Hello and welcome to episode 112 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. With Editor Guy Swarebrick this month are one of the Club’s newest Section Secretaries Andrew Whitehead – know to his friends as TED – and friend of the podcast, MiTo Registrar and AROC Racing Leagues commentator Reeve Taylor to talk about the eSports Section’s latest activities, including its new racing programme which started this week. AROC Racing Leagues races are broadcast on YouTube from 8pm every Wednesday. You can find all the races on the AROC YouTube Channel – and Round 1 of our new 1750 Championship is here The lowest price we could find for the Ultimate Edition of Assetto Corsa is £9.53 at Instant Gaming – which is an absolute steal! We did exaggerate slightly in the podcast when we said it was 13 years old. It’s only 11 years since the official release, although preview versions were around earlier…  And here’s a video showing what’s involved in setting your PC up to race with us - thanks to Section member - and friend of the podcast - Jack Hodson. You can find more at our official website and the Touring Car and Historic Racing websites - and the email address we couldn't remember on the podcast is this simple!  If you don’t have a PC, Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox – although most of the additional content is not and, unfortunately, Xbox and PC multiplayer racing don’t mix. And, finally, thanks to Greig Young for the image on the label - taken from the opening round and feature TED and Matt Daly.

Alfa Romeo Driver Editor Guy Swarbrick sat down with AROC Manager Nick Wright and Management Team member David Faithful to discuss National Alfa Day - which will be held at Bicester Motion on the 17th of August. Find out what's in store at the biggest and best Alfa Romeo event of the year!

In Episode 110 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast – brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club we have something slightly different – or, rather, we have two slightly different things. Lance Dong of the San Diego Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club of the USA - a regular listener to the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast started his own podcast - Always Looking for Another. Lance interviewed Guy Swarbrick for his show – and then Guy turned the tables and interviewed him back. You can find Episode 13 of Always Looking for Another through this link, on Spotify, Podcast Addict, Buzzsprout and everywhere else good podcasts are found… You don’t have to listen to that episode first – but if you have time, we’d recommend you do. We refer to it a couple of times here - but this should all make perfect sense even if you listen to this one first. We’d recommend downloading the other 12 episodes, too.

In Episode 109 of the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast – brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. Editor Guy Swarbrick talks to 75 Registrar Nick Suiter, 159 Registrar Debbie Lindsey and Giulia Registrar Andrew Celi to talk about their models’ 40th, 20th and 10th anniversaries respectively.
