Paul checks out the Ferrari Luce in Rome, visits the Beijing motor show and Gordie falls in love with an Audi

Author: Paul Maric and Gordie Waters June 12, 2026 Duration: 53:12
Paul is fresh off the plane from Rome after witnessing what might be Ferrari’s most controversial launch ever — the debut of the all‑electric Ferrari Luce. He breaks down the strategy, the missteps, and what this bold move means for Ferrari’s future. Back home, the boys dive into the Beijing Motor Show, where Paul takes us inside his unexpectedly adorable tour of the Chery factory, while Gordie goes full detective mode on Jaecoo and Omoda, uncovering some eyebrow‑raising surprises. Then it’s time to grill the celebrity‑endorsed Mercedes‑AMG 4‑Door, before Gordie confesses his new automotive crush: the next‑gen Audi R8. We also get to your questions. It’s loud, it’s opinionated, it’s occasionally inappropriate — in other words, it’s The Driver’s Show.

Forget the polished studio sets and scripted banter. The Driver's Show is a conversation that happens in the garage, fueled by genuine obsession and a deep well of knowledge. Hosts Paul Maric and Gordie Waters bring a unique dynamic to the automotive world. Paul, a respected expert and co-founder of CarExpert.com.au, offers the technical depth and industry insight, while Gordie’s background as a fast-talking radio host injects energy and relatable curiosity. Together, they strip away the usual schtick and marketing speak that often surrounds car culture. What you’ll hear is an unfiltered, often humorous, and always passionate discussion about anything on four wheels. Each episode feels like eavesdropping on two friends who happen to know everything about engines, design, and driving thrill. They dive into the latest models, dissect industry news, and share stories from the road, all with an authenticity that’s rare to find. This podcast is built for anyone who lights up at the sound of a great exhaust note or loves the debate over classic versus modern engineering. It’s less of a formal review and more of a shared discovery, reminding listeners why they fell in love with cars in the first place. Tune in for the unvarnished opinions, the deep dives, and the sheer joy of the topic.
