  • Horsepower Heritage - Behind what it takes to make a podcast for petrolheads

    Horsepower Heritage and The Ignition Podcast. This particular crossover episode features Maurice Merrick. Maurice takes deep dives into automotive history with great storytelling and fascinating guests from the car and motorcycle world. It's all about the people and the stories behind the machines, so I wanted to work with Maurice. Our podcasts may be on different continents, but I believe we share the same goal to help entertain, inform and inspire you listening to do more with your passion for cars. In this episode, we cover why we started our podcasts, the reasons we love cars and the best of what each country has to offer. I enjoyed this episode, so please let me know if you did too!

  • Alex Nevill - Racing 2nd, Business 1st

    Alex Nevill on The Ignition Podcast, Alex is a racing driver who has spent more time on track than off of it. From an early age has been dealing with Dyspraxia, a learning difficulty that means he struggles with his coordination. Something which, for a racing driver, makes the job even harder. It is amazing to see this hasn't stopped Alex from chasing his dreams and pursuing what matters most to him. His passion for racing and his innate motivation to win is outstanding. In the conversation, we talk more about racing being a business than a sport, what he's had to do and how he positioned himself and racing as a creative marketing tool for brands rather than a donation to allow him to continue. I hope you enjoy listening to this masterclass in motorsport marketing from a man in the middle of it.

  • Sunday Special - Goodwood Revival 2022: The Paddock

    A special Sunday episode for those who know nothing or a lot about historic racing of the early 50's the cars, the drivers and the experience like no other. Vehicles like the Lotus-Climax 16/18 and the Maserati 250F are among some of the first rear engines of the old Formula 1 era. This episode is something new and, if you couldn't tell, one which was very strange for me. So, let me know what you think!

  • Spark #10 - Family is the most important thing: Tim Woodford

    This spark is from our most listened-to episode with Tim Woodford. The episode was about how he started the R53 club from humble beginnings and now leads a group of over 20K people, making it one of the most prominent groups on Facebook for a single model of car. Tim's willingness to help and open relationship with everyone around him is probably why the group is such a success. His full episode is linked below, so I hope you enjoyed the spark.
