What is it with the Rally fraternity and their love for a good chat? We've got a special treat for you: Part 3 with Group N Rally legend Ed Ordynski—a rarity for us! In this episode, Ed dives into his experiences prepping and testing for the Round Australia Trial in a Commodore alongside Holden hero Peter Brock.

Ed also opens up about the circumstances that led him to retire from professional rallying, how he navigated that transition, and his final rally. He discusses his current projects, including eco challenges, driving electric and hydrogen vehicles, and contributing his expertise to motorsport investigations. And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without a peek into the cool cars Ed's kept in his shed. Let's just say he's a true enthusiast!

In December of 2001, Aussies across the continent were hit with earth shattering news – Holden Racing Team's golden boy, Craig Lowndes, was joining Ford's Blue Oval. Shockwaves rippled through the legions of loyal V8 Supercar racing fans – it was known that you were either team Holden or team Ford, and there was no switching sides. A rivalry deeper than the Hatfield and McCoys, and more bitter than the Red Sox and Yankees, was about to be put to the ultimate test. But how did this deep seated rivalry even begin? Is this the story of gladiators being forged in the crucible of ultimate battle or just two bastions of the same big corporate business propping up car sales with race wins? Has this famed automotive rivalry from down under come to a peaceful conclusion and broken generational racing curses? You asked for it -- and we listened. We're filming Past Gas again!

Jessica Danes is a force for women in Motor Sports. A granddaughter of one of the founding members of the British SAS and daughter of Roland Dane, Jess is forging her own career and ignoring all doubters and critics. Her first foray into motorsports was working in the Triple Eight Race Engineering Team gear box shop as a sub-assembly mechanic! She was acutely aware that she was building the brakes that would need to make a V8 supercar stop on a dime. Enjoying being out of her comfort zone, Jess then moved into a marketing, media and PR role in the Red Bull Holden Racing Team/ Triple 8 Race Engineering. She talks how she managed negativity on social media. Jess talks about the business of motorsports and her commercial role. The franchise, the team and its leadership. She gives fascinating insights into the role of drivers and other technical experts in the ‘team's leadership'. Jess talks about gender disparity - and why it exists in motor sports - and more broadly - and indeed what she says makes great practical sense. Parents and teachers take note! Not being content with her current commercial role in Triple Eight she is also the Chairperson of the Australian Women in Motor Sport Commission, which has been designed to provide a voice for women in motorsport. And not being content with all that- Jess is also studying law! An amazing human being- Jess is breaking all stereotypes and ignoring everything except high performance – Jess's insights in this episode are inspiring.
