David shares his journey through 1/10 nitro on-road racing, working with Matrix, and how his career in motorsport engineering developed from RC racing into the world of Formula 1. We also dive into how concepts like suspension geometry, aerodynamics, data analysis, and simulation translate directly between full-scale motorsport and RC cars.
