Ex-McLaren team manager Alastair Caldwell joins us for our second podcast of 2016. We look back at how he got his foot in the door at the now-Woking-based outfit, his memories of Bruce McLaren, the 1976 World Championship with James Hunt and which driver impressed him the most.

You will also hear about our request for stories from anyone who was at Brands Hatch in 1976 for the British Grand Prix. In the July issue of the magazine we’re looking back at that day and, instead of giving you the (well-told) story from the paddock, we want to hear from you. Were you there? Did you throw cans on the track? What are your memories? Do please use #Brands76 on social media to share your stories. Alternatively, you can leave a comment below or email editorial@motorsportmagazine.com.
