I started the year with an interview with Taylor Gill, who was runner-up in last year’s World Junior Rally Championship.

Since then he has picked up the Sir Jack Brabham Award that recognises outstanding achievement and success by an Australian motorsport competitor at the international level.

I caught up with Taylor this week on a zoom call - he is currently based in Finland - to talk about his debut WRC2 rally and his 4th place result behind three local teams.

We also have a chat about the rallies scheduled for later in the year.

Episode 189 Sydney Harbour Concours Preview

February has become the traditional month for the Sydney Harbour Concours and I speak with the founder, James Nicholls, to get a sneak peak of the cars on show and the event structure.

We talk about the themes for each of the three days and the concours groupings from the interwar years through Italian design to James’ own version of the Ashes: Australian muscle cars versus refined grand tourers from the UK.

Drive day on the 26th

Main events - 27th to the 1st March.
