The V8 Sleuth Podcast

We’re talking to veteran motorsport media identity David Hassall this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. ‘Hass’ shares a heap of tales from across his six decades around motorsport, from his start as a Victorian hillclimb reporter at Racing Car News through to his roles as editor of Auto Action and founding editor of both Motorsport News and Australian Motor Racing Magazine, and the close relationships he formed with icons of the sport such as Peter Brock and Allan Moffat – and the time he was run over by Captain Peter Janson on live TV!

We’re talking to Nathan Pretty this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. In Part 2, Nathan talks about racing for three different factory Holden teams in 2002, shares stories about racing the Garry Rogers Motorsport-built Nations Cup Holden Monaro 427C and his little mishap during the Bathurst 24 Hour, and racing with Peter Brock as a teammate both in rallying and circuit racing. He also talks about his loyalty to Holden – and the opportunities to race a Ford that he turned down – and what hampered him in his one shot at a full time V8 Supercars drive. Nathan also chats about his 2006 Development Series and the comments that led him to copping a massive pull-through over the phone from Larry Perkins, his final years in V8 Supercars and his years in V8 Utes – and chats about his ‘good friend’ Randy Corners. He also tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions and our V8 Sleuth Top 10 Shootout.
