    Allan Moffat and Jim Smith - in their own words (Indy, 1965) with Peter Windsor

    This podcast features two motor racing legends with very different talents telling their very different stories of how they came to be a part of Colin Chapman's winning team at Indianapolis in 1965.  That was the year Jim Clark stunned the motor racing world not only by becoming the first driver to win at Indy with a rear-engined car (The Lotus 38-Ford V8) - but also by clinching the F1 World Championship two months later.  Allan Moffat - at that stage a young Canadian with dreams of becoming a race driver - worked as a go-fer initially for the Ford Lotus Cortina team in North America and then for the Indy-winning team; Jim Smith, a tough Aussie marine engineer who sailed to England to seek his fortune, found himself building said Lotus Cortinas in Cheshunt, England, after replying to a newspaper ad. From there it was but a small step to the Team Lotus race shop... I spoke to Jim Smith outside my Sydney hotel; the chat with Allan is a little scratchy due to him being on an early-model cell phone in Australia while I was talking from the UK. I've re-mastered the call as best I can but apologies for any remaining imperfections.  Visit our new merchandise store to Make Corners Great Again - and for our first Jim Clark tee: https://sl1nk.com/l0uanyx With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.com To TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.

    Denny Hulme - in his own words with Peter Windsor

    A true F1 hero, Denny Hulme dug deep in 1970, when his friend and mentor, Bruce McLaren, lost his life in a Goodwood testing accident. At the time, Denny was in the very early stages of recovery from extensive burns to his hands - mainly to his left hand and forearm but also to his right hand - after surviving a spectacular methanol fire at Indianapolis. Eschewing advice from the medics, Denny then returned to F1 at the French GP, determined to lead the McLaren team forwards despite the loss of Bruce. This audio podcast begins with an ebullient Denny talking after the 1969 Dutch GP, when he fought a close battle with fellow Kiwi, Chris Amon. It then fast-forwards to the paddock of the 1970 French GP at Clermont, where a shattered Denny talks about driving the M14A-Ford into fourth place despite the excruciating pain of holding the steering wheel with his left hand while he changed gear with his right. It concludes with Denny talking a couple of weeks later, after the British GP at Brands Hatch, where he has just finished P3 after a titanic battle with Ferrari's Clay Regazzoni.

    Emerson Fittipaldi - in his own words with Peter Windsor

    I sat down with Emerson Fittipaldi in his São Paulo office in 2015 - to talk with Emerson the double World Champion (1972, 1974), double Indy 500 winner (1989, 1993) and all-round father of all that is great about Brazilian motor racing.

    Niel Allen - in his own words with Peter Windsor

    Niel Allen is without question one of the fastest racing drivers I ever saw. A quiet Australian who did things his own way - first by building a commercial property empire in Sydney, then by racing a succession of stunning race cars prepared by the unmatchable Peter Molloy - Niel by the late 1960s/early 1970s was right up there with the best of the many internationals who raced in Australia at that time. From Elans to Mustangs, to F2 and F5000 McLarens and to brutal, CanAm Elfins, Niel was always decisively fast, impeccably neat and super-competitive. He was intelligent, too - a free spirit in the truest sense of those words. I sat down with him in Manly, on Sydney's North Shore, in 2014.  He passed away in 2022.

    Niki Lauda - in his own words with Peter Windsor

    In an interview recorded with Peter in early 2014, Niki Lauda talks about his racing career, his business world and life in general. Niki was World Champion in 1975 and 1977 with Ferrari and in 1984 with McLaren-TAG Porsche; in 1976 he famously survived a fiery crash at the Nürburgring; and, away from racing, Niki founded Lauda Air in 1979; and, as non-executive Chairman of AMG-Mercedes F1, in the year of this chat, he guided the team to its first World Championships wins of the hybrid era.

    F1 Livestream 0804 (driving styles) with Peter Windsor

    In this special August Break livestream Peter takes your questions and comments around a particular theme - about how Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen take T14 in Hungary.  Delving deep into the subtleties of shorter corners and rotation zones, Peter, sketching live on camera, offers his explanation of why stars like Max, Kimi and Charles Leclerc are able to drive the way they do. Kimi recently said that he "turns in very late, very aggressively" - and that's true, of course.  Thing is, many F1 observers have mis-understood this to mean that he turns in late to the entire corner. Peter in this livestream explains why the exact opposite is true.
