In Episode 103 of the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, Editor Guy Swarbrick sat down with professional racing driver – and instructor – Steve Deeks to talk about his passion for Alfa Romeo. They talked for so long, we’ve turned it into two epsiodes - in Part 1 they talked Steve’s early racing career and his links to Alfa Romeo – and how that developed into the passion he has for the marque.
Part 2 will cover his exploits in the Alfa Workshop 4C and the work he’s done with Jamie Porter to help develop the car and will be released in the New Year.
