Eyes of the racing world were fixed on Daytona International Speedway as the IMSA 2023 season finally got underway, and the return of the exotic GTP/LMDh class was front and center. But, hold the steering wheel. While the GTP teams dealt out more than a few doses of history and drama, there was plenty of heart-stopping excitement from other classes, accompanied by intrigue, behind the wall heroics, and one veteran driver who dropped the mic in perfect fashion for his final moment in the cockpit.

The return of their exotic GTP Series has IMSA primed for unprecedented growth in 2023. Are these cars really ready, and how will it affect other classes in races such as the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona? Saudi Arabia seems to be primed for another run at "sportswashing" their image and spending billions for Formula 1. But could this negatively affect everything and everyone in the series from manufacturers down to the casual fan? Formula "E" is growing faster than anyone expected, due to excellent racing and a social media plan that should be the envy of every other racing league. Are they on track to be a racing powerhouse?

Michael Andretti has a lot of juice and money, but is that enough to get past picking a fight with the most powerful motorsports league in the world? Has the time come for Mike to shut his lip and stop making a mess with Formula One? Kevin Harvick is retiring and heading for the Hall of Fame, but that makes one think about hat makes for a "sure fire" HOF'er? What about character? And speaking of characters, how insane does one have to be in order to take part in races such as the Dakar Rally and the Isle of Man TT? Buckle up and join Greg Creamer, Calvin Fish and Ed Berliner as they go "no holds barred" with the top motorsports issues of the day in another edition of "Full Throttle: Speed Trap", Powered by Race for RP.

The rejuvenated LMDh/GTP series will make it's return to IMSA in January of 2023 ar the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. The manner with which teams are testing would make one think there are nuclear secrets involved. IMSA cracked down on the amount of media allowed at the Daytona testing, and judging by some of the tests, there is already one team and one manufacturer on the verge of doing all the damage in 2023. Add to that there's a run on top notch drivers from other series who smell blood in the water when it comes to defeating the high-powered GTP teams next year. Join Host Greg Creamer and NBC Motorsport analyst Calvin Fish as they dig into the mysteries and the predictions.

It's rare indeed that a father and son get the chance to not only compete in the same sport, but to both be on the front lines of taking home trophies. Here's the life of the Musials, Dave and Dave Jr, who also has a specific nickname to tell them apart. Not only are they mainstays on the Ferrari Challenge circuit, but they share an interesting side note that features DC, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a rather odd pairing of cartoon heroes. Host Greg Creamer gets in the grill with the Musials, and takes us into the interesting dynamic of a Father vs. Son on the racetrack.

2022 was more than just a year of successes on the race track. It was a breakout time for The RP Foundation and Race for RP in our drive to find a diagnosis and a care for the debilitating autoimmune disease, Relapsing Polychondritis. With the help of donors, sponros, Ambassadors and the fans, amazing strides were taken forward in the fight against RP. Join "Full Throttle" Host Greg Creamer and RP Foundation President David Bammert for a look at a year to remember, and preparing for a new year we will never forget.

In the race for checkered flags, drivers and their teams muster every ounce of desire and courage every time they strap into the seat. When the "Race for RP" teams fire up the engines, they are focused on more than just winning. They are focused on every aspect of what can lead to that checkered flag. That is exactly what Dan Smith did when it came to driving home a point about Relapsing Polychondritis. Afflicted with the disease and having gone thru the painful and perhaps deadly consequences, Dan decided to do something about it, using his faith, and his feet. Meet this RP Warrior, who gathered his team, his resolve, fired up the engines, and figuratively drove to the winners circle.

