The Intercooler

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by RML's Michael Mallock. If you're a race team or an automotive OEM with a problem, maybe you can hire RML... if you can find them. The Northamptonshire engineering powerhouse has run high-profile motorsport campaigns in touring cars and endurance racing for decades, built extraordinary one-offs for car makers and helped behind the scenes to solve their trickiest problems too. Nowadays, RML is also producing its own vehicles for customers , such as the Short Wheelbase, a Ferrari 250 GT SWB homage, and the P39, a track-focused version of the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Michael explains what RML does, how the company got started in the 1980s, and what he sees coming around the corner.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel reflect on a madcap British Grand Prix that saw heavy rain, multiple safety car interruptions, spins and crashes galore and one surprise podium finisher. They also discuss the first half of the 2025 F1 season and wonder what the second half has in store. Later on they talk about the surprise news that Luca di Montezemolo, once considered a Ferrari lifer, is to join McLaren's road car division in an advisory role, plus trouble at Lotus and the very special car Andrew has been driving.  Use coupon code pod20 at checkout to get 20% off an annual subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine for the first year!

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel tell the story of Bentley, from its founding by WO Bentley more than a century ago to the present day. They discuss the early racing glories at Le Mans, the road cars that followed, the seemingly endless financial woes, the merger with and eventual split from Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen's takeover, the current model range and the cars that are coming down the pike. Bentley is very profitable today, but much less so than it was. Can that be fixed?
