Customer Reviews
What a fantastic listen
My mate put me onto this as we have very similar passions. We are are both LGV drivers who love cars, and racing and all thing wheels on every level. We have no idea of the racing world and what makes it tick/work, but this podcast gives us the passion that we all have, no Matter where you are at on the motoring World….. Its great to hear the stories that give you an understanding and a feeling that we can ALL be apart of it!!!! Not sure Chris, Ed, Tiff etc could make it on our world, they might, and I’d give them a chance, but no slack given 👍😎👍 Currently on the John McGuiness episode. Not skipped 1 episode yet as they all have something to offer, but this one, and bear in mind I don’t even ride a bike, this one is for me the Stand out 1 thus far!!!!
Simply Awesome
