Marc Ouayoun — A Living Museum at Full Speed
Episode 13
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
In this episode of The Bucket Seat Podcast, Bonar and Trevor are joined by Marc Ouayoun, Managing Director of Peter Auto — the people behind some of the most important historic motoring events on the planet.Marc’s story starts the way all good ones do: as a kid obsessing over car magazines, dreaming big, and eventually finding himself at the helm of Porsche in France and Canada, Audi France, and now the custodian of motorsport history at full throttle.We talk first cars (including a Peugeot 205 GTI), daily drivers, and why Marc sold his personal Porsches when he joined the brand — before diving headlong into the world of Peter Auto. From Tour Auto and Le Mans Classic to Chantilly Arts & Élégance, Marc explains why these events aren’t museums, but living, breathing celebrations where history is meant to be driven hard, not parked quietly.Along the way, we get into why Europe’s density of history matters, how younger generations are discovering historic racing, what makes a true “gentleman driver,” and whether electric or hydrogen cars will ever earn a place on a historic grid.Topics include:Growing up car-obsessed (and the cars that never really leave you)Life inside Porsche, Audi, and the modern car industryWhy historic racing works best at full speedTour Auto, Le Mans Classic, and Chantilly Arts & Élégance explainedThe next generation of historic motorsportElectric cars, hydrogen, and the future of endurance racingRecorded remotely between Toronto and Paris — with the sun setting in one city and engines echoing somewhere else.
