The V8 Sleuth Podcast

With the King’s Birthday long weekend coming up, we’re looking back at a unique slice of Supercars history that traditionally fell on that public holiday weekend on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol. The Canberra 400 only ran for three years (2000-2002) but left an incredible impression on fans and drivers – mainly for how cold it was! We look back through the event’s brief history, from the memorable races and results, the controversies, the massive shunts, and some of the weird things that happened.

For this Ryco Rewind we're going back to the Mallala round of the 1996 Shell Australian Touring Car Championship, a memorable one for Craig Lowndes that largely overshadows the carnage amid the day he clinched his first ATCC/Supercars title.

This week, the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol winds back four decades for a look at the 1984 motorsport year, touching on the big topics and happenings in motorsport in Australia and around the world, from the end of the Group C touring car era, the vast changes to Sandown, the last standalone Australian Grand Prix, Ayrton Senna’s arrival in Formula 1, and the failed touring car street race enduro scheduled for that Easter.

We’re talking to Riana Crehan for this week’s episodes of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

She last visited the podcast in late 2020 on Episode 83 (tap here to listen!) and plenty has happened since then! Riana shares stories of her time on reality show SAS Australia, her return to the Supercars broadcast team and some insights into the parts of her role that you don’t see on TV, how she and Will Davison don’t actually see much of each other during race weekends, and talk about their young son Dash.

We also talk about the odds of her getting behind the wheel of podcast friend Richard Craill’s Aussie Racing Car – although keep in mind, this episode was recorded and produced prior to the car’s unfortunate accident at Wanneroo last weekend...
