Below the Bonnet

Circle the end of June on your calendar, crew. We're going racing again – and boy are we excited. To celebrate lads take a close look at the new 2020/21 schedule, speculate about formats, spare a thought for a luckless Will Davison and hear all about why Reynolds thinks Bill Gates started the coronavirus.

We love our fan question shows and in this episode we cover it all from whether reverse grids should make a come back, to relationship advice from Dr Love himself, David Reynolds. AVL lets us in on what he finds to be the most difficult part of reporting supercars news and Carus explains what he would like to see in a race track if he was building it.

Cam Waters joins the pod and talks with Carus and Dave about his car build project, how he keeps fit in isolation and what he'd like to see in Supercars. Dave tells us about his experiences as a driver coach and Carus predicts a change in the Supercars landscape when we come back from Corona.

Carus and Dave finally catch up after a COVID scare for Reynolds. The boy's cover the Supercars E Series starting next week, Carus trying to make it in the TikTok world, drivers taking pay cuts and even managed to catch AVL before he jumped the border.

The boys reflect on a surreal week for the sport, while the Australian Grand Prix boss Andrew Westacott takes our call to talk through the race cancellation. There’s also conspiracy theories, Esports and much more.

Ryan Walkinshaw returns - and promptly points out how close Reynolds lives to a Melbourne cultural icon. There’s also chat about Holden, Coronavirus and, of course, the c-word (whisper it, Camaro).

Everyone knows you get the best scoops at the toilet block, right? The boys chat Holden closure, Team Sydney, debrief the Adelaide 500 and generally try and fix the sport (as usual).

As our second season gets underway, Professor Reynolds tackles the big topics like childhood obesity and the how to evaluate aero by eye. The boys also chat new liveries, new shocks, title favourites and pick who they think will win the greatest prize of all – The Below the Bonnet Co-Driver Cup.

The shrinking violet (cough) that is Tony Cochrane joins to lads to explain his journey from a school drop-out running a lighting business in Adelaide to the godfather of modern Supercars racing. What (and who) forced him out? What would he do to improve the sport right now? And which press conference line does he admit made him look like a goose?

Greg Murphy. The man who missed a gear and still set the original Lap of the Gods. The undisputed King of Pukekohe. The fierce competitor that made the likes of Skaife and Ambrose sweat. But how does he go in a Mustang convertible in the snow? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out...
