Ep.1 The Green Flag for Mental Health

Jun 3, 2025 · 3 min

In this debut episode of BrakeCheck, host Devin Giles introduces the mission behind the show — opening up honest conversations about mental health in grassroots motorsports. Devin shares his personal story of living with Bipolar 2, the emotional pressures that come with racing, and why the paddock needs more than just speed and setups — it needs space for real talk.

Also featured is Devin’s article “A Minority Within a Minority”, a raw reflection on identity, mental illness, and finding belonging behind the wheel.
