Drivers Only: Episode 4 with Will Brown, Jack Le Brocq and James Golding

WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.710 --> 00:00:04.051
A listener production.
2
00:00:05.052 --> 00:00:05.592
G'day, everybody.
3
00:00:05.632 --> 00:00:06.232
Rusty here.
4
00:00:06.273 --> 00:00:13.978
About to exit stage left as the supercars drivers get ready for yet another Garage Studio Takeover.
5
00:00:14.018 --> 00:00:20.062
For this edition of Drivers Only, Will Brown, Jack LeBrock and DJ Jimmy Golding are on the model.
6
00:00:20.542 --> 00:00:27.847
Now, they recorded this one just before the announcement that Anton Di Pasquale was headed for Team 18 next year.
7
00:00:27.907 --> 00:00:31.990
Some shock news that leaves Mark Winterbottom's future up in the air as well.
8
00:00:32.030 --> 00:00:39.455
And a lot of chat about an announcement today at DJR of Anton's high-profile replacement.
9
00:00:39.515 --> 00:00:48.901
Hopefully, Frosty can land a ride in a silly season too that, as the boys talk more broadly about, is sure creating headlines and more movement happening.
10
00:00:49.101 --> 00:00:50.082
than we expected.
11
00:00:50.503 --> 00:00:52.605
Thank you for the feedback on these episodes too.
12
00:00:52.705 --> 00:00:57.269
Tell your mates, download the listener app and listen for free or wherever you enjoy your pods.
13
00:00:57.289 --> 00:01:01.433
You can also watch them later on the Supercars YouTube channel as well.
14
00:01:01.534 --> 00:01:02.074
Here we go.
15
00:01:02.575 --> 00:01:06.118
Latest step of drivers only, including some of your questions.
16
00:01:06.378 --> 00:01:07.219
Pit lanes open.
17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.781
Hit the gas, Will, Jack and Jimmy.
18
00:01:09.061 --> 00:01:09.421
Enjoy.
19
00:01:10.182 --> 00:01:12.365
Kind of feels better wearing them, doesn't it?
20
00:01:12.385 --> 00:01:13.666
So you've been a pro, hey?
21
00:01:13.727 --> 00:01:14.788
Yeah.
22
00:01:14.868 --> 00:01:15.789
I feel like I will.
23
00:01:15.809 --> 00:01:16.570
You're in design.
24
00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:17.752
It's all fake to you, mate, isn't it?
25
00:01:17.772 --> 00:01:18.092
Yeah.
26
00:01:18.452 --> 00:01:19.534
How do you want to start this?
27
00:01:19.594 --> 00:01:22.858
Do you have a... Yeah, you're talking about a little DJ panel, mate.
28
00:01:22.898 --> 00:01:23.078
Yeah.
29
00:01:23.419 --> 00:01:24.300
Start with that.
30
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:25.141
Can we have sound effects?
31
00:01:26.022 --> 00:01:26.502
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
32
00:01:30.047 --> 00:01:30.307
I know.
33
00:01:30.607 --> 00:01:36.770
So, hey everyone, it's Will Brown here, back for episode four, I think it is, of the Drivers Only podcast.
34
00:01:36.830 --> 00:01:39.692
And we've got Jimmy Golding and Jack LeBrock here with us.
35
00:01:39.712 --> 00:01:40.492
How are you going, guys?
36
00:01:41.112 --> 00:01:41.712
Pretty good, mate.
37
00:01:41.752 --> 00:01:42.433
How are you?
38
00:01:42.653 --> 00:01:44.574
Yeah, thanks for having us on your show today.
39
00:01:44.654 --> 00:01:44.994
It's great.
40
00:01:45.014 --> 00:01:47.095
We're actually across the table from you, so I feel like we're actually on your show.
41
00:01:47.115 --> 00:01:49.236
First time hosting, you know, so big day for me.
42
00:01:49.276 --> 00:01:51.857
But no, what's everyone been up to?
43
00:01:51.877 --> 00:01:55.679
You know, Tassie a week and a half ago, what's been going on since then?
44
00:01:56.279 --> 00:02:00.321
Just hanging out, defrosting, been renovating, finished off my renovations this week.
45
00:02:00.341 --> 00:02:01.302
So it's been bloody exciting.
46
00:02:01.322 --> 00:02:02.002
I've put the tools away.
47
00:02:02.262 --> 00:02:07.405
So I've actually dusted off the gym equipment and so I've got to try and get fit for sanddown.
48
00:02:07.425 --> 00:02:10.687
So sanddown's shred at the moment and I've got three weeks left.
49
00:02:11.328 --> 00:02:13.149
Do you actually want to get fit for sanddown though?
50
00:02:13.169 --> 00:02:17.491
Like when you think about it, with the co-driver weights these days, I want to fatten up.
51
00:02:17.951 --> 00:02:19.152
I want to get heavy so that...
52
00:02:19.552 --> 00:02:20.593
Well, it's on bulking for Bathurst.
53
00:02:20.613 --> 00:02:23.074
It's probably not as crucial at Sandown, so then you bulk for Bathurst.
54
00:02:23.315 --> 00:02:23.995
Yeah, right.
55
00:02:24.095 --> 00:02:25.656
That's when you get back on the burgers for four weeks.
56
00:02:25.696 --> 00:02:28.018
I'd just be like a little short, real wide.
57
00:02:28.058 --> 00:02:29.198
It just wouldn't look right.
58
00:02:29.218 --> 00:02:29.939
I can't even.
59
00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:33.821
No matter what I do, the only way I can really put weight on is muscle, really.
60
00:02:34.102 --> 00:02:34.842
But it's just a slow.
