We’re talking to James Davison this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. A cousin to Supercars racers Will and Alex Davison, James shares a host of stories of how he carved out an overseas career that has included racing – and leading – the Indianapolis 500, a season in the NASCAR Cup Series, sports car racing, iconic Formula 1 cars and more. He took us inside some of the wheeling and dealing that got him his first IndyCar drive, a story that includes future F1 team boss and Supercars team co-owner Zak Brown, plus the chance meeting that led to his Indy 500 debut. He also chats about some of the friends he’s made along the way, a list that includes reigning F1 world champion Max Verstappen, and he also tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions.
