The Fast and the Curious

This week the team (minus Betty who is on other sporting duties) head to an industrial estate in east London for a day of karting. However, a lot of the other teams have taken the event far too seriously and are wearing their own kit and have enrolled professional drivers. With Team Principal Greg also out of action after putting his back out, it's a big day for Christian to prove himself on the track.

They're joined by a reserve driver who also loves talking about cars for a living on what he calls “the broadest church of automotive appreciation”, from finding classic cars in barns to the future of motoring; Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show (aka The Car Pervert).

With an actual F1 race this weekend there's also time to preview the Qatar Grand Prix, discuss the probability of a new team joining the grid and answer listener questions about the origins of Formula One and Red Bull's human barriers.

Greg, Betty and Christian take a look at all the action on and off the track at the Japanese Grand Prix.

From Red Bull clinching the constructers title and Oscar Piastri's first podium, to former world champion Sebastian Vettel's bee hives and listener Beth's race review there's a lot of ground to cover.

Christian goes through more listeners questions to explain undercutting and what the hell Sergio Perez was up to at the end of the race, plus Greg has a moan/ request about why tyres are so important despite being quite dull.

With Christian finally recovering from the Singapore Grand Prix, he joins Betty to take a look ahead to the Japanese Grand Prix.

But before they move on, Anne is back on the show to discuss an incredible moment in Fast and Curious history after Crofty only went and KISSED THE BLOOMIN' track (Anne). Once the dust settles on Christian and Crofty's blossoming bromance, they're joined for build up to Suzuka by listener Beth who is en route to the race and needs help finding some fellow fans to spend the race with.

Before some excellent listener questions there's time for Christian to celebrate the recent success of Liam Lawson with a brand new game for Betty to play (sorry in advance).

With Betty away, Team Principal Greg has booked an elite tier reserve driver to join him and Christian; the voice of modern Formula One David Croft aka Crofty.

And they waste no time in fully introducing him into the world of The Fast and The Curious. After getting an insight into where his commentary career got started at a bar in Las Vegas he's introduced to previous guest Anne to discuss kissing tracks and his favourite moments from his history in the sport.

Crofty also gives some listeners' mundane moments the full "lights out and away we go" treatment and gets a surprise message from one of his Sky F1 colleagues.
