May 20, 2015 Front End Chatter #29

Front End Chatter #29

After six weeks of sponsored silence, Britain’s least-consistent motorcycle podcast is back. In episode 29, Simon and Martin discuss:

– Why watching MotoGP racing is a bit like watching two walruses fighting, or a Shakepearean play, or something.

– Will Valentino win the title, will Ducati win a race, and will Melandri win a point?

– The North West 200 race that was won by a movie star.

– The new Honda Africa Twin, and whether it would have been much, much better or much, much worse if it was more like a Varadero.

– Why Royal Enfield have bought Harris (not Rolf), and whether there are any warnings to be learned from Hero investing in EBR

– The passing of Geoff Dukeobe (sorry, Duke OBE) and whether TT spectators in the 1950s got better value from slower racing.

May 15, 2015 F1 Debrief – There’s a definite change in policy here

F1 Debrief – There’s a definite change in policy here

Sidepodcast’s 2015 break takes a break of its own as we hustle a quick podcast out the door regarding the FIA’s recent statement of a potential refuelling return.

As big fans of refuelling before it departed, we now discuss our mixed reactions to the possibility of a return and ponder just what the governing body are thinking with their latest batch of changes to the sport.

From comparisons to their eco-friendly motorsport rivals, to outsourcing the difficult decisions to someone who can actually come to an agreement, we chat about what the future holds for Formula One as it continues to evolve and, well, rewind.

Get in touch!

Inside Line F1 Podcast – Jumping Jack(man)

After a forced two week break, the Inside Line F1 Podcast returns to talk about the jumping jack-men, Hamilton vs. Vettel and Mclaren’s absence from the 2015 Spanish Grand Prix. We wonder if a two engine formula should be explored by Formula1 and if free tyre choices is a good idea after all. Lastly, we tell you why Ferrari (for Vettel) should’ve mirrored Hamilton’s tyre strategy. Tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 16)
