Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast and a special feature brought to us by our friend,

my co-pilot for the Week in Sports Cars podcast, Graham Goodwin, speaking with two men that we

definitely have a great affinity for who've announced they will be retiring this weekend,

eight hours of competition in Bahrainrain will draw close to Anthony Davidson's long, beautiful career,

one that has spanned sports cars, Formula One, one of the great operators, also now one of the great television commentators.

He will indeed, the LMP2 class bid farewell to his driving career this weekend.

So Graham sat down with Ant for a good long, quite interesting conversation, a little bit

more than 20, 25 minutes or so.

And then his former Toyota teammate, Kazuki Nakajima, both men, world champions, Kazuki

with three Lamaw wins as well.

Kazuki has said it's time.

So he will be completing his final race with Toyota Gazoo racing this weekend.

So Kaz bidding farewell and Bidding Farewell.

Graham sat down with both. Thought thought that you might enjoy these,

so take a listen. They deserve all of our respect and appreciation, really, truly fearsome competitors

inside their cars, great motivators within their teams, also great characters in the paddock.

So I hope that while their driving time might be coming to an end, the final stint is here.

I'm hoping that we do not miss them entirely from future sports car paddocks and wherever else they might land.

Give us the gift of their personalities and stories for years to come.

So let's get going with Ant First as he was the first to announce his retirement,

followed by Kyle's about 24 hours later.

Let's get going with Ant First.
