Katayama was superb in 1994 for Tyrrell. A forgotten hero of F1.
Sad news yesterday of the passing of The Brode 🙁
Great stuff. Good to hear Tim's ability to recollect events of so many years ago so accurately 😀
It's interesting to hear Peter say that Adrian Newey gave the Mercedes team advice to make the CLR able to race. I had heard he told them to park the cars, and upon googling it, I found a couple articles saying Adrian told them not to race.
Do you release these as a podcast? Frank is great - and an excellent example of how autistic people can achieve a lot
@@simracer1256 I'm in the process of putting them all on podcast providers
I do hope there's a part two coming eventually, to discuss Roberto's return to the States in 1996!
Jerry has a wonderful way of saying "fucking"! 😆
I still think 1 lap more and he'd of got the Peugeot win at Thruxton 1997. Was stunning looking car and I was always a mondeo fan😂
Katayama San was a lovely guy. I saw him at Silverstone in 1992, he waa behind tge Larrousse garage and waved at me when I walked past.
Although I was born in 82, Gilles is my ultimate hero.
Louise Aitken Walker was another lady racer that Jerry Mahony in btcc.
Oh my goodness! I worked for Sean in 1991-1992 and the memories have come flooding back, hearing his voice, and listening to the fabulous stories. Love it!! So nice to see his face...
nice one Monkey
Fascinating interview, great listen! Could you organise a interview with Peter Collins, Lotus F1 please?
Fascinating conversation with Stohr who I didn’t previously know much about, thank you both for the insights.
Thank you for this, l can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this conversation. I’m looking forward to listening to the Hans Stuck chat. Thanks again
This is an incredibly well done interview that preserves the history of this beautiful sport!!! 👏👏👏
Why didnt i know you had a youtube... :( also supposedly a huge crash for the mater team today.
A childhood hero of mine. In the winter of 1986, he participated in a BBC-televised, Toyota-sponsored event where F1, rally drivers and up-and-coming talents competed in a rally stage, race and an auto-test. My father was invited as his firm was a customer of a sponsor of a competitor on the day. Participants as I recall were: Derek Warwick, Martin Brundle, The Earl of (Johnny) Dumfries, Stig Blomqvist (!?!?), Mark Lovell, Gary Brabham, a certain Damon Hill, I forget the others…but I gazed like a stupid, impressionable 15 year old at the hero I had been watching and rooting for in the preceding F1 seasons as he leant backwards up a rally-prepared Toyota Corolla somewhere near “Tumbledown”. I had to ask my father to stop walking and let me look. Of course, now he is just another English “bloke”. So I avoid worshipping people as people. But…poor Derek was stupidly unlucky in his career and was sooo close to an F1 victory on a number of occasions 84-89, IMO the equal of Mansell in talent and similarly gritty in his approach. And as a human, well, more…human. I can’t ever imagine having a normal interaction or conversation with Mansell as he is just so weird. Warwick is a normal, down-to-Earth Englishman. On that same day at Brands Hatch in late ‘86 I got to speak to Johnny Dumfries a number of times, a complete charmer and who recognised me as an insecure teenager and brought me in to his day on a number of occasions (eg “you are in charge of my crash helmet bag until after the race. Don’t lose it, hand it to me when I am out of the car” or similar…). A real charmer who made a working class kid like me feel comfortable in the presence of a hero F1 driver. I’ll stop waffling now. Back to Derek, recall running onto the track in ‘84 at the British GP as he finished second. The top three doing the circuit parade in the back of a converted car (Ford Capri) with standing space for winners to take the salute of the crowd was a thing back then. The top three? I mentioned Derek. First was Niki Lauda, third in the Toleman was a young (and to that point obscure) Ayrton Senna da Silva…sigh, what a day that was…
Graham played his part in the 70/80/90’s UK MSport scene & seriously punched above his weight as an independent. Went on racing in the 90’s in the Malaysian series & believe only lost x1 race. He’s still got his cars from back in the day & believe still has 1 of his Group A BTCC shells, would love to see it built again. Question I would love to know did his Rs500 that got stolen ever get found? Beautifully prepared cars & did very well, sure his Broadspeed years set him up well for the future. Fact he’s still in business & still doing well with Ford models is a testament to his expertise & work ethic. Old school MSport guy & a legend.
