Shownotes

Join me, Mark Stone, for an in-depth continuation of my interview with Mike Wilds at Race Retro.

In this episode, Mike recounts his early struggles in Formula One, his brief stint with BRM, and the numerous mechanical failures that hindered his racing career. Despite these setbacks, Mike's career flourished in sports car racing, particularly in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Group C era.

From the highs of racing a Williams FW07C to the life-changing speed and reliability of the Porsche 956, Mike opens up about his passion for racing, instructing in aviation, and his candid views on the evolution of motorsport.
