The Foges’ words of wisdom from his latest column in Auto Action magazine. KIMI DOES WHAT KIMI WANTS AMID THE POST-RACE RANCOUR AT SEPANG, MARK FOGARTY NOTICED THAT ‘THE ICEMAN’ REMAINED CHARACTERISTICALLY COOL HERE WE go again.

OUR PARTNERS
Radio HOTLAP is available free on the Apple iTunes Music Store, as a podcast.
Our World Headquarters are located in a rather nice part of Adelaide, where regular production takes place. Unless we're somewhere else, which is often the case.
If you ask nicely, you may be allowed to be part of our live audience. 
There comes a time, in this case after six years, with over 240 episodes recorded in 10 different countries, 300+ guests and 220 continuous hours of recording, that we feel its time to go commercial. With over 55,000 viewers, since March 2011, we get some serious exposure. So we thought a magazine to fill in the gaps would be nice. 
Our firm policy that we don't edit a show once its recorded is because it detracts from its natural conversational character in the first place. Commercial partners and alliances will have to adhere to policy and whilst we'll do the best to accommodate you and make you feel loved you have no control of how we do things. Just so we're clear on that :)
