Description

At last, the JEC Podcast returns and we are back in fine style with part one of an exciting interview that investigates the background and lives of the two drivers who took Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in 1953, Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton.We investigate the fascinating and heroic lives of these Jaguar icons with their descendants, as Wayne talks to Stuart Rolt (Major Tony Rolt's son), Caroline Lee (Duncan Hamilton's daughter) and Dominic Hamilton (Duncan Hamilton's grandson). We also take the opportunity to explore the myths surrounding the lead-up to the 1953 Le Mans. Did Rolt and Hamilton really head down to a bar to drown their sorrows and end up having to sober up and jump straight in the cars? Or was it all just an elaborate story to sell more copies of Duncan Hamilton's Biography, Touch Wood? The answer is within this podcast! This interview was reproduced on the JEC Podcast with the kind permission of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and was originally filmed as a video for their archives.
