In this episode of Talkin’ Shop, we sit down with Racing Driver Sam (Sam Maher-Loughnan) and Max Haftavani from Driven + for an exclusive interview.

Sam opens up about a near-death experience on track, his career as a racing driver and instructor, teaching some of the world’s best-known F1 drivers, and why you don’t need to be obsessed with cars to enjoy driving them. He’s also one of the few barista-trained stuntmen you’re ever likely to meet!

Max talks about the exciting next steps for Driven+ and his vision for the future of the UK car community, while the pair reflect on their hilarious track battles that have taken off on YouTube.

Expect racing stories, performance cars, plenty of humour and a completely different side to two familiar faces from the UK car scene.
