley is a former IndyCar driver, a bestselling author, and a world-renowned performance coach. Jeff Braun is a champion race engineer. Sam Smith is an award-winning writer and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine.
We don’t love racing for the nuts and bolts—we love it for what it asks of the meatbag at the wheel.
