Le Mans veteran Romain Dumas joins the Motor Sport podcast to discuss all things Porsche, from his early beginnings, a learned love for Porsche and his conquering of multiple disciplines.
From Pikes Peak to fighting with Audi across Europe and the US to a Dakar ambition, Dumas’ enthusiasm for racing makes for a compelling listen.
Plus, he gives his thoughts on the future of the World Endurance Championship and why Formula E might not be the way forward many make it out to be.
It’s the second Austrian Grand Prix – and the fourth in a year – and it was nowhere near as bad as last week’s, even if Max Verstappen waltzed off to victory with no challengers.
It was all action behind though; Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about harsh penalties, shouty radio messages and new contracts, among other unrelated nonsense.

An IndyCar special episode on the Infamous Dual in Detroit, with a shock winner in Race 1 as… *checks notes* Marcus Ericsson gave us IndyCar’s FOURTH new winner in 2021 after the cruelty of Will Power’s engine failing to restart on the final sprint.
We also had Pato O’Ward come from 6th to 1st with 6 laps to go in Race 2 as Josef Newgarden had to drive over the limit on his tyres in order to survive and just ran out of road in the process.
We also talk Jimmie Johnson getting criticism on Social Media, and his place in the series. Kinda hard to ignore it at this point with his constant struggles, combined with his team at Chip Ganassi Racing all winning races at points throughout the season? Is he justified to be there, or does his presence mean more than that in the series?

If anyone knows Porsche’s winning formula, it’s Jochen Mass.
For more than a decade, he raced sports cars with the factory team, competing in seven Le Mans 24 Hour races and winning multiple world championship races.
Mass joins us for the first in our new podcast series, recalling his early days with the outfit, when the Porsche Development Centre consisted mainly of wooden sheds; and the development of the 956 and 962 with the legendary engineer, Norbert Singer.
He describes the fearsome concentration needed to drive the Nürburgring in a Group C sports car; working with team-mates including Stefan Bellof and Bobby Rahal, and explains why Porsche’s IndyCar never achieved its potential.
He’s frank, funny and doesn’t pull his punches. Sit back and enjoy.
The Styrian Grand Prix promised much and delivered mostly boredom and a silly name. However, it was punctuated by Bottas spinning in the pitlane, so that was fun. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Max Verstappen’s Hamilton-like win, worry that next week will be the same again, and also reveal Terry’s new tattoo, which may or may not be Philip Morris related.
#418 Indy, Aston, Audi, W Series & F1. News from US open-wheel racing, Audi’s march towards electrification, the new Aston F1 road car, the all-female racing series and Formula 1. Plus Hulk marries and Mission Winnow vanishes.

Ladies, gentlemen, enby friends… The Baku. It happened again, a relatively tame raced turned completely chaotic with two tyre-blowouts, and a 2-lap sprint finish after Max Verstappen had a nailed on win detonate at his left rear.
It also gave us a stunning podium with Sebastian Vettel hitting the podium for the first time in Aston Martin’s history, and Pierre Gasly taking a damaged Alpha Tauri back to 3rd!
We also talk Catalunya, with Miguel Oliveira upsetting the apple cart with a brilliant win, with Fabio Quartararo stealing headlines with his leathers exploding in the middle of the race, with a chest protector thrown out. We weren’t best pleased. Enjoy the show!

Connor Jackson hosts a review of F1: French Grand Prix with Joshua Harrison alongside.
Everyone expected the French GP to be boring, and for all Terry knows, it was, because he didn’t watch it. But Cheeka and Phill did, and so they all conspire to blather on about how strategy trumps pace, how stripes give us headaches and how no one every f*cking listens to us. And perhaps justifiably so.
