The Intercooler

Lots of you were kind enough to tell us your enjoyed our first 'technically speaking' episode, so we thought we'd record another. This time we talk about MacPherson struts, double wishbones, torsion beams and more. What is the best suspension layout? Andrew also reviews one of the most exciting new cars of the year, the rally-bred Toyota GR Yaris. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.

These are the cars we really shouldn't like but do, as well as a few that we supposedly should like but don't. In this episode Andrew explains why he adores the terrible Renault Clio V6 but dislikes the brilliant Nissan GT-R, while Dan professes his love for the Volkswagen Passat. We hope you enjoy listening.

Britain has a rich heritage in designing and manufacturing lightweight, low-volume sports cars. Many more such makers have come and gone than are still around today, proving how difficult the business can be. But in the likes of Caterham, Morgan and Ariel, there are successful and sustainable companies building some of the world's most rewarding and engaging performance cars. As well as celebrating those, we also discuss the latest hypercar news including the Bugatti Bolide and SSC Tuatara. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.

We're poor car mechanics and even worse engineers, but between us we have a reasonable understanding of why cars drive the way they do and what difference individual components can make. We talk about limited-slip differentials, carbon ceramic brakes, active anti-roll bars and much more besides. Do these things really make your car better to drive? We also make time to talk about Lewis Hamilton's record-breaking 92nd Grand Prix win. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.

From the Miura to the Countach and the Diablo, several Lamborghini models are among the most iconic cars of their type. But how many of them have been truly great supercars? In this episode of the podcast, we get stuck into that basic paradox at the heart of Lamborghini. There's also time to discuss the new and slightly disappointing VW Golf GTI, plus the return of a British Formula 1 icon. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.

Great racing circuits like Spa-Francorchamps, the Nurburgring Nordschleife and Silverstone all have one thing in common – a wonderful sense of flow. That's what makes them so brilliant to drive. In this episode of the podcast we explore that further and also consider what characteristics make a circuit good or bad from the point of view of spectators. We also discuss trackdays and how to get started in them, while Andrew describes driving Porsche's 911 RSR-19 Le Mans car. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.

As Honda announces plans to leave Formula 1 as an engine supplier, we reflect on the company's failures and successes in racing, plus its unique approach to engineering. We also talk about its best road-going performance cars like the NSX-R and Andrew tells the story of the time he was driven around Silverstone in a standard NSX by none other than Ayrton Senna.

We've both been driving the new McLaren 765LT at Silverstone. We start by talking about electric cars, what their limitations are and what an electric sports car might be like, then get stuck into the most hardcore Longtail McLaren yet.

We've all played the dream five car garage game – in this episode of the podcast, Dan and Andrew do exactly that, albeit with a twist. There's a 1920s British bruiser, a couple of historic racing cars, far too many Porsche 911s and way too much cheating. This episode also features a very quick 24 Hours of Le Mans debrief and some inane chat about dog names. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.
