This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Larry Perkins sharing one of his many tales from racing in Europe.
In this snippet, Perkins tells the colourful tale of his Formula 1 debut driving for Chris Amon’s privateer team at the 1974 German GP, held on the legendary and daunting Nürburgring Nordschleife.
This Mini came from Episode 31 back in 2020, the first of a two-part chat with Perkins about his career. To listen to the rest of the chat, tap this link >> https://bit.ly/3YswxSK

You’ve heard the voice, now hear his story! Long-time commentator Matt Naulty joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.
‘Knuckles’ has been part of the Supercars commentary team for over a decade now, but has also lent his dulcet tones to a wide range of motorsports, including speedway and Stadium Super Trucks both here and abroad.
But his links with the sport go deeper than that: back in the 1990s, he was a part of a couple of race teams, including a team that took part in the inaugural Adelaide 500 back in 1999!

Australian motorsport veteran David Russell joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.
Over two parts, the racer known as both ‘Coighty’ and ‘D-Russ’ takes us back through his diverse career behind the wheel, culminating in his reputation as one of Supercars’ top co-drivers.
In Part 2 he goes into his years as a hired gun for Supercars teams, including a long run with Kelly Racing that spanned its Holden and Nissan eras. Russell touches on his near-miss on a deal that would’ve landed him on the grid full-time in 2012, plus his infamous collision with a kangaroo in the early laps of the 2013 Bathurst 1000, and shares the story of a famously disastrous pre-Bathurst kayaking trip undertaken by the Kelly Racing enduro drivers!
He also covers his unexpected exit from Tickford in early 2019, success with Erebus Motorsport, and his decision to depart the team earlier this year only for them to win Bathurst.

Over two parts, the racer known as both ‘Coighty’ and ‘D-Russ’ takes us back through his diverse career behind the wheel, culminating in his reputation as one of Supercars’ top co-drivers.
In Part 1 he talks about his dad’s racing, why he didn’t go via the traditional karting route and starting his racing career in his mid-teens aboard two very different machines: a turbocharged Datsun Sports Sedan and a bog-standard Suzuki Swift!
He also covers his years in GT Production with Proton, the competition that kick-started his Supercars career, racing in the Bathurst 12 Hour, and some of the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing to move up the ladder.

Bathurst 1000 winner Todd Hazelwood – as he will now forever be introduced! – joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol for a look back at the remarkable path that his career has taken.
Hazelwood starts Part 2 reliving the year that he says “broke” him; the 2018 season where he and Matt Stone Racing stepped up to the Supercars Championship. He opens up on the challenges of that year and how it led to him having to leave the team at the end of the following year.
He talks about his two seasons with Brad Jones Racing, including his maiden Supercars pole and maiden podium finish - albeit one he regards with a bit of an asterisk - and his return to MSR for 2022. Hazelwood also goes in-depth on his switch to the Blanchard Racing Team for the inaugural season of Gen3 and it unravelled, before revealing just how bad co-driver Brodie Kostecki was feeling in the lead-up to their Bathurst 1000 victory - and just how bad Todd was feeling after it!

Bathurst 1000 winner Todd Hazelwood – as he will now forever be introduced! – joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol for a look back at the remarkable path that his career has taken.
In Part 1, we start with the present and his victory at this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000 with Brodie Kostecki and Erebus Motorsport, before delving back into the unusual path he took through the sport.
He opens up on his family’s pivotal role in getting him through the sport, from fundraising through sausage sizzles and memberships to remortgaging their home, and the key role an open-wheel racing champion played in his progression. We also cover his successful season on the reality TV show Shannons Supercar Showdown, and how it indirectly led to his first full-time Dunlop Series drive. He also reveals the white lie he told to secure that ride with Matt Stone Racing, and his very, very nervous wait through the first practice session for word from the bank...
