The cat lady who drives cars. Check out my automotive YouTube channel and my F1 book, “Racing with Rich Energy” 💙 (she/her)
I was at a bar a few weeks ago asking who’d seen Heated Rivalry, and one person mentioned they were starting a book club with friends. I gave them my number and asked to join.

This existing friend group actually added me, and we met up last night to discuss the book and watch hockey. It was lovely

Dan McQuade was a kind, caring, and very talented friend of mine. I would love if we could all take a moment to read this story (and the comments from his regular readers) to remember him

My husband just finished running the iRacing 24 Hour, and there was a person in his race split named Ilia (with an i).

He said he saw the name and started thinking: “Shane Hollander… you are so boring”

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Heated Rivalry, so naturally, I wrote about the cars in the story and what cars I’d add.
