Part 3 of our 4-part series takes us in a new direction. Our 13th podcast explores motorcycle suspension systems and we follow the history of the suspension technologies from the earliest motorcycle innovators such as the British company, Ariel through to the most modern and complicated suspensions of today. As always, we look at the motorbikes that introduced new technologies and are surprised to discover how the BMW R80GS directly influenced the design of the Honda RC30.

Our 12th podcast is the 2nd in our 4-part mini-series and looks at the story of vehicle dynamics. In our podcasts, we often identify the people that were instrumental in bringing new concepts, technologies or cars to production. The story of vehicle dynamics is unique in that it owes so much to the work of one Welsh man. We talk about this engineer and his ground-breaking work at General Motors. We talk about some of the core principles of vehicles dynamics and how we as drivers experience those behaviours.

Our 11th podcast explores automobile suspension systems. In this episode we look at why and how wheels have been attached to the vehicle and the various challenges the suspension engineers overcame in order to balance the comfort and performance. General Motors created ground-breaking developments in the 1930s that we still benefit from today and as always there are a few surprises such as the very common system that was first introduced on the low-volume 1970 Mercedes Benz C111 sports car.
