Radio Hotlap

It is Sunday Morning at The Big C and Tom Drewer joins us for the final GT race of the weekend. Foges slides by looking like death and JP is once again late with unsuitable excuses.

Not saying a word. Just view and enjoy.

Harty is off to New Zealand. Smelly is heading to China. F1 is in Melboure. The New iPad arrives. FWBM has a big night out. And Carerra Cup may not qualify thanks to HHF and his wet weather Lamb Chops.

FWBM gets the paperwork. Foges is off to NYC with Rick and Todd. Stonie arrives late. JP loves Perez. Roland spits the dummy. Tassie V8 preview. Kimi says his bit.

Its been an appalling day from a customer perspective. Firstly trying to get some real info from Telstra about their 4G network. Then total failure with Apple Australia and their invisible PR staff who dont use either iCal or iCloud. But our day is saved by a pleasant chat with Lucas Dumbrell, whose motor sport operation is clearly on the rise after Taz Douglas put in a sterling effort at Symmons Plains. That was buoyed by the fact that no one else wrecked their day unlike Clipsal and the AGP. Lucas clearly has a handle on how to develop his brand and were relieved he is on the Mac and iOS platform. Apple Share prices. The father of scanning passes. Defence Signals Directorate. Brendan Reeves at WRC Academy. LTE and 4G explained. Android OS is still on top along with Samsung as a hardware manufacturer. And The Manager joins in, slightly late.

Richard Craill puts a family roast dinner on hold after returning from his boutique media centre at Mount Panorama to explain how lap records should be defined. Sony LED smart TV. Jack goes shooting for his dinner.Simo gets all sorts of new fab drives. Dom gets the factory Viper gig. Instagram sells for 1B. Apple TV A5 die shrink. Nissan everywhere. Courtney and Rossi adaptability problems. Marriage is the quick way to F1. Clipsal lights. Father of 911 passes. Mallala races. Top Fuel at AIR. Worries about Bahrain.

JP arrives quite harangued without his show notes but it did not seem to matter because once Foges got a hold of the microphone there was little input from us. He did have a bunch to say about his recent trip to the US for the Nissan Ultima launch. Nico Rosberg wins for Mercedes. The Chinese Grand Prix was a thriller and just goes to show that drivers can actually get through a race without hitting each other. Marcus heads off to see Bruce Springsteen in LA after a successful test at Winton with Greg Murphy Racing. Duncan Donuts brings ove a nice wine and FWBM has his bit to say. And the mysterious iPhone to Andriod iMessage drama.

The good Doctor Aper comes to grips with the flavour of rare Russian Tomatoes with salt from the Black Sea whilst devouring most of the Parma Ham that the newly installed drinks girl has delivered from Botega Rotelo. JP has his regular rant about the Bahrain GP and Hamilton V8 Supercars whilst we collectively fashom the mysteries of kerb sensor activation. Adobe manages to piss JP off to the max. Harty looks forward to a trip in Brill Rail Car 60. WWDC tickets sales. Apple and Android revenues examined. Microsoft database screwups. The French GP returns and two Indy teams have had a gutful of Lotus.

After a wet weekend in the west we look at why the safety car screwed up. HRT timelapse. Audi dominates at Spa. Stonie stays for the show he never intended on staying for. Luxury troubles. Jean and Ruebens at Indy. Dragon sues. Mac OS 10.7.4. Adobe cuts JPs lunch once again. Rossi in love. Dr Ullrich is back. Qantas blunders. Marcus tangles. George gives himself a D Minus.

Without a doubt this year has been the best for entertainment in Formula One with Maldonaldo taking his first win. Intersting hyrids have a very good chance to success at Le Mans this year. Adobe Activation pain. Retina displays to debut on MacBook Pro at WWDC next month. Apple bails out Elpida DRAM supplier. Marcus goes sprintcar racing and lovs it. Harty tries to establish just how crispy the crispy chicken will be and Dr Aper turns up after being officially banned, before we end up at unchuckleable Charles for dinner.

After giving the Grand Poohbah a large serve Kimi is on the line feeling a bit depressed about a possible but most unlikely WRC drive in Finland. With the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend JP evaluates the tyre options. Roland spits again at PI. Stoner retiring spurs Rossi onwards at Le Mans. Allan is a dad after a very strange N24 finish. Briscoe on pole for Indy 500. F1 set to float but will it be a drama like Facebook. Brendan Reeves hits the Greek Rally Crisis. Uncle Don who owns most things wants Deltawing to race in ALMS ensuring International Pauly more gigs and gold. Jonny Ives gets a knighthood whilst Seagate is set to buy LacCie. Diablo 3 servers. Monte Calro attracts more drivers. Samsung sales and patent wars. IBM bans Siri. KettlePizza kits made for Weber BBQ.

