Joe Rogan and Chris Harris rip apart a decade-old Formula-One scandal

From the Spygate – McLaren, 2007 season scandal to the Secret Fuel Tank – BAR, 2005 season scandal, Formula One has been embroiled in such controversies that if people get to know about them then their trust in the sport might be hindered. According to automoti͏ve journalist, Chris Harris, racing has so much cheating and scandal that he can write an entire book on the basis of that but still, the fans would prefer not to read it.

The automotive journalist recently sat down with Joe Rogan to have a conversation about the perplexities of the racing world on “Joe Rogan Experience #2199” and amid the conversation, Harris revealed a story about a famous racer that caught the multi-million dollar podcaster off-guard. “I remember hearing a guy called Win Percy, who was a touring car driver from the UK in the sort of 60s and 70s, describing how there was a famous commentator we had, called Murray Walker,” said Harris.

He further added, “He was the voice of our motorsport for 40 years. He had a very distinctive voice. He was a lovely man; I met him a few times. He would often describe Win Percy getting out of this particular car he’d been racing, covered in sweat because it was such a monster to drive. But it turned out that it was a V12 and it was very, very thirsty.”So, to make sure that when they did a fuel check at the end of the race, to make sure they were abiding by the rules, he would be furiously pumping a hand pump underneath the seat to inflate a bladder in the fuel tank to cut off the volume. “

It must be noted that Win Percy was one of the most accomplished racers of his time. The British racer has won the BTCC three times, in 1980, 1981, and 1982. Percy, along with Tom Walkinshaw, won the 1984 ETCC, including the prestigious Spa 24 Hours race. In addition to these, he was among one of the most accomplished non-Australian riders of his time.

Harris caught Joe Rogan completely off-guard, as Rogan had limited information about the events and developments in the world of Formula One. Well, Rogan might have limited knowledge about the sport but it has not stopped him from praising it.

The time when Rogan praised the adrenaline-rushed Formula One

While having a conversation with Mike Schmidt on ‘JRE #818’, Rogan discussed the relevance of Formula One in the world of sports. Amid the conversation, the multi-million dollar podcaster emphasized that one of the craziest and insane acts one can do is to immerse their entire life into racing.

“Auto racing is amazing. I mean, that, to me, is one of the craziest things to dedicate your life to. Those Formula one guys, my god!” said Rogan. The Multi-Million dollar podcaster further added that despite being one of the most popular sports across the world, Formula One is still inferior to NASCAR in the United States, “It’s interesting how that doesn’t really fly over here. But yet we do like fast cars like, why do we like NASCAR, but we don’t like Formula One?”
