PRI 2021 and what it tells us about Motorsport in 2022?
December 16, 2021
For Episode 57 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast Jon and Scotty sit down with Ryan from DSX Motorsports and Jeanette from Red Queen Racing to talk all about PRI and what it tells us about Motorsport in 2022.
The Performance Racing Industry Trade Show ( PRI ) happens every December in Indiana, and it is the motorsport equivalent of SEMA. The main difference is that this show is very heavily focused on racing products where SEMA covers just about every aspect of the automotive aftermarket.
We wanted to see what stood out to Ryan and Jeanette about PRI this year, as there were definitely some surprises.
There are a lot of developments coming for race cars, engines, and electronics as you would expect. But what about driving simulators?
