Bathurst 1000 winner Todd Hazelwood – as he will now forever be introduced! – joins us for this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol for a look back at the remarkable path that his career has taken.

In Part 1, we start with the present and his victory at this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000 with Brodie Kostecki and Erebus Motorsport, before delving back into the unusual path he took through the sport.

He opens up on his family’s pivotal role in getting him through the sport, from fundraising through sausage sizzles and memberships to remortgaging their home, and the key role an open-wheel racing champion played in his progression. We also cover his successful season on the reality TV show Shannons Supercar Showdown, and how it indirectly led to his first full-time Dunlop Series drive. He also reveals the white lie he told to secure that ride with Matt Stone Racing, and his very, very nervous wait through the first practice session for word from the bank...

Tickford Racing chief Simon Brookhouse joins us for this edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum. While he’d not been directly involved in motorsport prior to being recruited as Tickford’s CEO in early 2024, Brookhouse explains his background in other sports as well his own visits to Mount Panorama in his younger days. He also talks about some of the challenges that faces Supercars as a sport in the future – including one unexpected area that is becoming an increasing issue for teams – Triple Eight’s arrival as Ford’s homologation team for 2026, the repeated rumours over Tickford being sold and his take on whether the sport’s future is with private equity owning teams, the future of Super2 and building brand new cars for it, the team’s long-mooted move from its Campbellfield home, and plenty more.

We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal. For the final part of our two-part chat, we recap the extensive celebrations that followed his Bathurst win – including the Monday morning phone call from a rival team owner with an offer to race full-time in Supercars the next year! Holdsworth talks about navigating changing his 2022 plans to drive for Grove Racing, his offer to race on into the Gen3 era full-time, working with a young Matt Payne, returning to Walkinshaw Andretti United for 2023 but knowing he had next to no chance of winning Bathurst, his return to Team 18 that would’ve seemed unlikely just a few years ago, and his new life outside of motorsport working in commercial real estate.

For the first part of our two-part chat, we wind back to his last visit - and all the things that were going on at that time that he couldn’t talk about! One of those things was his co-drive deal with Walkinshaw Andretti United, which had yet to be announced. We chat about the uncertainty he felt in the wake of being unexpectedly cut loose by Tickford at the end of 2020, how his deal to join WAU came together, plus a lot of inside stories of he and Mostert’s dominant weekend at Mount Panorama. We’ve never had a guest reference ‘Kevin Bloody Wilson’ on this podcast before, but we have now! Lee also tells the story of how the team’s post-race inspection of the car revealed that their shot at victory came quite literally a centimetre from unravelling… V8 Sleuth Superstore >> https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ V8 Sleuth Podcast Plus >> https://v8sleuth.supportingcast.fm/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features Supercars race winner and two-time Super2 Series winner Dean Canto. A second-generation racer, we start the final leg of our two-part chat with Canto talking about his 2004 enduro drives with a pre-powerhouse Triple Eight, his 2005 Development Series title with Dick Johnson Racing, and the moment he feels cost him a shot at driving full-time for Triple Eight in 2006. We then cover his time at Garry Rogers Motorsport, a period that delivered his first and only solo Supercars race win, but it’s a period Canto doesn’t look back on too fondly – we’ll let him explain why… He opens up about the stunt driving school he ran with Luke Youlden, his Supercars co-driver era – including the time he and Youlden ended up both driving for FPR without either’s prior knowledge! – Bathurst 1000 heartbreaks with David Reynolds, their Gold Coast 600 triumph, and the plans for a third-generation racing Canto.

A second-generation racer, we start the first leg of our two-part chat with Canto talking about what he’s up to now and whether we’ll see him back in a racecar any time soon. We then look back through the early years of his career, from coming to prominence in - of all things - a Maserati Ghibli, to landing a drive in Supercars’ brand new second-tier series and going on to become its first champion. He then describes his rocky early years in the ‘main game’, including a false start with an elite squad in 2001, a couple of years of enduro co-drives followed by a shot at moving into the championship full-time for 2003. However, as he describes, it was hardly a dream situation for a rookie driver - one who’d been signed to a 10-year management contract...

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features rising Supercars racer Cameron Crick. The son of six-time Australian Truck Racing Champion Rodney, the second-generation racer’s story is one of perseverence. Crick talks about the grind that has been hand-and-hand with his rise through the sport, including his approach to securing sponsorship partners and delivering them value that is a must-listen for any aspiring young racer. He also opens up on the loss of his father, his memories of his father’s truck racing and a hilarious story about the chance to drive one of Rodney’s race trucks and how it came to a sudden end. Cam also details the point at which he nearly quit racing entirely during his debut Super2 season, and how he bounced back from that to make his Supercars debut and win this year’s Bathurst 6 Hour.

This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast comes from our chat with David Reynolds almost exactly five years ago in March 2020, when he visited Sleuth HQ with his chauffeur for the day - future Supercars champ (and his then enduro co-driver) Will Brown! In this snippet, Reynolds opened up on a very serious topic: a tragic tarmac rally accident from the early part of his career. Two weeks after securing the 2007 Australian Carrera Cup Championship, Reynolds was competing in the Mount Buller Sprint with navigator Paul Flintoft. Their Elfin MS8 Clubman spun off the road and crashed down a 20 metre cliff, killing Flintoft and leaving Reynolds with head injuries.

He also talks about his emotional first Supercars race win upon Courtney’s return, plus a special day with his dad and Walkinshaw Andretti United at Sydney Motorsport Park in 2018.

This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol is drawn from Supercars legend Greg Murphy’s first visit to the pod back in 2020. This snippet revolves around a regularly-mined topic come that special Sunday in October: his confrontation with Marcos Ambrose after they crashed out of the 2005 Bathurst 1000. We’d received so many National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions about it that we simply had to bring it up – and Murph didn’t disappoint with his recreation of what the pair said to each other post-shunt. The V8 Sleuth bleeper hasn’t been the same since… This Mini came from Episodes 66 and 67 back in 2020, a two-part chat via Zoom with Murph about his career to that point.

He also shares his side of the Bathurst practice crash later that year that led to Larry Perkins’ now-infamous synopsis: “Young bloke, cold tyres, f***ed up.” This Mini came from Episode 212 back in 2020, the first of a two-part chat with Pretty about his career.

This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol looks back at the rise and fall of one of Australian motorsport’s most exciting categories: AUSCAR.

We chat about how it came about, the star drivers, what triggered its downfall, where some of the cars went, and share your memories from an incredible period of racing.
