The boys are back, and the couch is full with two guests in the studio for episode one of season two of "Brakes on Breaks." Our hosts are joined by Austin from Hiro's Hot Rods, who has become practically family by now, and the one and only Cooper from C's Customizing and collectiables, a friend who continually reinvents himself and consistently hits.

The podcast kicks off with track preparations for the 2026 season, discussing the status of everyone's projects, the changes in progress, and the number of tracks each person plans to hit over the spring and summer. Wooty shares his insights on various motors and outlines his plans for each build, while Austin discusses his first track car in many years—transitioning it from stock to its first track day. Be sure to keep checking in to follow along with his progress!

The fellas dive into current automotive news, highlighting Toyota's significant recalls on the new Highlander and recommending that buyers consider older models when it comes to Japanese 4x4 SUVs. They also discuss Hyundai's new Boulder concept, which aims to redefine the chassis-on-frame truck concept, as well as the new Prelude race car that ditches electric power in favor of a 2.0L turbo engine.

Finally, the guys talk about Formula 1 as the new season gets off to a thrilling start. However, questions arise about whether it can truly be considered racing if drivers must slow down to recharge, and whether strategy should play such a significant role in a sport meant to showcase the greatest drivers. As Senna once said, "If you're not going for a gap, you are no longer racing."

Tap in.

Go racing!
