October 30, 2024 WhatsApp meltdowns and IronMan legends
Lins spent most of the past week trying to get WhatsApp back after a massive motorsport-related fail. Meanwhile Oz reminds us that some racing drivers are out there doing far more inspirational and productive things, like smashing world records.

🧐 Limited time offer until December, drop Lins a note instead of a WhatsApp

October 23, 2024 What the hell do we do all day for 'work'?
It's a fair question. Sometimes we don't actually know how to answer it.

But with Oz fresh off the plane from a busy week at the Austin GP and Lins headlong into multiple projects for brands in F1, they both share an insight into what actually takes up their time when they're working.

It's not saving lives but it is fun, so don't hate us too much 😘

October 16, 2024 Why some sponsorship deals are hated by team members
Sometimes, to be honest, when you work for a race team there are sponsorship deals that you really don’t want your team to make. Changing the coffee brand, for one. Oz has very strong opinions about coffee, so this is her time to shine.

Also in this episode, Lins asks ‘What do fentanyl overdoses and motorsport have in common?’ A new brand thinks it might have more in common than you think.

Oz has many favourite people to thank this week whilst Lins has an apology for someone.

October 09, 2024 Why don't more brands just do what motorsport fans want?
Lins and Oz are back from their gallivanting and finally, F1 have announced their deal with LVMH so Oz is about to go bankrupt

This week, they’re chatting about the official LandoStand at next year’s British GP which sold out in under two hours and another F1 deal - this time with Oz’s favourite toy/ mindfulness thingamajig.

Notes

October 02, 2024 Think motorsport livery design is easy? Think again.
Coming to you from the past, because Lins and Oz are both on their travels, we've got all the chat for you. From a brand paying car drivers to pretend to be NASCAR drivers, and how clever livery designs make some brands pop. And some, just don't.

Back next week for a more up-to-date episode, when Oz and Lins will be bronzed, relaxed and probably disappointed that they're no longer on holiday. Boooo.

Notes

⏱️ LVMH x F1 deal still TBC

💸 Get paid to have your car stickered up like a NASCAR

⚰️ Liquid Death x Yeti Casket Cooler

🍻 You'll find Oz here during the Austin GP week

🔋 Williams F1 x Duracell livery placement *chef's kiss*

🍩 Ken Block’s iconic liveries

🤐 BAR’s zip livery solution to an FIA problem

🤌 This Italian genius automotive media designer

🖌️ And another clever livery design chap

September 25, 2024 Why preparing for a world championship win is a pain in the a$$
It’s that time of year when - for some championships - multiple teams and drivers could win world titles, so Lins and Oz dig into how teams and brands prepare to celebrate wins, and why nobody wants to be the person in the team who has to order the 'WINNERS!' t-shirts and jinx it before the season is finished.

Then we dive into the world of relationships in the paddock. Oi oiiii! Alright, not those ones… But do we all get along behind the scenes, despite being competitors on track? Let's hope so, eh, otherwise it would be pretty miserable.

Notes
🏆 Vodafone's winner's tees - some poor sod had to ship these round the world to every race. Hope you're doing OK, wherever you are <3

💸 When Kimi almost bankrupted Lotus through winning too much

🍔 The day Bernie Ecclestone felt kind enough to feed hungry Lotus team members

September 18, 2024 Why motorsport fan groups are a missed opportunity by brands
This week, Lins and Oz are chatting about fan community groups that have sprung up in motorsport of late - bravo to them, and long may they prosper.

Plus, where can you get your motorsport fix outside of the big international races? Why not have a look at a local Speedway race? Or maybe a Sunday Scramble in rural Oxfordshire? Or don't. You do you.

Notes

👯‍♀️ Check out the Girls Across The Grid community

💁‍♀️ And their excellent events

☕️ Get your coffee and cars fix at Caffeine and Machine, UK

🚗 Or go for a more British heritage motorsport day out in Bicester, Oxfordshire UK

🤨 Or, if you prefer to be sprayed with shale whilst gear-less bikes whizz past, try this

😘 Thanks for keeping us waiting, Adrian

❤️ Mike Spinelli, the legend

September 11, 2024 Does every motorsport series need a DTS doc? (Spoiler: no)
Lieutenant Porridge and General Donzelot are here to invade for another episode - to see if we can all just stop comparing electric and combustion racing series, once and for all, please? Thanks.

Plus, we've reached peak sports BTS documentary and we're a bit over it. Except for the good ones, which we have handily recommended below. You are welcome.

Notes
🎥 Watch some of the best characters in WRC

😭 Also watch the pre-cursor to Lins' pandemic-failed Valentino Rossi doc

😬 See if you can spot the DTS crew being ignored by Max as he went sailing in St Tropez

📕 Buy Will's new book (and keep an eye out for Lins' book... at some point...)
