Hello all,
'Midweek Motorsport' is back with the full squad this week and arguably, the greatest guest/presenting line up in show history!
Okay we have had bigger guests that Martin Haven but none deliver quite the value for money that MH does and I for one cannot wait to get his take on the first two rounds of the FIA Formula 2 Series. I will be butting in constantly to remind everyone that no matter how good F2 is now, it will NEVER be the F2 that we knew and loved in the late seventies and early eighties. Unless you were born in the eighties then you simply don't know what you were missing. Take for example this footage below. The BMW M12 F2 engine has been around since 1969 and has anything ever sounded better? I admire the guts of the chap sitting in the chassis. By 1982, Formula 2 was not only the best sounding Formula in the World but the chassis were simply gorgeous, particularly the examples from Maurer. Anyway, I digress, no doubt I will bore everyone with more of this on tonight's show.
Allan McNish is the star of the show this week and he will be answering many of the questions that were submitted via the facebook group.
Oliver Gavin will be dropping in to chat about Le Mans and other stuff.
We have reached half way in the 'Race for the Chase for the Cup for the Thing' so the 'Sound of the swinging cymbal' will be making it's seasonal debut, not 'alf!
There will be a quick look at the IndyCar and Indy Lights races from the weekend.
There will be lots of other stuff including a full look at the 'who is in and who is out' nonsense of the 2010 F1 season. From what I can gather Arturo Merzario (including cowboy hat), Hector Rebaque, EuroBrun and Lec are all coming back!
We will also have news of some great new sponsors and exciting new ways to listen for our US contingent (unless you already stick a glass up to the wall of the people next door).
It's all on at the usual time and place. 8pm UK, 9pm CET, 3pm EST, 12pm PT & 9am in Hawaii.
Go to www.radiolemans.com and click 'listen live' or catch us on the podcast which will be availble soon after the show has aired or get us on iTunes.

Not having Dyno'd a race car before, I don't know all the tricks. It does seem odd though to tie down the front wheels, IN FRONT of the car. Neither those ropes nor the blower are going to do too much to slow that car down for 30 ft or so (when the ropes are finally back under tension.)
