How Miro Became a Hypercar Test Driver
Listen now
Description
How do you get the job of test driver? What's it like perfecting the fastest EV and ICE car? Miro knows. Miro Zrncevic is the test driver for Rimac, builder of the record-setting EV hypercar, the Nevera. Miro has been involved in Rimac since the beginning, though not in the way you might think. In this episode we find out why Miro wanted to be a test driver; his education and work background; how he got the job; his thoughts on tuning steering; why a car has to lean a little bit; the dangers of driving 120MPH backwards; why a test driver and racing driver are not often the same person; his opinion on rear steer; the Bugatti V16 project; driving the Bugatti Bolide; and so much more.