61
00:02:34.862 --> 00:02:35.523
It's a tough gig, isn't it?
62
00:02:35.543 --> 00:02:36.723
It's a slow burn.
63
00:02:36.763 --> 00:02:40.086
A lot of people out there aren't going to like you saying that.
64
00:02:41.046 --> 00:02:43.328
Yeah, I try to be heavier, but it just doesn't work.
65
00:02:43.808 --> 00:02:44.409
Yeah, right.
66
00:02:44.429 --> 00:02:49.275
Yeah, well, it's a pretty big advantage with the co-drivers these days with how it works, really, for that.
67
00:02:49.375 --> 00:02:51.938
Yeah, it was big at Bathurst last year, wasn't it?
68
00:02:52.038 --> 00:02:53.120
Yeah, with Dave Russell.
69
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:55.763
Yeah, old D. Russ and Richie, Richie with SVG.
70
00:02:55.783 --> 00:02:56.704
Yeah, true.
71
00:02:56.724 --> 00:02:59.828
It's a big chunk of time, so yeah, maybe we'll get on that.
72
00:02:59.908 --> 00:03:01.349
the burgers on the way out of here.
73
00:03:01.549 --> 00:03:03.390
There's actually a nice place downstairs.
74
00:03:03.570 --> 00:03:06.412
I've talked about that.
75
00:03:06.512 --> 00:03:07.132
That's right.
76
00:03:07.373 --> 00:03:08.173
And what about you, Jimmy?
77
00:03:08.193 --> 00:03:09.774
What have you been doing?
78
00:03:09.914 --> 00:03:10.875
Not heaps.
79
00:03:11.135 --> 00:03:11.975
Bit of DJing.
80
00:03:13.296 --> 00:03:16.078
Still running my go-kart business on go-kart parts.
81
00:03:16.458 --> 00:03:17.460
Oh, right, I didn't even know that.
82
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.368
Yeah, I just got this seat adjustment system to help get your balance in the cart more fun.
83
00:03:23.448 --> 00:03:24.851
I think I actually saw it.
84
00:03:24.991 --> 00:03:27.474
Did I see Derek Jones promoting that the other day?
85
00:03:27.595 --> 00:03:29.958
Yeah, one of the videos, yeah, he's done for me.
86
00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:30.759
Right, okay.
87
00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:32.261
I've got a few ads kicking around, so.
88
00:03:32.802 --> 00:03:33.663
Oh, that's pretty cool.
89
00:03:33.723 --> 00:03:37.825
Working on that and had a couple of DJ gigs, got a couple more coming up.
90
00:03:37.865 --> 00:03:39.085
So what are you DJing at?
91
00:03:39.185 --> 00:03:41.266
Where will we see you?
92
00:03:41.306 --> 00:03:42.887
What do we see you on?
93
00:03:43.187 --> 00:03:44.488
Just keeping on the socials, mate.
94
00:03:44.768 --> 00:03:45.068
You'll see.
95
00:03:45.088 --> 00:03:45.828
Yeah, right, okay.
96
00:03:45.908 --> 00:03:47.449
Yeah, I'll put a few flies out here and there.
97
00:03:47.489 --> 00:03:48.069
Yeah, right.
98
00:03:48.170 --> 00:03:48.910
That wouldn't be bad.
99
00:03:48.930 --> 00:03:50.311
You're on all clubs DJing.
100
00:03:50.591 --> 00:03:55.213
Also got some new merch coming out soon, so keep an eye out for that as well.
101
00:03:55.413 --> 00:03:56.973
DJ merch or supercars merch?
102
00:03:57.013 --> 00:03:57.693
Nah, supercars.
103
00:03:57.793 --> 00:04:01.554
Well, not supercars merch, but I'm doing my own merchandise.
104
00:04:01.614 --> 00:04:06.915
It's not going to be like generic race merch with logos and all that sort of stuff.
105
00:04:06.935 --> 00:04:10.036
It's more like artwork and stuff on it, but to do with racing.
106
00:04:10.056 --> 00:04:10.696
So keep an eye out.
107
00:04:10.716 --> 00:04:11.876
That's a beautiful little plug in there.
108
00:04:11.896 --> 00:04:12.496
That's nicely done.
109
00:04:12.516 --> 00:04:13.576
You've timed that well, haven't you?
110
00:04:13.696 --> 00:04:13.896
I know.
111
00:04:13.916 --> 00:04:14.697
Might even buy one.
112
00:04:14.717 --> 00:04:15.997
I reckon it'll be pretty cool.
113
00:04:16.097 --> 00:04:17.517
Do your mates race or?
114
00:04:18.557 --> 00:04:18.997
No, don't do it.
115
00:04:19.017 --> 00:04:19.778
We can swindle a few things.
116
00:04:19.878 --> 00:04:20.398
Oh, thanks, mate.
117
00:04:21.398 --> 00:04:21.858
Look after me.
118
00:04:22.766 --> 00:04:26.509
And, uh, myself, I've been, I raced GT on the weekend and I went terrible.
119
00:04:26.609 --> 00:04:27.310
God, I was slow.
120
00:04:27.630 --> 00:04:28.711
Um, so that was always good.
121
00:04:29.072 --> 00:04:30.493
I was just four for a weekend.
122
00:04:30.513 --> 00:04:31.313
Brenton beat me.
123
00:04:31.654 --> 00:04:40.061
And I said to him after like, you know, I could have, I reckon I could have nearly taken him out, but I said, you know, what happens if one day, you know, triple eight don't want me anymore.
124
00:04:40.081 --> 00:04:41.222
I don't want to take Brenton out.
125
00:04:41.242 --> 00:04:42.143
He won't want me then.
