TEAM BRIT TALKS PODCAST

TALKS

Podcasts have become a fantastic way to learn more about our favourite topics, celebrities and sports, which is why we’ve launched our very own!

Offering another way to get to know our drivers, crew, supporters and friends, our podcast, Team BRIT Talks, is available now on our website and major streaming platforms.

The first few episodes have set the tone through a range of fun and fascinating interviews, including with drivers Matty Street and Bobby Trundley, who featured as part of Autism Awareness Week, 29th March to 4th April 2021. Both of their episodes highlight the challenges they’ve overcome and the successes they’ve had in their lives, both on and off the track.

In another episode for Autism Awareness Week, we interviewed Jackie Trundley, our GT4 driver Bobby’s Mum, and Tony Ballesteros, Dad to Sandro, a member of eTeam BRIT, our SIM racing arm. They discussed their experiences as parents of children with the condition and how their sons have flourished given the chance through racing to follow their dreams. This episode underlines Team BRIT’s vision to support, inspire and motivate people facing physical and psychological challenges by demonstrating what can be achieved through motorsport, a vision that has certainly come to life for both Bobby and Sandro. The psychological impacts of a disability are just as impactful as those that are physical and an episode on motorsport and mental health shares more about this through an insightful interview with BMW driver Andrew Tucker who lives with PTSD following a motorbike crash.

And for newcomers to Team BRIT, there is an episode featuring Dave Player who founded the team in 2015. It tells the fascinating and inspiring story of Dave’s life and how a spinal injury sustained in 1991 led to him working with international sporting events, and to the founding of his charity KartForce, from which Team BRIT was born.

With guests including Disability Motorsport Founder Colin Duthie and Britain’s disability motorsport pioneer, David Butler MBE, Team BRIT Talks is your chance to find out about the fascinating world of accessibility in racing.
