Author: Paramex Digital March 6, 2022 Duration: 1:39:47

This week it's a Praga Cars special where we include five conversations in one podcast. Following an invite from Praga to attend the pre-season test day at Silverstone, John Marcar is in conversation with;


  • Ex SAS soldier turned racing driver, Jay Morton
  • Racing driver and previous 'Top Gear Stig', Ben Collins
  • Managing Director of Praga Cars, Mark Harrison
  • YouTube Creator and now racing Driver, Jimmy Broadbent
  • Racing Driver, Gordie Mutch


Jay Morton joins John to talk about his second year driving for Praga and what it's like being teamed up with 'The Stig'. Ben Collins talks about his experience driving a Praga compared to other cars and offers an overview of what it's like to be teamed up with an Ex SAS operative. Mark Harrison shares his impressive CV in PR for some iconic car brands and launches. Jimmy Broadbent explains how he transitioned from sim racer to IRL racer and the comparisons between the two worlds, plus he shares details on his eclectic collection of 'rusty' JDM cars. Gordie Mutch is our final guest on the podcast and talks about being teamed up with Jimmy as well as his aspirations to take the championship, despite being one of the youngest drivers in the series.


NB: The interviews are played in a different order to which they were recorded.

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
