Shell V-Power Racing wildcard driver Simona de Silvestro is back and she will turn heads at the Bathurst 1000 in her Yellow Mustang with Kai Allen. 

Ahead of her first Bathurst 1000 start since 2019, the energetic Simona de Silvestro joins Rusty to discuss the opportunity with DJR, the preparation and the Great Race itself. Plus, a little look ahead to the 2026 Winter Olympics, and what might be possible in a bobsled. 

As well as the latest from the Japanese Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo's return to full fitness and what next for Kiwi Liam Lawson? Shane van Gisbergen gets his zing back in Daybreaker Rally in NZ and Jett Lawrence takes out the 2023 SMX season final at the Coliseum.
