Rusty was a massive fan of the British Touring Car Championship in the 90's (he's still got the VHS tapes) so when he arrived at Bathurst recently and saw Gabriele there, he had to chat with him. A star in karts, he had no real intention of going car racing! Some practice laps in an open wheeler changed that and Gabriele went all the way to Formula 1. Sadly the F1 cars he raced weren't great for showcasing his talent but in a Touring Car he was something else. His little known meeting with the legendary Enzo Ferrari, memories of that iconic Alfa Romeo 155 in the BTCC & much more.  Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know what you want to hear about in future Rusty's Garage episodes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The British Touring Car Championship season threatened to become a one-horse race at times in 2023, such was the searing speed of Ash Sutton and his Motorbase Performance-run Ford Focus ST.

And TOCA's support classes were once again thrilling to follow.

Kicking off with Indycar at Indianopolis, where we had lots of drama. Felix Rosenqvist took the win, with Alexander Rossi and Alex Palou in 2nd and 3rd place. The NASCAR All Star race took place at North Wilkesboro, where Kyle Larson nabbed the $1 million prize. Liam Lawson is leading the points in the 2023 Superformula Series in Japan. Could Lawson come into Formula 1 from here? In Australia, we had the Supercars, where the Camaros had the podiums in all three races. At the 24 hours of the Nurburgring, we had a non-German team winning for the first time in 23 years. Driver David Pittard brought the Ferrari over the line for the Winner. Formula 1 Academy ladies were driving in Barcelona, where Lena Buhler took the win in Spain. Snetterton saw the British Touring Car Championship racing this weekend. With huge, motorcycle curbs, Ash Sutton continues to run away with the championship in his Ford Focus ST, followed closely by Tom Ingram and Colin Turkington. It was a Yamaha weekend at Donington Park for the British Superbikes, as Kyle Ryde won the sprint race and race 3, whilst Jason O'Halloran won the 2nd race.There was Caterham racing in Croft in the UK, as the Caterham Academy continues their Championship. Silverstone also saw the Citroen C1 24 hour race, which was highly exciting! The last 13 minutes of the race saw contract between the top two drivers, resulting in drive through penalties, changing the result of the race. Next weekend sees the return of the spectacular Monaco Grand Prix! NASCAR is at Charlotte and BTCC at Donington!

Ahead of the action at Snetterton this weekend, Martyn Lee invites Autosport's BTCC insider Marcus Simmons and Group National Editor Stephen Lickorish to discuss the thrilling prospects of the British Touring Car Championship season so far.   2023 has already seen excitement surrounding the return of option tyres, tweaks to hybrid rules, and the challenges reigning champion Tom Ingram has face in his bid to protect his status as number one.   On the podcast we discuss the changes made to the hybrid rules following their introduction in 2022 and how they will impact the racing landscape.

He also talks about how his long relationship with Vauxhall and General Motors first came about, the cheeky bit of gamesmanship that helped him win the 1989 BTCC, how he feels nowadays about that controversial 1992 title decider, which of his BTCC rivals was the most fun to wind up and the time BTCC chief Alan Gow squared him up for a prank. John also talks about seeing the clear benefits of motorsport to the brands his car dealership sold, the ex-Peter Brock car that he now owns, and why he retired from racing full-time at the end of 1999.

We're talking to Roland Dane on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. We open the first part of our two-part chat getting the rundown on the new era at Triple Eight Race Engineering following the changes in ownership and management over the past 24 months, headlined by his stepping out of the Managing Director and Team Principal roles. Dane then rewinds back to his early years in business and motorsport in England and Triple Eight's time in the British Touring Car Championship and Super Touring, which led to his first visit to the Bathurst 1000 in the late 1990s with Peter Brock driving. He also talks about moving to Australia and establishing Triple Eight in V8 Supercars in 2003 and securing Craig Lowndes' signature one year later – as well as his Australian ancestory!V8 Sleuth Superstore: https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/

Charles Leclerc is back on top of the F1 podium, but what does victory in Austria mean for his title hopes? How worried are Ferrari about the engine issue which ended Carlos Sainz's race and robbed them of a likely 1-2 finish? Max Verstappen still leads the championship by 38 points, but are there problems Red Bull must solve to keep him ahead? Tom Clarkson and Natalie Pinkham chat through all that plus Mercedes and McLaren with Channel 4 TV pundit Billy Monger and British Touring Car Championship racer Jade Edwards. Williams driver Alex Albon, Haas Team Principal Guenther Steiner, Aston Martin boss Mike Krack and Alpine's Esteban Ocon drop by to give their views on the race weekend.