126
00:04:42.203 --> 00:04:46.967
So, uh, you know, but, uh, no, it was just, uh, not a good weekend of GT racing.
127
00:04:47.007 --> 00:04:47.868
And then, um, yeah.
128
00:04:48.268 --> 00:04:49.729
Was that a BOP thing or was it?
129
00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:51.691
Well, the Ferraris were just super fast.
130
00:04:51.711 --> 00:04:52.712
They were just mucking around.
131
00:04:53.273 --> 00:04:54.794
Chaz will tell you he wasn't, but he was.
132
00:04:54.914 --> 00:04:55.535
Yeah, right.
133
00:04:55.775 --> 00:04:56.576
They won both races?
134
00:04:56.916 --> 00:04:58.257
Yeah, they won both races.
135
00:04:58.297 --> 00:05:01.620
Like 15-second penalty in the last one and came second.
136
00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:02.061
Yeah, right.
137
00:05:02.081 --> 00:05:02.881
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
138
00:05:03.041 --> 00:05:09.227
It's just – I think the Ferraris are just extremely well balanced, like, you know, especially on the high-speed track.
139
00:05:09.267 --> 00:05:14.152
So sort of got hosed around there and just, yeah, didn't have the best weekend, but –
140
00:05:15.032 --> 00:05:16.292
And how did you go getting there?
141
00:05:16.493 --> 00:05:16.973
Yeah, yeah.
142
00:05:16.993 --> 00:05:18.613
Was that a pretty smooth sailing?
143
00:05:18.673 --> 00:05:24.795
Well, typical me, every flight I book is the day before I fly out because I'm just like, ah, things might change.
144
00:05:24.815 --> 00:05:25.575
You never know.
145
00:05:25.595 --> 00:05:26.035
You never know.
146
00:05:26.055 --> 00:05:26.615
I'm the same.
147
00:05:26.835 --> 00:05:35.658
I looked and the cheapest flight I could get was $950 to Melbourne and I was like, I'll check Webjet and just see if there's something else on that and I just put Melbourne in and...
148
00:05:36.278 --> 00:05:36.918
There was a $300 one.
149
00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:38.700
I was like, perfect, I'll book that.
150
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.024
And then the next day when I woke up and started heading to Brisbane, it said, get ready for your flight to AVV or something.
151
00:05:45.064 --> 00:05:46.565
I'm like, where the fuck is this?
152
00:05:46.925 --> 00:05:48.066
And then I'm like, oh, righto.
153
00:05:48.386 --> 00:05:50.348
So I was like, so I'm going to Avalon.
154
00:05:50.848 --> 00:05:52.949
And I'm like, oh, what am I going to do here?
155
00:05:52.969 --> 00:05:58.213
So luckily my great friends at Thrifty Car Rentals, they're like, yeah, we can switch over to Avalon.
156
00:05:58.233 --> 00:06:01.315
So I landed in Avalon and drove down from there.
157
00:06:01.335 --> 00:06:05.298
But to be honest, for $600, I probably would have done it again anyway.
158
00:06:05.818 --> 00:06:06.319
Yeah, right.
159
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:06.859
It was cheap.
160
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.463
Well, what it sounded like on the thing, it looked like you were in bloody Adelaide or something like that.
161
00:06:12.124 --> 00:06:12.825
Yeah, imagine that.
162
00:06:12.845 --> 00:06:17.009
It was like the big trip and you were going to drive all night and rock up to the start of practice or something.
163
00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:18.430
Imagine that.
164
00:06:18.470 --> 00:06:20.912
I've done like an eight-hour drive to get there.
165
00:06:20.952 --> 00:06:25.857
But no, it was pretty casual and then all my flights got cancelled on the way home.
166
00:06:26.197 --> 00:06:28.659
I've had a shocking run of flights lately, I reckon.
167
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:29.800
Yeah, right.
168
00:06:29.820 --> 00:06:30.521
It's pretty typical.
169
00:06:30.901 --> 00:06:32.883
Going back to Tassie, let's recap on Tassie.
170
00:06:32.903 --> 00:06:33.884
I reckon that's a good one.
171
00:06:33.944 --> 00:06:36.526
Can you go to get stories for us from Tassie?
172
00:06:36.666 --> 00:06:38.528
I liked mine and Randall's run-in, to be honest.
173
00:06:38.548 --> 00:06:39.269
I thought that was great.
174
00:06:39.289 --> 00:06:39.929
Yeah, it was impressive.
175
00:06:40.109 --> 00:06:41.811
You know, I thought it was good.
176
00:06:41.831 --> 00:06:42.852
How did it all start?
177
00:06:43.072 --> 00:06:44.994
I was always thinking of the hairpin when Randall got into you to start.
178
00:06:45.014 --> 00:06:46.295
Was it a new before that?
179
00:06:46.535 --> 00:06:47.916
Yeah, yeah.
180
00:06:47.956 --> 00:06:48.757
Break check, yeah.
181
00:06:48.917 --> 00:06:49.237
Yeah.
182
00:06:50.938 --> 00:06:53.600
I sort of like, I didn't have the tyre life there that I thought.
183
00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:59.023
And then Randall started catching me a bit, but I looked in my rear view going into there and I'm like, yeah, I don't really have to block this rear my normal line.
184
00:06:59.043 --> 00:06:59.983
Just copped a big whack.
185
00:07:00.083 --> 00:07:03.465
And as I copped the whack, I'm like, he's going to readdress this surely.
186
00:07:03.485 --> 00:07:05.686
And then I copped another one on the exit and then he's next to me.
187
00:07:05.706 --> 00:07:07.867
And I was sort of like, nah, not happening.
