Sam Smith is a writer and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine. He’s been an automotive journalist for 20 years, he has contributed to a variety of publications, including The New York Times, Esquire, and Car and Driver. As TV and video presenter Sam’s talents have been tapped by clients as diverse as NBC Sports and classic-car insurance provider Hagerty. His career highlights include track-testing Fernando Alonso’s Formula 1 McLaren, flying to Japan for a deep dive into that land’s offbeat Dodge-van “Dajiban” culture, and driving to the Arctic Circle in a Jeep with no doors because it sounded like fun. Along with his co-hosts, motorsport legends Ross Bentley and Jeff Braun, Sam has just launched a podcast called It’s Not the Car.
