We also chatted with Ray Grimes, a renowned motorsport figure, discussing his career highlights and the future of the sport. Additionally, we have the privilege of speaking with the Iron Dames team members, who are breaking barriers and making a significant impact in the motorsport community.

But that's not all – we also provide the inside scoop on upcoming events and special Q&A sessions at the beloved Bridge House Tea Rooms, the North West's premier classic car meeting spot.