188
00:07:08.247 --> 00:07:11.749
So I went hard left, got the go-kart, pushing up against side him.
189
00:07:11.769 --> 00:07:15.651
You know how they, if you get them first, they can't push you and move you the other way.
190
00:07:15.671 --> 00:07:16.952
So I was like, this is good.
191
00:07:17.472 --> 00:07:19.293
And then we're going down the straight and I'm like, oh, well, he's,
192
00:07:19.873 --> 00:07:21.254
going to keep on going on with it here.
193
00:07:21.274 --> 00:07:26.436
He's not going to just sort of, you know, what can you do where you let him back pass and you don't get a penalty?
194
00:07:26.676 --> 00:07:27.536
What's that called again?
195
00:07:27.556 --> 00:07:27.936
Redress.
196
00:07:27.996 --> 00:07:29.997
I thought he might readdress and he didn't.
197
00:07:30.017 --> 00:07:32.518
So down into six, I just sort of popped him behind, a little bump.
198
00:07:32.998 --> 00:07:38.021
And then he tried going around the outside at seven, but I think everyone knows that that doesn't really work.
199
00:07:38.061 --> 00:07:40.482
Yeah, Andre have tried that once and it didn't happen.
200
00:07:40.542 --> 00:07:40.942
Yeah, yeah.
201
00:07:40.962 --> 00:07:41.542
Yeah, yeah.
202
00:07:41.642 --> 00:07:43.604
And later in the race, it's a lot of marbles.
203
00:07:43.884 --> 00:07:45.825
Yeah, I think he was a passenger.
204
00:07:45.925 --> 00:07:49.448
Yeah, I didn't even really touch him and he just kept exiting.
205
00:07:49.748 --> 00:07:55.773
And then obviously from there, I think if you slid on those super softs on the weekend, like I just dropped heaps of time.
206
00:07:55.973 --> 00:08:00.316
It was like after I think Brock passed you and we were looking at your trend, you just really went off.
207
00:08:00.676 --> 00:08:01.116
After that?
208
00:08:01.176 --> 00:08:01.976
Yeah, I hit a wall.
209
00:08:02.016 --> 00:08:03.597
I first second safety car, rear tyres.
210
00:08:03.617 --> 00:08:03.997
I don't know.
211
00:08:04.297 --> 00:08:04.977
Don't know what happened.
212
00:08:04.997 --> 00:08:05.177
Yeah.
213
00:08:05.477 --> 00:08:09.438
Had a meltdown and then everyone sort of equalised again and it's sort of like I thought I was just going back to last.
214
00:08:09.698 --> 00:08:12.239
Like I thought, oh no, this is going to be the last 33 laps home.
215
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.599
Tommy's like, yeah, 33 to go, mate.
216
00:08:13.659 --> 00:08:14.939
And I'm like, this is a long way to go.
217
00:08:15.059 --> 00:08:15.620
Yeah, I know.
218
00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:17.280
So that's pretty much what happened to me.
219
00:08:17.320 --> 00:08:24.682
And I thought I could cool the tyres back down, put a few blocks on Brock and then Tom came in and took him out.
220
00:08:24.882 --> 00:08:25.382
Ruined the fun.
221
00:08:25.542 --> 00:08:26.282
Yeah.
222
00:08:26.382 --> 00:08:27.662
So it wasn't much fun.
223
00:08:27.682 --> 00:08:30.043
But did you guys have any fun down there?
224
00:08:30.603 --> 00:08:32.364
I don't think you'll have a straight panel on my car, actually.
225
00:08:32.805 --> 00:08:34.366
So, yeah, I was shocking.
226
00:08:34.466 --> 00:08:40.950
I was at that Barry on Saturday qualifying P last, locked the brake, and even Tommy Moore read me up about it.
227
00:08:41.030 --> 00:08:43.332
So two stuff ups in about two laps.
228
00:08:43.652 --> 00:08:49.116
Yeah, I was quite interested there because I think practice, you're like top five, and then quality, you're last.
229
00:08:49.176 --> 00:08:51.477
And I was like, and obviously Tom's my old engineer as well.
230
00:08:51.497 --> 00:08:52.118
I always talk to him.
231
00:08:52.138 --> 00:08:53.478
I'm like, mate, what are you guys doing?
232
00:08:53.518 --> 00:08:54.899
Yeah, it was all Tom's fault.
233
00:08:54.939 --> 00:08:58.182
I qualified 15th anyway, so he said, what are you doing?
234
00:08:58.322 --> 00:08:58.702
So...
235
00:08:58.882 --> 00:09:00.203
Yeah, exactly.
236
00:09:00.323 --> 00:09:00.943
All Tom's fault?
237
00:09:01.164 --> 00:09:02.184
Yeah, it was all Tom's fault.
238
00:09:02.204 --> 00:09:03.385
Yeah, like I hit that brake pedal.
239
00:09:03.405 --> 00:09:04.166
I don't know what happened.
240
00:09:04.286 --> 00:09:06.027
I hit favour like overnight.
241
00:09:06.047 --> 00:09:07.448
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
242
00:09:07.488 --> 00:09:08.969
As soon as I hit that brake pedal, it just locks.
243
00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:09.890
So I don't know what happened.
244
00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:12.671
It's definitely not my fault because we put ABS in our car.
245
00:09:12.731 --> 00:09:14.292
So I don't know what you guys have got.
246
00:09:15.262 --> 00:09:15.782
What do you reckon?
247
00:09:15.802 --> 00:09:16.683
Who got you the best?
248
00:09:16.943 --> 00:09:20.806
Did anyone hit you and you were like, that was a decent one on the weekend down there?
