Join me as I interview two incredibly talented young women who happen to be the drivers of the #26 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage in the GT4 SRO series! Hannah Grisham and Rianna O'Meara-Hunt are two wonderful drivers and it was a real honor to get some of their time to dive into their story.
They were part of a driver search that included over 100 applicants and ended in a 9-driver shootout. Hannah and Rianna were the two selected and it's a terrific story of how they became race car drivers. I think you'll enjoy hearing from Hannah and Rianna about their journey into racing and what it's like to drive a GT4 car as well as work with Paul Charsley. :)

In the early 1940’s, the British government made a big decision. A decision that would find a young man named George flying at night, by moonlight, to engage in clandestine operations by landing in fields in France. Geroge was a Moon Squadron pilot.
Tony was a Spitfire flying ace and he too joined the battle over Europe but like George, he loved racing cars. The two of them would be intertwined by fate, history and a love of racing. So much so that they would be instrumental in creating something spectacular that continues to this very day.
Join Grace, Paul and me as we discuss the reverse grid idea, who is against it and who is for it, Bottas, Monza, Brazil and much more.

Damon rarely spoke well of Michael and as time marched on, media, press coverage and stories in books claimed that one of the great rivalries in Formula 1 was between Hill and Schumacher.
As we take a second glance, this wasn’t the case at all. Schumacher wasn’t Damon’s biggest rival.
