Motor Sport broke new ground last night – for both the magazine and for British racing – when we launched our Hall of Fame event at the Roundhouse in Camden.
It was a star-studded night as some of the biggest names in motor sport joined 400 guests for a celebration… Read more
Touring cars are great to watch for a number of reasons. Mostly notably the racing is extremely close and you’ll see cars passing each other in places that you never thought possible. Another draw, for me anyway, has always been that you can clearly see that they carry some DNA… Read more
Just as we were getting prepared to have Mario Andretti as our next podcast guest a call came through saying that Brian Redman also wanted to join us.
There’s no point in going over Redman’s career here as I am sure you’re all perfectly familiar with it. However, the 12… Read more
Last year’s season-opening Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona featured a tremendous battle through the final three hours between Juan Pablo Montoya and David Donohue. Donohue scored the biggest win of his career as the 42-year-old overcame Montoya’s unrelenting efforts, using his Riley-Porsche’s superior power to take the lead from Montoya… Read more

This was my second experience of rallying with Tony, but the first for over a year. As… Read more
I’m flat out in fifth pushing 130mph approaching Hawthorns, one of the fastest and most demanding corners of any circuit in the country for the first time in my life. I’m also driving a very quick Radical SR3, on slicks and full downforce wings, for the first time in my… Read more
A couple of weekends ago I made the trip north for the Classic Sports and Saloons race at Knockhill. It’s not often that our MGB gets an outing, what with the cost of historic racing seeming to double every year. However, Scotland’s premier circuit is close to home, is cheap(er)… Read more
