The Ignition Podcast

Lucas is a 13-year-old go-kart racing driver with a lot more than just skills on the track. Lucas and his crew chief/Dad Adrian are so open about their experiences on the grid so far, with this being Lucas' second full year on track. Lucas is determined to prove to himself and others that you don't need a lot to be the best. It's amazing what a positive and robust mindset Lucas has at such a young age. His mindset is a by-product of the high-pressure circumstances he finds himself in, where most people his age are buried in textbooks. 

Lucas' stack is twice as high as he balances life on track and life at school. I am so excited for you to meet the pair as they tell their story about starting with very little and being mentored by Team Hard Racing, for who Lucas is an academy driver. It is evident through the interview how important mentoring is at this stage in life to breed the best racers and make sure they have the tools to deal with all that motorsport has to offer.

Mike Fernie is one of the UK's most entertaining car journalists. I have ever had the privilege of watching and now have spoken to him. In the podcast, Mike says about how he started in journalism, how one move to London changed the game for him, and how meeting one of his car heroes ignited his passion for cars even further. Starting at Car Throttle and then moving to DriveTribe to work with the Trio has probably got to be up there with one of the best Jobs in motoring today, and we get to hear what it's like from the man himself. Mike speaks with humility and passion about his time at Drivetribe and his excitement for current and future videos with the platform. I know that you'll connect deeply with what he has to say, so get ready to meet the man behind the camera as the conversation develops and be inspired to achieve great things in the car industry. Thanks for Listening!
