You are listening to Mist Apex Podcast.

We live at 1.

It's a watch-along.

I have no idea how this is going to go.

Welcome to Mist Apex podcast. I'm your host, Richard Reddy, but my friends call me Spaners.

So, let's be friends. We've decided to be brave and bold. And since it's the off-season, we've decided to do something different for our midweek show. We are going to be watching the 1999 European Grand Prix. There are links in the show notes, so you can either just listen

to us rambling on, or you can go to the link or just search on YouTube, search for European

Grand Prix 1999, go to 44 minutes and 53 seconds, find the

point where Murray Walker says, anyway, and then it goes on to like Damon Hill side on,

going around the final turn of the Nureberg Ring GP layout. So Matt, two rompitz is here. Matt, you pick this

Grand Prix. This is your fault. I did and I said it in the pre-show and I'll say it again now. I

picked it specifically for you. Me? Because in 1999, they added a fourth groove to the tire.

And if there's anything you are not tired of being in favor of, it's groove tires.

Groove tires, man.

And by the way, really interesting tire chat and something that comes up through this watch along

is that you have the tires go out and you can pick soft, you can pick hard,

but actually there's a phase where once the grooves wear out, they turn into slicks.

Slicks. Slicks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, the tire chat is fun, but also ageless, tire chat is always

appropriate in motorsports. Chris S in our patron Discord point points out that this is going to be the

best historic race watchalong Miss. Apex has ever done.

And so this is completely unknown territory for us.

So if you are listening, just know if you're listening without watching along with the race, there is going to be some pauses.