It remains one of the most explosive wrecks in motorsports history. At Road America, a driver in competition for the victory has a piece of car suddenly tear off, and all Hell breaks loose. Katherine Legge was in that car, and her reaction after the incident, along with the idea of what her Father was going thru in watching it all transpire, is a truly engrossing tale of how racers deal with adversity and family. Legge was also part of another historic moment on track, when she got behind the wheel of the DeltaWing, to this day one of the more astounding and interesting set of wheels to ever grace a circuit. Let's go 1 on 1 with this pioneering driver, hear the rarely told stories, and then find out what she has in mind for the future. Here's a hint: it's all about bringing new minds, hands and feet into the sport.

Didier Theys is globally regarded as one of the best racers in modern history. His skill has taken him to podiums at the 24 Hours of LeMans, the 12 Hours of Sebring, IMSA competition and other forms of open wheeled excellence. Now, he has taken those decades of skill and imparts them on those who seek to turn a passion for racing into serious competition in the Ferrari Challenge. There's much more to this than just teaching someone how to hit the gas and turn left or right. There is a science to this teaching, and Theys remains a master. Join Greg Creamer in going 1 on 1 with the legendary Didier Theys in learning how almost anyone can turn a love of being behind the wheel to a turn in the winners circle.

In the IMSA GTD class, there are 4 distinct ratings for drivers, two of which are considered "amateurs" because they're not cashing checks with plenty of zeroes. These drivers are the backbone of the sport, and perhaps it's about time FIA started recognizing them for the excellent racers they are. One of those from the Bronze category just so happened to be part of the winning team at the 2022 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, and he' believes it's about time things changed. Buckle up and let's go 1 on 1 with Ryan Hardwick, part of the outstanding Wright Motorsports team, as he makes his point, and then some.

There is nothing in the world of motorsports to compare with "Gridlife" events. This is more than just racing side by side and banging paint. It's about being the best on a solo track, drag racing, drifting, and more of an event and a lifestyle than just plain old tooling down the track. When it comes to being one of, maybe the best, there is at what he does on this demanding circuit, no one can touch the success of Tom O'Gorman. Get behind the video wheel and learn more about the wild trip it's been for this 2022 Gridlife Champion.

Bryan Herta has indeed led the charmed life. From being thrust into an IRL/IndyCar set by fate and then delivering competitive victories, to being fortunate enough in watching as Dan Wheldon took advantage of a last lap gaffe to capture one of Herta's victories at the Indianapolis 500, and now taking his experience into perhaps delivering the next American Formula 1 star to the world in son Colton. Buckle up for an exclusive and revealing "1 on 1" with Herta as he discusses life after the cockpit, how he chooses the best driver, and if he misses those days behind the wheel. Special Correspondent Jamie Howe steers the conversation in his special episode of "Full Throttle: Powered by Race for RP".

It is the culmination of a dream come true for those who worship at the altar of speed and performance. The chance to get behind the wheel of a specially tuned car breathing horsepower, at a track that is the most technologically-equipped facility in the world. This is "The Concours Club", just outside Miami Florida and just this side of making those dreams come true. Greg Creamer goes "1 on 1" with Aaron Weiss, a solid competitor in his own right as part of the Ferrari Challenge, and one of the visionaries behind "The Concours Club".

Much like the salary cap in many American sports, Formula 1 has a "cost cap" whereby teams can only spend so much in order to at least maintain a public persona of trying to be fair and competitive. Red Bull has been caught red-handed breaking the rules, but in reality, they could care less. They, like every other manufacturer, have gobs of cash, they have titles in hand, and they can pay out any fine and not give a damn. Is there any way to fix this nightmare, or for that matter, does FIA even care?

The US Grand Prix has become a rousing success at COTA over the last 10 years, and the 2022 version promises to once again set attendance records, despite the sky-high cost of tickets. It's a sign that racing organizations such as IndyCar and NASCAR need to heed, because the more F1 grows in America, the fewer sponsorship and fan dollars there might be to go around. NASCAR viewership is fading, so could fans be making a switch?

