Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by legendary development driver Matt Becker. After learning his craft at Lotus, where he was responsible for some of the world's great sports cars, Matt moved to Aston Martin and then to Jaguar Land Rover. Matt's career has spanned simple sports cars to ultra-sophisticated performance SUVs using the latest technologies, with GTs, luxury 4x4s and saloons in between. Having been an apprentice at Lotus as a teenager, he now has almost 500 people reporting into him. Matt reflects on how the job has changed over the years, what it takes to produce cars with world-class ride and handling characteristics, and how new technologies will make next-generation cars even better to drive.
He also explains his father Roger's role as a stand-in stunt driver on a James Bond film.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the great cars that were let down by their crap engines, and the brilliant engines that somehow found their way into terrible cars. Examples include the wonderful Alfa Romeo Busso V6 that was never used in a truly great car (except maybe once), the front-wheel drive, V8-powered Lancia Thema 8.32, and every diesel convertible ever built.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by RML's Michael Mallock. If you're a race team or an automotive OEM with a problem, maybe you can hire RML... if you can find them.

Nowadays, RML is also producing its own vehicles for customers , such as the Short Wheelbase, a Ferrari 250 GT SWB homage, and the P39, a focused version of the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Michael explains what RML does, how the company got started in the 1980s, and what he sees coming around the corner.
