In the world of motorsport, helmet art has evolved from a mere afterthought to a thriving industry over the past few decades. Initially, drivers and riders would show up with basic white helmets, but now, custom designs have become a signature element for racers, serving as a unique identifier for fans. Antman, a talented artist and designer based on the Gold Coast, stands out among the crowd as the go-to person for high-profile clients seeking custom helmet designs. His intricate and personalised artwork has graced the helmets of notable figures in Australian and global motorsport, including names like Shane van Gisbergen in NASCAR.

Antman’s journey from creating Michael Schumacher replica helmets to becoming a sought-after designer for a number of Supercars Championship frontrunners showcases the fusion of his passion for graphic design and motorsport. Growing up surrounded by cars in Victoria's Gippsland region, his early exposure to the automotive world laid the foundation for his successful career. Despite his preference to stay out of the limelight, Antman's dedication to his craft and the recognition from renowned figures in the industry speak volumes about the quality and impact of his helmet artistry.

In this episode of the Motor Dream Podcast, we delve into the fascinating journey of Brian Carlton, a renowned figure in the world of Australian talkback radio. Having made history as the youngest talk show host on a metropolitan AM station, Carlton's humble and down-to-earth approach sets him apart from his more prominent counterparts. Growing up amidst the surf culture of Sydney's Northern Beaches, Carlton's true passion lay in the realm of cars, where he carved his own path, defying the norms of car ownership prevalent at the time.

Through the years, he has remained steadfast in his modesty about being an 'accidental radio superstar', something that carries through in his current role as a presenter for 2CC in Canberra. With a refreshing perspective on car ownership, Carlton's story is not just about radio stardom but also about staying true to oneself in a world that often celebrates flash over substance.

In episode 19, we welcome Australian actress India Patten as a guest to the Motor Dream Podcast. She spent 12 years of her career abroad in Hollywood, where actors and actresses are celebrated for not only their on-screen performances, but also the subculture of car enthusiasts that exist amongst the acting fraternity. Despite the glitz and glamour, the reality for many aspiring actors is a tough and competitive landscape. Many find themselves taking on regular jobs to make ends meet while pursuing their dreams. However, Patten took a unique path to make a mark in Hollywood. While chasing her acting aspirations, she also became a brand ambassador for BMW, blending her passion for cars with her Hollywood journey.

Hailing from Leeton, NSW, Patten's background in ballet paved the way for her to step onto the Hollywood stage in 2007. Over the years, she secured notable roles in various productions, showcasing her talent in both acting and voice work. Unexpectedly, an introduction to a BMW executive through a friend led Patten to embrace her love for automobiles on a whole new level. As a brand ambassador for BMW, she not only had the freedom to continue pursuing her acting career but also enjoyed the thrill of driving a wide array of vehicles under the BMW umbrella.

Now back in Australia post the COVID-induced hiatus, Patten continues to balance her acting pursuits with a new venture in speech pathology, drawing from her diverse experiences as an actress and ambassador to forge a path forward. Despite her evolving career, her passion for cars remains unwavering, ready to represent BMW whenever the call beckons.

May 1, 1994. A day that will forever be remembered as one of the most darkest days in the history of Formula 1 and motor racing as a whole.

Ayrton Senna, a three time Formula 1 World Champion in 1988, 1990 and 1991, tragically lost his life at the San Marino Grand Prix, casting an even darker shadow on an already tragic weekend, following the death of Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger the day before.

In a special edition of The Motor Dream Podcast, we pay tribute to one of the greatest drivers in Formula 1 history. We also chat with two people who worked closely with the Brazilian - former press officer for Williams Racing, Ann Bradshaw and broadcaster Steve Rider, who hosted the live coverage for the BBC on that fateful day.
