We’ve had a fantastic chat with Aussie ex-pat Bryce Seales on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

A veteran of the Australian and United States racing scenes, Seales has been on staff at NASCAR Cup Series squad Trackhouse Racing for several years. He very generously interrupted a holiday back at home to drop into V8 Sleuth headquarters to tell a few stories, and we’re releasing the last two parts of our chat this week.

In Part 4, Seales shares more stories from his time with the Holden Racing Team and Walkinshaw Racing, including his take on why the team hit a rough patch in the 2010s, and the special career milestone he was able to achieve with the Perkins family in 2015.

He also discusses the reasons behind his return to the United States in the mid-2010s - and hails an important topic brought up by his former HRT teammate Scott Sinclair during his visit to the V8 Sleuth pod last year - and his years with Chip Ganassi’s NASCAR team.

We’re releasing the last two parts this week. In Part 3, Seales talks about moving back to the United States after landing a gig in the CART World Series and shares some stories that highlight the vast amount of money that engine manufacturers burned through in pursuit of horsepower, as well as a sad tale of what might have been amid a tragic period for the championship.

He also talks about his brief stint in the Indy Racing League working for Eddie Cheever, a bizarre job interview with a leading open-wheel team, and making his way back to Australia and returning to Supercars with PWR Racing and the Holden Racing Team.

A veteran of the Australian and United States racing scenes, Seales has been on staff at NASCAR Cup Series squad Trackhouse Racing for several years. He very generously interrupted a holiday back at home to drop into V8 Sleuth headquarters to tell a few stories, and we’re releasing the first two parts of our chat this week.

In Part 2, Seales talks about getting started in touring car racing with Murray Carter prior to departing overseas, and how it led him to land a job with Glenn Seton Racing upon his return in the early 1990s. He shares his view on the team’s rollercoaster seasons running Falcons in Peter Jackson colours, from winning the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1993 to Seton’s heartbreaking Bathurst loss in 1995.

We then cover off his years at Perkins Engineering, from his job interview with Larry Perkins to working on Russell Ingall’s car throughout the 1996 and 1997 seasons, culminating in victory in the Bathurst 1000 - and another move overseas!

We’re releasing the first two parts this week. In Part 1, Seales shares an interesting insight into Trackhouse Racing and in particular its owner Justin Marks, plus Shane van Gisbergen’s impact on the NASCAR scene from an insider’s perspective.

We then go back to how he got started in racing, fielding a Ford Cortina in the Appendix J support race at Mount Panorama, doing a job interview with the Lotus Formula 1 team at the Adelaide Grand Prix, and how a stint overseas led to an unlikely meeting with one of the most iconic cars in Australian touring car racing.
