In this end of year episode of Premier Sports Solutions, the team sit down to look back on the year that’s been — from the cars we’ve sold, to our cars of the year.

We also play a fun game debating car vs car, vote on our favourites, and get creative by asking if footballers were cars, which would they be? From Defender to Urus, no one is safe.

To wrap things up, we look ahead to what’s coming next, including cars coming up for sale, new models launching, and our upcoming 2026 picks.

A relaxed end of year conversation about cars, footballers and automotive culture.

What’s it like raising a Premier League footballer, and how do you stay grounded when your son’s playing in front of 60,000 fans?

In this episode of Premier Torque, the lads sit down with the brilliantly outspoken and down-to-earth Nick Ramsdale, father of England and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Nick shares stories from his own days as a professional athlete and hurdler, how sport shaped his family’s work ethic and what it took to help Aaron chase his dream.

From freezing nights at Bolton’s youth academy to standing in the stands during England’s national anthem, Nick reflects on the pride, pressure and perspective that come with being a football parent.

The group also dive into their shared love of cars, swapping stories about first motors, dream drive and how footballers choose their wheels today.

With a trademark mix of humour, honesty and heart, this one’s full of laughs and life lessons in equal measure.

Think financing a supercar is as glamorous as the car itself? Think again. In this episode of Premier Torque, we sit down with Tim Marlow, industry veteran from Magnitude Finance and DSG, to pull back the curtain on how the world of luxury and supercar finance really works.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Tim has seen it all. From the rise of PCP deals and balloon payments, to FCA regulation shifts and even financing rare hypercars like Pagani.

He breaks down the biggest misconceptions around car finance (hint: no, nil deposit doesn’t mean free money), explains the difference between lease purchase, hire purchase and PCP, and shares what happens when footballers forget to pay their £61 utility bills.

We also tackle hot topics like the electric car market crash, the rise of Chinese brands and what the future of supercar financing could look like.

Whether you’re a petrolhead, finance geek or just curious about what really goes on behind the scenes, this conversation will leave you smarter about the numbers behind the machines.