Yahn Bernier once thought he was going to be another lawyer, but fate had something much more entertaining in mind. Taking his analytical talents to the world of video games, Bernier was part of the group that created "Half Life", one of the most successful video games of all time, which gave him the chance to indulge in his passion for horsepower and motorsports. There are more stories galore as Greg Creamer goes "1 on 1" with the developer, designer, creator and legend in the world of video games to one who now hits the track with a chance to get behind another type of joystick and entertain the fans.

Let's go 1 on 1 with Mike Shank, the man behind the 2022 IMSA Weathertech Championship due to his unbridled passion. We talk with Mike Skeen, the hardest working man in motorsports who will drive anything and win. Then there's Porsche champion Laurin Heinrich, who reveals he never had a passion for racing as a kid, and how that all changed.

Winning at any level of any sport takes more than just individual effort. It takes passion, dedication, and most important, leadership. There can be no winning without that person at the top of the pyramid who comes to the table every day determined to not just win, but to build a dedicated team that is, frankly, more family than employees. Mike Shank has done just that, culminating in the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech championship secured at Road Atlanta and the Petit LeMans. Join us for a candid and revealing 1 on 1 with Shank just prior to bringing home that checkered flag. Think you know what makes Mike tick? You will after this conversation.

Mike Skeen is one of those rare breeds in motorsports. He's just good at everything he does, and often excels behind the wheel. He will go anywhere, race anything, and give it a level of professionalism and competition unmatched on many tracks, whether asphalt or dirt. Greg Creamer caught up with "The Hardest Working Man in Motorsports" as he prepared to challenge the Road Atlanta track for the 2022 Petit LeMans. No matter the weekend, look and you will find Mike on track, honing his craft, and dicing for every inch.

Fair to say that in every sport, you find that most champions always dreamed of being the star athlete, Whether it's slapping home the game winning score or taking the checkered flag, young boys and girls seem to always reveal they were living the moment from the day they emerged from the womb. However, there are exceptions. Take Laurin Heinrich, for example. Already a champion in road racing around the world, and who admits he didn't bask in future glory as a kid. So then, what DID he think he would become?

The beginning of a new era in IMSA racing as everyone anticipates 2023 and the renewed GTP. A racing Hall of Famer tells a tale from his days at the original Miami Grand Prix no one has heard before. THe lady gened of LeMans, Leena Gade, recalls how growing up in a difficult UK made her tougher and prepared for every challenge.

As a child, some of her first memories are of growing up in a United Kingdom that for her and her family was anything but united. She learned early about the hurdles she would have to overcome in order to follow her passion of Formula One motorsports. Of course, racism was just one hurdle, for who ever thought a woman would one day rise to become the first engineer to lead a winning team at the 24 Hours of LeMans, and then exceed that accomplishment winning the event two more times? Join us for a very special and insightful 1 on 1 with Leena Gade, for the first time ever discussing those moments of fear and wonder that steeled her will to be a trendsetter and a champion.

Once upon a time, there was a motorsport that captivated the streets of a major city downtown, despite having a first race washed away. The Miami Grand Prix was truly a core moment in the growth of IMSA across America, with truly exotic cars captivating the attention of even the novice racing fan. Bill Adam was there those many years ago, and he cannot contain his excitement at the return of the GTP class in 2023, harkening back to those heady days. In this exceptional 1 on 1 with a masterful driver and broadcast analyst, Bill also tells a story that he has never told before from those Miami days.

IMSA is on the verge of beginning a new, and yet, old way of capturing road racing glory. While the venerable DPI class is bidding farewell, manufacturers are scrambling to be part of the renewed foray into the truly exotic sports cars, the LMDh class, or as it's about to be better known, the resurgence of the GTP class. 2023 will see these world class race cars take to the IMSA track, and already there is plenty of talk about which manufacturer has an edge. Could it be Porsche, Audi, or someone else?

A preview of the grueling IMSA season finale at Petit LeMans. 1 on 1 with Ricky Taylor, preparing to defend yet another title as he leads the First Family of road racing in America. 1 on 1 with Jan Heylen, who gambled everything and won bug in coming to America and joining the Porsche racing effort.

