Espitia","episode_count":33,"summary":"Off The Racing Line is the podcast where motorsports gets real. Forget the polished, perfect moments. We dive into the chaos, the mistakes, and the breakthroughs that happen when you stray from the racing line. From racing to HPDE and instructing, host Carlos Espitia sits down with racers and coaches who’ve been there, done that, and lived to tell the story. We’re talking about the unfiltered side of racing—the lessons you don’t hear about in the driver’s meeting. It’s not just about speed; it’s about the hard truth of pushing limits and facing the unexpected.
