Nigel Mansell’s Formula 1 world championship-winning Williams FW14B is currently on display next to the Lola the British legend used to win the 1993 CART title in a special exhibition at Silverstone.
Thanks to a multi-million-dollar refurbishment at the Indianapolis Motorsport Speedway Museum, the Silverstone Museum currently has four special cars over from America.
The Indy 500: A British Success Story exhibition includes Mansell’s Lola T93/00, the Coyote in which US great AJ Foyt won when Indycar visited Silverstone (and broke F1 records) in the 1970s, a gas turbine-powered Lotus 56 from 1968 and the Bentley that contested the 1922 Indy 500.
In this special podcast from the Silverstone Museum, host Kevin Turner is joined by author/historian Ian Wagstaff and the museum’s head of collections and research Steph Sykes-Dugmore to reveal the stories behind these special machines and Britain's role in America's greatest race.
Mansell’s famous conquering of Indycar, the year after he claimed the F1 crown, features, as does the championship’s visit to Britain in 1978.
Plus, the trio asks why that experiment wasn’t a success and whether a return of IndyCar to the UK could prove more popular today.

It was another all-time classic race in Indiana as the 108th running of the Indy 500 led to a final lap showdown between arguably the two best oval drivers in the world, as Josef Newgarden and Pato O’Ward left it all on the line, with Newgarden taking victory and becoming the first man to go back-to-back at the 500 since Helio Castroneves in 2002!
Joey Barnes joins Steph Wentworth on the Autosport to discuss the wonderful fight for the win between Newgarden and O’Ward and breakdown how O’Ward used strategy and aggression to get back through the field, and the conflicting emotions between the two drivers.
Also on the show, a deep dive into the race’s high-level of attrition, with just 21 cars out of 33 finishing on the lead lap, and how the four-hour rain delay and the possibility of a race that had less than the alloted 200 laps caused the drivers to be even more aggressive than usual.
There’s also a chat about Kyle Larson who finished 18th in his first ever Indy 500 as he attempted the famous double with NASCAR’s Coke 600, how the rain delays both in Indiana and North Carolina scuppered his chances, and whether he or Ed Carpenter Racing’s Christian Rasmussen should win Rookie of the Year honours.

With James Vowles's appointment at the start of 2023, Williams has been placed in a rebuilding phase, to return to the front end of the field.

Alex Albon also made the news during the weekend for signing a new long-term contract at Williams which could keep the Thai driver in Grove until the end of 2027. Is his signing proof of “The Vowles effect”, or a lack of top team interest?
There’s also chat about the state of the F1 Calendar, as Thailand’s Prime Minster Srettha Thavisin was in attendance to push for a Grand Prix for 2027 or 2028. Could it mean more European rounds are sacrificed as the sport admits it's making a push for more racing in Asia?

It was a surprise win for the Porsche customers Jota Sport as they took victory in the World Endurance Championship's Six Hours of Spa... depending on your definition of the term "Six Hours"! With Earl Bamber having a huge wreck on the Kemmel Straight with just under two hours to go, a lengthy red flag was needed to fix the armcoe barrier, and with it, the stewards took the discretion to reset the clock back to the time of the Red Flag. But was this ultimately the "right" move?

The pair also discuss the changes made at Ferrari, with Loic Serra and Jerome D'Ambrosio confirmed to be joining the Maranello factory in October, with the latter taking up a new role as deputy team principal. What sort of role will they play in red, and should there be concern for Charles given his well documented frosty relationship with previous engineer Xavi Marcos?
