  • Hot hatches to supercars – what we've been living with this year #242
    Dec 16 2024

    Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the cars they've been living with in 2024, from a Volkswagen Up GTI to a McLaren Artura, via a basic Porsche 911 and an electric Audi. Does Andrew's bottom of the range Porsche 911 Carrera feel like the poor relation in the 911 line-up? Why did Dan sell the Up GTI that he so enjoyed driving? Dan and Andrew also look ahead to the cars they'll use in 2025.

  • Reflecting on the memorable 2024 F1 season and the new Jaguar concept #241
    Dec 9 2024

    Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the 2024 Formula 1 season, which looked set to be a carbon copy of the tedious 2023 campaign until it suddenly turned into one of the most watchable seasons in years. Dan and Andrew talk about this season's heroes and zeroes and what F1 has in store for us in 2025. Will Max Verstappen win a fifth consecutive title? Is Lando Norris ready to mount a serious championship bid? Will we see a rejuvenated Lewis Hamilton next year? They also discuss the new Jaguar concept, the Type 00, which Andrew has seen in person.

  • The problem with today's hypercars #237
    Nov 11 2024

    Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel consider why the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80 haven't caused the same excitement among enthusiasts as hypercars from the past. Are we just bored with very low-volume, extremely high-performance machines that few of us will ever get to experience for ourselves? Is there something inherently wrong with this new batch of hypercar? Dan and Andrew also look back at the best hypercars of all time to see how the sector has evolved over the past four decades.
