Below the Bonnet

Oh boy. In hindsight, having the Below the Bonnet Christmas party before recording was a bad idea. It did make for some fun banter, though, with the boys chatting about a wide range of topics including water-cooled brakes, Koala anatomy, and Willy and The Juice.

That's this week's community service announcement from David Reynolds. No worries for our special guest Garth Tander, he can keep the inaugural Co-Drivers Cup trophy forever. The Champ gets his valves lifting as he helps the lads unpack a dramatic Sandown 500 weekend.

With the seriousness of Bathurst behind us, it's back to a bit of light-hearted banter from the boys. They unpack a car-destroying Gold Coast, look forward to a title-deciding Sandown 500 (for the co-drivers, that is) and Reynolds reveals the bizarre origin story of his new road safety initiative.

With the Below the Bonnet social inboxes stuffed full of Fabian Barrichello and Ryan Bria-story memes, the boys have a go at unravelling the team orders controversy that rocked the 2019 Bathurst 1000.

The 2019 Bathurst 1000 is here and the boys are pumped. In the lead-up to the big dance they analyse the form, talk through some of the big changes, and answer the age old question – would you rather win Bathurst or lotto?

Hmmm, what to talk about this week? The lads bicker about the latest wave of aero changes, rib 'Decade Dave' about his new deal, and do their very best to try and work out WTF actually happened last Sunday afternoon.

Mark Skaife parks himself on the couch to chat retirement, helmet-grinding shunts, old school square-ups, the Woomera goat track and his infamous purple Statesman incident.

Dave and Michael sit down with Betty and Daniel Klimenko to chat about their love for motor racing. Find out why Daniel is known as the ‘modern day Nostradamus’ and the three rules that Betty makes Dave live by. Also, find out what drives Caruse to push even harder on track these days. Go on, Avo listen

Have the #podcastwars revived the good old days of Ford vs Holden? And if Scotty and Reynolds both love Murph, who is playing the part of Marcos Ambrose in the modern-day version? Caruso returns to the Supercars grid and into the top ten, but will he say yes to GRM and continue? We answer those questions and plenty more in our wrap-up of a fiery affair in Townsville.

No, not parity. Actual pee. The boys get sidetracked by Bathurst mid-stint toilet habits, but also squeeze in some chat about the new Holden aero, Caruso's wild airborne ride, Chaz Mostert and Fabian Coulthard's futures and answer some listener questions.
