Welcome to the Marshall Proop Podcast and a Saturday recording of the weekend sports cars

brought to you by Cooper Tires, the Justice Brothers, Toronto Motorsports.com, and my British brother,

the man who makes daily sportscar.com, just sing, the man who brings words and thoughts to microphones,

WEC races, European Lamar series, Asian Lamas series.

If it has the word series at the end of it, you have probably heard Graham Goodwin's voice,

maybe seen his face.

He has burrowed into my heart, hopefully yours as well. How are you this fine? Saturday evening in the

UK. Yes, indeed Saturday evening and happily equipped with much better equipment. I'm hoping this is

going to be a big step forward

in terms of the quality you're getting from here in the UK, not in terms of the content,

but at least in terms of the quality of the sound. Good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you

are in the world, it's a freezing cold, drizzly evening here. It's well into darkness at,

what, 7 o'clock, 7 p.m. on Saturday evening after what

Marshall has been, you know, for good and for very bad reasons, a very busy week in the world

of motorsports. Yeah. Sad yet again, loss of 1985 overall winner of what we call today the Rolex 24 at Daytona,

four-time Indianapolis 500 winner as well, participated in the 91 Rolex 24 with an all-unser family lineup,

that being Al-unser.

Unfortunately, lost Al.

Late Thursday, been a brutal year in that regards.

Graham, across, name all forms of motor racing,

we've just been saying farewell to far too many people this year.

Brutal in that regard.
