Matthew presents #LondonGP - ZoneOneRadio's motor sport and radio extravaganza thingy.

This week from London’s glittering Canary Wharf where the lovely people from Singapore Airlines invited him to "Test his driving skills around the Marina Bay Circuit in a full sized simulator and have a chance to win a luxury trip to the real-life race in September!

So he's roped in #LondonGP’s very own virtual racing young gun Andre Harrison - who runs a motor sport gaming YouTube channel - and frankly he gets more viewers than I get listeners.

As if this real life reality drama journey wasn’t enough, Matthew speaks to regular contributor, the most respected motor sport communications professional in the world, Global Head of Content for Formula E Andy van de Burgt who is in Paris to interview Jean Todt.

Music this week for a hot night in a grimy from the likes of Eddy Grant, The Stranglers and The Presidents of the United States of America

And we have a little bit of a ZoneOneRadio scoop for you, Andy will be able to reveal what his very exciting new job title is.

Matthew presents #LondonGP - your weekly motor sport and music extravaganza on ZoneOneRadio.

This week Matthew speaks to the best young racing driver in London, Jack Aitken.

Jack talks balncing motor sport commitments and A-levels, the role of parents in a young racer’s life and career and his burgeoning motor sport rivalry with the best young racing driver in Wales.

And as usual Matthew also speaks to the only man who he knows who is important enough to have been sent on gardening leave, the most respected motor sport communications professional in the world Andy van de Burgt.

Talking to an eighteen year old who’s already a racing driver has made Matthew feel quite old this week, so he’s playing lots of music from before Jack was born - with the aim of making you feel old too!

This week the show heads to Brighton, which since 1905 has been home to The Brighton Speed Trials - which makes it Britain and possibly the world’s longest running motor sport event

But political correctness has gone mad yet again and the event is under threat.

Brighton is the only place in the UK a green council and they have provisionally cancelled this year’s event.

#LondonGP is stepping in to put the tree huggers in their place. Matthew speaks to Tony Watts of the evocatively named Brighton and Hove Motor Club ahead of the council meeting where the final decision will be made.

And of course as always Matthew talks to and takes a music request from the most respected motor sport journalist in the world, Autosport Editor in Chief Andy van de Burgt

Music this week from Aqualung, The Jackson 5 and The Climax Blues Band amongst others…

This week from Autosport International at the NEC in Birmingham.

In what is becoming a bit of a #LondonGP tradition, regular contributor Autosport Editor-in-Chief Andy van de Burgt gives us his predictions for the motor sport year ahead.

And we have a quick look back at his predictions from last year to see how he did.

That, of course, leaves our regular “Letter from the Editor” slot without a contributor. But fortunately, for the second year in a row, Damien Smith Editor of Motor Sport magazine fills in.

#LondonGP’s intrepid roving reporter Rupert Suren will be speaking to him in about five minutes.

This week, while everyone else lazily packages up old content and tries to pass it off as a “Best of” show, Matthew gets dangerously close to some actual motor sport broadcast journalism - an exclusive interview with reigning FIA World Endurance Champion Allan McNish, who has just unexpectedly announced his retirement.

In the interview he talks about why he decided to retire while still at the top of his game, scotches the rumour about a move to Porsche and avoids Matthew’s question about the idea that he’s joining BBC1’s Formula 1 presentation team following David Coulthard’s suspected move to SKY.

And as you’ve come to expect by now, Matthew talks to the most respected motor sport journalist in the world, Autosport Editor-in-Chief Andy van de Burgt.

Music this week from Garbage, The Doors and Franz Ferdinand twice!
