Rusty was a massive fan of the British Touring Car Championship in the 90’s (he’s still got the VHS tapes) so when he arrived at Bathurst recently and saw Gabriele there, he had to chat with him.

A star in karts, he had no real intention of going car racing! Some practice laps in an open wheeler changed that and Gabriele went all the way to Formula 1. Sadly the F1 cars he raced weren’t great for showcasing his talent but in a Touring Car he was something else.

His little known meeting with the legendary Enzo Ferrari, memories of that iconic Alfa Romeo 155 in the BTCC & much more.
