EP37: Remembering Eddie Jordan & learning about Joe Kelly, Ireland's first F1 driver

This week we celebrate the life of Eddie Jordan. He contributed so much to not only Formula One, but to motorsport in general, and all while proudly flying the Irish flag. This week Neil Kavanagh, our resident motorsport historian, also tells us about Joe Kelly. Not only was Joe the first Irish driver to take part in an F1 race, he took part in the very first F1 race at Silverstone in 1950! On top of all that, he has a surprising link to Ferrari.

EP36: Ford's demise in Europe, next-gen MX-5 & the end of the Nissan GT-R

In this week's show we discuss where it all went wrong for Ford in Europe and how using older model names isn't always the wisest strategy. Looking at you, Ford Capri. Did you also know about Fordlândia, when Ford tried to make a city in the Amazon? We mourn the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R and discuss which direction Mazda could take with the next MX-5.

EP35: BMW's archive goes online, Volvo's ES90 and we attend Kia's EV Day

BMW has done something incredible that will have a massive effect on people's productivity. Its archive of models is now available digitally, and let us tell you, it's wonderful.
We also attended the world premiere of the new Volvo ES90, an electric saloon that, as we explain, isn't technically a saloon. 
Kia has unveiled a number of new electric cars, and we went to the EV Day in Barcelona to see what's up.
