The Racing Ear Podcast
Hello my name is Trent Barr and thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast. I have been a passionate historic sports car racing fan since I was a child and I started my first version podcast back in 2014. I started going to historic sports car racing events and audio recording racing cars in the paddock and on the track. Then I started up again and I wanted to interview people who have been in the racing industry.
I have been involved with hosting this podcast with 2-Time 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner, Rick Knoop and Auto Racing Engineer, Jeff Oldham. I have been involved in over 40 episodes of interviews through the kindness of Rick and Jeff with very well know figures in the racing world.
More recently I started podcasting again by going to events and just being a Huell Howser-esque kind of interviewer / fan talking to people about their cars, whether they own racing cars, classic cars, or are just racing fans just like me. I look forward to doing more interviews in the future as well as attending more historic sports car racing events in the future as well.
Thank you so much for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast.

TRE Ep 27 Yokohama Drivers Cup visit to Sears Point International Raceway
Send me a message. I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!
Hello again Racing Ears,
I had a great opportunity to be a guest at the 2021 Yokohama Drivers Cup at Sears Point International Raceway. This event featured Porsche racing groups but it was great to see the Masters Historic Racing groups as well.
The Masters Historic Racing group featured a Historic Formula 1 racing group and a Historic Endurance Racing group. I got to catch up with Bud Moeller who was a guest on my podcast for episode 8 back in late March 2021. He was driving the 1982 Williams FW08 that Keke Rosberg drove in Formula One racing.
Lord Greg Thornton drove the Elio de Angelis John Player Special Lotus F1 car to 2 victories both on Saturday and Sunday. I got to chat with him on Saturday after his brilliant win, clinching the Masters F1 USA Drivers Championship.
I also got to see and hear the amazing Chevrolet Corvette C7R from the IMSA series back a few years ago. I also got to chat briefly with Danny Binks who is known from the world of Corvette as the Crew Chief for the Pratt and Miller #3 Compuware Chevrolet Corvette. He was involved in many racing victories with the Chevrolet Corvette. This car raced from 2014 to 2019.
This episode includes a series of sounds and interviews that I recorded to post on this podcast.
Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast.
