Accelerating Progress: Insights from the 116 Trophy Special with Mark Bate Pt. 2

It's me, Mark Stone and this episode of the Back Seat Driver Podcast I'm back with the second part of the 116 Trophy Special with my guest Mark Bate who returns to discuss how slower drivers are getting quicker and the importance of getting the most out of the car.

We talk about the excitement of racing and how the driving standards and car quality impact the race. They also discuss the importance of pit stops, driver fatigue, and the nature of racing with occasional mistakes and minor collisions.
