The Motorsport Brief - Christmas with Damien Power

Kids the F word gets used a little so Santa would like you to block your ears as we enjoy a laugh with the very funny brother of Indy 500 winner Will Power. How they fired up the 2-strokes and took the karts out in Toowoomba when they were youngsters. (Ok that’s Rusty’s attempt at using nice words to basically say they terrorized the neighbourhood!) Turning hard right and pursuing a career in standup comedy and how, just like racers, it’s a hard road to begin with. The family pressure to win a charity race while performing in Edinburgh this year and the little known movie that Damien shot recently with Will. We can’t wait to see it once it’s finished! Oh and the sage social media advice we all should heed plus Damien’s new special just dropped. Check it out at https://damienpower.com/.

Mark Winterbottom Part 1: “Blindsided” by Team 18 departure, back to Tickford and the Shanghai grate incident

After lots of listener requests we finally got Frosty in the studio for a well overdue feature episode. He literally put the full stop on his Team 18 chapter the day we recorded. How he feels about it all now with the benefit of some time and his excitement about returning to Ford! The vivid memories he’ll carry or the Supercars send off in Adelaide ahead of his final full time drive. We reflect on his time in the Brazilian Stock Car Championship too and just how wild it is on and off track. I’ve had some great TV interviews with Mark Winterbottom over the years but this is without doubt our best convo ever ever. Hope you enjoy it.

The Motorsport Brief - J-Mac is back Ahead of Adelaide

With Sprintcars on the VAILO Adelaide 500 schedule, we thought it was time for another catchup with world renowned driver, James McFadden who will be racing the NAPA Auto Parts backed Hodges Motorsport #5 in Adelaide. The Aussie speedway star made an emotional speech at the recent High Limit Series banquet announcing his retirement from full time racing in the USA, but it’s not the end of the road. J-Mac talks about the reasons behind his shock decision, explains what’s next and shares some highs and lows from his time in the States. We look ahead to a significant moment for the sport (in this part of the world) and what his expectations are with the Hodges Motorsport team this weekend. It’s been a hell of a ride for J-Mac, but as you’ll hear he’s at the peak of his game and still deeply loves turning left and standing on the gas! Enjoy the ride. A huge thank you to Tim Hodges from Hodges Motorsport for making this chat possible.
