A few years before his death, I spoke to Sir Jack Brabham. The obvious start was to get him reminiscing about the old days. To my surprise he almost immediately said “you should speak to Ron Tauranac”. Ron had a long friendship with Brabham and Ron helped him no matter which team he was in and then held the official position of the design expert behind the cars that carried the Brabham name. Sir Jack's reference wasn't just a passing comment; a polite thank you, thrown into a speech about himself in the style you often see at the Oscars. It wasn't even a formal recommendation to broaden the research. Sir Jack's eyes lit up with enthusiasm, it seemed clear to me that Brabham felt that any discussion of his career needed to consider his mate and his mate deserved a large amount of credit. Ron Tauranac passed away recently at the age of 95. Someone who is close to motor racing and to the characters behind the events is celebrated motoring journalist Will Hagon. In this interview with Will he covers • How Ron was a partner, an integral part, of Brabham's success • The beginning of Ron's fascination with cars • How he and Jack went in the 1953 Redex trial • How Ron became the biggest builder of racing cars in the world • The role Ron played in the career of Larry Perkins • How Ron helped jack even before he was on his team • Talking with Ron in his later years, attending his 90th birthday and taking a picture of Ron beside a painting of a famous Brabham racing car. Ron Tauranac and Sir Jack Brabham had a friendship, a collaboration, a mateship that stood the test of time including the extremely difficult, complex and political environment of Formula 1 motor racing. Ron was one of the special Australia's who pioneered creative and successful technology but sadly remains less well known that Jack Brabham and many others know that he deserves.

Racing reporter Will Hagon joins us to discuss the upcoming Adelaide Superloop 500. The first practice session for drivers was held today. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello and welcome to Overdrive, a program that looks at the factors affecting our attitude and actions to motoring and transport. I’m David Brown And in this program, we look at news stories with including: 1. MIT's new self-driving car navigates without road markings 2. Sweden builds life-size slot-car track for long-distance electric-car charging 3. Despite government efforts, keyless ignitions linked to carbon monoxide deaths 4. Elon Musk envisions $1 rides to use Boring Company tunnels 5. Shell Airflow Starship semi truck leaves San Diego on record fuel-economy run 6. China reduces import duties on cars We have a lovely chat with motoring commentator Will Hagon about the early history the imaginative, ingenious car company Alvis that started in 1919. And Brian Smith and Errol Smith and I take a merry, look at some unusual stories of the day including 7. Royal wedding cars 8. Drunk mower driver arrested after cutting someone else’s grass

A few colleagues have been telling me a lot about Alvis motor cars. Well regaling in all its positive sense might be a better word. The company that became Alvis Car and Engineering was a British manufacturing business in Coventry started in from 1919 and ceased in 1967. Why did the subject come up? Let me be very brief in my introduction. It started when my brother in law showed me the working of an SU carburetor. Stick with me here. The SU carburetor was built in volume for most to the 20th century. My first car had one. I mentioned this on face book. There was a wave of nostalgic comments. One was from a colleague, well known motoring commentator Will Hagon. He spoke of the famous Alvis Speed 20 which had triple SU carburetors. To be regaled as in entertained, amused and delighted is just not a strong enough word. There is much to talk about and who better than Will Hagon himself who is on the line now.

Minions of the world, it's all over. In the sunset of the Warbster's reign of terror over Australian motor racing, we look back on the good, meh & ugly of the 2017 Supercars season. Then we reflect on the Warbster's rule, a time of the biggest changes in the sports history.Stat nerding ! Factual content ! Self Warbstertorialising ! and even a Will Hagon reference ! Don't miss out on Episode 6 of the Warbstercast !

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.
