Lucas Blantford is a young, up-and-coming racer. If it weren't for meeting Lucas, I would not have remembered why this podcast started in the first place. Go Karting was and has always been my first love since I was a kid. I have always been competitive and determined; there was no better place to show that than buck more park. But having spoken to Lucas and seen his progression so far, I can see that he is destined for extraordinary things. He started the year with the intent of going into the fiesta cup. Due to complications, he is back in the karting seat, but that will not stop him.

Nabila Tejpar; Rally driver, podcast host, daredevil. The list is endless, but what if, like Nabila, you want to be a rally driver and have started late? Well, there's the time! The rally, unlike F1, is within reach for people starting at 20 and can be easily attained, but being competitive is different. Nabila started out Rallying and soon learnt that she was sub-par. But using her age and wisdom to her advantage, she soon learnt that consistency got you through the rally.

We filmed this when Nabila had just finished her season of Nitro RX and the podcast she was doing in that space. And she told me after that it's one of the most enjoyable things she has done since scandi-flicking around corners.

She talked about everything from her relationship with her parents, her current career with Nitro RX and the future she plans on having in the sport.

I can't wait for you guys to hear more of Nabila, and check her out below!
