The GRM family goes way, way back with Randy Pobst, with his Volkswagen Golf appearing on one of our first covers–the July 1985 issue. We’ve collaborated on much editorial in the decades since, from tire tests to driving tips.
Look for more from Randy Pobst on the pages of GRM this year.
Randy knows our world inside and out.
He …
Yay! Welcome to the asylum, Randy! His enthusiasm for everything motorsport is unmatched!

For real. I don't think there's anything Randy can't drive well.
I'm looking forward to seeing more rad stuff from him.
I know I'm one of the few people that actually read it, but I just read his farewell column in the last (I guess it's going to be LAST last) issue of Sports Car.
I guess this answers the question of "what he was going to do next".
I'm also one of the few that read his last column in Sports Car. Looking forward to his future contributions. Glad my last post about Randy didn't do him any harm!
Everybody loves Randy!
Great news! Love Randy's content!!!
Maybe he could do some videos for GRM too?
YISS! It was inevitable.
And a little something from the archives, and very much looking to do more with Randy. I want to say that we met at an autocross–either a Divisional or National Tour–in 1992.
Oh, and why no GRM stickers on the above photo? Because back then we were still called Auto-X magazine.
Who can name all the people in that shot?
Randy's column in Sports Car from a coupla years back decrying the "Rubbin' is Racin'" attitude when Logano essentially crashed someone, I don't remember who, out to win the Nascar Champeenship. It should be required reading for anybody taking part in wheel to wheel motorsports.

Did I get it right? What did I win?
This is great news!
Wow. This is terrific news. Randy Pobst is one of my favorite race drivers and absolutely one of my favorite motorsport's writers. Cool.
Randy is a national treasure, I'm glad to hear he'll be writing here. Good stuff.

Yes, and, uh, bragging rights?
I'll take it. Thanks.
heck yeah! I love his content and the breath of racing he has under his belt is prime for great examples and interesting stories. Seems to be a very approachable genuine dude - always appreciate that.
I love Randy as much as the next racer, but man his writing style gives me headaches. Stream of conciousness...
To be fair he does warn the reader though.
Whats his forum handle going to be? Do we all get a vote?
Good news on working with one of the best guys in the sport. Such a humble dude and easy to talk to!
In reply to Olemiss540 :
He’s already here on the forum. :)
This is awesome! If I'm honest, Pobst Position was about the only part of Sports Car I actually read...
EDIT: and I swear I wrote that before seeing David's post immediately above...
