Yes, there's some of the usual nonsense this week (see ep title). But the boys can also, finally, talk about going racing again! Formats, calendar, tracksuit pants... we've got it all covered.

Carus and Reynolds catch up with Holden legend, Simon McNamara. The boys discuss everything from his passion for Motor Racing, to the Special Silver Holden Ute and the driver that surprisingly knocked back an offer to drive for the Holden Racing Team in its golden era. We love chatting to those who have been instrumental behind the scenes and Simon is definitely one of those!

Circle the end of June on your calendar, crew. We're going racing again – and boy are we excited. To celebrate lads take a close look at the new 2020/21 schedule, speculate about formats, spare a thought for a luckless Will Davison and hear all about why Reynolds thinks Bill Gates started the coronavirus.

We love our fan question shows and in this episode we cover it all from whether reverse grids should make a come back, to relationship advice from Dr Love himself, David Reynolds.

Everyone knows you get the best scoops at the toilet block, right? The boys chat Holden closure, Team Sydney, debrief the Adelaide 500 and generally try and fix the sport (as usual).

As our second season gets underway, Professor Reynolds tackles the big topics like childhood obesity and the how to evaluate aero by eye. The boys also chat new liveries, new shocks, title favourites and pick who they think will win the greatest prize of all – The Below the Bonnet Co-Driver Cup.

The shrinking violet (cough) that is Tony Cochrane joins to lads to explain his journey from a school drop-out running a lighting business in Adelaide to the godfather of modern Supercars racing. What (and who) forced him out? What would he do to improve the sport right now? And which press conference line does he admit made him look like a goose?

Greg Murphy. The man who missed a gear and still set the original Lap of the Gods. The undisputed King of Pukekohe. The fierce competitor that made the likes of Skaife and Ambrose sweat. But how does he go in a Mustang convertible in the snow? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out...

Oh boy. In hindsight, having the Below the Bonnet Christmas party before recording was a bad idea. It did make for some fun banter, though, with the boys chatting about a wide range of topics including water-cooled brakes, Koala anatomy, and Willy and The Juice.

That's this week's community service announcement from David Reynolds. No worries for our special guest Garth Tander, he can keep the inaugural Co-Drivers Cup trophy forever. The Champ gets his valves lifting as he helps the lads unpack a dramatic Sandown 500 weekend.

With the seriousness of Bathurst behind us, it's back to a bit of light-hearted banter from the boys. They unpack a car-destroying Gold Coast, look forward to a title-deciding Sandown 500 (for the co-drivers, that is) and Reynolds reveals the bizarre origin story of his new road safety initiative.

With the Below the Bonnet social inboxes stuffed full of Fabian Barrichello and Ryan Bria-story memes, the boys have a go at unravelling the team orders controversy that rocked the 2019 Bathurst 1000.

The 2019 Bathurst 1000 is here and the boys are pumped. In the lead-up to the big dance they analyse the form, talk through some of the big changes, and answer the age old question – would you rather win Bathurst or lotto?

Hmmm, what to talk about this week? The lads bicker about the latest wave of aero changes, rib 'Decade Dave' about his new deal, and do their very best to try and work out WTF actually happened last Sunday afternoon.

We love questions from our listeners – so we dedicated a whole episode to it. Does Reynolds wear undies in the car? What's being a race driver really like? When is Shane van Gisbergen coming on the show. We answer all that and much, much more.

Knock knock. It's the boys from Below the Bonnet, back on the couch. This week we chat about drunk dialling, going round The Bend, Gold Coast balconies, the 2020 Supercars calendar, and how a big donk may just trump a big rear wing at the big dance in October.

Mark Skaife parks himself on the couch to chat retirement, helmet-grinding shunts, old school square-ups, the Woomera goat track and his infamous purple Statesman incident.
