Historic Racing News 2024: Episode 10
Description
The team takes a look back to Monaco Historique and Nick Padmore talks Paul Tarsey about how he he raced two of Colin Chapman’s famous JPS Lotus cars at this year’s event.
He also explains some of the unique challenges which Monaco can pose and how he was invited to take Zak Brown and Adrian Newey on a track walk, the day before the action started, to explain to them both where Monaco’s most treacherous spots await the unwary.
Zak was racing the ex-Alan Jones Williams FW07 and Adrian was racing his GLTL Lotus 49 over the weekend. Monaco is not just about the racing and Jim Roller discusses the three high-profile auctions which took place over the same weekend in the principality, especially looking at the sale of Jody Scheckter’s collection.
Paul Jurd has been reading Peter Higham’s latest book in his ‘Grand Prix Cars, Car by car’ series which covers the decade 2000 to 2009.
