Australian GP Qualifying & Travel Diary

The Super Touring cars, known for their sophistication and cost, were stars of the recent Brands Hatch Super Touring Power. The event was a hit with fans, who flocked to see the cars back on track and get autographs from the stars of the period.   Tom Howard, Marcus Simmons and Kevin Turner hosted the Autosport fan stage and on today's podcast we're delighted to bring you one of our interview sessions with two title winning drivers, Alain Menu and Tim Harvey.   We're also very happy to confirm it WILL return and the 2024 event is scheduled for 29-30 June! Once again Super Touring Power will feature races on both the Grand Prix and Indy layouts of the Brands circuit. The 2024 event will also include all categories of the Classic Touring Car Racing Club.   The recent event showcased the potential for these cars to be a regular feature in historic championships with short, intense races designed to accommodate the high-end vehicles.   Fans were treated to on-track demonstrations and displays of Super Tourers and other impressive vehicles. Highlights included seeing Alain Menu's 1997 British Touring Car Championship-winning Renault Laguna on the track alongside Ash Sutton's current NGTC Ford Focus and a 2008 Holden Commodore driven by Greg Murphy.   A new addition to the 2024 event will be a Group A race featuring the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500s and BMW M3 E30s from the 1980s.   Find out more here: https://www.brandshatch.co.uk/news/2023/jul/12/super-touring-power-to-return-in-2024 Learn more about your ad choices.

Nyck de Vries is out, and Daniel Ricciardo is in at Alpha Tauri. Formula 1 teams changing a driver midway through a season is nothing new, and perhaps when one of the Red Bull stable is cast aside it raises fewer eyebrows than otherwise, but it's still a significant moment for F1 in 2023. Jake Boxall-Legge joins Martyn Lee to look at why Alpha Tauri decided their driver of a decade ago was a better choice than a promising 28-year-old who had just ten races to prove himself. JBL discusses how de Vries finally scored his opportunity in F1 and why it lasted so little time. He talks about what it means for Daniel Ricciardo who failed to replicate his Red Bull success at Renault and McLaren. And finally, JBL dives into the implications for Alpha Tauri and their other driver Yuki Tsunoda.
