The V8 Sleuth Podcast

This week's ‘mini' edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Jason Bargwanna talking about his year with the Holden Young Lions program in 1997. In this snippet, Bargs talks about how much it cost to be in the program, what was involved, how he nearly ended up in the main Holden Racing Team car at Bathurst, plus his rollercoaster weekend at The Great Race when he put the HYL car on provisional pole then crashed heavily in the morning warm-up. This Mini came from Episode 27 back in 2020.

We've had an incredible chat with George Smith that set a new benchmark for the longest recording in the history of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol. He shared so many stories from a career in the sport that has seen him in the middle of many of its most memorable and iconic moments that he and Noonz ended up chatting for almost four hours (!) and we're releasing the first two parts this week. In Part 2, he talks about Colin Bond's defection from the Holden Dealer Team to Moffat Ford Dealers for 1977 and shares an incredible story about an unexpected mechanical problem that hit Allan Moffat's #1 Falcon on the morning of that year's Bathurst 1000. He then talks about his move to Datsun/Nissan, initially to work on its rally cars before being a foundation member of its Bluebird Group C touring car program - and he shares a few tales and confirms/dispels a few myths and rumours about the hidden technical trickery the turbocharged rockets possessed.  Find the right Castrol product for your vehicle or equipment here with the Castrol Product Finder >> https://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/home/oil-selector.html V8 Sleuth Superstore >> https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ Learn more about your ad choices.

We've had an incredible chat with George Smith that set a new benchmark for the longest recording in the history of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol. He shared so many stories from a career in the sport that has seen him in the middle of many of its most memorable and iconic moments that he and Noonz ended up chatting for almost four hours! We're releasing the first two parts this week. In Part 1, he talks about his current project: restoring the Big Kev Commodore that sat untouched for over 20 years following Paul Morris and Mark Larkham's horror start-line crash at Oran Park in 2000. He then shares stories from his days with Dencar, his chassis building company with Dennis Watson that was responsible for underpinning many of the Holden Commodores that competed in touring car racing from the early-1990s to the mid-2000s, including a tale involving the production line in Elizabeth that Holden executives certainly didn't find funny at the time… He then talks about how he got involved in the sport in the first place in Tasmania, landing a job with Harry Firth at the Holden Dealer Team, then linking up with Colin Bond's Sydney-based HDT outpost.

This week's ‘mini' edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Dick Johnson talking about how his team built what were widely renowned as the world's fastest Ford Sierra touring cars in the late 1980s. In this snippet, Dick talks about how he initially had to buy management system chips from Andy Rouse, their very blunt parting of the ways and how the team was able to go its own way on developing the turbocharged rockets, culminating in DJR's ‘ego trip' to the 1988 Silverstone TT to take on Rouse and the factory-backed Eggenberger cars. This Mini came from Episode 14 back in 2019 when we were talking to Dick ahead of writing the sold-out, limited-edition book ‘Dick Johnson Racing/DJR Team Penske: 40 Years of Cars - 1980-2019'.
