Our host Michael caught up with FIAWEC, ELMS and AsLMS commentator and Editor in Chief of Dailysportscar.com, Graham Goodwin, for an AMA (ask me anything), with questions provided by the userbase of /r/WEC.
We covered a lot of ground in LMH, the ByKolles project, GTE's future and GTD-Pro, plus a few questions around the life of broadcasting, motorsport in general, and a few fun ones along the way as well.
Thanks to Graham for his time and participation, and of course to TheRacingLine.App for their support!
