The V8 Sleuth Podcast

This week 2012 Bathurst 1000 winner Paul Dumbrell joins us on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Timken. In Part 1, ‘PD’ talks about V8 Supercars, NASCARs, AUSCARs and Formula Holdens all when he was still just 16 years of age, his early years racing Supercars full-time for Larry Perkins – including a time he pushed LP’s patience a little too far, plus a few stories that illustrate that poor PD is a bit accident-prone – and that ‘Doctor Whincup’ should probably stick to driving!