249
00:09:20.826 --> 00:09:22.327
Oh, it was a couple.
250
00:09:22.527 --> 00:09:23.407
JC, I don't know what.
251
00:09:23.447 --> 00:09:24.528
He was getting into me pretty hard.
252
00:09:24.828 --> 00:09:27.050
So we ran into each other a couple of times for some reason.
253
00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:28.151
You're not surprised by that, are you?
254
00:09:28.191 --> 00:09:28.931
No, not really.
255
00:09:29.151 --> 00:09:30.612
So, yeah, don't know.
256
00:09:30.892 --> 00:09:33.174
And then, but yeah, anyway, that was about it really.
257
00:09:33.214 --> 00:09:35.475
And then old Jackson Evans turned me around, but that was all right.
258
00:09:35.675 --> 00:09:36.976
So my day was done by then.
259
00:09:36.996 --> 00:09:37.977
That's what happens when you qualify 22nd.
260
00:09:37.997 --> 00:09:38.838
That was all right.
261
00:09:39.098 --> 00:09:39.338
Yeah.
262
00:09:41.188 --> 00:09:42.829
I got a bit of a touch-up from Woody, actually.
263
00:09:42.969 --> 00:09:43.249
Did you?
264
00:09:43.309 --> 00:09:43.429
Woody.
265
00:09:43.469 --> 00:09:43.849
I got a big run.
266
00:09:43.869 --> 00:09:44.429
Big dog Woody got you.
267
00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:45.870
I don't know who it was.
268
00:09:47.211 --> 00:09:51.813
A couple come together and I basically went up the inside of the last corner and was going to get free at once.
269
00:09:52.936 --> 00:10:05.566
And then I've got halfway up the outside of Woody around at one and he's just hit me in the right ring and I've just done the full, like, correction to save it down to first and I just couldn't stop and go enough to stop him getting back up the inside.
270
00:10:05.586 --> 00:10:08.668
So it was going to be the Hail Mary, three at once, but it didn't work out.
271
00:10:08.708 --> 00:10:15.974
Who do you think is just – which drivers do you come up on and you just think, this guy just – I don't even want to race him.
272
00:10:16.014 --> 00:10:16.955
Oh, I can't say it.
273
00:10:16.975 --> 00:10:18.276
He's in this room, so I'm not going to say it.
274
00:10:18.316 --> 00:10:18.756
Yeah.
275
00:10:18.856 --> 00:10:19.537
Yeah, that's right.
276
00:10:19.937 --> 00:10:20.417
Any time?
277
00:10:21.307 --> 00:10:21.667
Love them.
278
00:10:21.928 --> 00:10:23.329
I hate coming up on Chaz and Cam.
279
00:10:23.489 --> 00:10:24.790
I'm just like, here we go.
280
00:10:25.451 --> 00:10:27.553
These two, far out.
281
00:10:27.853 --> 00:10:28.494
Someone's got to do it.
282
00:10:29.055 --> 00:10:31.197
Aaron loves spin on Saturday.
283
00:10:31.217 --> 00:10:32.518
That was hairy.
284
00:10:32.958 --> 00:10:33.659
That was hairy.
285
00:10:33.699 --> 00:10:36.542
Back into the track and in front of everyone, I got a bit worried there.
286
00:10:36.869 --> 00:10:39.914
I don't know what he could have done better in that situation, to be honest.
287
00:10:39.934 --> 00:10:42.758
Like, you don't want to go forward because you're going to get bogged, you're thinking.
288
00:10:42.878 --> 00:10:48.326
And to be honest, there was a lot of people that stayed fair up at last corner.
289
00:10:48.426 --> 00:10:50.409
It was practice, wasn't it?
290
00:10:50.569 --> 00:10:51.330
Yeah, practice, yeah.
291
00:10:51.951 --> 00:10:54.053
Single wave yellows, that's like a green flag to me.
292
00:10:54.073 --> 00:10:55.854
I'm sure everyone else is the same.
293
00:10:56.915 --> 00:10:58.597
That could be a double wave green to me.
294
00:10:58.757 --> 00:11:03.681
But double wave yellows, you generally know someone's on the track, like double wave, and they were there.
295
00:11:03.741 --> 00:11:09.966
So I was quite surprised that everyone, you know, I understand, I guess people weren't happy, but what do you reckon?
296
00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:10.687
Double wave yellows?
297
00:11:11.317 --> 00:11:11.858
Yeah, I don't know.
298
00:11:11.878 --> 00:11:12.358
We all slide down.
299
00:11:12.378 --> 00:11:13.299
I don't get around and avoided it.
300
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.461
But it's a weird spot through there.
301
00:11:15.541 --> 00:11:15.862
It's so tight.
302
00:11:16.022 --> 00:11:16.442
It's funny.
303
00:11:16.462 --> 00:11:18.184
Like, every time you go down there, you do your track wall.
304
00:11:18.204 --> 00:11:19.946
You forget how tight and narrow that joint is.
305
00:11:20.006 --> 00:11:22.368
So, especially going down to turn four and stuff like that.
306
00:11:22.448 --> 00:11:23.189
It's hard to do, really.
307
00:11:23.209 --> 00:11:24.050
Yeah, yeah.
308
00:11:24.070 --> 00:11:24.450
That's right.
309
00:11:24.470 --> 00:11:25.431
Years ago, that happened there.
310
00:11:25.471 --> 00:11:27.753
But, yeah, like I say, I don't know what else you could have really done.
311
00:11:27.773 --> 00:11:32.098
Like, drive forward, you're probably just going to do a 14-point turn, trying to turn the thing around in the grass.
312
00:11:32.138 --> 00:11:32.318
But...
