    I remember getting Toca2 on the PlayStation and absolutely loving the game and the championship. I’ll be honest I’ve got bored of watching it in recent years but I am going to try it again this year. Thanks to this podcast.

S9 E1: Simon Harrison
Q: What was your most precious moment in motorsport?
Harrison identifies his 2003 Macau race as his career highlight. Despite limited racing that year, he qualified near the front and was running second before being taken out on the final lap. He also singles out winning the 1999 National Saloon Car Cup.
S9 E1: Simon Harrison
Q: How did you adapt to front-wheel-drive saloon cars after racing single-seaters?

S8 E5: Brad Joyce
Q: What were the early steps in the championship and how did the team adapt to the limited budgets?
Brad outlines his early roles with Charlie Cox and the challenges of running a near-scrappy operation, including the need to build and maintain a hatchback after Thruxton's shunt and the importance of resourceful engineering.
S8 E5: Brad Joyce
Q: How did you first get into racing and what sparked your interest in the first place?
Brad explains his path from karting to racing engineering, the influence of his father, and how his goal shifted from becoming a driver to working in the sport as an engineer, recognizing the opportunities in touring car racing during the 1990s.
S7 E7: Silverstone 1998
Q: What first comes to mind when you first think about this season finale from 1998?
