Tickford Racing chief Simon Brookhouse joins us for this edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum.

While he’d not been directly involved in motorsport prior to being recruited as Tickford’s CEO in early 2024, Brookhouse explains his background in other sports as well his own visits to Mount Panorama in his younger days.

He also talks about some of the challenges that faces Supercars as a sport in the future – including one unexpected area that is becoming an increasing issue for teams – Triple Eight’s arrival as Ford’s homologation team for 2026, the repeated rumours over Tickford being sold and his take on whether the sport’s future is with private equity owning teams, the future of Super2 and building brand new cars for it, the team’s long-mooted move from its Campbellfield home, and plenty more.
