These are so interesting and an important record from some of the people involved behind the scenes.  I don't think we all realise the effort that you put into making them. So a big thank you from me.

[John Ginger]

Much appreciation and thank you from me too

Thanks for all your positive comments, lads. I can now announce that over the weekend we uploaded a new 3-parter for you to watch/listen to. This new interview is with 15 year F1 veteran Robin Day who worked for McLaren, Brabham, Leyton House March and Pacific Grand Prix. One of his adventures was running Stirling Moss in the BT55 (I think) at Brands Hatch....he WASN'T the slowest if the 4 drivers that day! Part 1 of Robin can be found here: https://m.youtube.co...ndex=15&t=1212s

Loved the Robin Day interview, Gary - thank you!

[Gary C]

Apologies, Robin ran Stirling in the BT52B at Brands.

Just wanted to bump this thread for the New Year. I have 9 interviees online, with stories from the late 50s right up to the mid 1990s, from the early days of Team Lotus right through to Pacific Grand Prix. They make great New Year or even just lunchtime listening!

Hi all, just wanted to bump this thread again. The holidays are fast approaching so it's a goid excuse to sit down with a hot coffee and take a listen to my podcasts over at mechanicsgallon.blogspot.com I hope you enjoy them!

Guys, I'm trying to spread the word about the podcasts and I need your help. Do you know of any websites I can contact to see if they would either use a small piece about the podcasts or mention them and include a link? Anywhere in the world is good. I'm already all over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Thanks indeed.

[Roryswood]

I will post a link to them on the Autodiva Forum

They include people like Beaky Sims, Bob Dance, Ron Tauranac, Pete Kerr (the first ever employee of March Racing and Robin Day (ex-McLaren, Williams and Leyton House).
