“Born in a gas station,” Tom Kristensen had petrol in his veins from an early age. Despite a flirtation with banking, he went on to win the Le Mans 24 Hours nine times. A record, surely, that won’t be matched for quite some time…
Rob, Alan Hyde and I talk through his career from his first ‘steps’ in a go kart to his World Endurance Championship crown via the Goodwood Revival and his new book.
As always, let us know what you think and enjoy. Oct 13, 2015

After flying down specially from Edinburgh and a quick lunch at our new local Italian restaurant Robert Reid sat down to talk through his career and that of his long-time driver Richard Burns.
We cover everything from wallpaper with Mk 2 Escorts on it (yes, really) to the 2001 World Rally Championship via Colin McRae and what made Richard so special.
In the second half we launch the rally category for the Hall of Fame and you can now vote on any one of the 12 names we decided on with Robert.
Congrats Mercedes for dominating and winning the 2015 Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship. Congrats to Sergio Perez and Force India for a well earned podium finish in Russia. But this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast has much much more.
Mithila and Kunal wonder if Vladmir Putin’s interest in F1 in Russia puts Barack Obama under any pressure to match up at the upcoming GP in America. Is there a Russia vs. USA cold war developing in F1?
They also talk of Raikkonen’s Maldonado styled move on Bottas, Alonso’s possible retirement in 2018, Sainz’s luck at turn 13 in Sochi, Pirelli’s disastrous PR skills and if making team radio private makes any sense. Tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 35)
