FEATURING: Special guest Adam Carroll!

In 2005, F3000 became GP2 (now F2), and brought with it a rush to get the next F1 seat...

Last to join was British F3 runner-up Adam Carroll, but then on the streets of Monaco, the Irishman showed he was not messing around. Dan Mason and Steve Whitfield recap on how he stepped up to beat Heikki Kovalainen, Nelson Piquet Jr and Nico Rosberg and soon joined the BAR F1 test team.

...What followed?

The Ulsterman explains how he became Bernie's 'favourite' driver of 2005, missed out on F1 seats, but nearly found a way in at Lola. And what of Pastor Maldonado? Well.

'Mr DTM' found a new rival in 2002, as DJ (yes) and former BTCC champion Laurent Aiello took the fight to the dominant German.

Dan Mason, Steve Whitfield and Stephen Brunsdon don their DTM fanboy hats to discuss the classic contest at the Norisring, where the Mercedes and Audi rivals REALLY locked horns until the very last corner.

Plus, Bernd Schneider himself drops in to tell his tales of those glory days of German Touring Cars!

Also, remember that moment in Austria when team orders happened? Well, it also happened in DTM - in the same year... awkward.

FEATURING: Special guest star Paul O'Neill!

It was just a normal day in Cheshire for a young lad from the Widness, until he found himself leading race two...

Owy joins Dan Mason and Eric Barnes to re-live his maiden BTCC victory back in 2002 - arguably one of the most popular wins in the series.

He also talks about his friendship with James Thompson, battles with and appreciation for Matt Neal, and that time Mel C and Atomic Kitten shared the paddock together. Strap in!
