At the second annual Willow Springs Reimagined we sit down with Marino Franchitti (pro driver and Singer's head development driver) to talk about what makes for a good (and bad) test driver, and racing the oddly-shaped Delta Wing (look it up). Then, the Duke of Richmond Charles Gordon-Lennox. He literally created two of the best events in the world of cars: Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. The Duke is joining the forces of Willow Springs to bring the Goodwood magic to the USA. We cover a lot of ground, from the surprising story of how the original GW came to be, the plans for Willow and a larger vintage series in America. All that and more.

When we think of our roads we tend to think of the tarmac or bridges but not what's next to them: guardrails. We hope to never meet one but Steve Eimers knows more about them than he ever wanted to. After his daughter passed away in a car accident he learned the culprit was a guardrail that was banned but hadn't yet been uninstalled yet. Ever since he has traveled the U.S. inspecting our roads and speaking with politicians about how to improve safety and save lives.
