  Episode 169 - F1 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

  Sep 27, 20261h 2m

  Summary Teeks breaks down the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, from George Russell’s dominant pole and narrow victory to Isack Hadjar’s standout podium after missing three races. The episode also covers major F1 news, including Jamie Chadwick’s Williams test, Red Bull’s 2027 driver plans, Cadillac’s engineering hires, upcoming power-unit regulations, and the expanded 2027 calendar. In this episode: George Russell takes pole by 0.83 seconds and converts it into his eighth career Grand Prix victory. Isack Hadjar outqualifies Max Verstappen and finishes third after returning from a three-race absence. A late-race safety-car sequence transforms a mostly quiet race, with Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, and Lando Norris all eliminated in one incident. Kimi Antonelli recovers from a qualifying crash and a P16 start to finish fifth. Williams’ approximately 30-kilogram weight reduction helps Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon fight near the points. Jamie Chadwick completes 32 laps in a Williams FW47 at Portimão, becoming the first woman to drive for Williams since Susie Wolff in 2015. Red Bull confirms a long-term deal for Hadjar, including an option securing him for 2027 alongside Verstappen. Cadillac recruits Craig Skinner, Erica Blandin, and Tim Lean to accelerate its technical development. Proposed future engine rules include a turbocharged 3.0-liter V8, a simplified 100-kilowatt electric motor, and a target of reducing power-unit weight by 50 kilograms. The 2027 calendar expands to 24 races and 10 sprint weekends, including Monaco’s first sprint event.

  Episode 167 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 2

  Sep 22, 20261h 51m

  Summary Teeks and Riri return for the second round of their £10,000 used-car challenge, comparing the best-value and fastest petrol and hybrid cars across multiple body styles. They also investigate alternative fuels, surprisingly high-mileage listings, and whether buying used makes more sense as new-car prices continue to rise. In this episode: Teeks wins the challenge 53-42 after comparing hatchbacks, saloons, estates, coupés, SUVs, convertibles, and MPVs. Petrol hatchback highlights include Teeks' 2017 Volkswagen Polo GTI, while Riri considers a Mercedes A-Class, SEAT Leon, Volvo V40, and Citroën C3. Performance picks include a Volkswagen Scirocco R, Audi S6 Avant with a 5.2-litre V10, Audi S5 V8, and several high-mileage performance cars that would be risky to own. The pair debate what counts as a sensible estate, comparing a 2014 Skoda Superb with newer Ford Focus and Fiat Tipo estates. A Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid becomes the surprise performance winner in the hybrid SUV category. Hybrid highlights include the Suzuki Swift, Toyota Prius, BMW i3 Range Extender, BMW 535i Active Hybrid, and Toyota Prius V. Riri explains why hybrid convertibles are almost impossible to find under £10,000 in the UK. Alternative-fuel cars, biofuels, ethanol, LPG, and chip-fat conversions are discussed, with both hosts noting how difficult these cars are to find and insure. The highest-mileage listings include a 2018 Dacia Duster with 801,000 miles, a 2016 Audi A3 with 770,000 miles, and a 1965 Morris Minor showing 640,000 miles. The challenge reinforces the value of the used market, especially as the average new-car price reached roughly £34,000 compared with £18,000 a decade earlier. Timestamps 01:07 - Petrol hatchbacks: best value under budget 05:33 - Volkswagen Polo GTI wins the first round 07:01 - Fast petrol hatchbacks and the Scirocco R 12:31 - Petrol saloons: Lexus versus Toyota Avensis 16:56 - The dangers of buying a damaged Mercedes C63 AMG 19:20 - Maserati Quattroporte and high-mileage performance bargains 22:31 - Finding a sensible petrol estate 25:10 - Skoda Superb versus newer Ford Focus estate 30:54 - The Audi S6 V10 estate surprise 35:14 - What actually qualifies as a sensible coupé? 39:23 - Audi TT wins the petrol coupé value round 42:06 - Audi S5 V8 versus BMW 645 performance battle 45:54 - Sensible SUVs and the Suzuki Grand Vitara 50:23 - The Infiniti FX as a potential SUV sleeper 54:47 - Petrol convertibles: why the Mazda MX-5 makes sense 60:12 - Jaguar XKR versus Mercedes SLK performance 61:39 - MPVs and the problem of finding a fast one 66:16 - BMW 2 Series Active Tourer wins despite being unpopular 67:16 - The hybrid categories begin 69:43 - Suzuki Swift beats Toyota Yaris for hybrid value 73:44 - BMW i3 Range Extender wins the hybrid hatchback performance round 75:32 - Toyota Prius versus Ford Mondeo hybrid 78:11 - BMW 535i Active Hybrid beats the Mercedes E300 80:09 - Hybrid estates are becoming harder to find 88:11 - Hyundai Bayon versus Suzuki Vitara 90:09 - The £10,000 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid discovery 92:13 - Hybrid convertibles are almost nonexistent 94:00 - Hybrid MPVs and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 96:40 - Why alternative-fuel cars are rare in the UK 98:24 - Searching for the highest-mileage used car 100:17 - Cars with 800,000-mile odometers 102:36 - Rising new-car prices and the case for buying used 106:00 - Why hybrid ownership can offer the best of both worlds Important information If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.

  Episode 166 - Mid September Car News 2026

  Sep 18, 20261h 44m

  Summary Teeks and Riri return to cover a packed month of car news, from the £154,000 Range Rover Electric and Genesis GV90 to Tesla’s controversial Cybercab. They also examine shifting sales figures, Chinese automakers expanding overseas, job cuts at major manufacturers, Ford’s partnership with Geely, and a series of alarming recalls. Topics Range Rover Electric: The £154,000 luxury EV delivers 372 miles of range, 542 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a 120 kWh battery, but weighs nearly three tons. Dacia Spring update: The affordable electric city car gains more power, improved safety, and 140 miles of range, with prices starting around £11,000. Aeon UT’s “Great Eight Promise”: The electric hatchback includes eight years of warranty, servicing, roadside assistance, and MOTs, alongside a £28,950 price and a potentially cheaper monthly finance deal. Tesla Cybercab concerns: The driverless vehicle has no steering wheel or pedals, cannot be manually controlled, and reportedly kept one passenger in the car after identifying an old parking-related warrant. Mercedes Mythos CLE: The limited-run V8 coupe produces 646 horsepower, but Teeks and Riri question why it is not a Black Series model and argue that its performance does not justify its exclusivity. Jensen Interceptor revival: The new GTX uses a supercharged 6.8-litre V8 producing roughly 900 horsepower, while GT, GTR, and GTX versions are planned. Market trends: UK car registrations rose 14% in August, battery-electric sales increased 30%, while China’s domestic sales fell 23.7% even as exports rose by almost 80%. Industry pressure: Volkswagen is targeting up to 50,000 management redundancies, Jaguar Land Rover plans to cut 4,000 jobs, and Honda is seeking nearly $10 billion in savings. Recalls: Ford recalls almost 400,000 vehicles over fuel tanks and power-loss problems, Lucid recalls 27,000 Air sedans for lighting issues, and Kia EV9 airbags may disable themselves.
