    Unpacking an Epic Bathurst 1000 | The Undercut

    THE Bathurst 1000 once again turned out to be an all-time classic race, with all of the winners and losers put under the microscope in this episode of The Undercut!  The V8 Sleuth Aaron Noonan is once again joined by Jack Perkins, who looks at the contrasting fortunes for Team 18 and Anton De Pasquale against DJR and Brodie Kostecki in the Castrol Burning Questions. Is Zach Bates the real deal? Also, what about the outstanding celebrations for Peter Brock?  How did the new TV commentators fare? Then there’s the finals – who is the biggest miss, plus who will progress to Sandown. We take a deep dive into a special car at the National Motor Racing Museum, plus crunch the key numbers ahead of the Gold Coast for MySupercars. Jack is put to the test in the ACL Race Series Workbench; there are our Ryco Performers of the week, plus we relive a mega shunt on the streets of Surfers Paradise. This is V8 Sleuth’s look at the world of Supercars, with angles you won’t get anywhere else, backed by analysis and numbers! Agree/disagree with our takes? Let us know in the comments!

    The Winning Vet | V8SP with Jim Cornish

    OVER the 114-race history of the Australian Super Touring Championship, only 10 drivers stood on the top step of the podium. There were some big names in that list, including Jim Richards, Tony Longhurst, Paul Morris, Brad Jones, Steven Richards and Cameron McConville. One often-overlooked driver is Jim Cornish, who claimed victory at Wakefield Park in 2001, in a season otherwise dominated by Morris. This is the story of an underdog veterinarian who stepped up from Club Cars to be on the Bathurst 1000 grid in the space of a year. He has slipped away from the sport in recent years, but V8 Sleuth Aaron Noonan has tracked him down to explore an interesting period in the sport.
