| 0:00.0 | From Auditor.com and UltteroTor magazine, I'm Kevin Turner and this is the Autosport Podcast. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, we've just had the second round of the World Endurance Championship for 2024, Imala. |
| 0:17.0 | And after qualifying, it looked like it was going to be a home fan's dream with Ferrari |
| 0:22.9 | 1-2-3 on the grid, which they somehow turned into a 478, and the race was in fact won by the |
| 0:30.7 | Toyota of Mike Conway, Kamaukabayashi and Nick DeFries. |
| 0:33.9 | And joining me to explain how this happened, how Ferrari got it so wrong, or did it work |
| 0:38.6 | to her to get it so right, is Gary Watkins, who's only just returned from Italy. |
