Car Chat Podcast #67 - Sam Hancock | Racing Driver / Coach / Commentator

Sam Hancock (@hancock_sam) is a Professional Racing driver, coach, consultant and commentator. Sam has just got back from commentating at Le Mans for Eurosport so we have a bit of a dig into what's been going on and a bit about Sam. This is a long one so might be worth getting a brew on.
