Motor Sport Magazine Podcast

On Saturday October 8, Motor Sport hosted a readers’ evening in association with Audi UK at the Audi quattro rooms in West London. Star guests included Le Mans winners Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen and Audi factory team engineers Howden ‘H’ Haynes and Leena Gade. The documentary Truth in 24 – that everyone watched at the start of the evening – follows the factory Audi team as they fight through the gruelling race in the knowledge that their car is technically slower that its rival from Peugeot. In one of the most nail-biting Le Mans in recent history, the Audi team works together to overcome its rivals, and it is engineer Howden’s inspired tyre-change decision 23 and half hours into the race that helps the number two car to victory. After watching the film editor Damien Smith sat down with all four as well as editor-in-chief Nigel Roebuck. Here is the recording of the discussion...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ahead of our December issue – that will be in UK shops on October 28 – we sat down with Sir Jackie Stewart to record a podcast. Why ahead of our December issue? Well, Sir JYS will be the guest editor of the magazine. We won't tell you too much about the upcoming content – that will have to wait for a few weeks. However, suffice to say that it should be a cracker. The podcast went as well as we expected and Sir Jackie's opinions on modern Formula 1 remain as relevant as ever. We hope you enjoy it and as always, let us know what you think. Don't forget to watch out for the December issue at the end of October, it's not to be missed.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This podcast is a little bit special. On September 16 we took over a small corner of the Drivers' Mess at the Goodwood Revival and interviewed anyone who was passing. It just so happened that Eddie Cheever, Arturo Merzario, Martin Brundle, Sir Stirling Moss, Nick Mason, Rauno Aaltonen, Gerhard Berger, Sir Jackie Stewart, Tom Kristensen, Andy Priaulx and Emanuele Pirro passed by when we were there. As you can imagine, it was an action-packed hour and 20 minutes spent discussing everything from the new BMW DTM machine to why Sir JYS rolled a car, via what Sir Stirling thinks of some of the 'newer' cars at the Revival and why Pirro ended up sending a £5000 cheque to Goodwood. We hope you enjoy it and, as always, let us know what you think about any of the subjects we discuss.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When we finished our podcast yesterday every member of the team agreed that it was the best yet. We weren't surprised though because chatting to Murray Walker for an hour was never going to be dull. We hope you enjoy it and – as always – let us know your thoughts.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here we are, another month, another audio podcast! Nigel Roebuck, Damien Smith, Rob Widdows and myself sat down on Tuesday July 26 to talk about the German Grand Prix, the Formula 1 form book and the future of sportscar racing. Have a listen and do let us know your thoughts on everything we discuss. Something you may want to put in your diaries is that on August 24 we will be doing an audio podcast with the great Murray Walker. It'll be online the next day and should be a cracker. If you want to ask him a question just click here.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Team Lotus reserve driver Karun Chandhok is our latest podcast guest. He talks to Nigel Roebuck, Rob Widdows and Damien Smith about the role of the reserve driver, his contribution to Team Lotus’s ongoing development, the upcoming Indian Grand Prix and meeting his great hero, Alain Prost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Motor Sport hosted a special evening in London on June 6 as a group of our enthusiastic readers joined us for a private viewing of the stunning new Ayrton Senna film. We were honoured to be joined by the movie’s producer Manish Pandey and former McLaren team coordinator Jo Ramirez, the man who somehow managed to remain friends with both Senna and Alain Prost during their incendiary two years as team-mates in 1988-89. This is the full, unedited, recording of the open discussion after the film which included Jo, Manish, our editor-in-chief Nigel Roebuck and features editor Rob Widdows. We apologise for the sound – it was recorded live! Do let us know your thoughts and keep checking the website for upcoming readers' evenings. We'll be doing plenty more.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nigel Roebuck, Damien Smith, Rob Widdows and Ed Foster discuss the Formula 1 season so far – the DRS, the KERS, the Pirelli tyres and whether or not it's proper Grand Prix racing. We hope you enjoy it and of course, if you don't agree with what we're saying... let us know!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

