They talk about the superhuman way in which professional racing drivers seem to be able to dust themselves off after an enormous shunt and carry on racing with no loss of enthusiasm.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel reveal what it's like to compete in a motor race for the very first time.

And that's before you've done your belts up. But how can you remove stress from what should be a very special occasion? And what happens when the lights do finally go out?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown for episode 250 of The Intercooler podcast. Having orchestrated one of the most remarkable turnarounds F1 has ever seen, taking one of the slowest teams on the grid in early 2023 to the constructors' championship in 2024, Brown has his sights set on more title glory in 2025. He explains how he reorganised the team to lead it back to the front, how McLaren almost lost the title by seven-tenths of a second, and why drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri can step up to another level in 2025.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the latest version of the Porsche 911 GT3, which Dan has driven on road and track in Spain. Though this latest model is as brilliant to drive as ever, it's been developed against a very different backdrop to earlier versions. In fact, might this be the last 911 GT3 as we know it...? Dan and Andrew also discuss the rapidly growing appreciation for modern classic cars from the 1980s and 1990s.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by professional racing driver Darren Turner. A three-time Le Mans class winner with Aston Martin, Darren recently broke the production car lap record at Silverstone in a Valkyrie hypercar, lowering the bar by 10 whole seconds. Darren explains how the attempt compared to a GT3 qualifying lap, reveals how much quicker the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro would be and talks about F1 star Nico Hulkenberg's remarkable day in that car. Darren also reflects on a long and very successful professional racing career that probably should never have happened.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined in the studio by Porsche expert Mark Sumpter, founder of Paragon Porsche. In this episode Mark reveals where the value is in the used 911 market right now, which models he thinks will perform strongly in the coming years, how Porsche oversupplied 992 Turbos and what the effect on values was, and why GT3 and GT3 RS variants no longer command such high premiums on the used market.