Wayne Taylor was already a racing legend when he decided to start his own team. Strapping in with a determination and a savvy of understanding the business on and off the track, he has built his organization into the First Family of finishing first. Part of that current mantle has been superbly accepted by son Ricky Taylor. Already a proven and multiple winner across numerous racing genres, Ricky prepares for the 2022 IMSA season finale at the Petit LeMans with the casual, fun and targeted style that has vaulted him into the top of his craft. Let's go 1 on 1 with Ricky Taylor, hear some excellent stories about being in that family, and how he will approach another championship run at Road Atlanta.

Started as a counter to the legendary 24 Hours of LeMans, the Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta is more than just an American version of a global racing event. Couple that demanding track with a grueling 10 hours of competition, and you have one of the more mentally challenging races anywhere in the world. This season, IMSA finds itself with a season climax showcasing the very best in tight competition, where title are coming right down to the wire. There has rarely been such excitement for one weekend, and we thus turned to someone who has intimate knowledge about what it takes to face this track and this event. Let's go 1 on 1 with veteran IMSA announcer and analyst Jeremy Shaw, reviewing how the Petit LeMans got started, and what makes it a "must see" event for every motorsports fan.

The difference in European and American road racing is as wide as the gulf between Watkins Glen and LeMans. One driver rose thru the ranks of Euro racing to become a success, but he knew something was missing. He also knew his level of skill and how it would be appreciated in America. So he took the gamble, succeeded at the highest level of open cockpit racing in the US, and then turned his dream int a friendship that powered his way to Porsche racing while also feeding a passion based on his heritage. Let's go 1 on 1n and meet Jan Heylen, who has merely scratched the colonial surface on what he can accomplish.

For a powerful sports entity that would seem to have every issue in hand, Formula 1 at the moment appears to be more like "Amateur Hour" when it comes to the simple issue of how to finish a race. Drivers and fans are seething at the latest episode of "How NOT to use a Safety Car to End a Race" at the Italian Grand Prix. Is anyone really crafting rules or making it up as they go along?

There is more to the fight in finding a cure for Relapsing Polychondritis than science. It's an effort that has attracted millions from around motorsports and around the world to get involved, and they are often led by our own "Pied Piper" of song. Where once she filled an arena with her magnificent voice as part of Cirque de Soleil, Denise Stefani now brings her talent to the RP Foundation and Race for RP effort with the original and the remix of her hit song, "ALL IN".

He is more than just one of the more legendary auto racers in our midst today. Helio Castroneves brings to every encounter a passion for the sport, a drive to bring yet another title to the team that put him on another Borg-Warner Trophy, an entrepreneurial spirit that is determined to help spread the thrill of being behind a wheel to those who desire a unique chance, and a smile that lights up every room, including one filled with other legends of the Indy 500 "4 Timers" club. Get to know "Spider Man" in this exclusive and very personal "1 on 1"

1 on 1 with Helio Castroneves, determined to win Indy 500 #5. Safety car disaster at F1. The voice behind "ALL IN" seeking a cure for RP.

1 on 1 with IndyCar star and FI hopeful Colton Herta. Has Jimmy Johnson aged out? Porsche Pyramid standout Zach Robichon. The Dr. chasing a cure for RP.

Despite the fact he is one of the best racers on the IndyCar circuit, Colton Herta seemingly can't catch a break from the powers-that-be in Formula 1 when it comes to qualifying for a seat in the series. Why is F1 being so stubborn, and what does it mean for his possible future? Jimmy Johnson has continued to struggle in IndyCar, and it's not wrong to question if he is too old for the circuit and may not make a mark other than to satisfy his desire to race. And why did IMSA back up on a controversial decision on the 2023 season? Let's go 1 on 1 with Motorsports Analyst Calvin Fish.

