The July episode of Historic Racing news features a couple of programs we produced for Radio Le Mans for race week 2025. They were a huge success and we thought you might like to hear the best bits before we finally put Le Mans 2025 to bed. Derek Warwick talks to Paul Tarsey about his five participations at Le Mans, and we have tales from Mark Raffauf, long-time chum of Jim Roller, and boss of IMSA for many years, BP Motorsport supremo Les Thacker about getting arrested in the Le Mans paddock and Kevin Jeannette about the dubious, and not so dubious, goings on in 1979! Norbert Singer talks about some of the twists and turns which led to the ‘Dauer Porsche 962’ and journalist Graham Tyler re-lives some Le Mans thoughts. We also hear from Mark Tarsey just how basic the spectator experience was nearly half a century ago! This time Paul Jurd is your host.
