This week on the Podcast, Amy, Miles, and John assemble in the podcast studio for the first time as a trio since 2021 - yes, really.

It's been a busy month for the Driven team with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the delivery of a Honda Civic Type R, a week with BMW driving the new range of M cars, and so much more.

Amy, Miles and John catch up to share their stories and adventures with plenty of unexpected anecdotes, tangents and general confusion.

This week on the Driven Chat Podcast, John Marcar and Amy Heynes are joined by motorcycle athlete Ivan Cervantes, who has a substantial list of accolades.

• 5x Motorcycle Enduro World Champion
• 5x National Motorcross Champion
• 21x National Enduro Champion

Ivan joins us this week to share the story of his most recent achievement on two wheels, breaking the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for 'The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual)'.

Ivan's record involved riding a Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer on the High-Speed Ring at the Nardò Technical Center in Italy. Ivan travelled more than 4,012km in 24 hours, beating the previous record of 3406km by a massive margin of more than 600km. The record attempt was witnessed and validated by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator on 30th April 2023, with a final confirmed distance of 4012.53km – a distance equivalent to travelling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza in 24 hours!

In this week's podcast, Ivan shares his journey to the record and details the mental and physical challenges around the attempt.

The E30 M3 road car set the benchmark for performance saloon cars since its release in 1986. It is a car that exists primarily thanks to motorsport homologation rules for the DTM series in the 1980s. But thanks to its unique styling, sensational power-to-weight ratio and practicalities of being an everyday car, the E30 M3 set the trend for BMW and other marques and still does to this day as the ultimate performance saloon.

Fast forward 30 years, and Army Officer Simon Lord decided the Humble E30 M3 could be far better than BMW created, so Redux was born.

In this week's Podcast, Simon Lord joins John Marcar to talk about his transition from Army Officer to a civilian creator, engineer and perfectionist-developer of the £330,000 Redux M3.

From its beginning, the conversation turns unexpectedly, focusing on Simon's mindset in starting his business following a long stint in the armed forces. Part 2/2 of the conversation will come next week, where we will learn about the final product's creation and the price justification.

For the first time ever, The Driven Chat Podcast has recorded a crossover with another pod, and who better to do it with than our friends at The Nod? Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a motorcycle focus to this week's episode; however, fear not - non-bikers, we're pretty sure you'll enjoy it regardless of how many wheels you like on your vehicles.

John Marcar and Amy Shore sit down with Charley, Ben and Ant for a good old chat, and that very conversation results in this week's podcast.

This week on The Driven Chat Podcast, Miles Lacey and John Marcar catch up on some recent activities and debate which is best: motor racing in Australia or road-tripping in the Alps?

Shortly after a recent podcast recording, Miles had to hop on a 24-hour flight to Australia whilst John had to go to the Alps for some wheeler-dealing. Miles' Australian adventure resulted from an invite to drive with Praga Team ANZ, and the turnaround for commuting, car prep, and competing was nothing short of bonkers.

John's trip to the Alps involved the sale of his much-loved BMW Z3M Coupe, but, as you'd expect, things weren't quite as straightforward as they should have been.
