Chris Harris talks Cars with Chris Goodwin

This week, Chris Harris and Edward Lovett welcome professional test driver and racer Chris Goodwin to the podcast.
Talk turns to how Chris worked his way up through the ranks of talented drivers, what it's like to have Ron Dennis explain your career options, and why it's so hard for newcomers to learn how to set up cars from scratch.

You guys REALLY NEED to include video to these!!!

Chris Goodwin, you've been a huge part of my life even though I didn't know it up until I met you at Brands with the MP4-12C, and you still are, every time I drive my 675LT. p.s. you missed out the bit about being a TV F1 presenter ;-) and your time in the Foxy shed :-) Harris, you cost me a bloody fortune ... the day you posted the black MP4-12C around Bristol made me crack open the 6 piggy banks I'd been filling since age 6.. thank you.

[@derekoconnor57]

Broke Irish bloke here any chance of a spin in the 675lt please? the nicest car if been in so far is an old mk 2 escort. If I don't ask I won't know! Thanks.

[@CHRIS1SYD2]

Really enjoying these podcasts. You really do dig in and explore all thats needed to make a comprehensive interview. I also love the fact that Chris lets the interviewee speak and own the chat sometimes... it enables them to give more!!!! Keep them coming team!

[@ZondaF355]

These are fascinating conversations! The insight on the development of what will do down in history as the second technical revolution for petrol motorcars. Simply epic

[@juff0401]

Chris Harris is a true gentleman for not delving too much into the Senna, as he was a vocal critic of the car 😉 Enjoy each and every episode. Thanks for a great series!

[@readventurekids]

Binge listened to all the episodes over the day yesterday, and this is going to give me my fix of hilarious petrol soaked stories today. Selfishly perfect timing for me too, as just sitting down to my lunch here in Hong Kong. Love this channel!

[@rosshunter9053]

Chris, you are the only other person I've heard say "His Nibs", a fondly remembered saying of my dear old mum. Cheers

[@readventurekids]

My grandmother used to call me " His Nibs", she was from Hull.

[@rosshunter9053]

@@readventurekids My family was from Grimsby, just a stones throw away from Hull

[@UTubeSL]

Yeah was nice for me too. My Nan used to call my 2 year old nephew that.

[@sourcedpodcast7462]

Brilliant.

[@rogermanku4627]

Wow! Really enjoyed this podcast. Keep up the excellent work.Well done allQ

[@gregmayled]

My favourite podcast! Please keep these going and try to advertise them more. Proper petrolheads love these!

[@squish360]

You can learn chassis tuning in simulators these days! Even early Forza games can be really useful just to understand the principals and how changes affect dynamics

[@RainMakr]

Superb content lads

[@simonkempthorne4610]

Another great listen, thanks guys!!

[@RainMakr]

I did see a few TVR Cerbera's back in the day with Mercedes using them as test mules

[@alexmartinez280]

Cerbera is the modern car a 1920s Chicago mobster would make his company car to make his rounds and collections. I believe the Speed 12 was the ultimate version of the great Cerbera. Would be great to get a company history on the TVR brand as it was never experienced by the North American public. Good comment brother!

[@andreasphotiou1886]

Chris sounds like a latter day Norman Dewis. Really interesting podcast guys

[@tonykeast9966]

Brilliant.

[@gregj3515]

Fantastic

[@samsonite360]

@1:27:00 did anyone else think that the "bullshit era" Chris Harris was talking about is aimed directly at Lamborghini?

[@Wallygjs]

I wish McLaren would employ someone who knows how to make their engines sound good. They all sound like my Dad's old Mark 1 Cortina being revved to death. To me 50% of a great car is the sound it makes and all this turbo and catalyst nonsense is killing great sounding cars!

[@shingnosis]

That's a bit harsh: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGW4f4Wkg7hpf8k

[@Wallygjs]

@@samharper5881 You might be right, but certainly Lambos Ferraris and Porsches sound great through my computer speakers so I can only go only go by comparison, we don't get many round here in rural Worcestershire.

[@mexistratman1]

No disrespect to Chris, but I thought it was Colin Goodwin you were having on and I’m disappointed now 😅

[@veemacks7255]

1:32:37 shout out to me :-)
