On Tuesday 28th the podcast team of Roebuck, Widdows, Arron and myself journeyed north to the suburbs of Northampton to call on the ex-F1, sports car, rally and Indycar designer Tony Southgate.

Greeted with fresh coffee and biscuits we tried to condense his four decades in the sport into an hour. There were one or two things we didn’t have time to discuss…

We did, however, talk about his beginnings in motor racing with Lola, his move to Brabham and then his subsequent stints at Lola (again), Shadow, Arrows, Lotus, Audi… The list is as long as it is varied.

Just the average podcast: Tony signing his book while Roebuck makes friends with Tony’s daughter’s pug

We hope you enjoy it and, as always, let us know what you think. You will notice that there is now a very short advert at the start, one in the middle and one at the end. The podcasts have always been free to download and we’d like to keep them that way. However, they’re not cheap to produce and in order to keep doing them we need to cover our costs. We have to approve which adverts go on the podcasts so hopefully some of them may even be of interest (heaven forbid!).
