This week’s ‘mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Dick Johnson talking about how his team built what were widely renowned as the world’s fastest Ford Sierra touring cars in the late 1980s.
In this snippet, Dick talks about how he initially had to buy management system chips from Andy Rouse, their very blunt parting of the ways and how the team was able to go its own way on developing the turbocharged rockets, culminating in DJR’s ‘ego trip’ to the 1988 Silverstone TT to take on Rouse and the factory-backed Eggenberger cars.
This Mini came from Episode 14 back in 2019 when we were talking to Dick ahead of writing the sold-out, limited-edition book ‘Dick Johnson Racing/DJR Team Penske: 40 Years of Cars - 1980-2019’.

We’re talking to Andrew Miedecke for this week’s episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol – and we’re releasing both parts at the same time!
In the first part of our two-part chat, he talks about choosing racing cars over horses in his native Tasmania, the story behind a one-off ATCC start in a Volvo in 1971, getting serious in open-wheel racing and trying to go overseas, getting into the car sales business and moving to Port Macquarie, returning to racing in the 1980s and earning the nickname ‘Mad Andy’, and finally hitting the big-time in touring cars with a Ford Sierra run on a shoestring budget.

With the King’s Birthday long weekend coming up, we’re looking back at a unique slice of Supercars history that traditionally fell on that public holiday weekend on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol. The Canberra 400 only ran for three years (2000-2002) but left an incredible impression on fans and drivers – mainly for how cold it was! We look back through the event’s brief history, from the memorable races and results, the controversies, the massive shunts, and some of the weird things that happened.

We’re talking to Riana Crehan for this week’s episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.
She last visited the podcast in late 2020 on Episode 83 (tap here to listen!) and plenty has happened since then!

We also talk about the odds of her getting behind the wheel of podcast friend Richard Craill’s Aussie Racing Car – although keep in mind, this episode was recorded and produced prior to the car’s unfortunate accident at Wanneroo last weekend...

We’re talking to Paul Radisich for this week’s episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol – and we’re releasing both parts at the same time!
The second part of our two-part chat looks at his years racing in Supercars, beginning with how his four-year stint at Dick Johnson Racing was originally a one-year deal and how he tried to make the switch to another top Ford team after that 1999 season, his aggressive driving style, the dramatic win at the 2001 Queensland 500 and equally as dramatic heartbreak at the 1999 Bathurst 1000.
Radisich also opens up about his years at Briggs Motor Sport and his role in bringing Triple Eight into Supercars, his podium finish with Team Kiwi Racing, and the aftermath of his two horrific crashes at Bathurst in 2006 and 2008, as well as tackling your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions.
