Radio Hotlap

Nasser Al Attiyah stops by our World HQ on the way home from South America after his Qatari buggy failed on Day 8 of Dakar to say hello before he heads off to Switzerland for some skiing and duck shooting. The arrival of Red Bull Racing Australia is met with approval by those who search for lightheartedness. Martin says that its all an even deal at McLaren but JSY seems to have been stage hogging at NEC Birminghams Autosport International with a bunch of advice and comments on El Gringo and Lewis. Who will drive the second Bacon F1 car. As Skaifolyness would say its evolution not revolution when it comes to updating the V8SA logo. TV deal done. B12 to have legendary babbler John Hindaugh of Radio Le Mans fame alongside the Boutique Media Centre Manager and a cronic durry bludger which leaves RH in a pickle of sorts. Crazy Johns trigger Vodafone pullback. Corned Beef tactics. Telstra dumps Galaxy and HTC handsets on everyone who does not need one to get contract lock in. Steve gets a memorial iPhone. Port remo

Apple share price tumbles despite record earnings. Retired WRC star Seb gives everyone one more thrashing in Monte Carlo. How we came across the youngest member of the Rid the World of The Clipsal Society at the Encounter Bay Meat Haters Symposium. JP provides an insight as to why Harty never gets a BBQ invite to his house. SVG returns via yet another media stunt but who really cares anyway other than The Quinns when it comes to driver changes at B12. Government F1 spending justified. Allan to get Aston Martin WEC program. Dom at Daytona with TRG before embarking on full SRT Viper ALMS championship. George returning to DVS in a secret car. Stoners DVS car sighted at Banyo.

Despite speculation Christian Horner resigns for Red Bull and not Ferrari whilst we delve further into the reasons why Harty is hated at Chez JP. The lack of a German GP may have something to do with Bernie not wanting to go to Germany again. Huge server disruptions at RH have now been solved. How the Rolex GX class saved the bacon for Porsche at Daytona 24. Silly Ferrari F1 naming conventions. Gleeso gets an Oz Day gong.

A very warm afternoon sipping local Bathurst wines. That is exactly how this episode unravels on the balcony of the Chicane Bar at Mount Panorama with the rather overly boisterous Fogeaux who has arrived to see whats going on at the Bathurst 12 Hour. This in fact brings up the question of whether the event is correctly named and why Foges even bothered to come along. Soon the wine takes hold and his eminence takes over the show. We ponder if Don Panoz has wrecked the DeltaWing concept as well as pissing Nissan off. Betty arrives on the scene and like her or not we think her iconoclastic approach to being part of Australian Motorsport is just what is needed giving credence to our own uncouth mandate.

Bathurst 12 Hour Post Race Press Conference

Our analysis of the 2013 Clipsal 500 Adelaide and the introduction of COTF

The weather is glorious here in the South Island of New Zealand only made better by Highland Motorsport Park just outside of Queenstown. This is a Tony Quinn spectacular and he tells it like it is alongside those that asked him to partner in this passionate venture. Sit back and enjoy the podcast in all its rawness and honesty.

When travelling with other distinguished journalists there comes a moment when the Otaga Pinot Noir has taken hold and we think back in time before spilling anicdotes of our past. For me it was Wayne Gardner et al as they came to grips with the peaky 500cc GP bikes. And who better to relate these moments than Will Hagon whose voice is as legendary in Australian motorsport as Murray was in F1.

Its been a month since JP has been able to speak to the viewers and I put it down to his high level of haranguing one receives in his line of work. Whatever that it. The annoyance that is a podcast recoding device. Clowndes wants it all. Russell has it all. Symmons to bare all. JR to live on forever. Glenn cans it. Siri wont do it. NBN cant do it. How the Asioan Le Mans Series has excluded prototypes without actually saying that. And Rusty Sausage comes back from the detailers.

Stirling Moss has put his foot in his mouth again by saying women are useless at driving racecars. Pukekohe turns it on and rightly deserves a place in the calendar. Madening TV times. How the good guy won the JR trophy. Chinese F1 GP. Foges has his regular say. Dan Day tells us about his new Kumho V8 Touring Car. The Buzz calls in to talk utes. How a Chuckleable Charles Curry halted the podcast. Great new lens for iPhones.