313
00:11:32.718 --> 00:11:33.598
No, I don't think it was too bad.
314
00:11:33.618 --> 00:11:35.019
He did a good job actually keeping it off the fence there.
315
00:11:35.359 --> 00:11:35.599
Yeah.
316
00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:37.279
How bad was that last corner, hey?
317
00:11:37.479 --> 00:11:37.899
Yeah, yeah.
318
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.500
Come around there trying to stay as close to the curb.
319
00:11:39.540 --> 00:11:42.920
If you clip the curb in the wet, it'd spit you sideways.
320
00:11:43.020 --> 00:11:46.641
But if you went too wide, it was like you could see where you'd aquaplane.
321
00:11:46.661 --> 00:11:47.642
It was so wet on the outside.
322
00:11:47.662 --> 00:11:49.822
Yeah, especially after that first red flag went back out.
323
00:11:49.862 --> 00:11:51.402
It was like the train tracks had disappeared.
324
00:11:51.482 --> 00:11:52.583
And it was just like, yeah, righto.
325
00:11:52.863 --> 00:11:53.163
Yeah.
326
00:11:53.283 --> 00:11:54.423
Well, that's what I said to the boys.
327
00:11:54.443 --> 00:11:57.824
There's no point rolling out the front of the queue because I just get the wettest track.
328
00:11:57.944 --> 00:11:58.164
Yeah.
329
00:11:58.204 --> 00:11:59.844
And it took ages for that to dry up.
330
00:11:59.864 --> 00:12:00.164
Yeah, yeah.
331
00:12:00.184 --> 00:12:01.165
It took a couple of laps, didn't
332
00:12:02.665 --> 00:12:04.806
What about the other thing with Aaron Love?
333
00:12:04.826 --> 00:12:06.026
What about him and Jackson Evans?
334
00:12:06.046 --> 00:12:07.586
That was a pretty big shunt on the Sunday.
335
00:12:07.926 --> 00:12:09.047
Yeah, poor BGR boys.
336
00:12:09.367 --> 00:12:09.827
Yeah.
337
00:12:09.907 --> 00:12:11.227
Whose fault do you reckon that was?
338
00:12:11.267 --> 00:12:12.548
Come on, throw a bit of shade here.
339
00:12:13.108 --> 00:12:15.968
Well, if there's overlap, you've got to allow a car to the edge of the track.
340
00:12:15.988 --> 00:12:16.229
Yeah.
341
00:12:16.329 --> 00:12:17.929
But do you reckon he even knew he was there?
342
00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:20.950
You'd have to look at the noise when you...
343
00:12:21.010 --> 00:12:21.970
I'm not going to comment on it.
344
00:12:22.630 --> 00:12:23.150
Yeah.
345
00:12:23.190 --> 00:12:23.710
Come on, mate.
346
00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:24.611
Get a moment.
347
00:12:24.631 --> 00:12:26.211
Come on, get into it.
348
00:12:26.231 --> 00:12:28.032
Well, if you've seen him, then he's in the wrong.
349
00:12:28.332 --> 00:12:29.372
If you didn't see him, then...
350
00:12:30.768 --> 00:12:31.808
A fair bit of a play, though.
351
00:12:31.828 --> 00:12:33.449
Well, it's unlucky for Jackson regardless.
352
00:12:33.689 --> 00:12:34.289
Yeah, yeah.
353
00:12:34.769 --> 00:12:38.130
A lot of other cars went through there, though, over the weekend doing that and survived it.
354
00:12:38.150 --> 00:12:43.912
Yeah, I feel like that's a tough move no matter what, even if you're trying to pass around the outside, so inside for turn two, that's always...
355
00:12:43.952 --> 00:12:46.493
It works, but it's always dicey, isn't it?
356
00:12:46.513 --> 00:12:47.933
Yeah, you've got to have a broken point again.
357
00:12:47.953 --> 00:12:51.914
When I got that run on Woody, I was mindful of it, but I was like half a car ahead.
358
00:12:51.934 --> 00:12:54.015
I'm like, surely I can hold on to this, and he's just...
359
00:12:55.015 --> 00:12:56.115
Yeah, yeah.
360
00:12:56.656 --> 00:12:59.396
No, I thought that was a pretty decent shunt.
361
00:12:59.416 --> 00:13:01.157
That was definitely the biggest one of the weekend.
362
00:13:01.177 --> 00:13:03.177
That did a fair bit of damage to that car.
363
00:13:03.858 --> 00:13:06.158
Yeah, for not much of an actual incident.
364
00:13:06.318 --> 00:13:09.719
So what's your thoughts on the format for QALY down there?
365
00:13:09.739 --> 00:13:12.980
Oh, I hated it because it got me good on Saturday, so not a fan.
366
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.421
Not a fan, yeah.
367
00:13:15.581 --> 00:13:19.502
I never like it, to be honest, because I think anyone that's quick –
368
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.503
that knows they're confident they can get in or whatever, they just get more of an advantage by using less tires.
369
00:13:25.843 --> 00:13:27.644
Because they have green tires for the last one.
370
00:13:27.904 --> 00:13:28.945
Well, look at Perk out there.
371
00:13:29.365 --> 00:13:35.728
Like, quick all weekend and they roll the dice on a new set of tires and Q1 on Sunday and end up P24.
372
00:13:36.029 --> 00:13:39.911
See, Brock and his engineer talked about doing that, running one set, but I thought it was too risky.
373
00:13:39.951 --> 00:13:43.253
Like, they didn't end up doing it, but I thought the times are too close around there.
374
00:13:43.373 --> 00:13:43.733
Yeah.
375
00:13:44.453 --> 00:13:50.317
I think that track probably wasn't as bad, but a lot of the other tracks we go to run at three part, you definitely...
