Highly skilled in developing new talent to broadcasting and production; great journalistic and business integrity whilst providing customers with first class products to a variety of briefs and budgets. Launch of his newest brand at the time of writing, Motorsport Awards, is a great initiative and has fantastic advertiser and collaborative potential. Would highly recommend Lester and Motorsport Media as a contractor and collaborator.

Ho/da – The GP2 Song (Thunderstruck parody)
The 2015 Formula 1 season for the McLaren Honda team was woeful, after a much hyped relaunch of the previously very succesful partnership from the 80’s and 90’s it was a shocking disappointment to all to see the team, the cars and the drivers at the back of the grid for much of the season. One driver Fernando Alonso spoke out about how bad the car and engine was mid-race! calling it a much inferior ‘GP2 engine’, immediately that triggered my creativity and a parody song was going to happen, and the GP2 song was a thing.
Plumsacks are go (Thundercats parody)
Every so often I get an idea about good idea for a parody song. It was based on the team at Downforce Radio and our self-depreciating humour, I’m not sure where the word ‘plumsacks’ came from, but it was used within the team to describe one another.. and so that’s how the plumsack song came about.

Motors TV gone for good?
Following the widespread worry and turmoil pre season when French owned Motors TV dissapeared from the Sky EPG due to a dispute, there are yet more troubling reports Tonight that the beleaguered broadcaster has once again vanished and gone off air, with social media speculation that this time, it could be for good.
Can't verify this, but (allegedly) @MotorsTV has gone… this time for good. Was put into receivership 5 weeks ago: https://t.co/460MVq6TE6
— Motorsport Broadcasting (@f1broadcasting) July 5, 2016
If true, this will throw countless British championships, teams and drivers plans into disarray having gained vital sponsorship based on the fact they would gain exposure on the all important TV coverage.
Having provided many years of brilliant motorsport TV to France, UK and Europe, if rumours are true it would mark a very sad moment in the motorsport TV landscape and in British motorsport overall.
No comment has been made by the channel Tonight but surely the people who stump up the cash to pay for filming of some club racing championships must be getting fed up and probably thinking about a more stable, HD solution!
Video did not kill the radio star…..
