An absolute treasure! Thanks for posting this, and MANY thanks to the great David Hobbs for more years than I care to admit to myself of making racing more enjoyable than it already is.

For a guy with a not so good memory he has an amazing amount of detail at his finger tips. Great interview.

Thanks Hobbo for everything.

Really great. I’m buying the book.

[@andromedazoowitski5903]

Nice one Hobbo.

[@bjorge1896]

Thank goodness for Hobbs, Derek Daly, and Sam Posey for us in the states because we didn’t have Murray Walker and James Allen to listen to in the states. Hobbo had a Honda dealership in Milwaukee and we hated to see him leave for Florida.

Can we get lapel mics for your poor guests?

[@gearsau]

I was thinking the same thing.

Hi both :) I'm Alan, the chap that records these podcasts. As they are primarily podcasts, (i.e. audio content) that we happen also to film, my primary concern is good sound. They are being recorded in a non-studio environment, and the rooms we use are often large rooms which don't have perfect acoustics for audio recording. Lavalier mics would look great on the video, but it would be far harder to achieve a sound even close to the sound quality from these Sennheiser handheld mics. I do also have a full set of broadcast quality Sennheiser lavalier mics, but elect to use the handhelds. I do hope this helps explain the mystery!
