RACE CONTROL: A new addition to the V8 Sleuth Podcast, Aaron Noonan chats with Supercars’ Driving Standards Advisor, Motorsport Australia’s Craig Baird, who explains all the details behind the calls made in Race Control during the latest Supercars round.

Included in this post-2023 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 edition:

- David Reynolds cutting the first chicane while battling to hold off Brodie Kostecki for the win on the final lap of the Sunday race

- James Golding’s flick-spin on the exit of the first chicane that led to Scott Pye hitting the wall late in the Sunday race

- Matt Payne and James Courtney’s showdown at the Beach Chicane during the Saturday race that resulted in a five-second time penalty for Payne

- Contact between Andre Heimgartner and Todd Hazelwood late in the Sunday race that resulted in a 15-second time penalty for Heimgartner.

- The new kerb-hop sensors, bad sportsmanship flags, and why drivers, teams and fans aren’t told just how many kerb-hops a driver has left

- The big misconception about what the bad sportsmanship flag actually means for how many ‘lives’ a driver has left

- Barry Ryan’s suggestion on something MotoGP does that Supercars could employ to balance out chicane-cutting
