Craig Lowndes joins us fresh from the Vailo Adelaide 500 launch with the incredible news that Sprintcar Racing will be part of this year's event offering. This includes Supercross, Stadium Super Trucks, and performances by Crowded House and Cold Chisel in celebration of their 50th anniversary!
We'll also have a debrief on his Triple 8 wildcard test this week, along with insider details on his preparation for one of the biggest off-road events of the season: Finke.
Joining us as well is Toby Bellbowen from Sprintcar Hub. He'll discuss the temporary Sprintcar track, the immense effort involved in this project, and the key racers participating. We'll explore whether this concept is a one-time event or something both sports can grow as part of the award-winning Adelaide 500 show.
Toby will also update us on Sydney Speedway. After a series of issues, can the new replacement for the legendary old Parramatta track finally deliver an uninterrupted summer of racing that fans will truly enjoy?

The Motorsport Brief - Speedway at the Supercars Season Finale

The two-time Australian Rally Champion who grew up in a sporting family and thrives on competition! Rob Herridge's early life around the family farm in Western Australia served as his apprenticeship for what he now calls himself—a "pretend-gineer." Though he may lack a formal qualification, the resourcefulness and precision he learned were perfect skills for motorsport preparation.
Herridge was a late bloomer to rallying but not to speed sports. You'll hear about how he blocked pain through sheer determination to beat a record in barefoot waterskiing before channeling that thirst for success into power boating.
Additionally, he learned a brutal lesson from his uncle as a teenager on what it takes to win in his other pastime, clay target shooting!

Rob Herridge - Part 1

Rob’s been a commentator over the years (can you tell?), and he loves a good story, so we're only just shifting into second gear in this chat!
Discover how Herridge jumped into rallying on a whim, convinced he was world champion material on the very first transport stage! Learn about the Datsun 1600 that started it all, his near switch to Mitsubishi, and the ultimate move to Subaru, sparking a partnership that’s lasted for decades.
We recorded this episode in the workshop, surrounded by cars Rob has worked on and won in. The attachment to some of them is understandable, especially when you hear the story of how Rob clinched his second Australian title before officially receiving the first. Despite a lengthy and draining court battle, he never gave up.
Special thanks to Rob James and Adelaide Hawkins from Motorsport Australia, who assisted with this episode while filming a TV story for an upcoming round of the Australian Rally Championship.

Rob Herridge - Part 2

Building Maximum Motorsport into a ‘go-to’ race and rally car preparation business with a Subaru focus.
The emergence of his son Dean as a driver and how the pair form a Yin and Yang partnership at Maximum, which is now an authorized Subie Motorsport Parts Dealer. Creating gravel notes for legends like Colin McRae and Ari Vatanen in New Zealand and nearly destroying the pace notes in a photocopier!
Winning an Australian title without a handbrake! Who needs a handbrake in rallying anyway? It’s just extra weight. How Safari competition in cleverly modified Forester and XV models has quenched his easing thirst for driving. Rob turned 70 just days before we recorded, so will he ever truly ease off the throttle?

Rob Herridge - Part 3

This week's special bonus episode features former racer turned expert commentator Townsend Bell, who joins us to analyse the 2024 field as the build-up to the Greatest Spectacle in Motor Racing continues.
We discuss some observations from the month of May, including former Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin's pole position with a record-breaking run. We also consider the chances of Aussie Will Power drinking the winner’s milk again. Don't miss our shortcast in the Garage library with Will, which we dropped recently.
We cover other drivers from this part of the world, such as 2008 winner Scott Dixon, former Ferrari Academy driver Marcus Armstrong who is now with Chip Ganassi Racing, and Tom Blomqvist, the Daytona 24 Hour winner raised in Auckland.
We also delve into the Penske push to pass scandal and what rivals think about it. Plus, we share early impressions of Kyle Larson as he chases both the Indy 500 and the NASCAR race in Charlotte on the last weekend of the month.
Lastly, we talk about how Townsend, James Hinchcliffe, and our mate Leigh Diffey get through the big day on-air.
