From the publisher
Business of Speed is the definitive, deep-dive into the money, power, and technology driving modern racing. We don't report the race, we pull back the curtain on the strategy behind it. This show treats global racing as the ultimate laboratory for competitive advantage, focusing on the high-level business decisions that shape the sports. We move past passive sponsorships to explore how teams, brands, and executives leverage racing for technology transfer, cultural relevance, and operational impact. This is where the C-suite goes to learn how to harness velocity into a sustainable business advantage.

Ep 24Justin Bell on the Gap Between Talent and Obsession
Justin Bell is a world championship-winning driver, the son of five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell, a motorsport broadcaster, and someone who will tell you exactly what he thinks whether you ask or not. That combination made this one of the most honest conversations we've had on Business of Speed.We go deep on what it's really like to be a second-generation driver — not the PR version, the actual version. Justin talks about discovering racing at the Formula Ford Festival as a teenager, getting humbled by Mika Häkkinen in his 25th race, and the gap between raw speed and the mental infrastructure to maximize it. He draws a direct line from his own career to Lando Norris and explains why both of them could have become "almost men" without the right support.Justin reveals for the first time that a heart attack at 44 played a role in his transition from driving to broadcasting. He explains his philosophy of live TV: that you should be on the verge of getting fired every broadcast, and why modern motorsport commentary has lost its edge. He also breaks down how he pitched his show at the Wynn, why fashion became a strategic brand decision, and the story about a 10-million-follower creator who couldn't sell tires versus a 30K account that moved real product.If you care about motorsport, personal brand, and what it actually takes to build a second career after the helmet comes off, this one's for you
