Gareth Jones On Speed
Summary: THE podcast for petrol-heads, by Gareth Jones (of ITV1's Speed Sunday & How2, and A1GP pit lane reporter) and his F1 and car-mad mate Zog. With satire from Richard Porter (Sniff Petrol, and BBC Top Gear) and car games from Violet Berlin (GamePad). GJOS covers everything on 4 wheels — from Audi to BMW; Ferrari to Williams; Renault to McLaren; Ford to Porsche; Alfa to Mercedes; VW to Jaguar; classic cars to concept cars; road cars to racing cars. There's every kind of motorsport Formula One, WRC, Le Mans, GP2, Indy Car, ... And drivers, from Damon Hill and Ayrton Senna to Schumacher, Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Vettel and Jenson Button. Where else can you find auto racing, motors, F1, rally, motor sport, road cars, comedy, news comment, Formula 1, songs and games all in the same place, served up with a wry grin?