Colton Herta is one of the most talked about racers in the world at this moment, a young star on the IndyCar circuit and already being tabbed as the best bet for America when it comes to star power in the Formula 1 seat. McLaren believes in him, and so do countless others. But Herta remains rather unimpressed at the moment, choosing to let someone else handle those details and rumors. We'll wager you already know who that someone is.

To be the best behind the wheel takes dedication, a trait shared by those who put their head down and strap in every day for for the battle to win the race in finding a cure for Relapsing Polychondritis. Dr. David Beck is one of these, a self described "stubborn" professional who has already opened new and meaningful doors in battling against RP and other autoimmune diseases.

Every driver seeking to be the best knows it takes plenty of hard work, lots of travel, and being in the right place at the right time to get that shot. Zach Robichon is best considered the "poster driver" for what can happen thanks to the Porsche Pyramid, the ladder system proving dividends for plenty of racers.

There's a key to becoming one of the best there is at what you do. It's all about being able to multitask, and in motorsports, that means starting young and mastering the toughest tracks, tooling in the fastest cars, and having the enthusiasm that would lead to the possibility of greatness. Meet Nolan Siegel, who already has set some eyes his way in the 2022 season, and his dreams of not only being a legend on the track, but in helping the RP Foundation raise awareness in the fight against this insidious autoimmune disease.

In the annals of international motorsports, there may be no more engaging and incredible story than the rise of one person to legendary status in the world of LeMans. This is about more than just anyone, it's the fascinating tale told by Leena Gade, as she rose thru the ranks at Audi to one day be placed in the position of having the world's greatest endurance race, the 24 Hours of LeMans, right there for the taking. All she had to do was put aside those memories of almost being sacked to be in her seat on one day in 2011.

BIG changes brewing in IMSA and WEC when it comes to driver rankings, and it all could mean some interesting choices to be made by teams and drivers over the next few years. Classes going away, new classes being added, and in the end, it may all come down to who has the deepest pockets to make it all work.

Like any youngster, Andrew Davis dreamed of being an athlete, never losing sight of how one day he would be the man in the cockpit, touring around the circuits and heading for the checkered flag. Dreams that featured some of the true greats in road course racing, and all leading to that day where on of his heroes would be standing there, complimenting the kid who worshipped Hurley Haywood and that generation. Hear from the veteran IMSA driver and respected coach on how a chance meeting with Haywood changed everything.

Hear the tale from Gade herself in this engaging and engrossing tale of becoming the best there is at what she always wanted to do.

One thing difficult to teach young athletes of any kind is the lesson of "NO EXCUSES". In the Porsche Carrera Cup, where every car is identical, drivers such as Riley DIckinson learn this the hard way, in competition. We go 1 on 1 with this Rising Star, eager to learn his craft, destined to be a force to be reckoned with, and fully aware the pressure on him to perform and succeed without making any excuses.

Renee Brinkerhoff didn't start her motorsports career until her mid 50's, and has wasted no time making history. Taking an older Porsche and turning into something out of science fiction, she has conquered every continent, her final one the frozen and unforgiving tundra of Antarctica. But there was more to her foray across the icy landscape than just proving it could be done. Her end goal is to raise awareness around the world about the insidious crime of child trafficking, putting her own life on the line in bringing this issue to the fore using motorsports as her vehicle.

The Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation has made incredible strides bringing awareness to their effort, to learn more about and to find a cure for RP. Motorsports and IMSA are at the core of their drive, and it takes people such as Jon Morley to make it stick. One of the most respected coaches in the business, still behind the wheel of his Race for RP car, an original Ambassador for the RP Foundation who knows intimately the stories behind what motivates the effort, delivering major strides in the fight against this autoimmune disease.

The car of tomorrow in motorsports may very well be an electric one, and the success of the F-E Grand Prix around the world is proof. NBC Motorsports Analyst Calvin Fish has seen it first hand, and come away impressed with the performance and the fan friendly nature of the sport. But will it hold? Will fans enjoy motorsports without that sound and those speeds?
