published: 27 February 2017

duration: 40′ 50″

Presented by: Gareth Jones, Richard Porter & Zog

#302 The 2017 F1 cars built to the new rules. We analyse the engineering, aerodynamics, livery and sponsorship of every car. Sniff Petrol on Jensen Button and Ross Brawn. Plus we mark the 40th anniversary of the tragic death of Welsh F1 driver Tom Pryce.

 

Tom Pryce

Gareth Jones On Speed – Tom Pryce (English Version)

V1
John Watson told me “Tom was just a lad,
Not fierce, no trouble, not the slightest bit bad”.
Speed I’m sure was all that he knew
From Clwyd (or Denbighshire)
Where I come from too.

Chorus1
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.

V2
We first saw his speed
One day at Silverstone
When he put his car
On pole position.
And then with effort
He emerged from the shadows
At Brands Hatch he won
In the Race Of Champions.

Chorus2
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.

V3
In Kyalami
In Seventy-seven
Renzo Zorzi caught fire
A boy went to help him.
Jansen Van Vuuren
Ran over the track
The Clwyd boy hit him
And that was that.

Chorus3
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.

Mid 8
In one awful moment
Both lives were relinquished
A flame of Welsh hope
Quashed, extinguished.

Chorus4
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.
Tom Pryce, Tom Pryce,
We Welsh called him “Maldwyn”
He beat the best
Didn’t forget where he came from.

Coda
Not only Wales remembers “Maldwyn”
The world of racing
Knows also about him.
Writ large on a wall
Back home in Ruthin
“He beat the best,
Didn’t forget where he came from”.
Fe gurodd y goreuon, heb gefnu ar ei gynefin”.
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Episode #75: Mount Nyevelt (#ShootYourShot)

Welcome to the Diamond, the 75th episode of #Motorsport101. Pretty crazy that a 10 episode University project run would end up being this. Thanks to everyone for your continued support!

In this edition, we also have a 4th man in the booth, and that’s Matheus Carniero, Superdraft Champion and host of Mystery Science Theatre F1 on YouTube! Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOFHUnfBG7hPdlXyYGw8Hrw

In this massive 165 minute edition of the show, we have an extended Keepin’ It 101 segment regarding the serious implications of Danny Watts announcement, telling the world he was gay, and probably the highest profile announcement of its kind. I also address the “Stick To Sports” mantra and ask Aly Raisman out on a date. Seriously.

We also tackle the #BAePrix (Ha), and the series seeming fall from grace as Buemi dominated his third race in a row and seemingly puncture the balloon of hype surrounding the series.

And finally, we take on a big challenge as we form the first wing of our Hall of Fame, named “Mount Nyevelt”, after the first President of the FIA, and as it turns out, we had a really hard time bringing the field down to 6 people from our shortlist of 20. And your questions get answered in the mailbag too!

Enjoy this special edition of the podcast!