At last the official Le Mans Test Day is upon us and it delivers a bunch of surprises with the new Toyota Hybrid performing very well and International Pauly gets his DeltaWing out on the track to show the world what it can do. Kimi upsets a few people here and there. T8 to lose Vodafone. Apple to unveil a raft of products at WWDC. Google Maps to be dumped in iOS and to be replaced by C3 technologies. Thunderbolt docks. Chicken Maryland. HTC falls out with Microsoft. Allan tops GT-AM with Aston Martin. Seb on Letterman. Wreck It Ralph. Vjay for iPad. All Things D to offer all SJ interviews for free. 3D maps for Earth.

Now that all the money is pouring in the door at RH thanks to the tireless efforts of the Queensland Office JP and Harty seem more relaxed than ever as they discuss the first day of qualifying at Le Mans where the DeltaWing continues to improve and amaze. Meanwhile over on the West Coast of America the Apple World Wide Developers Conference unfolds and with it the new Retina MacBook Pro along with Mountain Lion features and a look at iOS6. The Schu DNF saga. Ferrari cost concerns. The F1 Faux Pas hairpiece pipes up. Ghan to Darwin. Murphs future. Vale John Bagshaw.

Despite none of the free to air TV networks in Australia bothering to show any of the 80th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans we managed to watch the entire event online with audio video and accurate text commentary. To be fair the video was streamed through the TenSport portal so we should be thankful of that since it was the best Le mans for years. Hybrids and Audi team orders. Toyota looking strong. Boring Darwin. Android user interface. Samsung gets Apple money. The 4G court ruling. V8 Ute show. A lost Button. The USB BBQ. Windows Surface. Atto Boy.

After a month or more of trapsing around the world Le Fogeaux calls in to tell of his fun times at Indy and Le Mans where he was on bivouac. The secrecy of hybrids. Nexus Q and 7 tablet appear running Jelly Bean at Google IO. European GP rantings and a range of international giggle with Foges.

Tired out from holidaying in Las Vegas The Ranga Racer jets off to give Marcos Ambrose some tips on how to fail at Sears Point before heading to the Worldwide Gay Convention in San Francisco. Townsville V8 Supercars loom. The London Grand Prix smokescreen. Why the Concorde Agreement is not yet in place. Too many Buttons. McLaren GT cars come to the 2013 Bathurst 12 Hour. Sadness comes in pairs. Greenies wreck the BelAir Targa GP. The best Pepsi livery is not Jacques. iPhone is big in Aussie Enterprise.

In the quiet company of red and black clad ladies JP and Harty enjoy a strong yellow curry with a side order or Hor Tai whilst discussing the larger issues in life which include how Red Bull may have circumvented exhaust blowing Stephane Ratel giving up on FIA GT1 and why Russia is the perfect spot for a new seaside Grand Prix.

Suddenly there is a shake up in the motor sport world with Dindo Capello sort of retiring. Ben Spies leaving Yamaha. AJ Allmendinger goes on gardening leave. United Autosports pulls out of Blancpain GT championship to focus on testing and British GT in 2013 which leave Brabs out of a gig. Rossi to perhaps join Jorge Lorenzo and more FIA GT fallout. How to fail a stall test. Red Bull engine mapping. Damien White sharpens his rule book pencil but may find himself out of a job. Toyota 86 spare tyre debacle. The Jarvis Ford experience. Vettel loses a place. Mountain Lion goes public. The crappy SMH website. iPhone parking meters. 10kph write offs. Bug A Salt. F1 gets a forced holiday. Sandown gets a sponsor. Franck gets a Gold Coast gig.

We start our tale on a very pleasant Thursday afternoon on the pitfall at Queensland Raceway with Marcus then move on to all sorts of hijinks with Jeza Inc and finish next to the Swallows Pub fireplace alongside The Foges, yet at each spot we wrestle with the finer points of motor sport and life whilst being obsequious to those around us. Will Mercedes Benz go to V8 Supercars and will Greg Normans racing double master the art of driving left hand stick shifts. Historic racing cars and overly potato flavoured flounder are high on our list of likes and dislikes. Never has there been such a geographically widespread tale told on Radio HOTLAP.

Two CAMS sanctioned targa events a few days apart on each side of Australia seems to good to be true so we talk to ben Searcy who has moved into the drivers seat and gave Jim Richards a huge challenge at Targa West. Meanwhile in Adelaide its the prologue stage of the Superloc Targa Adelaide which end up with 23000 spectators on the night in Goodwood.
