It's the holiday's. It's time to count our blessings think about ways to help others. Most IndyCar drivers and teams are aligned with charities so one way to support your favorite drive and team is to support a cause that's important to them. With a little research it's easy to find out who they're working with. Andretti Global started CheckIt4Andretti after John Andretti passed away from colorectal cancer. You can see what they're doing and help support their cause here. Alex Palou drives for the American Legion's "Be The One" campaign to raise awareness of veterans mental health issues and suicide prevention. And there are so many others.At Rides & Drives, we've been heavily involved in Operation Frodo, an annual mission to rescue beagles from the Midwest where they are overbred in puppy mills, used in medical experiments, or abandoned in the field after the hunting season. We work with automakers to arrange transportation for the dogs from Omaha, Nebraska to Salt Lake City, Utah, Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, where they have homes waiting for them. This year's operation begins on Sunday, December 14th and we'll be posting from the road, sharing stories about the dogs and and the trip. We hope you will follow us along the way and if the spirit moves you, donate a little money to help us rescue more dogs next year.Happy holidays no matter which holiday you celebrate!From Caz & Harvey

We love movies and we love racing. So how do we feel about racing movies? In this episode, we review three racing movies: the 1971 classic, Le Mans; Ron Howard's F1 biopic, Rush; and probably the worst racing movie ever made, Driven.In the immortal words of Meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad.

We discuss the recent updates that were tested on the Dallara DW12 chassis as well as the pros and cons of a single chassis series. Harvey longs for the days when multiple manufacturers were involved adding another layer of interest to the competition, while Carolyn argues that the single chassis makes for more competitive and interesting races.
