The V8 Sleuth Podcast

We’re talking to Gary Scott this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. In Part 2, Gary opens up on his tumultuous 1986 season with Nissan headlined by his pole-winning lap for the 1986 Bathurst 1000, his return to the HDT alongside Peter Brock and crashing the #05 Commodore at Lakeside – and the real reason he was at the HDT for such a short time – and his time with Mitsubishi, including the marque’s planned four-wheel drive turbo car that “would have made the Nissan GT-R look like a taxi” had it come to fruition, and Mark Trenoweth’s stunning Jaguar XJ-S Sports Sedan. He also answers your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions and tackles the V8 Sleuth Top 10 Shootout.

We’re talking to Gary Scott this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. In Part 1, the 1986 Bathurst 1000 polesitter talks about his stunning Hardies Heroes lap, tells stories from growing up around motorsport in Queensland in the 1960s as the son of racer Glyn Scott, racing motorbikes as a teen with good mate Gregg Hansford, and the impact of the loss of his dad in a racing crash that happened right in front of him and how it caused him to walk away from the sport for several years. He also chats about trying to climb the ladder to F1 in England, and returning home without a plan to keep racing, only to land seats with the Holden Dealer Team and Nissan Motorsport.

This week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco we’re chatting about a Classic Car: one that has a special place in the hearts of Holden Racing Team and Craig Lowndes fans. HRT 033 – aka Gabrielle – caused a sensation when it debuted during the 1996 ATCC, featuring a CAD-designed roll cage with a distinctive ‘Petty Bar’ that was subsequently banned from being used in any other car. We chat about the car’s incredibly successful – yet surprisingly brief – competitive life, its two sizable shunts, and where it is on the road to restoration.
