FORD found themselves back in victory lane in the Perth Supersprint last weekend, their first wins of the 2024 season. We welcome Ford's Motorsport Engineering lead, Brendan McGinniskin, to the show to discuss their rise to victory for the first time this year, plus how the global elements of Ford Motorsport are contributing to their Aussie program - and vice-versa. 
Then we debrief the weekend that was - including the proverbial elephant in the room about a certain Aussie Racing Car - and work through the Hot's and Not's of the event, including a deep-dive into what the Supersprint format is lacking after seeing it live. 
All that, plus F1, NASCAR and IndyCar from qualifying at the '500 - it's another big show.