We were delighted to welcome to Brooklands Museum the legendary team boss of West Surrey Racing, Dick Bennetts, whose Formula 3 drivers have included Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen, Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello and Jonathan Palmer. WSR bowed out of F3 at the end of 1995 as the most successful team in the history of the series, both in terms of race victories and titles. From 1996 the team has concentrated on the British Touring Car Championship, with drivers including Nigel Mansell, Tom Kristensen, Andy Priaulx and multiple BTCC champion Colin Turkington. In total nine WSR drivers have won an FIA World Championship, while past and present racers have accounted for over 1500 Formula 1 starts, 18 Le Mans 24 Hours wins, two Indycar titles and 36 wins, an Indianapolis 500 victory and over 200 BTCC successes. WSR continues to run the BMW manufacturer assisted team in BTCC in 2022. With a wealth of anecdotes from more than 30 years in top level motorsport, Dick was in conversation with Harry Sherrard.

Welcome to episode 19 of the Lovecars on the Grid podcast! Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman return with another roundup of motorsport events from the past week. Unfortunately, our audio isn't quite as good as last week, as Tiff joins us on his mobile phone. Apologies for any inconvenience to our listeners! This week we have F1, W Series, British GT, Touring Cars and NASCAR! Kicking off in Miami with Formula 1! The event was very well hyped, with even a fake marina and boats on show! Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen performed a trademark, bold move on the first corner, and took the race win. Mercedes had a disappointing race, finishing in 5th and 6th with lots of porpoising going on. The W Series was supporting the F1 in Miami. It was a perfect win for Jamie Chadwick, with 2 wins this weekend. Last year's Winner, Alice Powell ended up stalling on the grid and finishing in 6th place. The World Endurance Championship was at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. It was typically Spa weather, with lots of rain. The #7 Toyota was victorious, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez, beating Alpine in 2nd place. The World Touring Cars started their season with a reverse grid at the Circuit de Pau Ville. The win went to Argentine driver, Nestor Girolami. British GT was taking place at Silverstone, with a win for Barwell Motorsport in their Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO. NASCAR was at the famous old oval, Darlington. We had a very controversial ending, with some questionable driving for Winner Joey Logano, who drove into William Byron and put the leader into the wall. This weekend, we have Indycar at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. IMSA are at the mid-Ohio course. Moto GP is back at the Le Mans Bugatti circuit in France. Formula E has a double header in Berlin and then in Britain we have the British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch!

Sportscar racing legend Tom Kristensen is a special guest in the latest episode of the Autosport podcast, discussing the Dane's remarkable career across multiple categories. The most successful driver in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Sebring 12 Hours, Kristensen won Formula 3 titles in Germany and Japan in his early days and also won races in the domestic touring car championships of Britain, Germany and Japan. Retired since 2014, Kristensen has now released his memoirs in English, with contributing chapters from esteemed journalists including Autosport's sportscar correspondent Gary Watkins - who reported on each of Kristensen's Le Mans victories and was part of his pit crew during a British Touring Car Championship race at Silverstone in 2000. Joining Watkins and Autosport Plus editor James Newbold, Kristensen discusses a range of topics including how his 'Big 9' manifesto shaped his team interactions, his determination to race at the 2007 Le Mans 24 Hours after a violent DTM shunt at Hockenheim, why he's at peace with missing out on Formula 1 and his thoughts on the future of sportscar racing

As the 2021 motorsport seasons ramps up, and resembles something more conventional compared to the disruption last year, there are two exciting series getting underway with racing this weekend. Thruxton hosts the start of the British Touring Car Championship. Whilst the FIA Formula 3 Championship returns to Barcelona for the first of seven events this year. Tom Howard is your host today as Marcus Simmons (Deputy Editor, Autosport) and Megan White (News Editor, Autosport) run through everything you need to know to enjoy this weekend's action.

This was loads of fun to record, Tom Chilton had us in fits of laughter so make sure you stick around to the end.Tom is a touring car legend and one of the nicest guys you are ever likely to meet in a Paddock. He's currently (when not confined to lockdown) racing with BTC Racing in the British Touring Car Championship, a Series he first appeared in back in 2002 behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Astra Coupe at just 17 years old. Fast forward through a stint in WTCC, Tom returned to the British scene in 2017 with Power Maxed Racing. He's a multiple race winner, trophy hunter and Championship victor and now looks forward to stepping into the Civic Type R when we finally get racing back underway. We also chat about fish scales and furr...you'll have to listen to the end to find out what all that was about!
