The V8 Sleuth Podcast

We’re talking to Garry Wilkinson on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast polished by Bowden’s Own. ‘Wilko’ was a core part of Channel 7’s coverage of touring car racing from the late 1970s through the late 1990s, and his voice is the soundtrack on several iconic moments throughout the sport’s history. In the second and final part of our two-part chat, he talks more about the late Mike Raymond and how his impact on touring car racing’s TV coverage went well beyond his commentary, what it was like in the battlefield that was the Bathurst 1000 winner’s podium ceremony, and his thoughts and insight into the ‘Battle for Bathurst’ between V8 Supercars and the ARDC/Channel 7 in the mid-1990s. He also shares stories from some of his other ‘combat missions’ during his time at Channel 7, including commentating and hosting the Olympic Games coverage, and opens up about his sudden and unexpected exit from the network. He also tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions, which turned up some great tales - including his drive of a future Supercars legend's Formula Ford!

We’re looking forward to the Australian Grand Prix on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast by looking back at touring car racing’s history on the F1 undercard. From the dramatic start to the first support race at Adelaide in 1985, we look through some of the wild and forgotten moments from the sprints on the South Australian streets, through the event’s move to Melbourne and its eventual addition to the Repco Supercars Championship calendar.

We continue our chat with Thomas Randle on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In the second and final part of our two-part sit down with the Tickford Racing pilot, he opens up about his battle with testicular cancer – from noticing the first symptoms in late 2019, the diagnosis and undergoing treatment in 2020 and coming back to win the Dunlop Super2 Series title. He also chats about F1 star Fernando Alonso driving his Supercar, his breakthrough front row qualifying performance at The Bend last year (and how it turned sour when the lights went green) and tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions.