Ian Flux describing Nigel as c**t made me spit my beer out laughing.
Now you need to talk to Gordon Murray
Will certainly try to get him!
A very interesting and insightful interview - nice work Rich!
It’s great you are making these videos deserves many more views I really enjoyed this
Guy is just awesome 💪👍🏁
Woo, Gimmi Bruni, my favourite driver! Thank you for this interview 🎉🎉
Enthralling, Derek is such a great storyteller . A fabulous talent and great ambassador for Irish Motorsport. Thanks for sharing.
Great interview!!
Race-driving must be in her DNA. What a mature, intelligent young lady. Inspirational.
Hello my name Kyle I am from Australia but a shame Jason Plato didn't join the tv competator team for the British Trouing cars Champship
Wonder if hes learnt theres no I in team yet.....You can double barrel your name all you want we all remember aaron you tosser
Worst commentator out there, Sooner Sky indycar sack him the better
A fantastically engaging and entertaining interview (as I knew i would be). Bus driving's loss is definitely F1/journalism's gain. I've always had a lot of time for what Matt has to say and he will most definitely be remembered as a positive force. Nice work Rich on securing this one and hope you keep adding to your amazing collection of chats in the future!
Just caught this on catch up, an incredibly interesting interview with one of the most positive and knowledgeable person in Motorsport. Im still a collector of F1 Racing magazine to this day. Thank you Matt and Rich
Finally got to watch the full interview. Well done and thanks for arranging this, and Paul for 2hrs of his time. Paul was my idol as a kid, and still star-struck in 2023 meeting him at Brands. 🤦🏼♂️ 😂
We need Andy Rouse on here
Sadly Andy is quite closed when it comes to racing, and doesn't really do interviews. We'll see what we can do.
This seems to be the case, worked with some ex Rouse guys & must be something from that era. Always thought Andy should write a book about his journey through his Motorsport years. He played such a huge role in fact mostly him alone in driving the BTCC to what it went onto become & those that know once the Sierra evolved into Cosworth guise ARE really took off literally. The grid grew & ARE virtually was supplying everyone bits to compete with & beating works teams himself was remarkable. Having worked in Motorsport for around 25yrs now I still cannot understand how Rouse did it. Boss,Team owner,Engineer,Driver,Machinist & Mechanic rolled into one trust me that does not exist anymore. If he wrote a book it would sell out & I hope you can twist his arm & get him on your show. Motorsport community & enthusiasts are ready & waiting
I always love the Mallory Park story which we always have a laugh about.
I was lucky to have a chat with Dave in the gatehouse at Silverstone a few weeks ago. Just an incredible man.
I met Alec at COTA last year when I was there helping with Masters Historic. He is a great young man in and out of the car. I would love to see him racing in GB4 next year.
Brilliant interview with ‘Brode’ 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏁
i also raced karts in the 70's like Allen, we raced on a budget. Hi comment about arguing with Dad to and from the track sounds familiar and it was the same with my own son when he raced.
Colin Turkington will always be my number 1 BTCC driver but I became a big fan of Dan's after that 2019 finale and 2020 opener. Horrible way to lose a title, he didn't deserve that but the way he bounced back instantly in 2020 was pure class. I still think it's only a matter of time before the title is Dan's
Fantastic!!
An absolutely brilliant interview with Karl Jones ‘ The Welsh Wizard’ ! 🏴
Great chat Rich and a wonderful guest you had. David Tremayne or DJT is a legend.
It's refreshing how honest Jerry is. I remember the race where he was on the in car camera and got punted off. I think he said Wally! Pretty funny for a 7 year old.

5:25 pm EDT... Hi Katherine, it's your "Believer", from Detroit, MI. Thanks for taking time to conduct this in-depth interview... Definitely, the most diverse resume in racing, no doubt.👌 BTW, will there be a special paint scheme, for your helmet, at Indy, or will keep it normal status quo? Best Wishes, for the Month of May! 🤗 P.S. ... A, "Radar Detector"? "You"? 2 Funny! 😂🤣😂🤣
Good lad Jerry, your remembered well in the racing community and who isn't without a few issues and poor decisions, that is often the result of a life fully lived. I really do hope with the historic scene thriving as it is that we might one day see you on full boost again and my guess is you would be very well received.
