Based on archival and biographical research and interviews with British journalists, broadcasters and communications managers, this presentation provides an analysis of the transformations in media relations in Formula One from 1960s onward. The paper explores the professional careers of leading British journalists and broadcasters of F1 to explore how media relations have changed over time. We conclude with some thoughts on how F1 in the era of Liberty Media, is bringing new opportunities for F1 across different platforms, transforming again the media relations of the sport.

    Formula 1 at Watkins Glen during "The Circus Era" (James Miller)

    Dr. James Miller has a longtime interest in media technology, and this led him to the historical study of the automobile as an under-appreciated site of media consumption. From there, the highly digitalized modern race car presented itself as a possible precursor of future mobility. This was also an excuse to intellectualize the pleasure of motorsports, which has resulted in a connection with the IMRRC and membership in the International Motor Press Association. Miller is professor emeritus of communications at Hampshire College, a former member of the graduate faculty at UMass Amherst and a member of the Porsche Club of America. Formula One raced at Watkins Glen for 20 years, 1961-1980. This was a still early time in post-war F1, when nearly everything was smaller scale, sponsorship was just beginning, a DIY ethos ruled the paddock and US media attention was limited. Yet these 20 years mark a crucial midway point between the Glen’s original road racing and the modern, corporatized F1 that has now developed into a global media spectacle. To mark 75 years of Watkins Glen motorsports, this presentation offers a sketch of this distinctive time and place, with emphasis on the local community engagement that made those glorious 20 years of F1 possible.

    A journey into The Autoverse (Paul Ragsdale)

    There comes a point in every enthusiast’s life, where they ask themselves, Am I alone in this? Does anyone even care about all these cars? Why do I care so much about cars? I really wish there was someone I could share all this with…  It’s a dilemma that so many of us face. And our guest is no exception, he’s been a lifelong petrol-head, and always felt like he was the only person in his circles that took an interest in motorsports or cars.  Determined to make a difference, Paul Ragsdale decided to found The Autoverse, an organization devoted to spreading vehicle and motorsports enthusiasm … a haven for his fellow lost tribe members. And he’s here to tell us all about its creation, evolution, and why you might consider it your new home away from home.

    Evening With A Legend: Lyn St. James

    Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing. And as your host, I’m delighted to introduce  Lyn St. James’ illustrious career has distinguished her as one of the most successful female racecar drivers in history. She would take home titles in races like the 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Rolex and 24 hours of the Nurburgring. And during that time she would attempt the 24H of LeMans twice and a pivotal time in its history. Later, in 1992, the mold wasn’t just broken… It was shattered, and at the age of 45, proving that neither gender nor age matter in Motorsports - she entered the Indianapolis 500, earning the title rookie of the year. And she’s here with us tonight, to share her Le Mans journey with you!

    Pit Stop: Big Cars & Highway Bullies!

    We always have a blast chatting with our guests about all sorts of different topics, but sometimes we go off the rails and dig deeper into their automotive and motorsports pasts. As a bonus, let’s go behind the scenes with this pit stop mini sode for some extra content that didn’t quite fit in the main episode. On this What Should I Buy? B-side from our Teens & First Time Drivers episode, Don and the team unpack and explore more about driving Big Cars and handling Highway Bullies.

    What Should I Buy? - For Teens & First Time Drivers!

    Dear Abby: “my daughter Stacy is looking for her first car and has her heart set on a VW bug. Any suggestions?” It’s not uncommon for us to receive an email or text like this one from friends or co-workers. As fathers of future petrol-heads, we couldn’t resist getting the band back together for yet another What Should I Buy debate.  Mind you, these messages are sometimes never more detailed than what you heard, but it’s enough to start the conversation. - And like all What Should I Buy (WSIB) episodes… we have some shopping criteria, so the next logical questions are obviously: how old?, how many miles? and what’s your budget? Tonight we’re bringing together some of the “OG” What Should I Buy crew: Mountain Man Dan, (and) Rob Luhrs, and Mike “Story Time” Crutchfield for this episode, but it wouldn’t be a What Should I Buy? without our panelists William “Big Money” Ross, Mark “The Data Cruncher” Shank, and Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine.  And in this episode our panel of extraordinary petrol-heads are challenged to find our “first time driver” something that will make their friends go “YOU DROVE THAT AT 16?”
