So, after 2 years in the dark, we are back, and back for good.
A lot has changed in the past 2 years since we’ve been gone, from failing driving theory tests, to swapping cars and even the odd interest modification here and there (pretty ground-breaking… right?).
New for season 3 is two licensed drivers, instead of just the one that you may have been familiar with in the past, which we both hope will give more credibility to our thoughts and feelings towards the car world in 2025. Also changing for season 3 is the loss of a half time break we used to have as we personally this breaks up the content unnecessarily. You may also notice a change in our podcast’s name, this is now simply read as the “NCS Podcast”, this is just to help make us more accessible and give us a catchier name. On some platforms you may also notice a change in appearance, this is simply just giving us a refresh from the past.
Although there are a few things different from before, a lot will also be returning back to the format you were once familiar with. For example, it is still going to be just the two of us every Friday simply talking cars, with maybe the odd guests here and there. Our running time is still to be confirmed, however it will most likely not feel much more different from what it was previously, and we will still discuss current topics that are relevant to roughly what is happening that week, and we’ll try to keep pre-recorded episodes to a minimum to ensure we are bang up to date.
Otherwise, that is all we have to say. Watch this reintroduction episode to answer different questions that you may never have gotten the answers to.
Cheers!
Hello everyone and welcome to episode twelve of season 2!
We return back to our conventional way of rambling on today!
Today we discuss: our cock-ups from last weeks episode, the new Lamborghini Aventador replacement, Lotus’ shockingly-pretty saloon car, a one year look back on MX-5 ownership, and slagging off governments and large cooperations - back to usual, eh?

Hello everyone and welcome to episode eleven of season two!
In today's episode we continue with our second entry into our new the catalog of episodes, our "The Story Of:" series. In today's entry we discuss the The Story Of: Ayrton Senna. Ayrton was a Brazilian racing driver who competed from 1984 to his tragic death in 1994 at the San Marino Grand Prix, and today we educate those who didn't previously know much about Ayrton, and on the multiple theories regarding Ayrton's passing in '94. Furthermore in this episode we discuss the most recent, at the time of recording, Formula One Grand Prix at the relatively new Jeddah circuit, where Alonso got away with it yet again (this section quite obviously being written by Ethan).
If you're a fan of this new type of episode, or you think of any improvements, let us know down below in the comments and we'll take all feedback into consideration, because your feedback means a lot!

We are back after a little break and better than ever!
In todays episode we take a slightly different turn from what we'd usually do. Essentially we are testing a new story/documentary type episode where we share the lives of some of motorsport's true heroes, even if you aren't a huge motorsport fan, we still aim to educate those who didn't previously know about these true greats, like Jim Clark - who we cover in todays episode.
James Clark [OBE] was and still is considered one of the true greats to grace the sport of not only formula one, but also a multitude of different motorsport categories he took place in. Unfortunately, like many other drivers of his era, Clark's life was cut short on an eerie weekend in April of 1968 at the infamous Hockenheim circuit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. We also cover some general chat like always, today we mention: frozen doors, a strong disliking of Fernando Alonso, and the new Ferrai SUV that isn't an SUV.

In the first part of this weeks episode we discuss: the replacement for the Volkswagen Golf as we know it, the shockingly-pretty Peugoet 408, Ferrari’s seemingly “lack” of confidence in their SF-23 formula one car and, finally, the revolting Tesla Model X Plaid.
Then, in the second part of this weeks episode, we discuss what we think has the potential to be a future classic from the beautiful Alfa Romeo 4C, the overpriced Abarth 124 Spider and the not so brilliant Ford Puma from the early 2000s and many more frankly terrible suggestions.

Hello and welcome to the sixth episode of series one!
In this weeks episode car news has been quite scarce, however, we discuss the one of one Bugatti Chiron Profilee housing the final iteration of the W16 powered Bugatti vehicles, how "easy" it may or may not be to distinguish the different generations of the world famous Porsche 911, and some poorly researched motoring themed Christmas gifts for your loved ones this Christmas all presented whilst wearing our questionable Christmas inspired outfits.
In the second segment of the episode, we give our take on a guide to living with the current generation of the best selling two seater sports car of all time - the Mazda MX-5. Surprisingly however, we discuss why the MX-5 may not always be the perfect inexpensive second car for the weekend, and reveal some secrets that your everyday car reviewers may not notice.

Hello and welcome to our fifth episode of series one!
This week we discuss the recent press drives of the new Honda Civic Type R (and it's outrageous price tag), the newly released 4 cylinder powered Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance, and the completely irrelevant, Audi powered, Donkervoort F22 with an astonishing weight of 750kg. Additionally, in the second segment of this episode, we look back on my racing career starting at just 7 years of age, and my most recent entry into the Jamsport fiesta scholarship. However, as found out later in the episode, this didn't go quite as we'd hoped, and we'll share how and why that was the case. We apologise for any assumptions/accusations we may have made throughout this episode regarding my entry into this scholarship, as ultimately we can't thank Jamsport enough for giving people like me this opportunity at just 16 years of age.
We just thought we should express our thoughts surrounding the event to you all.

Additionally, in the second segment of this episode, we discuss what my first car should really be, with the sensible and not so sensible ideas ranging from the Italian Abarth 500, the Japanese sports car icon that is the Mazda MX-5, and the not so interesting Vauxhall Adam - regardless of how "sensible" it may be.

This includes some legendary cars from over the decades such as the Japanese Icon that is the Honda Civic Type R, the Ford Mustang inspired Ford Capri of the 1980s, the not so legendary Vauxhall Astra of the 1990s, and the best-selling sports car of them all, the Mazda MX-5.
