The Deep Track, Ep. 40 - Justin Bell

Blake Buettner
About this episode

This week we’re thrilled to welcome former race car driver and current media personality Justin Bell to the podcast. Fair warning, this week’s episode features a lot of F1 and racing talk, with very little in the way about watches. Justin Bell is full of incredible stories after a life as a championship winning race car driver, including a class win at the 1998 24 hours of LeMans in the legendary Team ORECA Viper GTS-R. In this episode, we discuss the current F1 season, how things have gotten surprisingly competitive, and what to make of the blossoming rookie drivers leaving their mark on the season. We also chat about Justin’s racing career, including advice from his dad, racing at Le Mans, and more.
