It’s F1 season in Singapore. As the big-league Ferraris and Red Bulls speed past the Marina Bay skyline, we zoom in on the overlooked world of small league motorsport racing.
From grassroots car park rallies in the 80s to Hong Kong superstars and the mega-rich who pay millions to live their childhood racing dreams, we hear the untold stories of motorsport racing.
And we ask the hard-hitting questions, like is it true that most racing teams don’t make money? And why does Sergio Perez still have a job?
Welcome to the debut episode of our newest podcast, TransportBT, where BT correspondent Derryn Wong takes you through the business of moving things around.
To kick things off, Derryn sits down with team manager of Toro Racing and Singapore’s own racing legend Ringo Chong to give you the insider’s take on the business of speed.
