  • Summary

  • In this podcast special Jim talks with Alex Denning, a 25 year old racing superstar.


    The business of modern racing is all about money, contacts and driving talent - in that order.


    Alex talks about doing exactly what his parents didn't want him to do. Making it with McLaren!


    But it costs anything between 5-15 million to break into Formula 1. Sometimes more - your dad has to buy the car company!


    Want. to lose weight? Forget about Ozempic - drive a McLaren very fast for lots of laps and you will be a lot slimmer.


    Alex gives us a young person's perspective on life in Ireland. And on things UK, French and Italian (the French are rude and unwelcoming. Italian driving habits are very strange)


    EVs are losing traction. Why?


    And much more. Enjoy!
