At last, the JEC Podcast returns and we are back in fine style with part one of an exciting interview that investigates the background and lives of the two drivers who took Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in 1953, Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton.We investigate the fascinating and heroic lives of these Jaguar icons with their descendants, as Wayne talks to Stuart Rolt (Major Tony Rolt's son), Caroline Lee (Duncan Hamilton's daughter) and Dominic Hamilton (Duncan Hamilton's grandson). We also take the opportunity to explore the myths surrounding the lead-up to the 1953 Le Mans. Did Rolt and Hamilton really head down to a bar to drown their sorrows and end up having to sober up and jump straight in the cars? Or was it all just an elaborate story to sell more copies of Duncan Hamilton's Biography, Touch Wood? The answer is within this podcast!

Pioneering renewable fuel specialist, Coryton, recently launched the UK's first publicly available sustainable fuel. It is a fuel that could secure the future of the classic vehicle movement and historic motorsport. The SUSTAIN Classic range allows regular combustion engines in our Jaguars to be fuelled by environmentally friendly, plant-based petrol without the need for any engine modifications. Now available from launch partner, Motor Spirit at Bicester Heritage, with more stockists to follow, there are already classic cars on our roads using the fuel and a number of rallies and motorsport events have also utilised the fuel. In this podcast, we speak to Andrew Willson, CEO of Coryton and Business Development Director David Richardson about their vision of the future, the details behind how the fuel is made and how it might be scaled up for future use. There is a lot of optimism, realism and innovation in this podcast - so we hope you enjoy the insights it offers!
