What does three decades at the sharp end of motorsport teach you about adapting to change? In this episode of Drivetime, Jacqui sits down with British Touring Car champion and Team Dynamics boss Matt Neal to look back at a career that has evolved alongside the automotive industry itself. From competing as a privateer and taking on the manufacturer-backed teams to a long-standing relationship with Honda, Matt Neal shares how technology transformed touring car racing. He explores the journey from racing with little more than a rev counter and driver instinct to today's world of data engineers, AI analysis and marginal gains measured in hundredths of a second.
The conversation also goes beyond the racetrack. Matt Neal discusses the evolution of Rimstock, supplying wheels for marques including Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Aston Martin and McLaren, and how his latest ventures are adapting to a global manufacturing landscape transformed by automation, new technology and the rise of Chinese
automotive brands. They also explore the growing classic motorsport sector, the changing role of motorsport as a marketing platform, and why the ability to pivot has been a constant throughout Matt Neal’s racing and business career.
Listen now for a conversation about racing, resilience, reinvention and what happens when decades of experience meet a rapidly changing automotive world.
