16th November 1892: The Day That Racing Found Its Legend
Manage episode 519834388 series 3670475
In today’s episode, we celebrate the birth of one of motorsport’s greatest icons, Tazio Nuvolari, whose ferocity, fearlessness, and mythical achievements shaped the very idea of a racing legend. We then leap forward to the modern era to explore the rise — and eventual fall — of Christian Horner, charting his journey from young team boss to architect of Red Bull’s Formula 1 empire.
We also mark the birthday of Graham Beveridge, the marshal tragically killed during the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, and reflect on the vital, often unseen contribution that marshals make to the safety and success of every race weekend.
Finally, we revisit the 1980 Australian Grand Prix at Calder Park, a small but significant event that featured two Formula 1 cars, international stars like Alan Jones, Bruno Giacomelli, and Didier Pironi, and helped keep the AGP thriving in the years before its World Championship era.
A journey across eras — from pre-war giants to modern powerbrokers, from the heroes in the cockpit to those standing trackside.
