John Nikas: Racing, Writing and Rants

from Horsepower Heritage

Few people speak more passionately about cars than John Nikas. He's a longtime vintage racing driver, an author of dozens of books, and a sought-after public speaker on automotive subjects. His first love was for British sports cars in all their crudeness and stubborn tradition, but that was only the gateway to a lifetime spent behind the wheel and the writing desk. In this conversation, John shares his thoughts about things like old MGs, the folly of the original Porsche 911, the heyday of Lotus in competition, some giants of racing, and the state of the car culture. SLOW BAJA VINTAGE EXPEDITION: https://www.slowbaja.com/adventures/slow-baja-vintage-expedition-1PORTUGAL PANORAMA AQUILA WHEELS FUND: https://portugalpanorama.com/aquila-wheels-fund/SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactHELP us grow the audience!
