Alastair Caldwell tells good stories. A lot of good stories. Whether it’s about how he got into the sport or what it was like looking after James Hunt the night before the Canadian Grand Prix they are always entertaining and they usually end with a michevous cackle.
For this Royal Automobile Club Talk Show we focused solely on 1976 – the year that James Hunt won the title. It was an incredible year in Formula 1 with everything from terrible accidents to race disqualifications. “I remember when we were on our way back from Japan,” Alastair told me after we stopped recording, “and we all said to each other: There’s no point in taking this to Hollywood, no one would believe what happened.” Over 30 years later Rush, the Hollywood film centered around 1976, was made.
The Club is celebrating that world championship year all through 2016 and only two weeks ago hosted a dinner with John Hogan, Freddie and Tom Hunt and James’ two sisters and brother.
We hope you enjoy Alastair’s view on the season which put Formula 1 on the global TV map.
Jack, Ryan and Tony talk all the news headlines from this weeks Motorsport News. Plus other rumors and gossip from the world of rallying.
Friend of the show and Hyundai WRC codriver Seb Marshall joins the boys to talk about the ‘non’ competitive debut of the Hyundai I20 R5 car and the his thoughts on the Ypres event this year and how it could be a round of the British Rally Championship next year.
Former British Rally Champion, stunt driver, driver coach and all round good guy Mark Higgins joins Tony to talk all about the Prodrive Subaru that he broke the 4 wheeled record in around the famous Isle of Man TT course.

If he has any hopes of winning his third championship on the trot, the real Lewis Hamilton needs to stand up – show us the quick racer he is, minus the distractions (music, movies and Penelope Cruz). Meanwhile Niki Lauda was spotted sharing ice cream with Nico Rosberg, where was Lewis in all of this? Maybe they made Lewis wait in the car!
Hamilton is smartly planning his retirement with Mercedes – he will be building supercars and doing demos, basically becoming the next David Coulthard? With autonomous cars likely to be the biggest threat to Formula 1, guess all drivers need retirement plans (not just Fernando Alonso!).
Apart from hanging out with Lauda, Rosberg has been doing various other things we thought are Hamilton’s specialty. This includes hanging out at exotic destinations (Ibiza), posing with private jets for no apparent reason, fanboy moments with Hollywood stars and pissing off Formula 1’s sponsors. Hopefully, the next Lewis-inspired move he pulls off is winning a World Championship.
Strange things are happening in Formula One. Hamilton and Rosberg’s relationship has never been better, thanks to some dubious bonding in a Monaco swimming pool. The poster boy of capitalism, Bernie Ecclestone, is planning to do away with bonus payments for the big teams. The silly season rumours continue to fly, will Kimi stay or go?
More speed but less races, should we be excited about the 2017 season? Or is it all a marketing hoax? Britain may have voted to Brexit, but when will Formula One get the big Ecc-xit? Mclaren-Honda and Fernando Alonso continue to make a joke of themselves on and off track and we are happy to laugh along. With the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix coming up, we predict that the Red Bull Ring might need to be renamed as Mercedes Ring.
Tune in!

First up, VERY sorry this was delayed, had technical issues putting this episode together, but hopefully, it won’t happen again!
In this episode, we discuss everything from Le Mans, from Toyota’s heartbreaking penultimate lap breakdown, to the Ford GT being broken, to the fall of Manor, and much, much more!
We also talk the European GP in Baku, as Nico Rosberg took a dominant win, as Lewis Hamilton struggled with a Quali crash, and him being unable to workout his steering wheel settings. Whoops. We also talk the nature of Baku itself, and whether it should remain on the calendar, as well as the curious case of Sergio Perez’s 2nd podium in three rounds!
And we talk some gaming as I talk about Valentino Rossi: The Game, and F1 2016 news post-E3. Thanks for listening, and don’t worry, Adam Johnson will be back REAL soon!
