This week we’re debuting a new ‘mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol, featuring Mark Skaife talking about his favourite chassis from his Supercars career - HRT 045, the car known as ‘Golden Child’.
In this snippet, Skaifey talks about how he came to own the car, restoring it, his very first drive of it, how it got its nickname, and why he has such a soft spot for it.
This Mini came from Episode 16 back in 2019, our very first year of doing the V8 Sleuth Podcast. To listen to the rest of the chat, tap this link >> https://bit.ly/3yjYxyB
We also did another chat with Skaifey on Episode 76 in late 2020, which you can listen to here >> https://bit.ly/V8SPSkaife2

We’re talking to Riana Crehan for this week’s episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

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...
