Hannah McKillop’s 2024 season has already reached the lofty heights of the World Rally Championship, as she joined the exclusive list of Co-Drivers to have competed on the legendary Monte Carlo Rally but by no means has Hannah hit her peak, arguably, she’s just hitting her stride. With over 70 rallies under her belt, Hannah’s Motorsport career was born at home in Ireland. Coming home from ballet classes, still wearing her pink tutu, she would have a spanner ready for her, to help her Dad build MK2 Escorts. Since her very first event competing on the Circuit of Ireland, Hannah has won championships, rallied across the globe in America, Spain, Mexico and Austria to highlight a few. Listen up to Hannah’s recap on the Monty and all things Co-Driver. (Do forgive a few giggles as she is a very good mate! )

From end of stage for WRC Promotor, commentator for Daytona 24 hour and World Endurance events, Esports, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, Motorbike Racing at Knockhill Circuit and hosting Live Radio - Pete has done it all!
He’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve met on my motorsport travels and we’ve had some good times on event. I think his story is inspiring and we love talking all things motorsport.

"Living life on 2 & 4 wheels" is Chloe's bio on her social media and it's true that Chloe's life is Motorsport through and through. But, what stood out for me in her interview was her fantastic attitude of "why not" and she's up for giving anything in Motorsport a try. Chloe works for MSUK, competes and thrives in a Motorsport environment and enjoys being herself in it. Listen up and enjoy! x

Nicky Grist is a Welsh former rally co-driver. His factory team career in the World Rally Championship lasted from 1993 to 2002. He won 21 rallies with a number of drivers including Colin McRae. Grist's first WRC win was in the Rally Argentina in 1993 with Juha Kankkunen, who at that time was a three times WRC champion.
The audio was taken from my interview with Nicky for the BBC feature on how Wales Rally GB has been affected by Covid 19. We discuss this topic, about the near miss of the title for Elfyn Evans, women in Motorsport (sorry I do get a date wrong!) and we discuss what needs to be done in Rallying!

"Believe in yourself and fight". That is what Louise Aitken-Walker did and she conquered. Louise was the first woman to win a National Rally outright, survived a horrific crash in Portugal and became the first, ever British driver to win a world title – FIA Ladies World Rally Champion.

Racing from the age of 11, Laura has moved up through the ranks and has competed in every major championship in karting. Laura is the first British female driver to ever qualify and compete in the official FIA World Karting Championships at the highest level, and with this and many other great achievements Laura was picked up by two major karting manufacturers to become one of very few drivers to be chosen as a supported works driver.
It was a real pleasure interviewing Laura and we were very much on the same page for a lot of things. Enjoy listening.
@jadepaveleymotorsport
Former Racing driver turned presenter, Mike Chen, shares his story of how it all happened.

Jonathan was a real delight to speak to. You would be very hard pushed to find anyone else who knows their stuff more than Jonathan. A brilliant episode with so many hidden gems and a great way to start off series 2!
Enjoy.

PR. Essential in today's fast paced world where everyone is accessible. It takes a unique person to tackle this role in Motorsport and from first hand experience, I know there is no one better person in this field than Emma Bearpark. Her vast experience includes working in the World Endurance Championship, Formula 1, Formula E. Emma has worked personally for Jenson Button; she has been an integral part of the (then) Super Aguri F1 team and has also worked with Brendon Hartley, Alexander Rossi and Takuma Sato. Listen to a side of Motorsport you may not know much about. We talk about "keeping discreet and professional", the challenges of the role, advice in how to get there and how there is so much "passion behind whole family (in Motorsport) they become an extension of your own". Enjoy!
@jadepaveleymotorsport
Michelle worked hard and followed her dreams. From working as a grid girl to becoming a stunt driver, Michelle made her own path in Motorsport and in this interview she emphasises the importance of networking and promoting yourself the right way on social media. She was a pleasure to talk to and I am sure you'll find her story and experiences very interesting!
@jadepaveleymotorsport
An insight into the world of F1 through the eyes of one of the top brains of the operation. Paul, who is extremely down to earth, shares his amazing experiences - from the day he walked into McLaren F1 to winning championships and learning to speak the drivers "language". In the past, he's had chairs thrown at him (by a certain Spaniard) but with his calm and methodical approach, you can easily see how teams he has been a key part of have won not only races but world championships.
Enjoy!

Working with his Dad on a Peugeot Rally car in the garage and helping out on events at just 8 years old is where it started for Phil. He made his own luck, seized opportunities that took him to 25 WRC events spread across every continent and there is still more to come. This interview gets really in depth about what it's like to be a Co-Driver in detail - from pens running out mid stage, to ending up upside down in snow banks, Phil tells us all. Enjoy! (He never took a half used pen into a stage again!)

His story started as a young boy in a remote town in Mid Wales, skidding around in whatever he could get he hands on. He grew up to be a professional Rally Champion and drove for multiple manufacturers. He is now coaching his son - Elfyn Evans - who followed in his footsteps competing at the top level in WRC. A truly likeable gentleman (although be warned some words used may not be suitable for young ears!) who was very generous in giving me so much time and the opportunity to interview him. You will enjoy.

Karun Chandhok - where do we start? Formula E, GP2, Le Mans and of course Formula 1 driver. I am really lucky to have interviewed such a staple of the racing scene. Everyone in the F1 paddock knows Karun and his opinion is valued by many in motorsport. So, Enjoy!
A fun and interesting interview, which contains some really useful commentary for up and coming drivers. Rhys really loves the sport and has risen quickly through the ranks in Rallying and is well known for his fun personality and driving style.

Jade Paveley interviews Tom Williams, the up and coming Rally driver, and questions how his day to day is going with no Rallying! Apart from reluctantly admitting that he has been munching threw every biscuit in the house, Richard Burns' Godson Tom, has some extremely valid points and observations to make not just about his own Motorsport path but about the sport as a whole.
Check out episode 2 of the Motorsport Now podcast hosted by Jade Paveley. Jade catches up will fellow former Motorsport UK Academy student Sarah Moore to not only see what she has been doing with no Motor Racing (loads of fitness and some Guinness included) but how her career started and progressed.
