  • Episode 63 - Hugo Goncalves

    We all have our own path to tread on this world, some frought with more difficulties than others. This is very true of a good friend and supporter of the podcast - Hugo Goncalves from SimRacingHQ, who hosts the GearHeads Podcast.


    Originally from Portugal, he now lives just outside Silverstone, and is a very happy character. But it hasn't been easier for Hugo, especially with significant life-changing health problems, which include battling cancer.


    But he has battled his way through it and has kept so incredibly positive with the welcome assistance of his wife Kristina, who has been his rock.

    It's strange to see one podcast host interview another, but it is one of the very best episodes I've recorded so far.
    Muito obrigado, Hugo!

  • Episode 62 - Ragnar Veerus

    I've made good friends in the karting paddocks over the years, and Ragnar Veerus is one of them. He's the man that took the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals title in the MAX DD2 class last year in Bahrain.

    He also now has his own business as a driver coach and giving relevant advice about how to improve as a racing driver within the world of karting, no matter your age or skill set.

    Hope you enjoy this one.

  • Episode 61 - John Munro (Traxion special)

    With the return of Traxion just the other week, it was a welcome bit of news for us all to hear, after their unfortunate demise last November. But thanks to the efforts of GridFinder and Rafa Racing Club, it's back!

    It is a go-to source for anything regarding anything sim racing and community-related, including myself being an avid fan of their work. So it felt right to have a special episode regarding this news, as John Munro joins me for Episode 61. Hope you enjoy this one, folks.

  • Episode 58 - Tom Cairns

    There are some of us that love historic facts and figures within motor racing, and my next guest is one of those individuals.


    I'm joined by good friend Tom Cairns, who first got his start with radio, and now works at F1 HQ in Biggin Hill as a Logger/Researcher. It is a job that doesn't have the traditional 9-5 working hours, but it is something Tom really enjoys.


    Along with that, he is also commentating on the Downforce Radio Grand Prix World Series, amongst other virtual racing.


    It's another wonderful chat for you all to enjoy.

  • Episode 57 - DJ Clark

    A return trip stateside for this one, as DJ Clark, one of the many well-known announcers in the USA from sim racing to real-life racing, DJ Clark, tells his story.


    He's working in a variety of paddocks including SRO Americas and now Indy NXT along with plenty of time in the virtual commentary box when it comes to Global Sim Racing Channel, Racespot TV and SRO Esports.


    A proud Hoosier and so many stories to tell, including when he got the call to join not only the Indy NXT paddock alongside the legend that is Rob Howden, but also found out he will be a part of the Indy 500 this year.

  • Episode 56 - Lukas Wunderlich

    Another expert in motorsport social media joins me for this next episode, as Lukas Wunderlich, a lover of all things aviation, talks about what drivers need to focus on when it comes to building a following.

    This is also a well-rounded discussion for drivers who want to interact with their fanbase, along with giving sponsors a good return on investment via social media. This is also very important to how a driver is perceived by what content is provided.


    He not only runs Wunderlich Media but also On Wheels Media, with the latter concentrating on some great female racing talent including Chloe Chong, Maya Weug and Tina Hausmann, which means he's pretty busy.


    Enjoy this one and see you next time!

  • Episode 55 - Adam Weller

    Every commentator is different, including my next guest, who has made this the longest episode of Commentator's Corner so far!


    For Episode 55, my good friend and propoer sports car nerd Adam Weller joins me this time, as we talk about so many different topics when it comes to motorsport, and yes tangents of varying degrees are reached.


    Sometimes, it's not only about the topics that make these episodes, but the personalities definitely do help on that front.