With a warming autumn chicken dish set aside for another time there was plenty to discuss. Sato winning his first big race after years of nothing. Dom taking the Viper to pole and a podium at Long Beach. Seb strutting it in the ME whilst a new set of snappy team mate appeared quashed by special secret dinners. Winton testing and Texas V8 Supercar bragging. Getting to the bottom of why Peugeot has the need to do Pikes Peak. Don gets his fingers in the GA pie at RA. Christina in ADAC GT Masters. Alby sells whilst a tree dies. Our idiot prime minister at it again. Awful sweet Chinese food. Formula E arrives but why is it held in a secret location. iCloud gathers momentum. Apple earnings analysis. And where is all I want in a camera in my phone in my pocket for almost nothing.

A light change of pattern has occurred at The RHHQ due to the onset of JPs age and so its an afternoon Garden Party no less today. Troubles seem to be brewing in a country famous for beers where an eighty something year old maybe called to explain. Naturally he will tell all that the onset of Global Transient Amnesia is to blame so toodelloo, I am off to Majorca with Pixie and Christopher. F1 tyres discussed in a positive way along with Honda announcing its back with McLaren for 2015. The V8s are in Texas it is going to either be a huge hit thanks to International Paulys incessant PR ramblings or another bug hunt a phrase as coined by by Corporal Hudson in Aliens. Allan has been sleeping in The Eau Rouge Log Cabin between event before he does the 24 Hours of Nurburgring with the penmiester, Pedro Lamy plus Darren Turner and Stefan Mucke in the top line Bilstien Aston Martin GT3 an outright car in SP9 class. The impending Adobe Creative Cloud of darkness has descended on JP who consequently is having to ditch

Now that Paddy has a new herb garden to run as well as sort out unruly tyre testing one must not forget how good Nico was in Monaco. Kimi serves it up to Chico. SA Motor Mag turns 100. Canada Dry on the rocks. 2014 engine swaps. Harty makes a complex veal stock. Rob and WashingMachine take their Citroen from Peking to Paris. The Sidetaker stands us up. Al does well at N24. Silver Porsches and RAM upgrades. Philips failing me. H Bone corned beef. Poor rich kids from Seattle. Boring racing in Austin but talked up by International.

Stonie swings by for a show and Roast Lamb with rather interesting tales about the late Sir Frank Gardner whilst JP and Harty do little preparation for the show only to have it come out better than ever. And congrats to The Jeza who sealed the deal with Rachel down the park with a telegram from The Foges and The Stinky Dane.

Wearing a light grey T shirt The Foges causally asks what the weather is like from his London digs smirking slightly. You know its bloody cold here although its rained in France all June which leaves Jason Bright a little bit anxious as he makes his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut. Incredulous was the word that came to mind after visiting the dry Jack Daniels factory in Tennessee although his mood did brighten somewhat later that day. Further tales from Austin and the Detroit Indy race where Foges was helping out Angry Mike from The Detroit Free Press. Shunning the Canadian GP Foges is UK side and now faces the dilemma of a train trip to Le Mans to see International Pauly unveil the 2014 Garage 56 entry. Tales from the latest WWDC of iOS7 and Mavericks and a tasty steak on Angrys balcony.

JP and Harty disect a random dozen images of Allan Simonsen and ones that touched their lives. Both of us thought this was going to be a teary affair but whilst the show does start a bit off beat from our usual style we get back to our usual demeanour pretty quickly. Just wait until the next version of episode 250 coming soon from Denmark.

Sitting around the Danish table is Lars Dominik Bryce and International Pauly where further tales of Allan unfold the night before his funeral. And then we are back in OZ with JP and Duncan Donuts to complete the episode and even more deluxe Danish stories.

The wind is blowing but that will not stop The Secret Life of Us star Samuel Johnson riding into town on his unicycle. Nearly five months ago he set off from Melbourne dropping in at Clipsal 500 before heading to Darwin. All in the name of raising awarenss for his sister Connie who has terminal cancer. We chat to Connie and thank Manager Gino for his effort to pull the Sausage Sizzle together.
