The video series based on the popular Dinner with Racers podcast has found a new home on the MotorTrend+ subscription streaming service, as well as MotorTrend’s YouTube channel
In a new agreement fostered between both entities and long-time partner Continental Tire, the docuseries will continue by housing both new and previous seasons via MotorTrend’s streaming and YouTube platforms.
The first season of Dinner with Racers (with the exception of one episode!) is available now on both MotorTrend+ as well as MotorTrend’s YouTube channel.
Beginning as a podcast in 2015, Dinner with Racers features co-hosts pro-racer Ryan Eversley and PR guru Sean Heckman on a series of road trips, meeting up with motorsport industry figures “over dinner,” often driving to their hometowns to record a relaxed, away-from-the-track conversation.
The podcast has attrracted a diversity of guests from a huge range of motorsport disciplines, from four-wheels to two, pavement to dirt, with notable guests including Mario Andretti, Tony Stewart, Dario Franchitti, Mark Martin, as well as spotlighting behind-the-scenes personalities less known to fans from the worlds of event organisation and promotion, media and team management.
In 2019, Dinner with Racers ventured from podcast to television, launching a video series by the same name. Rather than simply filming their podcast sessions, however, every episode takes a one-of-a-kind docuseries approach, ranging from biographies and travelogues to even full cartoon episodes.
Season one episodes range from a look at the lesser-known Jamaican racing scene, to the one-of-a-kind history of VIRginia International Raceway, a colorful look at infamous car-builder Smokey Yunick, and even an all-cartoon episode of stories told by the late Bobby Unser.
Season Two, originally produced during the shutdown of 2020, will launch on MotorTrend+ in May, with YouTube availability in the weeks following. New seasons will then continue through the summer followed by their traditional winter release, with first airings appearing on MotorTrend+, followed by YouTube several weeks later.
