Australian motorsport veteran David Russell joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

Over two parts, the racer known as both ‘Coighty’ and ‘D-Russ’ takes us back through his diverse career behind the wheel, culminating in his reputation as one of Supercars’ top co-drivers.

In Part 2 he goes into his years as a hired gun for Supercars teams, including a long run with Kelly Racing that spanned its Holden and Nissan eras. Russell touches on his near-miss on a deal that would’ve landed him on the grid full-time in 2012, plus his infamous collision with a kangaroo in the early laps of the 2013 Bathurst 1000, and shares the story of a famously disastrous pre-Bathurst kayaking trip undertaken by the Kelly Racing enduro drivers!

He also covers his unexpected exit from Tickford in early 2019, success with Erebus Motorsport, and his decision to depart the team earlier this year only for them to win Bathurst.
