Motorcycle racing legend Carl Fogarty and the new Forzo Ltd Ed watches - Ep #30
Podcast regulars Anthony and Ben chat to the one and only Carl Fogarty \u2013 a.k.a. \u2018Foggy' \u2013 about being brand ambassador for one of the most exciting projects we\u2019ve ever undertaken: a limited-edition watch with motorsport at its heart.
\nCarl talks fondly about the time when the legendary Isle of Man TT race was one of the main fixtures in his racing calendar: a circuit that still holds a special place in his heart.
\nIn 1992, Foggy set the fastest-ever lap there at an incredible average speed of 123.61mph: a record that stood for seven years and was the inspiration behind the Forzo watch we\u2019ve created with him. He describes how time slowed down and he felt at one with his bike, despite the fact that it was falling apart beneath him as he rode a lap that would go down in history. Carl later went on to win the World Superbike Championship several times and remains one of the most prolific motorbike racers the world has ever seen.
\nWe ask Foggy how he first got into watches, and Ben and Carl discuss how the design for the Foggy watch came to fruition. Carl also shares his love of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna and tells us how his first-ever bike, with a deeply personal story behind it, has now been brought back to life thanks to the National Motorbike Museum.
\nA truly fascinating insight into the man behind the bike \u2013 and now the man behind the new Forzo watch.
