  • A story to motivate you in 2024 - Craig Williams | Neutron engines

    Craig Williams of Neutron Engines is on the ignition podcast. Craig is a brilliant engineer and mechanic who has been battling with his health and passion for cars. You have probably seen his work if you're into engines, honda or just cool car stuff. Under the alias Neutron Engines, Craig is developing a brand new V8 out of two K24s and has been developing and solving the problems that come with both. This conversation with Craig opened my eyes to the reality of his condition, and I have even more respect for a man who, despite his deteriorating health, has unshakable optimism and an uncanny attitude towards life, continuing on his journey to build his creation and making it seem so effortless while sharing his condition on his social media.
