    Episode 39: RC Car Racing - Just toy cars or is it proper racing?
    Feb 8 2026

    This week, the boys aren't at the pub (again)... instead, they are visiting one of the largest indoor RC car racing events in the UK... the 2026 MKGP.

    This isn't a bunch of blokes playing with toys, either. Oh no, the British Off Road Grand Prix brings 430 competitors from all over the world for three days of high speed, highly competitive racing right in the centre of the MK:Centre.

    So, what do the boys make of these 1/10 scale electric off-road RC buggies, truggies and trucks? Well both have raced in their youth, so enjoy this special trip down memory lane.

    Episode 38: LAND ROVER DEFENDER - It's been a DECADE since production ended 😢
    Feb 1 2026

    This week, the boys aren't drinking beer... they're not even in the pub! But, don't worry, they are still talking cars. In fact, this week, they are talking about one very important car... the iconic Land Rover Defender.

    It's now been an entire decade since the very last Defender - classic style anyway - rolled off the production line. Today, it remains as popular as ever and is still a recognisable icon to this very day. So, what stories do the boys have on this global legend?

    Grab your coffee, as we are about to find out.

    Episode 37: TESLA drivers are GETTING AWAY with speeding! - And what car won the WhatCar? awards?
    Jan 25 2026

    This week, the boys are in a different pub but don't worry, thats the only change...

    In this episode, Tim has gone all giddy for the World Rally Championship with WRC Monte Carlo. Ian's Land Rover is back on the road (at last).

    There is also worrying - or annoying - news that some Tesla drivers are NOT being fined for speeding AND a host of cars have pick up awards at the annual WhatCar? awards. Oh and there is a new Bugatti, too, the one-off FKP.

    All this and more - including a rather naughty confession from Ian - is in this episode of A Pint of Petrol.

    Recorded January 2026.
