We’re bringing you the second half of our chat with Tony D’Alberto on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In the final part of a two-part chat, he talks about the end of Tony D’Alberto Racing and the move into the co-driver phase of his Supercars career.

He shares the story behind his first podium finish in V8 Supercars and how it was overshadowed by a personal tragedy, and chats about online trolls, his side of the controversial conclusion to the 2019 Bathurst 1000, and a Supercars race victory that got away. Tony also opens up about his time with DJR Team Penske and Dick Johnson Racing, and what it means to him to have been a fixture at the squad for eight seasons.

We also chat about his championship victory in the TCR Australia Series and how he got involved in the category, and the hands-on role he has in his family’s business when he’s away from the racetrack. He also tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions and the V8 Sleuth Top 10 Shootout.

We’re talking to Tony D’Alberto on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In the first part of a two-part chat, he talks about his family’s history in motorsport and with Holden, racing karts as a family team and briefly progressing to Formula Ford before jumping into V8 Supercars with Holden Young Lions.

He shares a funny story about his first drive of a V8 Supercar at Morgan Park with his new team boss John Faulkner in the passenger’s seat, and the eventual decision to go back to a family-run squad to progress his career and the story of his Development Series title win in 2007. Part 1 wraps up with the rough welcome he received upon his graduation to the ‘main game’ in 2008 and his early years in the V8 Supercars Championship.

We’re bringing you the second half of our chat with Dale Wood on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In this ep, he talks about making it to the ‘main game’ with Kelly Racing and the way he found out he was being replaced mid-way through his rookie season, his return to the Dunlop Series and his title-winning season in 2013. He then chats about his second spell in the Supercars Championship, driving for Brad Jones Racing, Kelly Racing and Erebus Motorsport, and opens up on a 2017 that he describes as the ‘worst year of his life’.

We’re talking to Dale Wood on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. Woody’s a brilliant storyteller, as you’ll hear in the first part of our two-part chat. He talks about growing up around motorsport through his dad’s racing, then going racing himself in motocross, karting and Formula Ford – the latter in an RF87 Van Diemen previously raced by F1 star Eddie Irvine! He also talks about jumping on a trampoline with then-Formula BMW racer Daniel Ricciardo, his persistence in pursuing a sponsor that went on to back him all the way into V8 Supercars, as well as a hilarious tale where he very bluntly brushed off someone he believed was in a Development Series rival’s entourage, only to find out it was a top V8 team owner!
