Today, we have Bert Chapman, from Chapman's Corner channel on YouTube.  He's a F1000 racer and competes in this very competitive and exciting championship.  He reveals his story and how he's coped with the ups and downs of motorsport and how that's made him ready for more!
 
He's a lovely chap and we have a great, in depth discussion which I'm sure you'll enjoy.  I'm hoping to do many more of these style of interview in the future.  Let me know what you think.

Plus does sim racing help with go karting.  Let me know what you think in the comments.

This is the tier 2 interview from the SMA GT 500 Championship.  It was a lively and fun chat about how everyday motorsport fans got into sim racing and how they got faster.  We also chat about their hopes for the future and how sim racing is the best way into real motorsport.
 
Drive fast don't crash!!!

Slightly later than it should have been!  We've got the top tier of SMA GT500 Championship.  This was recorded towards the end of the season and was full of insight into how to race to the top level on GT7.  Thanks so much for listening and please add a like or a comment to let me know what you think.
 
Best Wishes

Drive fast, don't crash!

This week's episode is the start of a series where we interview South Africa's top sim racers on GT7.  Today we have, "Leviticus".  He's the SMA GT500 Champion and multiple series winner.  He's superfast and highly motivated and race ready.  We had a great chat about sim racing, F1, and how to go quicker whether you're just starting in sim racing or have been around a while.  I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  Let me know what you think.
 
Drive fast and try not to crash!

On today's show we catch up with Paul Walsh.  He's a commentator for sim and real motorsport and has a great story to tell.  He'll be teaching us his trade with some great examples of how to deal with drivers and avoid yes/no questions!  Paul's a good friend of the show and it was a pleasure to catch up with him.
 
Drive Fast but drive your bus even faster!

On today's US GP preview, we ask Roo if he can resight the 6 remaining grand prix in the correct order!  And what he thinks of them.  We get into the possibilities and championship outcomes if McLaren or Red Bull are competitive.  Or will Piastri spoil the party?
 
Drive Fast & But Drive Your Bus Faster!

On today's show we have James Ruppert.  A former writer for Autocar and many of the major car magazines along with his own online magazine, freecarmag.com.  James is extremely knowledgeable in bangernomics.  That's keeping an old car running on a tight budget and helps us with buying advice for your next used car.  He's also extremely anti-EV.  We get into the topic of evs really being pushed to get us out of our cars because our politicians can only see zero emmissions and not the harm to the motor industry and to people's freedom to drive to get to work and places where public transport simply can't cover.
 
Here's James's YouTube channel and links for his excellent books and more.
