Hannah McKillop’s 2024 season has already reached the lofty heights of the World Rally Championship, as she joined the exclusive list of Co-Drivers to have competed on the legendary Monte Carlo Rally but by no means has Hannah hit her peak, arguably, she’s just hitting her stride. With over 70 rallies under her belt, Hannah’s Motorsport career was born at home in Ireland. Coming home from ballet classes, still wearing her pink tutu, she would have a spanner ready for her, to help her Dad build MK2 Escorts. Since her very first event competing on the Circuit of Ireland, Hannah has won championships, rallied across the globe in America, Spain, Mexico and Austria to highlight a few. Listen up to Hannah’s recap on the Monty and all things Co-Driver. (Do forgive a few giggles as she is a very good mate! )

Peter MacKay, made a life changing decision when he left behind a decade long career in the Scotch Whiskey Business to fulfil his dream of becoming a Motorsport Commentator. Having grasped this new life choice with both hands, Pete is now a full time commentator, reporter, host and soon to be author specialising in a variety of motorsport disciplines. From end of stage for WRC Promotor, commentator for Daytona 24 hour and World Endurance events, Esports, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, Motorbike Racing at Knockhill Circuit and hosting Live Radio - Pete has done it all!

He’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve met on my motorsport travels and we’ve had some good times on event. I think his story is inspiring and we love talking all things motorsport.

Welcome back to Motorsport Now

I’m so excited to bring back my podcast!

Having been around motorsport and automotive all my life, I’ve met some incredibly interesting people along the way. From racing, karting, off-road, production and PR, I’ve been so lucky to connect with most corners of the motorsport community and I want to share their stories with you…

Since I started the podcast in 2020 during lockdown - when I caught everyone at home - the questions are based around what people were doing without any motorsport. If you look back though the episodes, you can listen to my interviews with Matt Neal, Gwyndaf Evans, Louise Aitken-Walker MBE, David Richards CBE, Nicky Grist, Karun Chandhok, Sarah Moore, Claire Williams, Tom Williams, Emma Bearpark, Michelle Westby, Laura Tillett, Hannah McKillop and many more!

Now everyone is out and about, I’ll try to catch as many as I can and truly can’t wait to share the interviews!

Watch this space for the first episode and thank you as ever for your support.

It's The Becs Williams we hear when we watch the World Rally Championship. She brings her vast knowledge and experience to give us the very best coverage of the sport we know and love but WRC is not the only item on a rather long CV. Becs is experienced in all types of broadcasting including Rugby and Touring cars and it is quite a surprise that her career lead to Motorsport at all!

Listen to find out more about the real Becs Williams - there will be a lot you didn't know it will definitely make you smile!

"Living life on 2 & 4 wheels" is Chloe's bio on her social media and it's true that Chloe's life is Motorsport through and through. But, what stood out for me in her interview was her fantastic attitude of "why not" and she's up for giving anything in Motorsport a try. Chloe works for MSUK, competes and thrives in a Motorsport environment and enjoys being herself in it. Listen up and enjoy! x

Aged only 22, Tiegen has taken on the mammoth task of making Rallying accessible for young people. Having recently founded the Crew25 Championship, she aims to try to make Motorsport more affordable and provide much needed support to newcomers. Tiegen has also been a Scrutineer from the age of only 16 (Her Mum had to drive her to events!) completed an Engineering Degree and is now working in a carbon composites company - living and breathing Motorsport could be an understatement! What Tiegen is taking on is no easy task but it's great to hear her enthusiasm and determination. Listen up to find out more! Enjoy x

Nicky Grist is a Welsh former rally co-driver. His factory team career in the World Rally Championship lasted from 1993 to 2002. He won 21 rallies with a number of drivers including Colin McRae. Grist's first WRC win was in the Rally Argentina in 1993 with Juha Kankkunen, who at that time was a three times WRC champion.

The audio was taken from my interview with Nicky for the BBC feature on how Wales Rally GB has been affected by Covid 19. We discuss this topic, about the near miss of the title for Elfyn Evans, women in Motorsport (sorry I do get a date wrong!) and we discuss what needs to be done in Rallying! Leave a review and get in touch @jadepaveleymotorsport ! Enjoy x
