“Send us a Hey Now!” This week we had the pleasure to sit down with Matt Trumpets. Not sure who is is?  Well... Taken from the Missed Apex website, Matt is co-creator and co-host, trumpet player extraordinaire, and all round clever person that probably has researched anything you ever might've had questions about. Also you must read his wife's books.  And, from his word press site... Mat...

“Send us a Hey Now!” F1 took a trip to one of our favorite circuits on the calendar this week; Spa. The Belgian GP is held on the longest track of the year with the greatest change in elevation.  It's micro-climate can often throw up a mixed bag of weather and it did not disappoint this time either! As well as weather action to report on we also have a bumper crop of racing action as it was a...

“Send us a Hey Now!” F1 heads back to the hills of Austria as we set off on a European tour!

“Send us a Hey Now!” Not sure what we can write in the show notes for this one! First ever #F1 race attended in person for the two of us and it was all we imagined and so much we could never of dared to imagine.

“Send us a Hey Now!” F1 heads to Spain where we spend so much time in pre-season testing.  Not usually a banger of a race but high tire degradation means we did not see the boring one stop strategy we've become accustomed to for most of this season. We do have to endure Sap being very smug about his Grand Slam prediction and we also hear Rob be very confused as to why Sap seems to think he &q...

“Send us a Hey Now!” F1 heads back to the glitz and glamour of Monaco! The whole weekend was amazing with qualifying especially being an absolute banger. The good old Monaco weather then had it's say as a late downpour added some extra spice to the race. Despite a hope of an Alonso win for the veteran driver, Max sealed yet another win in his purple mean machine while Esteban "Estie Best...
