Back On Stage for Race Retro 2026!

After Race Retro's fantastic return in 2025, off the back of "the 2024 cancellation" I'm buzzing to let the news out that I'll be the Talk Motorsport Stage Host again for this year.

It was an amazing experience the first two times and I'm hugely grateful to Andrea, her team and LoudSpeaker Agency for having me back to speak to some of motorsport's most brilliant people. Last year I had the pleasure of being joined by Anthony Davidson, Nicky Grist, Jason Plato, Matt Neal and Don Wales to name a few!

Jason Plato entertains Matt Neal, the audience and I, recalling their fight at Rockingham.

This year is looking to be just as great with names such as Alex Brundle, Tom Ingram, Nicky Grist, Liam Doran and Barry Lee forming the tip of the iceberg! We'll be in the same hall as 2025 by the look of it, so it'd be great to see some familiar faces in the audience if we can pry your attention away from the mouth-watering selection of cars next door in the Iconic Auctioneers Hall!

It's one of those events that causes me to pinch myself - I'm the person entrusted with speaking to these absolute legends one-on-one in front of a crowd - how cool is that?!

Anthony Davidson and I had lots of fun, discussing prototypes and broadcasting.

What's even better is that the team and everyone involved are a joy to work with year-on-year so it feels like spending a weekend with your mates having a laugh, while getting some golden nuggets from our guests in the form of information and stories.

Head over the Race Retro website and take a look at tickets - it's a great, feel-good event that showcases some of the best and sometimes most underappreciated angles of motorsport. I know I'm biased, but I'd definitely recommend it.

Hope to see you there and if you do go, I hope you enjoy the interviews that will ensue.
