The penultimate podcast of 2016 and the team head to Goodwood to talk to Lord March about his grandfather, the Festival of Speed, the Revival and what it takes to run these events every year.

Mike Costin, co-founder of Cosworth and one of the key men behind the DFV, joined the Motor Sport team for an hour-long chat.

Ahead of the Dewar Trophy and Simms Medal presentations the podcast team sat down with Williams’ chief technical officer Pat Symonds to discuss the winners of the two awards as well as Formula 1’s 2017 regulations. 

We also cover the greatest racing driver excuse of all time, courtesy of Ayrton Senna, and Pat’s time at Benetton. It’s the eighth time Pat has graced the microphone on this site and his ability to distill technical discussions into something even I can understand remains undimmed. Enjoy.

Dick Bennetts, the founder and boss of West Surrey Racing, first came to the UK from New Zealand in 1972 and has worked with Ron Dennis, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Mauricio Gugelmin, Mika Häkkinen and Rubens Barrichello.

In 1996 WSR moved from the world of Formula 3 and entered the British Touring Car Championship where it has won 69 races and finished on the podium 231 times. 

We hope you enjoy the hour-long recording. As always, huge thanks to Alan Hyde for the audio and video.

Five-time Le Mans winner and 2016 Hall of Fame inductee Derek Bell joined Ed Foster and Gary Watkins to decide which 12 names from the world of sports cars should be on the Hall of Fame shortlist in 2017.

Before whittling down the names for consideration, Bell talks about his time sharing with Jacky Ickx, his time at Ferrari and answers your questions.

Jochen Mass joined Ed Foster and the returning Rob Widdows to talk about his career and to answer reader questions in the latest Motor Sport podcast in association with Mercedes-Benz.

Karun Chandhok joined Mark Hughes and presenter Ed Foster to talk about his career, modern Formula 1, both on track and behind the scenes. He also had the all-important task helping to decide which 12 greats from F1 should be on the Hall of Fame shortlist for 2017.

The man who took Mini to Monte glory, Stuart Turner, talks about his vast and varied career, from rallying and racing to Steve McQueen.

Most of you will know Simon Taylor as the man behind Motor Sport’s ‘Lunch With’ series – one that has included 125 lunch-based interviews with the sport’s biggest names. He first sat down for ‘Lunch With’ in June 2006. The subject was Max Mosley and the pair ate at the Café de Paris where the then-president of the FIA ate “a tiny lobster mousse, green salad, still water and an espresso”.

As the issues rolled on Simon had lunch with a huge array of names from Tyler Alexander to Alex Wurz via Ross Brawn, Richard Petty, Ron Dennis and the late Chris Amon. 

After 10 years of lunches Simon has decided to call it a day (he’ll still write for Motor Sport, but he’s stepping down from Lunch With) and to honour what Damien Smith describes as “the greatest series of interviews in motor sport publishing” we decided to sit the man himself down for a bite to eat. Want to know what all these big names were like to interview? Enjoy.  

Damon Hill discusses his Formula 1 World Championship win, 20 years on, plus modern F1 and much more.
