This week, the In Wheel Time crew is working on some 'chores' this weekend, so we are offering a selection of some favorite episodes this year. We will be back in the studio November 15, 2025, and we hope to see you then. Until then, travel safe!
In Wheel Time – November 08, 2025
A 15-year-old American podiums in France, trains on a historic family kart track, and preps a KZ shifter for SuperNats—this conversation with Truly Adams puts you trackside with a teen who’s chasing F1 the hard way: one tenth at a time. We dive into how karting sharpens the instincts that matter—trail braking, rotation, race starts, and battling through 60-kart grids where the top 30 can be separated by a single tenth. He shares how he balances homeschooling, constant travel, and year-round testing while keeping the physical and mental edge to jump between karts and formula cars. We unpack the ladder from French F4 to F3, F2, and ultimately F1, highlighting why an academy series with spec cars levels the field and spotlights driver skill. Truly explains differences between spec and open setup environments, how tire management and car feedback decide outcomes, and why selection to the Feed Racing finals was a crucial step. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hit 93 mph an inch off the ground, or how temporary SuperNats circuits change strategy, this is the inside line. Beyond the interview, we hit key motorsport beats: Formula One’s late-season stops, NASCAR championship weekend, and NHRA in Las Vegas. We add perspective with quick auto history snapshots—from friction-drive transmissions that paved the way for CVTs to the first Honda cars built in the U.S.—and check current industry headlines, including shifts in EV production. It’s a fast, informative ride for fans who love the craft, the calendar, and the deeper stories behind the stopwatch. Follow Truly @ truly_thetruth on Instagram to track his next steps. If you enjoy our show, subscribe, share it with a fellow race fan, and leave a review to help others find us. What part of the ladder would you climb first—karting mastery or a jump straight into cars? Let us know. Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!

From Riverside Karting Legacy To French F4 Podium: A Young Driver’s Rise
Two engineers walked away from the safe path and built an icon. That’s the spark behind AMG’s journey from late-night tuning to a seat at Mercedes’ top table, and author Matt DeLorenzo brings the full story to life with factory access, rare photos, and details that rarely leave the archives. We dive into the early moonlighting years, the audacious 300 SEL 6.8 “Red Pig” that shocked Spa in 1971, and how race wins turned a side hustle into the performance heartbeat of Mercedes-Benz. Matt helps us connect the dots from privateer sedans to the Hammer era, where a V8-stuffed E-Class redefined fast luxury for the U.S. market. We talk about German touring car glory, the first co-developed C 36, and the strategic moves that led Mercedes to buy AMG outright. Inside Affalterbach, the one-man-one-engine philosophy still stands, with each builder signing their work. That culture of accountability and craft underpins halo cars from the SLS Gullwing to the AMG GT, proving AMG can design from a clean sheet, not only tune. There’s a fascinating twist next door: HWA, Hans Werner Aufrecht’s outfit, building GT race cars a stone’s throw from AMG’s campus. It keeps competition central to the brand’s identity, reminding us that stopwatch data still shapes the street. We round out the show with a practical review of the 2025 Kia Telluride—trims, towing, real-world fuel economy—and a nod to Marco Andretti’s retirement, a closing chapter in a storied racing surname. If you love motorsport history, engineering craft, and the stories behind badges that actually mean something, this one’s for you. Hit follow, share it with a fellow car nut, and leave a quick review to tell us your favorite AMG moment. Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!

How Two Engineers Turned AMG Into A Legend
The Chevrolet Trax 2RS pairs a sporty aesthetic with practical efficiency for urban-and-suburban drivers. It uses a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder producing 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. With an EPA estimate of 28 mpg city/32 mpg highway, it’s both affordable and efficient. The 2RS trim adds 19-inch black-painted machined aluminum wheels, sport-accent interior with red stitching, black grille badging and high-gloss mirror caps for a more aggressive style. Inside, there is a 11-inch HD touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated front seats and steering wheel, and available advanced driver-assistance options such as adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross-traffic alert. There is cargo space behind the 60/40 split rear seat for light weekend adventures. When looking for an affordable sub-compact SUV that blends sporty styling, modern tech and solid efficiency — the Trax 2RS is a compelling contender. ------------------ 🔔 Ready to get into the world of cars?

Going Vericle with Vega….
The 2025 Kia Telluride pairs a 3.8-litre V6 producing 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque with an 8-speed automatic transmission, offering either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. With seating for up to eight and a robust towing capacity of up to 5,500 lbs on select trims, it’s built for both family duty and weekend hauling. EPA fuel economy ranges roughly 20 mpg combined (FWD) or about 18-20 mpg combined (AWD). Its updates include standard second-row side airbags and a 12.3″ dual-screen display system, elevating both safety and tech. In short: the 2025 Telluride remains a strong value in the three-row SUV segment, blending space, power and elevated features. ------ 🔔 Ready to get into the world of cars?
