The Intercooler

Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing and mastermind behind their impressive turnaround in Formula 1, shares insights from the team's journey from lowly competitors to championship contenders. He discusses the narrow margin by which they almost lost the title and predicts a bright future for drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in 2025. Brown also touches on the positive impact of cost caps on team competitiveness, and the vital role of communication and teamwork in managing driver dynamics within the high-pressure racing environment.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the latest version of the Porsche 911 GT3, which Dan has driven on road and track in Spain. Though this latest model is as brilliant to drive as ever, it's been developed against a very different backdrop to earlier versions. In fact, might this be the last 911 GT3 as we know it...? Dan and Andrew also discuss the rapidly growing appreciation for modern classic cars from the 1980s and 1990s.Use coupon code pod15 at checkout to get 15% off a subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine!

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by professional racing driver Darren Turner. A three-time Le Mans class winner with Aston Martin, Darren recently broke the production car lap record at Silverstone in a Valkyrie hypercar, lowering the bar by 10 whole seconds. Darren explains how the attempt compared to a GT3 qualifying lap, reveals how much quicker the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro would be and talks about F1 star Nico Hulkenberg's remarkable day in that car. Darren also reflects on a long and very successful professional racing career that probably should never have happened.Use coupon code pod15 at checkout to get 15% off a subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine!

In this episode Mark reveals where the value is in the used 911 market right now, which models he thinks will perform strongly in the coming years, how Porsche oversupplied 992 Turbos and what the effect on values was, and why GT3 and GT3 RS variants no longer command such high premiums on the used market.Use coupon code pod15 at checkout to get 15% off a subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine!
