On The Grid

A WIDE-REACHING show this week as we chat to one team owner and one driver - both trying to make waves both here and abroad. 

Jayden Ojeda drops by for his long-promised chat about his career, getting through a Bathurst 1000 unscathed and what his future holds. 

Then Andy McElrea talks taking his Carrera Cup team to the United States, the reasoning behind it, hanging out with Mario Andretti and lots of fascinating insight into how he sees it all playing out. 

Then the boys talk the week that was, the week it will be and the many and varied Hot's and Not's of the weekend just gone.

CRAIG LOWNDES. Who better to help look back on the Great Race than one of the best of all time? CL swings past the On The Grid studios to talk everything Bathurst 2022, including how the Supercheap Wildcard unfolded, his own race pace, mentoring Declan Fraser through the weekend and how it made him reflect on his own debut, making smart decisions late on Sunday night and much more - it's a typically ripper chat with the great man.

Then Schibecs, Craillsy and Walker run through their own Bathurst stories, from long hours, the mud, the rain and the sunshine around it. Plus the weekly Hot and Nots which weren't particularly hard to work out, if we're honest.

It's another massive episode with one of the best in the business!
