Auge y caída de los GrB: Los GrB fueron los protagonistas de una de las épocas más espectaculares y peligrosas del automovilismo.  Entre 1983 y 1986, marcaron una época en los rallyes, con motores muy potenciados, chasis tubulares y una estética que recordaba a los coches de calle. El podcast de hoy no va a dejar indiferente a nadie. El grupo B se creó con el objetivo de fomentar la innovación y la competencia entre las marcas, que podían desarrollar sus modelos con pocas restricciones técnicas y reglamentarias. Así surgieron coches legendarios como el Audi Quattro, el Lancia Delta S4, el Peugeot 205 T16, el Ford RS200 o el Renault 5 Turbo, sin olvidarnos del patito feo del BX 4TC.Estos coches alcanzaban velocidades de mas de 200km/h y aceleraciones de menos de 4 segundos de 0 a 100 lo que los hacía muy atractivos para el público y los medios de comunicación. Los rallyes del grupo B se convirtieron en un fenómeno social, que congregaba a miles de aficionados en las carre by Historacing

Cliff Drysdale: Making an Impression in All Efforts: Cliff Drysdale is a preeminent voice in tennis broadcasting, but his commentary skill on television is just the latest chapter in a career that touches all aspects of the sport. Starting at a very young age in South Africa, Drysdale was a self-taught competitor who played alongside and claimed victories against some of the best in tennis history. In 1968, Drysdale became one of the founding members of World Championship Tennis known as the Handsome Eight. With host Chris Bowers, he discusses the early days of professional tennis, and how it was firstly an opportunity for him to continue playing the game he loved. When the ATP began in 1972 as representation for the growing body of professional players, Drysdale was named President, and talks about how he stumbled into the role. For him, the start of the pro era was less about consciously changing the game, and more about the common sense of including players in d by TennisWorthy
