Hugh Jass Paddock Pass Thomas Ellison

We're Back!


Season 2 of the Hugh Jass Paddock Pass kicks off with our Formula 1 preview. Who will win the teammate battles of the year? Will the top 3 teams find themselves under threat? Is Antonio Giovinazzi underrated? All these items discussed, and more. Please note, this episode was recorded before the cancellation of the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, so some of the predictions might be delayed.


Plus we provide updates from the world of simracing, and a report from the first ChampCar event of the year for Team Hugh Jass and their trusty Miata.

Wrapping up the previous 4 rounds of the F1 Season, which saw a "new" world champion crowned and a Ferrari team that seems to be on the brink of civil war. We discuss what we think makes Lewis Hamilton tick, what Ferrari have to do to sort out their driver management problem, and wonder if Alex Albon is really deserving of a prime Red Bull seat.

The HJPP team return from their summer break to unpack the events in the most recent rounds of the 2019 F1 championship, in which we witnessed a resurgence in performance from Ferrari, a driver swap at Red Bull, and continued shenanigans at Haas.


The interview segment sees us catch up with HJ member Ryan Verhulst, who took a trip to Monza for the 2019 Italian GP, and shares his feedback from how to enjoy a trip to an F1 race.

A catch-up of the Formula 1 action from Hockenheim, as a wet-dry race served up a treat of racing excitement before the summer break. We also look at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and all the upshot from the "surprise" mid-season announcement from Red Bull.


In action closer to home, we look back upon the Hugh Jass effort at the Lifeline ChampCar 24hr of VIR, and a weekend of trials, tribulations, and ultimate successes for our whole team of plucky amateur racers.


Thanks as ever for listening, and please contact us at hjmpodcast@gmail.com if you have any feedback or questions.

Following a team trip to the ChampCar race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we reminisce on an excellent weekend of racing and camaraderie.


We discuss the British GP and all the excitement and drama that caused, including what the future may hold for Sebastian Vettel.


The interviewee for this episode is Tom Ellison, one of the hosts, as his co-presenters turn their questions towards one of their own.

All the fallout from the contentious Austrian GP, as we discuss whether the FIA finally got a decision correct. There is an update to the ChampCar entry for the race at the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Our guest for this week is the HJ tame racing driver Jeff Tyler, who gives his views on how to approach amateur motorsport.


Please note - due to a couple of quality control issues, the interview portion of the episode does feature some brief skips in audio transmission. Due to this, and other production delays, this episode has been published a bit later than planned, and after the Indianapolis ChampCar round. We will bring you an update in Episode 8.
