May is the biggest month in IndyCar, and this episode of RPM leans all the way into it, with Big Jim sitting down with two of the sport’s most talked-about drivers—David Malukas and Santino Ferrucci—as the intensity ramps up toward the Indianapolis 500 and the streets of the Detroit Grand Prix (DetroitGP.com for tickets)

From the mindset drivers carry into the month of May, to the physical and mental demands of running at Indianapolis, to the completely different challenge of racing through tight city streets in Detroit, both Malukas and Ferrucci give real insight into what separates good drivers from great ones when everything is on the line.

And in between the racing conversation, Jim also takes a look at where the SUV market is heading right now, breaking down three completely different approaches to what a modern SUV can be—from efficiency and daily usability, to luxury and presence, to lifestyle and driving feel—with the Hyundai Tucson PHEV Limited AWD, Genesis GV80 Coupe 3.5T e-SC MHEV, and Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition.

It’s a full-circle episode that connects performance on the track with performance on the road, right as IndyCar hits its most important stretch of the season.
