In this episode Lefty is joined by David Loppini, an Italian RC racer and Formula 1 vehicle dynamics engineer, to talk RC racing, engineering, aerodynamics, and innovation in the hobby.
David shares his journey through 1/10 nitro on-road racing, his work with Matrix, and his career in Formula 1, now working with the Audi F1 project. We also discuss how concepts from full-scale motorsport—like data analysis, suspension geometry, and aero development—translate directly into RC racing.
The conversation also dives into the IWI Pit Watch, a new tool designed for RC racers that helps track lap times, pit strategy, fuel windows, and race schedules during events.
If you're into RC racing, engineering, nitro on-road, or motorsport technology, this is a great listen.
