Featuring: Gareth Jones, and Richard Porter.
#030 The Le Mans 24 hours. We were there in the rain. GJOS reports
on the 75th running of the world’s greatest motor race,
the results, the vibe, and the events around the circuit that
no one else tells you about. A tribute to John Hindhaugh and
Radio Le Mans, a special appearance by God, or is that Sniff
Petrol? And for the first time ever we publish the lyrics to;
and perform "The Audi National Anthem."
