Cheryl Glass was consistently the first Black woman to compete at countless race tracks across America, but her legacy has been tarnished by a complete misunderstanding of mental health. #cherylglass #womeninmotorsport

He was a legend of American racing, but one morning in 1988, Mickey Thompson and his wife were murdered in their own driveway. Yet somehow, his life was even more incredible than his death. It's time for a new DPTJ: linktr.ee/deadlypassio...

Only five women have ever entered a #Formula1 race, and today, we're talking about the absolutely chaotic life of Giovanna Amati, whose kidnapping when she was a young woman didn't stop her from pursuing her dream of motorsport. #giovannaamati #f1 #womenshistorymonth #womeninf1

Born on March 18, 1937, Mark Donohue was one of motorsport's most incredible and tenacious engineering minds. #markdonohue #penske #teampenske

Only five women have ever entered a #Formula1 race, and in honor of Women's History Month, I'm celebrating every single one of them. Today, we recognize Olympian Divina Galica, who traded her skis for a steering wheel. #f1 #divinagalica #womeninf1 #womenshistorymonth

The most challenging part of this recipe is sourcing the ingredients (and trying to be patient while the delicious-smelling braise bubbles away all day). But after that, all you need is a little patience and a big appetite!

Trying to sum up “Chinese cuisine” in one dish is a near impossible task — so for the #F1 #ChineseGP edition of Grand Prix Gastronomy, I'm focusing on the Shanghai region and cooking a local favorite: hong shao rou, or braised pork belly!

New Substack!! The Australian GP was the first F1 race featuring Apple TV as a broadcaster......... and I have some thoughts. deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/an-honest-...

Happy #ChineseGP week! #F1 has been racing in China for three decades, but it only just seems to be gaining a foothold there — and in this week's YouTube video, I'm digging into why! youtu.be/5ZhRC-FrUic

Did you know that the first, permanent race track in the entire WORLD was built in Australia? 🤯 How's that for some #AustralianGP lore? #f1 #formula1 #australia

Only five women have ever entered a #Formula1 race, and in honor of Women's History Month, I'm celebrating every single one of them. Today, we remember Maria Teresa de Filippis — the first woman to compete in #F1!

#OnThisDay in 1938, American motorsport icon Janet Guthrie was born. She would go on to become the first woman to compete in both the #Indy500 and the #Daytona500.

As political movements turn to "tradition" and war threatens to destabilize the world order, I've been thinking a lot about what it means for me to spend so much time embroiled in the ultra-traditionalist world of motorsport history. deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/studying-h...

Coincidentally, I just read the passage on Niki Lauda's experience of this race - which he won - in his memoir My Years With Ferrari. He was concentrating so hard on getting the most out of his car that was damaged by the debris from the accident, he didn't realize Pryce had died until after.

At the 1977 South African Grand Prix, Tom Pryce and a young marshal were killed in one of #F1's most horrific accidents, bringing home the importance of more robust safety training. #formula1 #tompryce #f1history

The #AustralianGP first joined #F1 back in 1985, but Formula 1 drivers were competing Down Under decades prior in a little something called the Tasman Series. youtu.be/1ovZYb9hYZI

Meet the man who brought Watkins Glen to life: Cameron Argetsinger. Did you know his WHOLE goal for the track was to host a Grand Prix, even before #F1 existed?

#OnThisDay in 1940, a legend was born. Happy birthday, Mario Andretti! #indycar #f1 #motorsporthistory #marioandretti

For as much as I love a good out-of-print book, I have quite a few online resources I use when I'm doing motorsport history research! These are a few of my favorites: deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/the-best-o...

I hope you're ready for one of my most controversial motorsport Takes: the FIA super license system evaluates IndyCar fairly, actually. youtu.be/P0vwKXbL5KI

If Charles Leclerc drops an album anything like Jacques Villeneuve's… In 2007, #F1 champion Villeneuve released ‘Private Paradise,’ a bilingual acoustic rock album that instantly became one of motorsport's weirdest deep cuts. #formula1 #jacquesvilleneuve #motorsporthistory #f1lore

Around this time in 1949, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing was founded. #nascar #nascarhistory #motorsporthistory

Back in the 1940s, a bunch of racers, hustlers, and dreamers packed into a Daytona Beach hotel to tame stock car racing's Wild West. What emerged was the sport we know as #NASCAR today. #NASCARhistory #motorsporthistory #daytona

Did you know… even Enzo Ferrari's birthday is up for debate? Believe it or not, the founder of the iconic Scuderia has THREE different birthdates listed in the record books! #ferrari #enzoferrari #scuderiaferrari #motorsporthistory

New Substack! I haven't stopped thinking about "Your Mom Races Rally" since I read it. I hope this review explains why (and convinces you to get your preorder in!!) deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/your-mom-r...

California's Riverside International Raceway had everything to make a successful #F1 race… but some spats between its promoter and the media may have led to its downfall. youtu.be/fT3wn8FzNTc?...

Interlagos is a formidable piece of #F1 history at this point, providing some of the best races of the year — but it's still pretty tough to beat its first championship Grand Prix back in 1973. #formula1 #f1history #interlagos #braziliangp

What could childhood have been like for a young Enzo Ferrari? American journalist Brock Yates had an idea. #f1 #ferrari #scuderiaferrari #enzoferrari

Before the invention of LiCo… there was Ronnie Peterson. His competitors called him the SuperSwede and Mad Ronald for a reason: he was one of the quickest drivers in the #F1 world, with an insane, driftworthy natural talent. #f1 #formula1 #f1history #ronniepeterson

Picture this: You're snowed in, channel surfing, and suddenly, you witness the fight heard ‘round the world. That's exactly what happened at the 1979 Daytona 500, the first #NASCAR race aired live flag-to-flag. #nascarhistory #motorsporthistory

Have you ever wondered why American drivers never seem to make it to #F1? I've got answers in my latest YouTube video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMMH...

25 years later… and Dale Earnhardt Sr. is still as present in the hearts of #NASCAR fans as he was at his prime. 🖤🏁 DPTJ is kicking off with an investigation into what made Earnhardt an American motorsport myth. #nascarhistory #daleearnhardt #theintimidator

Imagine winning an #F1 race… and it counts for nothing. 🥴 In 1981, politics were so messy that the South African Grand Prix lost its championship status. Carlos Reutemann won, but walked away with no points, no money, no trophy… and no title. #formula1 #f1history #motorsporthistoryub

What do you do when the FIA hands you a bad super license agreement? You go on strike. #f1 #f1history #1982driverstrike

I had the joy of chatting with Kelly Conroy — the mastermind behind Your Mom Races Rally and author of an upcoming memoir by the same name — about writing, content creation, and the importance of finding joy in hard times: deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/q-and-a-ke...