376
00:13:51.972 --> 00:14:00.401
Unless you know you can make it easily, you can't afford not to run the extra set, but then you don't have any tyres for the end of it, so you're never going to be on the front row.
377
00:14:00.441 --> 00:14:01.562
Yeah, don't mind those three parts.
378
00:14:01.602 --> 00:14:09.010
If you've got an extra set up your sleeve, and it's good for people who are sort of out of position and make it through to Q3, they get another set of tyres and it's sort of more of a spectacle.
379
00:14:09.030 --> 00:14:11.113
If you get to the end, I think it was Darwin this year.
380
00:14:11.733 --> 00:14:17.037
Oh, we had the two-part or something, and then Cooper, like he made the shootout and didn't have a green set of tyres, so never got to have a run at it.
381
00:14:17.057 --> 00:14:19.459
I think it was a couple of guys up there that didn't have a green set.
382
00:14:19.499 --> 00:14:20.259
Yeah.
383
00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:22.461
I just like to see quality and everyone's got green sets to throw at it.
384
00:14:22.821 --> 00:14:23.102
Yeah.
385
00:14:23.402 --> 00:14:24.843
What's your ideal format then?
386
00:14:24.963 --> 00:14:27.065
Just quality, then a top-ten shootout, you reckon?
387
00:14:27.245 --> 00:14:31.608
Well, if they gave us one extra set, then it would solve it, wouldn't it?
388
00:14:31.728 --> 00:14:33.149
Well, we did that earlier in the year somewhere.
389
00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:34.110
We had an extra set somewhere.
390
00:14:34.150 --> 00:14:34.410
Wouldn't it?
391
00:14:34.610 --> 00:14:37.832
Not really because they're saying that you should only use one set for each quali.
392
00:14:37.872 --> 00:14:44.695
So some people bank on using two sets in Q1.2, say, the second one to get through to the top ten.
393
00:14:44.715 --> 00:14:50.458
But then if you're using two sets to make sure you get through, then you don't have a set for the final one.
394
00:14:50.578 --> 00:14:53.479
But, yeah, I just like quali and then shootouts.
395
00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.500
Shootouts are awesome.
396
00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:54.820
Yeah, okay.
397
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:55.760
Just get it done.
398
00:14:55.981 --> 00:14:56.721
You don't do that.
399
00:14:56.841 --> 00:15:00.723
And also, to be honest, the extra practices I'm not a fan of.
400
00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:01.364
No, no.
401
00:15:01.424 --> 00:15:02.766
I just think like... No, Sunday morning practice.
402
00:15:02.786 --> 00:15:05.670
Practicing on a weekend where you've already... Or even on a Saturday.
403
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:06.852
You've already qualified and...
404
00:15:07.493 --> 00:15:09.716
I used to like doing the extra race, don't you reckon?
405
00:15:10.337 --> 00:15:10.557
Yeah.
406
00:15:11.078 --> 00:15:11.298
Yeah.
407
00:15:11.479 --> 00:15:16.165
Even some of the other ones where we've had practices after like a race and that.
408
00:15:16.266 --> 00:15:16.626
It's like...
409
00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:18.440
What's going on there?
410
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:19.040
Yeah.
411
00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:20.561
Well, Sunday, so I saved.
412
00:15:20.881 --> 00:15:26.422
So I actually had four sets of tyres for Sunday's quali of greens because I didn't use them in the race the day before.
413
00:15:26.462 --> 00:15:30.583
So then in practice on Sunday, I only had my race tyres.
414
00:15:30.603 --> 00:15:31.423
So I was 20th.
415
00:15:31.463 --> 00:15:31.664
Yeah.
416
00:15:31.964 --> 00:15:33.684
I was like, oh, the car's terrible.
417
00:15:34.184 --> 00:15:36.705
And then I rolled out and had four sets of tyres and qualified fourth.
418
00:15:36.745 --> 00:15:37.865
But we did all that.
419
00:15:37.905 --> 00:15:41.166
Like I would have, if I could go back, I wouldn't have even gone out in that practice.
420
00:15:41.386 --> 00:15:42.706
Like I don't think I learnt anything.
421
00:15:43.166 --> 00:15:44.987
It just got you used to driving on a bike.
422
00:15:45.607 --> 00:15:46.087
Average tyre.
423
00:15:46.127 --> 00:15:46.648
That's right.
424
00:15:46.708 --> 00:15:47.689
And then I had qualifying.
425
00:15:47.709 --> 00:15:57.416
So I said to Andrew after it, I would have rather just do pit stops or not go out and keep those four sets of tyres for quali because that practice was pretty much pointless.
426
00:15:57.736 --> 00:15:57.876
Yeah.
427
00:15:57.896 --> 00:16:00.978
It's a bit weird though how we didn't get any of those practice tyres brought forward.
428
00:16:01.018 --> 00:16:01.299
Yeah.
429
00:16:02.900 --> 00:16:03.420
Yeah.
430
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:04.961
A bit of a strange one.
431
00:16:05.101 --> 00:16:07.323
So anyway, we'll look forward to stand down.
432
00:16:07.583 --> 00:16:08.224
We're there on Tesson.
433
00:16:08.744 --> 00:16:09.645
You guys will be next Monday.
434
00:16:09.665 --> 00:16:09.765
Yeah.
435
00:16:11.211 --> 00:16:14.694
Yeah, no, we actually changed it for Campbell Little's funeral.
436
00:16:14.734 --> 00:16:15.535
So we were Monday.
437
00:16:15.735 --> 00:16:21.300
So we're going to go, 888's going to change it to Tuesday so that a few of us can go to that.
