BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast

In this round of ”What Should I Buy?” the debate continues with special guest John C from Project Motoring as we explore ”open air motoring” and make some suggestions on V8 powered convertibles.

Lemme tell ya’ll a story, a story, about a man named... Mountain Man Dan! In this member profile episode, we take a moment to get to know long time GTM member, and Mountain Region chief Dan S a little better.  This is a Patreon Special re-release if you’d like to get access to more content like this without having to wait, be sure to like, subscribe and support us on Patreon.

The GTM ”book club” reviews ’The Gentleman Driver’ - A documentary that follows four tycoons who moonlight as Motorsport competitors and examines what fuels them to succeed, both at work and on the track. Now, some of you might be thinking, this isn’t new, this particular film debuted in 2018. That’s true, and even then the content was from the 2015-16 WEC/LEMANS/IMSA season. But it happens to be new to us, as a “recommended to watch” by Netflix.  What is a “Gentleman Driver?” - The film frames the answer during the opening credits with a subtitle screen that reads “At the highest levels of sportscar racing, teams are required to include at least one amateur driver in their lineup. These men are often successful entrepreneurs who can afford to compete in this elite sport. They are known as Gentlemen drivers.”

Within the GTM community, the debate of which car should I buy? never seems to fully end. Whether it be: what should I buy as my first track car? my backup car? my new daily? … or I just want something different. We discuss our Top-10 starter Motorsports (track) cars. Pros/Cons of each and ultimately leave the decision up to you. Read more: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/the-neverending-debate-what-car-should-i-buy/

Merriam-Websters dictionary defines Fellowship as “a community of interest, activity, feeling, or experience … a company of equals or friends” — We are proud to say that GTM as a whole epitomizes this sentiment. Over the years we have definitely banded together in times of need. We wanted to take a moment to recap some of the more memorable adventures, and also explain why our Podcast is called ”BREAK/FIX”

**SPREADING MOTORSPORTS ENTHUSIASM SINCE 2014** Oftentimes we say “It’s not about the destination, it’s all about the journey” So in our very first episode, we introduce ourselves to the world at large, and answer the questions: Who is GTM? Where did we come from? And where are we going? Gran Touring Motorsports is a “Non-Traditional” Motorsports Club started in 2014 as a social group of Car Enthusiasts.