These podcasts are coming pretty thick and fast at the moment, but we didn't want to hang on to this one for too long, especially since Allan was on such good form. Allan McNish Motor Sport audio podcast Damien Smith, Rob Widdows, Nigel Roebuck, Ed Foster 2 On Tuesday March 29 when we recorded it he had spent the past nine hours in a film studio recording a three-minute clip for an Audi advert. When he made it to the Motor Sport offices we couldn't believe he even wanted to do the podcast and we definitely didn't think he would be as lively as he was. So thank you Allan! Allan McNish Motor Sport audio podcast Damien Smith, Rob Widdows, Nigel Roebuck, Ed Foster 1 As always, we hope you enjoy it – we certainly did – and do let us know what you think.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well here we are, the March podcast! Dario Franchitti has not only won the IndyCar series three times and the Indianapolis 500 twice, but he is also a great podcast guest as we're sure you'll agree. Many thanks to the Royal Automobile Club this month, who very kindly let us record the podcast in its Pall Mall HQ. We hope you enjoy it and – as always – do let us know what you think.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here we are... the first of our 2011 podcasts. We made the journey to the McLaren Technology Centre yesterday and managed to distract Martin for well over an hour. We hope you enjoy it! As always, let us know what you think.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Over the Christmas period we thought you may want a break from it all, so we recorded our season review that Nigel Roebuck, Damien Smith, Rob Widdows and Ed Foster recorded in the local pub, the Chealsea Ram.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here's the second part of our season review podcast... We hope you enjoy it and please do let us know what you think.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Despite freezing cold weather and a tube strike, Pat Symonds made it to our Chelsea offices and spent a very interesting hour with us. Thankfully Pat is one of the few engineers in Formula 1 that can explain the staggering amount of technology in Formula 1 in layman's terms and what he has to say about KERS, the new rules and Red Bull this year was fascinating. Not to mention what he had to say about Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Jean Alesi.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here we are, the latest Motor Sport audio podcast. Considering we are doing a proper Formula 1 season review (to be recorded in the local...) in a few weeks, we thought it would be a good time to have a look at the WRC. Malcolm and Matt were great guests and had some very interesting things to say about the state of the WRC, the dominance of Loeb, Räikkönen's performance this year and why rally fans should be quietly hopeful about the future of the sport.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We know you've been waiting longer than usual for the next audio podcast, but I think you'll agree this one's worth waiting for. We gathered in the Drivers Mess at the Goodwood Revival and chatted to Stirling Moss, Bobby Rahal, Martin Brundle, Tom Kristensen, Richard Attwood, Jochen Mass, Emanuele Pirro, Christian Horner and Adrian Newey. Quite a line up...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to another Motor Sport audio podcast. There was no avoiding the team orders scandal from Hockenheim, but we also have a look at the Formula 1 driving standards, the relationship between Vettel and Webber and whether it's too late for Schumacher to start producing the results.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to another Motor Sport audio podcast. This month Christian Horner very kindly gave us an hour of his time (something that's almost unheard of for a team principal in the middle of the Formula 1 season!) and we made the trip up to Red Bull Racing in Milton Keynes. The journey wasn't without dramas... Myself, the editor Damien Smith and all the recording equipment set off from head office in Chelsea in plenty of time in his trusty BMW. However, within a mile of traffic the car was hot, very, very hot in fact and it soon came to a grinding halt. After a brief panicked phone call to my brother Will, I deserted the editor at Shepherd's Bush and ran to my brother's car (a surprisingly brilliant Ford Mondeo ST220) that he very kindly lent me. So, if you're wondering why Damien doesn't say too much in the podcast, it's because he was on a tow truck – with his car. The recording thankfully went according to plan and I hope you enjoy what Christian has to say. Thank you for the car Will, and thank you...

Ladies and gentlemen, the Patrick Head podcast is here! It's taken a while and a couple of date reshuffles, but it was well worth the wait. Thank you all very much for sending in your questions – we managed to cover quite a few. However, we didn't manage to ask as many as we would have liked as some of Patrick's stories were too good to interupt. Have a listen and I think you'll agree...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
