John made his Radio Le Mans debut in 1989, and loved it so much he bought the company! Since then he's only missed the 24 hours once, and he's commentated on all but three ALMS races in the decade since that series started.
In addition to Radio Le Mans, John also does motorsport commentaries both on network and cable TV across Europe.

Declan knew motor racing was more than just a passing childhood phase when he witnessed Stirling Moss v Richard Attwood at Dublin's Phoenix Park. Attwood manhandled a glorious 917 while Moss, in his Chevron B8, battled every step of the way with both the Porsche and a door that refused to shut.
A marketing career beckoned & motorsports became inextricably linked with Declan's day to day activities. From marketing racing video games and launching race tracks to sponsorship & TV he has never strayed too far from sounds & smells of racing.
Declan's career highlight to date is a couple of laps in Ari Vatenen's RS Cosworth, the very car he used to compete on the Rally of Finland the day before. Ari, his hands a blur, chatted happily as Declan sat there not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Eventually, he got out of the car with a smile on his face which remains to this day.

Graham Tyler has been an endurance racing addict since first being introduced to it at the Brands Hatch 6 Hours Race in 1979. He visited Le Mans for the first time the following year and hasn't missed one since.
Graham was involved from the early days of Radio Le Mans taking notes made at trackside of incidents and accidents he had witnessed to the caravan of Wireless Workshops, which served as the 'studio' in those early days.
By 1990 two-way radios had been introduced, so that spotters could be placed at intervals round the track to report back instantly on anything they had seen, and Graham spent several years watching the race and feeding back information to the commentators.
Graham made his pit lane debut at the fiftieth anniversary running of the Twelve Hours of Sebring in 2002. Since then Graham has been a regular broadcaster at Le Mans and in the ALMS and more recently has been co-commentator for the FIA GT series.
Jeremy Shaw has been writing and talking about the sport for over 30 years. ("Yes," he agrees, "the age is beginning to show.")
He started out covering club racing events in his native England for Motoring News and Autosport, and served as a press officer for Brands Hatch and its associated circuits in the late 1970s before joining the staff of Autosport as Features/Sports Editor.
He was covering both Formula 3 and the World Endurance Championship in 1985 when an opportunity arose to move to the United States as editorial director of On Track magazine. He was gone in a flash. Jeremy soon resumed his original freelance status and has remained in America ever since.
He provided commentary for the international feed of the Champ Car World Series for many years and now is delighted to be in his third year with the ALMS Radio team. |
