FEATURING: Special guest Timo Scheider!

How cool was German Touring Car racing? We all know the answer.

It was even cooler when UK fanboys like our hosts Dan Mason and Steve Whitfield got to see it at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit, and 2008 served up a CLASSIC.

*And that wasn't because VW Polo Cup was still a thing.

We're delighted to have the winner of that DTM race with us in this episode, as double champion Timo Scheider recalls his 'best win', his battles with Paul di Resta, and how close he got to an F1 seat with Benetton...

Who wants to win? Anybody? .....No? Fine.

They say the mountain makes up its own mind - on this occasion it didn't seem to know which way to turn!

The result was two cars that started at the back of the field, and had crashed already, sorting it out over one lap after 8 hours of racing down under.

Sam Hall joins Dan Mason to digress from the point regularly - from team-mates binning each other off, to the safety car's mishap, and what team orders Triple Eight COULD have tried...

Overtakes around the outside + Estoril? = Iconic.

Move over Villeneuve, because in 2004 it was Christijan Albers who wowed the DTM crowds in a classic race with fellow future superstars Mattias Ekstrom and Gary Paffett.

But whatever happened to him? Well, he scored points with Minardi(!)

And what about that grid? Well Dan Mason and Steve Whitfield have donned their fanboy caps to discuss the best F1-to-DTM swaps in history as Alesi and Frentzen go door-to-door in Portugal.

The World Rally Championship became a battle of Britain in 2001.

Colin McRae. Richard Burns. Both absolute giants of the game, and both had the chance to win it at home.What followed was both memorable and dramatic in equal measure.

Luke Barry joins Dan Mason to discuss Burnsie's delight, Colin's heartache and the tragedy that followed two years on for the UK's new hero and world champion.

PLUS: Co-driver Robert Reid shares his tales on Burnsie and McRae's differing mind games.

"This is BLERKS racing!"

It was a title decider that had everything. A straight fight between two riders, nothing between them, and a red hot one-lap showdown.

The result? Broken commentators, much gasping, and 0.006s deciding it...

Dan Mason and James Charman try to decipher the utterly brilliant Brands showdown between Tommy Hill and John Hopkins in the 2011 BSB season.

Also, the champion himself pops in to share how it changed his life.

"To finish first, first you must finish." Well tell this lot - they didn't not oblige.

90s Indycar was something that made even sliced bread look rubbish, and the race at Elkhart Lake in 1996 had absolutely EVERYTHING.

Dan Mason and Steve Whitfield look back at vintage Zanardi, Al Unser Jr's crushing heartache, and the potential F1 career of Robby Gordon that never was. Boooo!

Oh, and Salazar's involved again...

You know that school reunion where all the famous faces get back together, then instantly make fools of themselves?

Yeah... that, in racing form, arguably happened in a cult classic one-off race in 2004, when Alan Gow sanctioned the BTCC Masters event at Donington alongside its season finale, with some amazing throwback names fighting it out on track as one happy family.

What followed? CHAOS. Dan Mason, Eric Barnes and James Charman discuss all the biffing, their future version of the race, and of course... Patrick Watts.

PLUS: Special guest Anthony Reid actually won the damn thing, so we asked him about it and how he almost raced in DTM.

FEATURING: Special guest Anthony Reid!

It's 1990, and two chicanes have been added to the famous circuit ahead of what would be a Le Mans 24 Hours of attrition...

Jaguar took a 1-2 despite their own gremlins and a controversial driver change, while Nissan made the headlines with a mental pole position lap aided by a turbo that - literally - went 'full Turbo'. And what of poor Mr Salazar?

Oh, and hear how the third-placed driver actually could have been in Michael Schumacher's prime Jordan F1 seat if things had played out!
