With the Formula One season opener getting ever closer, we take a gentle stroll down the pitlane to see how each team's Barcelona "shake down" went, and see what the 2022 spec cars look on track.

Also on the motor sport radar is the first round of this season of Extreme E in the desert, and the thought of a bargain trip to Monaco for the Formula E E-Prix.

A surprise delivery of the new Ford Fiesta prompts Mike, Jim and Graham to compare it with the previous model... and the colours that suit different cars.

They also put many hundreds of hours of watching car-related television programmes and YouTube videos to good use with a discussion about the variety of "content" that is out there, including those concentrating on restorations, and some of the shows that have, over the years, swerved more towards entertainment rather than information.... You know the one(s) we mean!

As some light relief, they also talk about a "giant" VW Beetle seen on facebook....
