We go stateside again for my latest guest! This time it's Josh Green, who'll debut in Indy NXT this year, as he continues working towards racing in IndyCar!
Last year, Josh raced in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship for Turn 3 Motorsport, winning once and taking 4 podiums as he ended the year sixth overall.

Prior to that he'd spent two other years in the US F2000 National Championship series managing 6th and 5th across both years.
His social media channels are also worth watching as he creates videos talking all about the ins and outs of racing!
Onto Josh's answers!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? Chicanes! Especially with decent curbs to hop.

2. Long straights or slow corners? Slow corners are usually quite cool, especially in high horsepower high aero cars. The slower the corner the more the cars tend to move around.
3. Understeer or oversteer? Oversteer. Always oversteer. Always.
4. Fast circuits or techinical circuits? Technical, the nice flowy technical circuits are always the most interesting.
5. Wet races or wet/dry races? Full wet is always the best.
6. Favourite circuit you've raced? Oulton Park or Streets of Toronto.

7. Favourite you've NOT raced? Magny Cours or Macau Guia Circuit.
📸. Macau is a terrifying but exciting mix of the Nordschleife and Monaco.
8. Favourite F1 livery ever? Minardi PS01.

9. Favourite helmet design ever? Andre Lotterers helmet at Spa when he raced for Caterham.

10. Who is the best driver you've raced against? I’ve had the privilege of racing against tons of talented people. I really enjoyed my few battles with Jonathon Kotyk (in F1600) and Louis Foster and Reece Gold in IndyPro 2000.

Thanks to Josh for getting involved for this interview, and best of luck for the year! Hopefully we can catch up and do something else soon!
The New Yorker will race in Indy NXT this year, with the opening weekend approaching soon at St. Petersburg, Florida in the first week of March.
