It was only when we rang Jody Scheckter's doorbell that we remembered that the 1979 Formula 1 World Champion was our first ever podcast guest back in 2009. Over 100 podcasts ago we decided that our recordings would be a lot more interesting if we invited a guest along and Jody was an obvious choice. Eight years later and we've finally pinned him down again. We had so many questions from the readers that I binned the script and simply asked as many as possible. Cue stories on his formative years, his arrival in F1, his time at Ferrari, the world championship and his current work at Laverstoke. Enjoy and, as always, let us know what you think.

It's taken us a while to pin two-time Le Mans winner Alex Wurz down – he's a busy man with work in both the World Endurance Championship and Formula 1 as head of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. However, we did finally catch him on his way out of the UK and this is the result: a fantastic hour of Formula 1, sports cars, BMX world championships and being inspired by Steven Spielberg's film ET. Enjoy and, as always, let us know what you think. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most of you will know Simon Taylor as the man behind Motor Sport's 'Lunch With' series – one that has included 125 lunch-based interviews with the sport's biggest names. He first sat down for 'Lunch With' in June 2006. The subject was Max Mosley and the pair ate at the Café de Paris where the then-president of the FIA ate "a tiny lobster mousse, green salad, still water and an espresso".As the issues rolled on Simon had lunch with a huge array of names from Tyler Alexander to Alex Wurz via Ross Brawn, Richard Petty, Ron Dennis and the late Chris Amon. After 10 years of lunches Simon has decided to call it a day (he'll still write for Motor Sport, but he's stepping down from Lunch With) and to honour what Damien Smith describes as "the greatest series of interviews in motor sport publishing" we decided to sit the man himself down for a bite to eat. Want to know what all these big names were like to interview? Enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We also find time to talk about sports cars, Formula 1 and young British driving talent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alastair Caldwell tells good stories. A lot of good stories. Whether it's about how he got into the sport or what it was like looking after James Hunt the night before the Canadian Grand Prix they are always entertaining and they usually end with a michevous cackle. For this Royal Automobile Club Talk Show we focused solely on 1976 – the year that James Hunt won the title. It was an incredible year in Formula 1 with everything from terrible accidents to race disqualifications. "I remember when we were on our way back from Japan," Alastair told me after we stopped recording, "and we all said to each other: There's no point in taking this to Hollywood, no one would believe what happened." Over 30 years later Rush, the Hollywood film centered around 1976, was made. The Club is celebrating that world championship year all through 2016 and only two weeks ago hosted a dinner with John Hogan, Freddie and Tom Hunt and James' two sisters and brother. We hope you enjoy Alastair's view on the season which changed so much for Formula 1. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Being the month of May we sat down with Sir Stirling Moss to talk Monaco and the Mille Miglia. Moss famously won the latter in 1955 with Motor Sport's continental correspondent Denis Jenkinson aboard the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. In Monaco he also enjoyed great success with Grand Prix wins in 1956, 1960 and 1961. His last win there, when he held off the faster Ferraris behind him, is widely considered one of his greatest races of all time. We also take readers' questions which cover Moss' greastest corners, his retirement from racing and much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Williams in the 1980s, Frank Williams, Patrick Head, the state of modern F1, the problems with overtaking, Toyota, Jarno Trulli... There is not much we don't cover in this podcast with Frank Dernie.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Surtees has a lot of fans. That much is clear from how many questions and good wishes were submitted when we announced we were recording a podcast with him.He's also amazingly sprightly and his memory is far better than mine. At the end of the podcast below I fired a completely random question to him about racing around the streets of Madrid in the late 1950s and within a matter of seconds he was into a story about the crowds and Francisco Franco sitting in a dangerous place. Astonishing.We talk through the 2016 Motor Sport Hall of Fame shortlist (below) and John gives his view on who he'd like to see victorious in each category. What's more, we take as many questions as possible.The shortlist, as voted for by you, is: Formula 1 – Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth, Gilles Villeneuve, Professor Sid Watkins, Sports cars – Derek Bell, Brian Redman, Pedro Rodríguez, Motorcycling – Joey Dunlop, Mike Hailwood, Valentino Rossi, Rallying – Richard Burns, Sébastien Loeb, Hannu Mikkola, US racing – Dan Gurney, AJ Foyt, Roger Penske.Here's what Il Grande John had to say... