As Patrick Head<\/strong> changes direction to concentrate on Williams\u2019 expanding hybrid technology business, we bid farewell to our star columnist, but look forward to a Williams special in the next issue. We\u2019ve also asked him back later in the year to report on progress in his new job. So it\u2019s au revoir<\/em> rather than goodbye.<\/p>\n

Loud cars and a groovy paint scheme \u2013 it was obvious that Richard Heseltine<\/strong> was the man to talk to Ford prep hero Alan Mann about his colourful racing days. It gave him a chance to put a few more miles on his Fiat Barchetta, currently bidding to become the longest-lasting example of the pretty little Italian, though Richard\u2019s neighbours may have a view on this after the episode of the holed exhaust.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a milestone season for David Tremayne<\/strong> as he racked up his 400th Grand Prix as a reporter. He\u2019s known Jenson Button since he was a rookie, so there was no need for introductions as they sat down for this month\u2019s interview. David\u2019s also a Land Speed Record expert who plans to experience extreme speeds from the cockpit himself when he drives his own jet car \u2018Stay Gold\u2019 next year.<\/p>\n

Knowing he\u2019d been to the past 16 Daytona 24 Hours in a row, it made sense to mark 50 years of the sports car classic by asking Gary Watkins<\/strong> to pick out his greatest races at the Florida speedway. The latest edition will also be the 50th 24-hour race Gary has covered, so he\u2019s well used to propping his eyelids open in the small hours in case the leader spins out just when he\u2019s having a snooze. He\u2019s also had his own first taste of banked racing when the Golf GTi series he runs in visited Rockingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35979,167,196,35613,251,226,35745,35860],"issue_decade":[121600],"issue_year":[121648],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/20037"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/issue_content"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/20037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257762,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/20037\/revisions\/257762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20037"},{"taxonomy":"issue_decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_decade?post=20037"},{"taxonomy":"issue_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_year?post=20037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
