Rusty was a massive fan of the British Touring Car Championship in the 90’s (he’s still got the VHS tapes) so when he arrived at Bathurst recently and saw Gabriele there, he had to chat with him. A star in karts, he had no real intention of going car racing! Some practice laps in an open wheeler changed that and Gabriele went all the way to Formula 1. Sadly the F1 cars he raced weren’t great for showcasing his talent but in a Touring Car he was something else. His little known meeting with the legendary Enzo Ferrari, memories of that iconic Alfa Romeo 155 in the BTCC & much more.

The Bargwanna’s have been around Motorsport for a long time, we chart their history and relive Jason’s early years which involved taking big punts and often running on a tank filled with nothing more than pure enthusiasm. Those learnings still help him in business today and Ben is doing the hard yards just like his old man did. How growing up around cars and racing set both of them on this path, what it means to represent Australia and the influence of the late Peter Brock.

In the lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island we have none other than the The voice of MotoGP. Nick Harris spent decades on the tour working as a commentator, journalist, in PR and amongst it all, he found time to become a best selling author. You’ll be spellbound by the stories of working with the all-time greats in a career that takes in both a golden era of 500cc racing and almost two decades of the new 4 stroke chapter, now producing some of the most competitive racing we’ve seen. And he opens up on the difficulties of ‘rolling off the throttle’ when he stopped commentating on motorcycle racing’s premier class. Rusty really should have done this pod ages ago, in the Island Media Centre after Nick hosted one of his countless Press Conferences in unmistakable Harris style. But, the time is now for you to enjoy tales from almost 50 years working around the sport. From phoning through reports and telexes to the the call he took about Eddie Lawson joining the Honda team that Wayne Gardner never knew about!
