Jeff Braun, race car engineerJeff Braun is one of the best race engineers in the world. During our conversation, one thing became apparent – the one thing that might be why he’s so successful (8 Sebring 12-hour wins, 1 Daytona 24-hour win, 7 IMSA/ALMS/Grand-Am championships, etc.). What is it? He thinks like a driver. So when Jeff talks about driving, drivers should listen.

Jeff and I talk about his favorite drivers that he’s worked with; the difference between the best drivers and the rest; one technique that the best drivers focus on to be really fast; one thing a driver can do on their own to help tune the handling of their car; and what the strangest question he’s ever been asked.
