Podcast 114 - The Goodwood Festival of Sauce

Jonny and Richard are at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed where they've encountered Nigel Mansell, tried to gatecrash Gordon Murray, met a sweary Le Mans driver, seen a tiny record attempt car, run up the Duke of Richmond's driveway, slept in a young offenders' institution, and had a terrible incident with hoisin sauce.

Just got back from a nights stay at The Goodwood Hotel with my other half, somewhat relieved when we found we didn't have a room in the stable block. They said at reception it's all drivers during the FoS so guess nothing personal. On arrival a guy in a Nissan Leaf decided to drive out the entrance and force me to back up, then called me the C-word when I politely tried to explain it wasn't the exit - does that mean electric cars are truly mainstream now?

Bloody hell how much chuffing random naughtiness did you two get up to? Fantastic episode😂😂😂

Das Herbert

People I can't remember the best email to send stuff to? Is it hello@smithand sniff.com? Thanks.

George Wade

It was the 2003 race, won by Montoya. I like to imagine Trulli was able to win the following year because he was NOT distracted by having to talk about his favourite supermarket. Richard

Smith and Sniff

Or even the lesser known "Late Flake Show" where Jonny goes around interviewing elderly people about their dandruff problems.

João Ferreira

Well, look guys. Listen. I know it is just a tiny little bit off-topic but, have you ever heard about the "Wake Late Show" a show where Jonny sleeps through his alarms and arrives late for a shoot?

João Ferreira

If it was the 2004 Monaco GP, that was the one and only race Jarno won! Maybe discussing his shopping and cooking habits was exactly the prep he needed :)

Paul Sharp

Got a great kick from the Jarno Trulli interview story. Saw something similar at Autosport Show a few years back. Myself and the mate blagged media passes & were absolutely pushing the acceptance limit of the Tea & Biscuit. When a nice lady asked us to hop up from the Sofa, we thought the gig was up. Alas, who walked in but the complete Toyota WRC Team. Stumped, and a bit fanboyish, it turned to be one of the 'Open Chat' session seasoned journalists knew all about as they swarmed, armed with notebooks and recorders. 'How is the new car?', 'How are you looking forward to the season?', all the usual stick and the drivers looked disinterested. Cue the buddy, Maurice, hopping in next to Jari Matti Latvala. A tense start, the eye rolling was set for more banal nonsense. Maurice started with 'Ah, Jari Matti, I see your nearly finish the build on your ST165 Celica'. Eyes wide, the Finn sprang to life and spent the next 10 minutes chatting Group A, Turbofans, Side-Exit Exhausts and then we read 10 articles that night on how he thought the new soft tyre would work on Gravel. A similar attempt with Thierry Neuville fell a bit flat, and we found a spot to sit on the floor and went back to pilfering Biscuits and refreshments.

Cian Donnellan

Thanks Smith & Sniff. I know now how to pronouce the maker of the TAV after reading about the example in the Blackhawk collection circa 1985, only taken 37 years.

Daniel Smith

Have they named it the Saabmarine?

Spartacus Mills

Same here, I've stopped drinking anything while listening to the pod as there's always a massive risk of me bursting into laughter and spitting the drink all over the place.

Chris Squirrel

Don't worry about getting it wrong Richard - Autosport have managed to call it the McMurty on two occasions in their article: https://www.autosport.com/goodwood-festival-of-speed/news/max-chilton-breaks-goodwood-hillclimb-record-in-mcmurtry-automotive-speirling/10328861/

Duncan Dyer

1 sentence in and I knew this was recorded the morning after. You can hear Richard is over fueling and Jonny starts with too much choke but sorts it out.

James Taylor

My schoolboy French tells me that flèche d'or translates as gold arrow. There a gold arrow / flesh door innuendo in there that I’m working hard not to make.

Ian Phillip

Was on the straight Pimm's last night though bottled it when my teeth started fizzing and went for a fizzy water mixer.

Maurice Barnes

I've tried listening on a Sunday, but I just can't, doesn't seem right. YT on a Monday morning it is, then :)

Chris Squirrel

The endangered animal interior descriptions had me just about choking.

Ed Nicholson

Nigel Mansell bought me a coffee in Woking

Bruce Driffill

Another excellent podcast. For once I listened to it as soon as it was released on Sunday night.

Steve Morton

The pair of flutes in your attempted minesweeping story was strangely appropriate. A complete pair of flutes.
