This week Bathurst 1000 and Adelaide 500 winner Nick Percat joins the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Timken. In Part 1, Nick talks about his time at Walkinshaw Racing, capped by his 2011 Bathurst 1000 win with Garth Tander, and he opens up on the race that got him on Walkinshaw’s radar: the final Aussie Racing Cars race of the 2006 Gold Coast Indy, and how he initially wasn’t even going to start it! He also talks about making his full-time main game debut with Walkinshaw in 2014 – and the Dick Johnson Racing contract he turned down in the process.
