Delighted to have our podcast Vintage Velocity nominated as a finalist for the International Historic Motoring Awards. Ollie Leston and I have worked tirelessly on creating something we are proud to deliver for the VSCC and voila we have only gone and been nominated as finalists.  I research, present and do the sound production, whilst Ollie does all the filming and editing. It really is a kitchen table production. So to be nominated next to the high flyers such as Richard Hammond and Jay Leno… I am so thrilled.

Three cheers for the VSCC: the Club, its podcast isl shortlisted at the International Historic Motoring Awards.

“From a small team of car enthusiasts to a global audience on Spotify and YouTube, Vintage Velocity has taken the spirit of vintage motorsport to new places. Commissioned by Tania Brown and brought to life with Lara Platman and Ollie Leston, the podcast is a true reflection of collaboration and shared passion. To see it shortlisted among such extraordinary company is a celebration of what it stands for. The people, the stories, and the heritage that make vintage motorsport unique.

Launched in 2024, Vintage Velocity blends modern media with storytelling, featuring legends such as Victor Riley, Ivan Dutton, and Ben Cussons, alongside rising stars and female voices shaping the sport today. Following the success of Series One, Series Two expanded its reach with guests including Vijay Mallya, Peter Stevens, and David Richards CBE. The podcast has become both archive and outreach, connecting generations and proving that even a 90-year-old Club can thrive in digital spaces. If you have not yet listened, Vintage Velocity is available on the VSCC Spotify and YouTube channels.”
