From the moment Colin Chapman bolted wings onto the Lotus 49B in 1968, aerodynamics permanently reshaped the landscape of Formula 1, turning visionary designers like Adrian Newey and Gordon Murray into motorsport icons. In episode 48 of Podcast, we chart the incredible journey of Sydney’s own Dr. Sammy Diasinos - who turned his childhood obsession with F1 into a glittering international engineering career. After cutting his teeth on aerospace engineering at UNSW, Sammy realized his ultimate dream in 2006, breaking into the pinnacle of motorsport. Over the next seven years, he served as a pivotal CFD engineer during Toyota’s final podium-clinching seasons, navigated the grid with and weathered the dramatic team transitions at Caterham.

Now back on Australian soil, Sammy continues to push the absolute limits of speed and physics. From securing land speed records with UNSW’s solar car to masterminding the aerodynamics of —the dominant, record-shattering Porsche 968 that owns Sydney Motorsport Park—his expertise remains in high demand. When he isn’t shaping the bodywork of elite machinery like the supercharged supercar, he’s inspiring the next generation as a lecturer at Macquarie University and dissecting the modern grid as a premier F1 media analyst.

Episode 47 of The Motor Dream Podcast is now live and ready to listen in your podcast feeds and in this episode, we again explore the structured world of the Porsche racing pyramid, this time in the heart of the United Kingdom. The focus of our conversation features Aimée Watts, who is currently embarking on her second season in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB with Clean Racing. Since making her professional racing debut in 2025, Watts has garnered a popular following both on and off the track.

Despite being the daughter of British Touring Car legend Patrick Watts, Aimee’s path to the cockpit only began six years ago following a spirited family Christmas lunch. We discuss her rapid ascent from racing a budget-buy Citroen C1 to competing in high-stakes one-make racing, her deep-seated passion for historic Minis, and the nuanced influence of her father’s Super Touring legacy on her own professional aspirations.

It's guest reveal time once again and for episode 47 of The Motor Dream Podcast, we get to chat with one of the fast femmes of British motor racing - Aimée Watts.

Daughter of former BTCC competitor Patrick Watts, Aimee has fast become one of the drivers to watch in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB for Clean Racing. She's also a dab hand in the historic racing scene, tearing up the tracks of England in her self prepared Mini Cooper S.

Although a relative latecomer to motorsport, Aimee has been around cars all her life, largely thanks to her dad's passion for them and fortunately, she's inherited the same passion that carries through into her racing.

From his 2014 debut in the Victorian Porsche 944 Challenge to the peak of the 2025 Porsche Motorsport Australia Carrera Cup Australia, Dylan O'Keeffe's journey has been defined by grit and precision.

Episode 46 of The Motor Dream Podcast tracks the dramatic shift in the 2025 standings, where a "disastrous" run for defending champion Harri Jones opened the door for O’Keeffe. After eight attempts at the title since 2016, the 28-year-old Melburnian finally secured his maiden national championship through a series of well measured drives for GWR Australia and RAM Motorsport, proving that a decade within the Porsche pyramid was the ultimate training ground for success.

Beyond the sprint races, we dive into Dylan’s remarkable endurance pedigree, including his recent Pro-Am class victory at the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour. We sit down with the champion to discuss his motorsport-steeped upbringing, his brief but wild international sojourn in the TCR World Tour, and the evolving partnership with Garth Walden. To wrap things up, Dylan reveals a "euro-centric" dream garage that balances his Porsche roots with a dash of pl***oy flair. It’s an inside look at a driver who has become a foundational pillar of the Australian motor racing scene.
