We always knew an hour spent with five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell would be an hour well spent. But we didn’t realise just how amusing it would be. Indeed – this is the first podcast that finishes with an impromptu round of applause.

Derek is so full of stories that we could have spent the entire afternoon in the office listening to his tales. We’ve got in as many as possible, from Formula 1 and sports cars, but if you’re still not satisfied (we think you will be) there’s always his book Derek Bell: My Racing Life.
We hope you enjoy it. If you would like to subscribe to these podcasts then visit our podcast feed or our iTunes page.
