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!
