Episode notes

This week on The Driven Chat Podcast, John Marcar and Racheal Downie sit with Envision Racing Formula E Team at their headquarters at Silverstone headquarters ahead of the London Formula E race. This special episode features four very different conversations with four very different personalities - each of whom has a very special role to play in the team.


First up, John and Rachael speak to the team president and MD, Sylvain Filippi, who shares his fantastic outlook on life and how his outgoing approach to work granted him an extraordinary career.


Driver Nick Cassidy is up next and shares his experience of driving with Envision. He also tells the story about his journey within motorsport, including the big decision to relocate to the other side of the world to Europe from New Zealand.


Our third guest is the sensational Alice Powell. Alice is a development driver for Envision but also has a fascinating motorsport career as a pioneer for female drivers. Alice shares a very open and honest account of her experience as a lady in an often male-dominated sport.


We round up our conversations with Envision's technical director Mike Lugg who shares his career journey from V8 Supercars in Australia to later looking after some of the world's most technologically advanced racing cars.
