Give me a cowboy with spurs and give it shoes and welcome to Shift F1 to podcast about speedy race cars. That is American.

Diner slang for give me a western omelette or a Denver omelette with fries and make it a to go order because we're in America this week and I just love diner food. I'm Dr. Scanlon joining me Danny. How are you Danny?

Now I want an F1 race in Denver. I want to see the athletes to see how they do at altitude.

Yeah, driving is a car. Yeah, it's too easy. We need to we need to really make them squeeze their lungs a little bit harder.

Yeah, but the field goals go much farther also joining us Rob Zachney. How are you Rob?

Not bad a little. I'm kicking myself because my partner texted me this week and she was like, is the USGP happening this week?

And I was like, yeah, and that's what hit me. I was like, that's right. She had business in Austin. And so she's down there and apparently like she's probably staying at hotel where like the Ferrari pit crew at least is staying.

Really? Yeah, she's like, there's a lot of sleepy guys. Sleepy guys and red Ferrari jumpsuits at the bus. Sleepy or sleepy.

Oh, come. And there's two like showroom grade like Ferrari street street cars like parked outside her a towel. So, oh my gosh, my self is like, well, shit.

She already had tripped on there. I would have just piled on the back of that and been like, let's go. Let's go see the race. Let's let's pay those scalpers prices. I don't give a shit.

I'll probably give a show once I paid. Yeah.

If you're new to this podcast, a very warm welcome to you. And if you are new to Formula One itself, we have an episode just for you. Our preseason primer assumes no prior F1 knowledge and explains how the sport works and who everybody is.

So if you'd like to go listen to that, it's episode 137. Also the show is supported entirely by our audience over at patreon.com slash shift F1 where every month we release bonus podcasts and videos exclusively for our patrons.

They cover racing documentaries and films, F1 video games experiments with other racing series and a lot of weird things. So if you'd like to support the show and get access to all of that fun stuff, head over to patreon.com slash shift F1 or click the link in the show notes.

What do we have going on this month, Danny?

Later this week, we're recording a life of speed, the one Manuel Fangio story. Well, we're not recording the documentary. We're recording our impressions of the documentary, which will be up either later this week or next week. We'll figure that one out.

I've also got a track guide for Coda going up this week and I'm going to check out that horizon chase turbo.

Send a DLC and stick that up on the channel next week as a sort of in between or while we were waiting for the Mexican Grand Prix to come around.

But yeah, loads up there. This year's been jam packed full of patron exclusive podcasts and videos. So join up today and get access to all of it.

And you can be just like, you know, if you're a crazy person, you want to put our the name on the side of our F1 car, our sort of podcast car, sort of like a metaphorical car.

You can be just like these people whose names you now know and love Jason Kelly, Will romp, Umberto, Roca, Troy, stammer, circuit demon, Reagan, Snigs, Connormick Manners, Joe Roberts, Jason Chadwick, Abdullah, Althani, Bailey foot, BPM, Drew Stewart, Simonville, Love, David Mule, Josh Haynes, Track to Share, Narly Goat, Veal Shanks, last week's newbies, Iron Station Studios, and this week's newbies Anna Fagan.
