This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Nathan Pretty sharing a couple of tales from his rookie season in Supercars.
In this snippet, Pretty talks about a wild moment in the early laps of the first race at the 1999 Winton round, where he and sister Nicole used an old Thunderdome trick to avoid a host of crashing cars to vault, Steven Bradbury-style, from the back of the field to the front!
He also shares his side of the Bathurst practice crash later that year that led to Larry Perkins’ now-infamous synopsis: “Young bloke, cold tyres, f***ed up.”
This Mini came from Episode 212 back in 2020, the first of a two-part chat with Pretty about his career. To listen to the rest of the chat, tap this link >> https://bit.ly/4iIf1Dh

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol looks back at the rise and fall of one of Australian motorsport’s most exciting categories: AUSCAR.
Created as the second-tier category at Bob Jane’s Calder Park Thunderdome, AUSCAR quickly became a star attraction in its own right through a simple formula that had, at the time, disappeared from Australian circuits: V8 Holdens and Fords racing head to head.
We chat about how it came about, the star drivers, what triggered its downfall, where some of the cars went, and share your memories from an incredible period of racing.

He’s back! Supercars hero Greg Murphy makes his second visit to the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol for this week’s episode.
A lot has happened since his debut appearance on the pod back in 2020 so there’s plenty to talk about.
Among the topics is talking about all the fun he had in the V8 Sleuth Heritage Revival at this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000, and plenty of chat about the upcoming Taupō Historic GP and some of the incredible cars and drivers that will be on hand for the event on January 11-12.
We also grill him on some Supercars topics, including his thoughts on the new Finals system and Richie Stanaway’s move to PremiAir for 2025, and get him talking about a few things from his career that we didn’t get a chance to ask about the first time around.

In Will’s defence, he had an extremely lucrative reason for doing so…

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.

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...
