Front End Chatter #40

Episode 40 of Front End Chatter, the Finger On The Pulse episode, comes not so much hot as slightly tepid with gossip from MotoGP testing (at Sepang, Malaysia, not Phillip Island). Fortunately, the big issues are still the same: will Casey race in 2016? Will the new Michelin tyres and retro-spec ECU mix results up this season? Will Lorenzo win the title by mid-season? When will someone first say ‘silly season’? 

There’s also plenty of FEC-ing tittle-tattle about:

  • Guy Martin’s no-show at the TT this year
  • Triumph’s new Tiger 1050 Sport
  • 6000 houses created at the Circuit Of Wales site. Sorry, we meant ‘6000 jobs’
  • why splitting WSB races over two days might be a good idea
  • why manufacturers don’t make more of their Dakar race success
  • reviving the Transatlantic race series – good idea or not? And are any American racers good enough? Or Brits, come to that
  • are anti-theft bike tracking systems a good idea or a bit ‘after the fact’?
  • does a near-miss take the shine off biking?
  • is it okay to still like being a biker, but go off actually riding bikes?
  • choosing between a Suzuki Bandit 1250 (too old school?), Kawasaki Versys 650 (too tame?) or a Yamaha Tracer (too expensive) for hustling mountain roads, touring and commuting. Or just pick a Yamaha FZ1 Fazer. • what are the best tyres for a Yamaha XJ6?
  • choosing the fabulous FEC theme tune.

Preseason 02: For Everything Else’s Sake

While the Formula 1 teams faff about trying to get their cars ready for 2016, here’s a chat we had with someone who actually knows about motorsport. Like, properly. Jake Yorath has worked across a whole bunch of disciplines – from sports cars to Formula E – so we plied him with drink and asked him about the the world outside F1, to see if we were missing anything worthwhile.

Alastair Caldwell podcast

Ex-McLaren team manager Alastair Caldwell joins us for our second podcast of 2016. We look back at how he got his foot in the door at the now-Woking-based outfit, his memories of Bruce McLaren, the 1976 World Championship with James Hunt and which driver impressed him the most.

You will also hear about our request for stories from anyone who was at Brands Hatch in 1976 for the British Grand Prix. In the July issue of the magazine we’re looking back at that day and, instead of giving you the (well-told) story from the paddock, we want to hear from you. Were you there? Did you throw cans on the track? What are your memories? Do please use #Brands76 on social media to share your stories. Alternatively, you can leave a comment below or email editorial@motorsportmagazine.com.
