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...

Well... what an almighty mess.

Back on the streets of Pau in 2009 it looked like a famous underdog win for an Independent was coming in the World Touring Car Championship. And then... *Cue a rogue Chevrolet Cruze*

Dan Mason and Stephen Whitfeld recall the horror of not just that, but 10 of the WORST safety car-induced moments of madness in motorsport.

Yes, it includes Taki Inoue.

FEATURING: Special guest David John of Team Kiwi Racing!

It was the accidental enduro before the enduros...

100 laps of Winton was a marathon for V8 Supercars back in 2004, and it ended in the most dramatic way possible with a late, LATE surprise winner.

Stephen Brunsdon and Dan Mason unpick Cam McConville's great win down under, victims of the horrendous boggy infield, and why a daft panel show should be mandatory for all race series...

Plus there's a special treat, as Team Kiwi Racing's David John talks about Bairdo's pole, their underdog battles and the late, great Jason Richards.

FEATURING: Special guest Johnny Mowlem!

Remember the American Le Mans Series? It was all the rage. Four classes, huge races, and mouth-watering cars... and then came the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2007, where one class was decided in the last corner under abrupt fireworks.

Dan Mason, Laura Donaghy and Joe Hudson re-live Ferrari vs Porsche, diesels designed in pubs, and cheeky Sebring shortcutters.

Sportscar ace Johnny Mowlem also drops in to talk about his part in the battle, and his own F1 dreams.

FEATURING: Special guest Greg Murphy!

Super Touring was taking over the world of motorsport in the 1990s - including down under.

Among this, a truly spectacular contest between three V8 Supercar legends played out at the old Lakeside circuit, featuring a three-wide moment destined for the Louvre.

Eric Barnes and Dan Mason wax lyrical about the 90s, Super Touring Power and the moment Tony Longhurst briefly became John Cleland. *BIFFO!*

Greg Murphy kindly joins us to talk about his times with Audi, his chase of an Indycar career, and his love of Brands Hatch.

FEATURING: Special guest Timo Scheider!

How cool was German Touring Car racing? We all know the answer.

It was even cooler when UK fanboys like our hosts Dan Mason and Steve Whitfield got to see it at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit, and 2008 served up a CLASSIC.

*And that wasn't because VW Polo Cup was still a thing.

We're delighted to have the winner of that DTM race with us in this episode, as double champion Timo Scheider recalls his 'best win', his battles with Paul di Resta, and how close he got to an F1 seat with Benetton...
