Today we’re looking into the bonkers life of Duncan Hamilton, the only man to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans drunk behind the wheel. This guy might have the nuttiest story so far on this podcast: from building his own car as a teenager, too surviving back to back sinking ships in World War Two, and surviving multiple crashes on the track. There’s only one Duncan Hamilton!

You guys should absolutely make an episode on Zandvoort! It has a fascinating history and as a Dutchmen it would make me proud! Also, an idea for a new series where you guys physically travel (when possible again) to racetracks around the globe (or USA) and review them. That would rock!

@Wyatt Altizer i just want to enlighten you a bit you probably aren't a huge car nut but Chrysler was unstoppable in the 60s and 70s. Smog was rough for everyone but the original supercharged hemi was so good that top fuel drag cars eventually were all just Chrysler powered hemis. Fiberglass Ford's with dodge engines. Even today the modern 5.7 6.1 and 6.2 hemis are amazing engines with tons of tunability due to the variable valve timing in modern engines we can shut off an entire bank of cylinders and get 20mpg in a full size truck. Don't be ignorant Chrysler isn't one of the main 3 on accident. It's just not your cup of tea.

Nolan and Joe are awesome, but for me, always for me... I'm getting UP TO SPEED ON Pumphrey, James Pumphrey. Taking nothing away from any donut person period. The entire crew is epically awesome, but James with always be my Bromance.

Another plug for your sponser. I usually always get valvoline. I ran regular valvoline and a fram filter, in my 2.3 ranger from like 108k miles to around 268k then I sold it while it was still running great not even a single tick. Changed oil about every 5k miles while delivering for domino's. My Grandfathers neighbor bought it still drives it like everyday, gotta be close to 300k on her now
