Biography

The 24 Hours of Le Mans does not pause for tired presenters. Diana Binks once recorded 100 pit-lane interviews across a 22-hour stretch of it, an instructive line on her CV for any organisation that needs a host to keep a room with them when the running order slips.

Her broadcasting career began in production at Channel 4 on The Big Breakfast and Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush, then moved into sports presenting for Sky TV, Channel 5, ITV and the BBC. Motorsport became the spine of the work: Formula One, Formula E, Le Mans, British Touring Cars, British Superbikes and the Red Bull Air Race, including a Channel 5 piece presented from inside an aerobatic plane.

Alongside the on-air career, she has run press office operations and worked as a media manager for teams across Formula One, Formula E and the BTCC. That side of the work matters commercially: she reads what a sponsor, a team or a corporate partner can and cannot say on stage, and shapes interviews around that.

Since 2022 she has been a producer at F1TV, the FIA Formula 1 World Championship’s streaming service, working pit-lane coverage on the live feed. The corporate hosting work runs in parallel, covering product launches, awards ceremonies, conferences and on-stage interviews, with brands using her as an interviewer when the on-stage guest is senior, technical or commercially sensitive.
