We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal.

We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal. For the first part of our two-part chat, we wind back to his last visit - and all the things that were going on at that time that he couldn’t talk about! One of those things was his co-drive deal with Walkinshaw Andretti United, which had yet to be announced. We chat about the uncertainty he felt in the wake of being unexpectedly cut loose by Tickford at the end of 2020, how his deal to join WAU came together, plus a lot of inside stories of he and Mostert’s dominant weekend at Mount Panorama. We’ve never had a guest reference ‘Kevin Bloody Wilson’ on this podcast before, but we have now!  Lee also tells the story of how the team’s post-race inspection of the car revealed that their shot at victory came quite literally a centimetre from unravelling… V8 Sleuth Superstore >> https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ V8 Sleuth Podcast Plus >> https://v8sleuth.supportingcast.fm/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features Supercars race winner and two-time Super2 Series winner Dean Canto. A second-generation racer, we start the final leg of our two-part chat with Canto talking about his 2004 enduro drives with a pre-powerhouse Triple Eight, his 2005 Development Series title with Dick Johnson Racing, and the moment he feels cost him a shot at driving full-time for Triple Eight in 2006. We then cover his time at Garry Rogers Motorsport, a period that delivered his first and only solo Supercars race win, but it’s a period Canto doesn’t look back on too fondly – we’ll let him explain why… He opens up about the stunt driving school he ran with Luke Youlden, his Supercars co-driver era – including the time he and Youlden ended up both driving for FPR without either’s prior knowledge! – Bathurst 1000 heartbreaks with David Reynolds, their Gold Coast 600 triumph, and the plans for a third-generation racing Canto.

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features Supercars race winner and two-time Super2 Series winner Dean Canto. A second-generation racer, we start the first leg of our two-part chat with Canto talking about what he’s up to now and whether we’ll see him back in a racecar any time soon. We then look back through the early years of his career, from coming to prominence in - of all things - a Maserati Ghibli, to landing a drive in Supercars’ brand new second-tier series and going on to become its first champion. He then describes his rocky early years in the ‘main game’, including a false start with an elite squad in 2001, a couple of years of enduro co-drives followed by a shot at moving into the championship full-time for 2003. However, as he describes, it was hardly a dream situation for a rookie driver - one who’d been signed to a 10-year management contract...

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features rising Supercars racer Cameron Crick. The son of six-time Australian Truck Racing Champion Rodney, the second-generation racer’s story is one of perseverence. Crick talks about the grind that has been hand-and-hand with his rise through the sport, including his approach to securing sponsorship partners and delivering them value that is a must-listen for any aspiring young racer. He also opens up on the loss of his father, his memories of his father’s truck racing and a hilarious story about the chance to drive one of Rodney’s race trucks and how it came to a sudden end. Cam also details the point at which he nearly quit racing entirely during his debut Super2 season, and how he bounced back from that to make his Supercars debut and win this year’s Bathurst 6 Hour.

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features popular V8 Supercars and Super Touring privateer Cameron McLean. The Queenslander was a fixture of touring car racing grids in the 1990s and early 2000s in the yellow hues of Greenfield Mowers, initially in two-litre racing in a variety of ex-factory machines before making the leap to V8s with Ford Falcons. Among the second and final part of our two-part chat with Cam are his years of being a Supercars team co-owner, including his side of the story of his team’s car being seized and impounded in the middle of a race weekend. He also shares a sliding-doors moment that nearly led him to a full-time factory V8 Supercars drive, his time as a hired gun for the V8 enduros, and his scary roll in Carrera Cup at Queensland Raceway.

This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast comes from our chat with David Reynolds almost exactly five years ago in March 2020, when he visited Sleuth HQ with his chauffeur for the day - future Supercars champ (and his then enduro co-driver) Will Brown!

Two weeks after securing the 2007 Australian Carrera Cup Championship, Reynolds was competing in the Mount Buller Sprint with navigator Paul Flintoft. Their Elfin MS8 Clubman spun off the road and crashed down a 20 metre cliff, killing Flintoft and leaving Reynolds with head injuries.

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.

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!
