Show Notes
Sixty years ago, the Canadian-American Challenge Cup kicked off for big banger sportscars that could outpace Formula 1 racers.
The first Can-Am era only lasted from 1966 until 1974, but it produced some of the most dramatic machines to hit a race track. The no-holds-barred ethos encouraged mighty machines and plenty of innovation.

Our celebration of Can-Am continues with a look at the category’s greatest drivers.
Join Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling as they dissect all the action from Round 14 of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship following the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
Kimi Antonelli has pulled off a sensational victory at the Italian Grand Prix, charging all the way from 19th on the grid to lead a Mercedes 1-2 at Monza. But right behind that historic drive, the fallout at Ferrari is dominating the headlines after a nightmare home race for the Scuderia. Kevin Turner and Jake Boxall-Legge get straight into Ferrari's torment in front of the Tifosi, unpacking Charles Leclerc’s race-ending crash at Parabolica and another baffling tyre strategy that left Lewis Hamilton helpless. They also dive into the Mercedes garage to analyse the tyre calls under the Virtual Safety Car, debating whether splitting strategies cost George Russell a win against his flying team-mate. Stuart Codling drops in trackside from the Monza with the local reaction to an Italian winner and the atmosphere inside the paddock, before the guys pick apart McLaren’s reluctance to enforce team orders between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen maximising a solid third for Red Bull, and Pierre Gasly’s shock Saturday pole for Alpine.
