Overland Journal Podcast host Ashley Giordano is joined by Canadian race car driver, X Games athlete, stuntman, and Baja 1000 champion Andrew Comrie-Picard in this episode, which touches on his childhood in Alberta, Canada, and how his love for driving challenges launched his automotive career.

The conversation continues with an in-depth look at Comrie-Picard’s latest project, the Trans-Global Car Expedition, the world’s first wheeled surface navigation through both geographic poles, including the importance of a good team, the scientific outcomes of the project, and a run-down of the expedition vehicle fleet.

Comrie-Picard also dives into developing a strong sense of self-belief, his experiences in Northern Canada, and the outcomes of an Arctic test trip where an F-150 fell through the ice.
