About this episode
This week, on the Driven Chat Podcast, John Marcar and Rachael Downie are joined by Perry McCarthy, famous for donning the all-black crash helmet and racing suit as the first-ever Stig on BBC Top Gear.
There is a lot more to the man than just the mysterious Stig because Perry McCarthy has the most fantastic story about his career in F1 and what he had to do personally to get himself into a driver's seat back in the early 1990s.
This conversation features a great insight into the re-birth of Top Gear, the struggles of professional motorsport and the importance of personal drive, which can be used both metaphorically and directly in other aspects of life.
