    Report: The Tragic Passings Of Dai Roberts and Julian Grimwade
    May 27 2025
    Motorsport in the UK suffered a double tragedy on Saturday May 24 when two competitors died in very different disciplines of the sport within the space of three hours.

    Leading rally co-driver Dai Roberts died in an accident on the Jim Clark Rally when the Hyundai i20N Rally2 he was sharing with James Williams crashed. Less than three hours later, Vintage Sports-Car Club racer Julian Grimwade lost his life when his 1913 Romano Special crashed on the opening lap of a race at Donington Park.

    Both competitors were popular members of their motorsport communities and Chief Editor Kevin Turner is joined by Paul Lawrence in this week’s sombre podcast to talk about the two passionate enthusiasts.

    Ginetta Junior has established itself as a very successful proving ground for teenagers over the past 20 years and is the focus of the latest Autosport National Podcast.

    Editor-in-Chief Kevin Turner is joined by Group National Editor Stephen Lickorish, who has selected his top 10 drivers from the series' 500 races to help celebrate the championship's milestone year.

    A Donington Historic Festival Review with Nigel Greensall
    May 6 2025
    Prolific historics racer Nigel Greensall joins Group National Editor Stephen Lickorish for the latest edition of the Autosport National Podcast to look back on the Donington Historic Festival.

    Greensall shared five different cars with John Spiers during last weekend's event and, although he came close, did not quite take any victories (https://www.autosport.com/national/news/f4-racer-reynolds-scores-remarkable-cortina-win-at-donington-historic-festival/10720183/).

    As well as reflecting on those races, Greensall discusses the various - and surprising - challenges of swapping between such different cars and the important skills that racing in historic machines can teach drivers.

    The pair also pick out some of the other highlights from the Donington meeting and examine the new GT3 Legends series and how it is important historic racing organisers continue to innovate.

    2025 British GT Silverstone 500 And TOCA Support Review
    Apr 29 2025
    A busy weekend of UK motorsport is the focus of the latest Autosport National Podcast as the blue-riband British GT Silverstone 500 and the TOCA support series openers are reviewed.

    Editor-in-Chief Kevin Turner is joined by British GT correspondent Ed Hardy and Group National Editor Stephen Lickorish to review all of the main talking points.

    They discuss the ominous British GT points lead the 2 Seas Mercedes pairing of Kiern Jewiss and Charles Dawson now enjoy after finishing second in a crazy race where the unusual strategy of the guesting Paradine BMW duo Dan Harper and Darren Leung helped them join an elite club of two-time Silverstone 500 winners.

    A dominant display from Freddie Slater in GB3 is also examined, alongside a far closer GB4 battle.

    Then, at Donington Park, there was a surprise early leader of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB standings, while British Formula 4 was as unpredictable as expected.
