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.
