Episode 127 - Dr Michael Henderson.
Whilst at the HSRCA Summer Festival I had the opportunity to interview Dr Michael Henderson, a motor sport safety pioneer.
Dr Henderson has a number of safety inventions to his name including the six-point racing harness now widely used in all forms of motor sport. The idea came from aviation as many automotive designs and materials have done in the last 120 years.
Dr Henderson also worked on the Sigma Grand Prix safety design with Pininfarina and Ferrari, with many of the concepts getting into motor sport. He has also worked extensively in road safety all the while enjoying his own racing career and historic cars.
Our interview was with a background of historic racing, so sometimes the cars take centre stage!

Episode 126 - The 2024 HSRCA Summer Festival.
On November 30th and December 1st, the HSRCA of New South Wales held their Summer Festival at Sydney Motorsports Park. I attended day one to enjoy the sounds, smells and vision of some amazing cars on track and around the paddock.
Although it was drizzly and wet, it was a great day of racing.
In this episode I introduce the HSRCA to those listeners who don't yet know how important the Association is to historic racing in Australia and describe the racing types and categories of cars.

Episode 125 Motors and Masterpieces Review.
In episode 122, I previewed the Motors and Masterpieces event being held in Melbourne. I return the focus on the event for this episode to get a review of the category winners and an overall view of how the event went as it was the first one since the famed MotorClassica event from a few years ago.
I talk with Todd Gilmour, an ICJAG concours judge who was at the event and judged one of the categories.

Episode 124 - Throwback to the Start!
This episode is a throwback to the very beginning - back in May 2008, I published Motoring Weekly Ep 1 - and here it is. The technology was different in those days so the sound quality isn't as good but it was 16 years ago!

I had the pleasure of interviewing James Nicholls - the founder of the Sydney Harbour Concours d'Elegance.
We had a great conversation about how he created the Concours event, the work required and the fact that it is now a globally recognised event. There is also a sneak peek into what will be on show next year!