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I first met McGuinness at the Isle of Man TT in 2011. I was on the island to write a colour piece about the week’s racing and the big characters and John was top of the interview list.Having organised the trip at the last minute the only hire car left on the island was a pink soft-top Nissan Micra. I decided to take my ‘bike helmet and hitch lifts. It was because of a particularly mad Frenchman – who had given me a lift from my campsite to the paddock that morning on his (very fast) BMW tourer – that I knocked on John’s motorhome door with slightly shaky hands.John opened the door, invited me in and offered me a ‘cuppa’. Being relatively new to road racing it seemed odd that one of its most successful counterparts was happy to be making tea. Formula 1 this was not.What followed was a fascinating 45 minutes chatting about the TT course and what makes it so special. By the end of it I had to keep reminding myself who McGuinness was such was his normality. To be fair, most road racers I have met are some of the most ‘normal’ people in racing. Is it because their passion is so dangerous that they behave off the track the way they do? Possibly.Since that day in May five years ago I’ve bumped into John and interviewed him on numerous occasions and despite the number of TT wins continuing to grow he has always remained exactly the same man I met in that paddock motorhome. He was inducted into the Motor Sport Hall of Fame in 2014 and, on typical form, he had the room in stitches as soon as he was given a microphone.“I was first put on a motorbike when I was three years old by my dad,” he told the 400-strong crowd, “and I’ve come a long way since then. I once wrote in to Jim’ll Fix It asking to do a jump with Evel Knievel, but in hindsight I’m kind of glad I didn’t. There’s only so much I’ll do for a jump with Evel Knievel…”Yesterday we recorded the podcast (which you can listen to below) before McGuinness was awarded the Segrave Trophy – a Royal Automobile Club trophy on which is written: “The simple idea behind this Tribute to Sir Henry Segrave is to stimulate others also to uphold British prestige before the world by demonstrating how the display of courage, initiative and skill – the Spirit of Adventure itself – can assist progress in mechanical development.”In the past it’s been won by the likes of Malcolm and Donald Campbell, Geoff Duke, Bruce McLaren, Jackie Stewart, Mike Hailwood, Colin McRae and Joey Dunlop. The Segrave Trophy is truly a ‘who’s who’ of motor racing and McGuinness’ addition to the list of names is, in my opinion, long overdue.How many other sportsmen have stayed at the top of their game for 20 years? Rossi has managed it in MotoGP and there were the Redmans and Fittipaldis, but the list is short. Bear in mind that McPint has stayed at the top of his game in road racing – a part of the sport which remains extremely dangerous. You don’t play on that knife-edge of control for long in road racing without a huge amount of talent.At the end of the podcast I asked him about Macau – a street circuit where he has always been quick – and he paused before answering: “I think I’ve only been arrested there once…” Of course, the subsequent story had us all in stitches.Before he accepted the Trophy from the Club’s chairman Tom Purves, a highlights video was played of his remarkable 2015 Senior TT win (below). After a difficult year in 2014 and then a challenging week up until that race in 2015 some were asking whether it was time for McGuinness to hang up his helmet. He answered in spectacular fashion and dominated the headline event. The video showed a master on the edge of control, but within his talents. It was footage that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.McGuinness was on stage soon after and gave a heartfelt thanks to his wife Becky and to Murray Walker for making the journey to be there in person. Near the end of his speech with the trophy replica in his hand he paused and, with the room expecting another story, he asked deadpan: “Is this gold? It’s bloody heavy. I bet this would fetch a fair sum on eBay.”He says he still has a year or two left in him and I don't doubt it. He does say, though, that when he does retire he'll head up to McGuinness's on the TT track – a quick left-right after Handley's Corner and before Barregarrow – with a case of beer and a few sandwiches. "I can sit there and tell the marshals how fast I used to be through there..."John McGuinness – 2015 Segrave Trophy winner, 23-time Isle of Man TT winner and one of the most humble men you’ll meet.

It was 5am and due to a computer failure the queue for check-in at Gatwick airport snaked out of the terminal door. Because of all the audio equipment needed to record a Motor Sport podcast there was no way I could proceed with hand luggage only.Having tried for a few years to secure Nigel Mansell as a podcast guest it looked like I was going to miss the flight to Jersey and the first proper chance... This was going to be a tough one to explain to editor Damien.Amazingly – with a little queue jumping – I made the flight and The Mansell Collection in St Helier, Jersey by 10am. The 1992 World Champion was there already, finishing another interview and within 15 minutes of arriving the tape is rolling. The next hour is spent talking about his rise to Formula 1, his memories of Colin Chapman, his stint in Indycar, the touring car outings and his thoughts on the likes of Senna, Piquet, Prost and Keke Rosberg.
