We then play 'The Simon Special' (previously known as Red Corner Vs Blue Corner). Matt gives Mitch and Joseph 2 cars, and we have to guess what they are and pick the one we'd have. Mitch then reads out Simon's email in which he rips into Matt, which is great.

We then talk about BMW upping the Z4's power by 35kw only 6 months after the Z4's launch, Joseph then complains that Toyota doesn't offer a manual in the Mk5 Supra despite BMW having a manual on the shelf for it.

Mitch then talks about FCA partnering up with PSA in a 50/50 merger, and the VW Australia boss saying that GM should kill off the 'Holden' brand locally and replace it with Chevrolet or GM, as almost all good-will towards the Holden brand is basically in the dirt.

Matt and Joseph then talk about the new Nissan Navara N Trek,  which is just a fancy Navara that still has the rubbish Renault engine.

Matt talks about Melbourne getting a new racetrack in the next couple of years, and it looks like it'll be a hoot.

We then talk about Holden officially that they are killing off the Commodore, and the Astra, saying that they won't be building any more and letting the current stock dry up into 2020; it will not be replaced. Instead, Holden plan to focus on SUVs and Utes.

We kick off this week with a bit of beer talk and general nonsense before breaking into a bit of supercar SUV news, and Mitch triggers the other two by talking shit about Maserati.

Matt then talks about Asetto Corsa and his recent attempt at racing a Formula 1 car around Bathurst, and Matt confuses himself and the rest of us by talking about Supercars when he meant Formula 1's, we then talk about Formula 1's in general and the changes to the rules from 2021, and Joseph talks about tyres.

Matt then asks a question to you, our awesome audience, about what benefit 9-blade turbos have over 11/12-blade turbos.

Then Mitch drops a bombshell on the Matt and Joseph, as he has bought a 1993 Honda DC4 Integra.

We're back for ep123! Sorry it's a bit of a shorter one this week, Matt and Mitch were really tired from each having a big week.

Joseph then talks about his plans to run his GT86 in WTAC in 2021, and what'll be required for him to meet the requirements to compete, we then tangent a bit to talking about Hyundai and their foray into WTAC with the Drift Bus iMax and their actual time-attack i30N.

We then actually talk about World Time Attack Challenge 2019, and the issues surrounding the Yokohama tyres that don't appear to be handling the greater and greater loads that the Pro-Class players are putting the tyres under.

Matt then drops a bombshell on all of us.
