September 16, 2015 Steve Soper and Andrew Jordan

Steve Soper and Andrew Jordan

On Thursday afternoon at the Goodwood Revival, as teams were unloading transporters, we grabbed Steve Soper and Andrew Jordan to sit down and record a podcast.

To help us out with the tin top racers BTCC pitlane reporter Alan Hyde joined us for the first time. Well, we say first time, but he’s always been sat recording the podcasts with us – this was just the first time we gave him a microphone…

Why do Steve and Andrew race at the Revival? And how did the latter find a Lotus Cortina when he drove it in the wet for the first time? We cover the famous Revival as well as the BTCC then and now.

Tony Southgate podcast

On Tuesday 28th the podcast team of Roebuck, Widdows, Arron and myself journeyed north to the suburbs of Northampton to call on the ex-F1, Le Mans, rally, Can-Am and Indycar designer Tony Southgate.

Greeted with fresh coffee and biscuits we tried to condense his four decades in the sport into an hour. There were one or two things we didn’t have time to discuss…

We did, however, discuss his beginnings in motor racing with Lola, his move to Brabham and then his subsequent stints at Lola (again), Shadow, Arrows, Lotus, Audi… The list is as long as it is varied.
