The 1980 Formula One World Champion is about to clock up a special birthday so we’re bringing back his Feature Ep to celebrate the milestone.

AJ will be 80 on November the 2nd. We originally spoke with him back in 2022 in the lead up to the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.  

For a time Rusty shared the F1 desk and set at Channel 10 with the great man for the network’s live GP coverage and many of you will fondly remember him alongside the late great Daryl Eastlake at 9 before that. 

Alan’s always been a straight shooter.  You’re never in any doubt about his view on something and he earned the right to those opinions. Keep in mind as you listen here that if our world has changed a bit, become a bit more PC well that isn’t how AJ lives his life. Keep that era perspective around the stories please.

There’s some great reflections on his Dad Stan, doing it tough in England trying to get a break.

Plus secret meetings with Enzo Ferrari, the legendary Frank Williams and more

Enjoy listening to one of the undisputed hardmen of Formula One and Australia’s last World Champion (currently) in this frank and honest conversation.

Alan is one of the very few to be uplifted to Legend status in the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame.  Find out more here.
