We’re continuing our chat with veteran engineer Phil Keed for this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

The second and final part of our two-part chat covers the Supercars part of his career, which began when he joined the championship full-time in 2003. Keed covers his years at Team Brock and PWR and the relationship he built with Jason Bright, and how it evolved across stints across three different teams. He also shares stories from his time at Ford Performance Racing, why he shifted to Brad Jones Racing, how he and Fabian Coulthard came to separately move to DJR Team Penske at the same time and how it all ended, starting again at Team 18 and returning to his current home engineering Bryce Fullwood at BJR.

We’re talking to veteran engineer Phil Keed for this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

Although he’s long been a fixture within the Supercars paddock, the first part of our two-part chat looks back at his career prior to joining the championship full-time in 2003. 

Keed talks about where his passion for motorsport came from, and how he got his start in the industry by cold-calling Colin Bond’s workshop while he was still in high school! He shares stories of going to Bathurst with the team, and why they pointed him in the direction of becoming an engineer instead of a mechanic.

He also shares a heap of incredible stories from his years in rallying, where he rose from working for Ralliart in Australia to becoming multiple world champion Tommi Makinen’s engineer at the Prodrive-run Subaru World Rally Team.

This week’s V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol continues Garth Tander’s first visit to the show since 2019.

The second and final part of our chat picks up with more memories from his time racing Formula Ford, beginning with a hilarious story about a tangle with Marcos Ambrose and the reception they copped from both of their dads when they returned to the pits.

He also shares the story of how he slept in on the day of his evaluation test with Garry Rogers Motorsport, as well as his reaction to Garry Rogers’ infamous dress-ups during his early years with the team, plus his continuing confusion over why his first Supercars race win was reawarded to John Bowe.

We also talk about his role behind a microphone instead of a steering wheel, his take on Shane van Gisbergen’s NASCAR move, and a trip through his three biggest fines from his racing career.