438
00:16:21.380 --> 00:16:24.222
But, yeah, it'll be, I don't know.
439
00:16:24.522 --> 00:16:27.165
I'm not a big test day lover, hey?
440
00:16:27.265 --> 00:16:27.325
No.
441
00:16:27.565 --> 00:16:28.426
I don't know what it is.
442
00:16:28.466 --> 00:16:30.027
I'm sure some drivers love it.
443
00:16:30.347 --> 00:16:31.548
We don't even have one, so.
444
00:16:31.788 --> 00:16:32.169
Don't you?
445
00:16:32.729 --> 00:16:34.050
What, you're not testing for sand down?
446
00:16:34.811 --> 00:16:34.951
No.
447
00:16:35.171 --> 00:16:35.431
Really?
448
00:16:35.712 --> 00:16:36.452
What, have you already done it?
449
00:16:38.875 --> 00:16:40.216
No, we've still got one left.
450
00:16:40.316 --> 00:16:41.297
We're doing it after.
451
00:16:41.997 --> 00:16:42.477
That's weird.
452
00:16:42.697 --> 00:16:43.458
Yeah, it is weird.
453
00:16:43.478 --> 00:16:48.100
So what, you guys just practice your co-driver changes at the workshop and roll up to Sandown?
454
00:16:48.140 --> 00:16:48.300
Yep.
455
00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:49.601
What about your co-drivers?
456
00:16:49.861 --> 00:16:51.782
Who's your co-drivers?
457
00:16:51.842 --> 00:16:54.263
D-Russ and McLeod.
458
00:16:55.984 --> 00:16:58.005
Cammy did the evaluation day.
459
00:16:58.385 --> 00:17:02.127
That seems weird because... Well, you can do an evaluation day and have a test day still.
460
00:17:02.547 --> 00:17:03.228
I don't know if that was a...
461
00:17:03.908 --> 00:17:08.032
Well, evaluation days, you're evaluating a driver.
462
00:17:08.052 --> 00:17:15.079
I think you can do an evaluation day if they've never been a co- There's some weird thing to it if he hasn't been a co-driver or something.
463
00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:17.101
Yeah, in the past five years.
464
00:17:17.121 --> 00:17:22.206
You can't throw a co-driver an evaluation day for Jamie Wincup or something like that.
465
00:17:22.246 --> 00:17:22.446
Nah.
466
00:17:22.787 --> 00:17:23.988
He's still a rookie though, isn't he?
467
00:17:24.288 --> 00:17:25.149
Yeah, yeah, well, that's right.
468
00:17:25.269 --> 00:17:26.351
No, I think it's a spooky day.
469
00:17:26.371 --> 00:17:26.811
Oh, far out.
470
00:17:26.851 --> 00:17:27.492
He's fast.
471
00:17:27.532 --> 00:17:28.073
I'll tell you what.
472
00:17:28.213 --> 00:17:31.998
At the test day, you've got to be on your toes as a main driver when he's around.
473
00:17:32.999 --> 00:17:33.620
Who've got with you?
474
00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:35.222
I've got Scott Pye with me.
475
00:17:35.262 --> 00:17:35.943
Oh, yeah, Scotty.
476
00:17:35.963 --> 00:17:36.824
A famous podcaster.
477
00:17:36.924 --> 00:17:37.605
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
478
00:17:37.625 --> 00:17:38.726
He'd be good at hosting this.
479
00:17:38.747 --> 00:17:39.708
That's maybe who we need.
480
00:17:39.808 --> 00:17:40.489
Yeah, that's right.
481
00:17:41.189 --> 00:17:42.670
No, I reckon he'll be strong.
482
00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:46.271
He was always so, I don't know, I always found Scott really strong in race pace.
483
00:17:46.691 --> 00:17:47.211
You know what I mean?
484
00:17:47.231 --> 00:17:54.814
Like he was probably one of those guys that used to sometimes struggle a little bit in qualifying here and there or car wasn't up to it and then would drive through in a race.
485
00:17:54.834 --> 00:17:55.554
Yeah, he'd always drive through.
486
00:17:55.574 --> 00:17:56.895
Yeah, he was always quick at Bathurst as well.
487
00:17:56.915 --> 00:17:59.256
Yeah, quick at Bathurst, always on the podium there.
488
00:17:59.296 --> 00:18:01.497
So hopefully I don't let him down there.
489
00:18:01.597 --> 00:18:02.217
But yeah.
490
00:18:02.837 --> 00:18:04.738
No, but he'll be an awesome co-driver.
491
00:18:04.778 --> 00:18:10.040
Triple A do a good job, or Red Bull Ampour do a good job of choosing their co-drivers generally like that.
492
00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:14.382
But, yeah, that's a bit of a surprise, not having a test.
493
00:18:14.422 --> 00:18:17.944
I thought you'd want to give your co-drivers as many laps as you can before sand down.
494
00:18:17.964 --> 00:18:18.484
I don't know why.
495
00:18:18.764 --> 00:18:20.365
They're that good they don't need it, apparently.
496
00:18:20.385 --> 00:18:23.807
If you guys go out and win sand down, that's going to be the new going craze.
497
00:18:24.067 --> 00:18:25.287
So there you go.
498
00:18:25.307 --> 00:18:26.188
You'll have to give it a go.
499
00:18:26.308 --> 00:18:26.928
Right there first.
500
00:18:26.968 --> 00:18:27.708
So what do you reckon?
501
00:18:28.068 --> 00:18:30.269
Year so far, mate, you'd be pretty happy, wouldn't you?
502
00:18:31.190 --> 00:18:31.350
Oh...
503
00:18:32.687 --> 00:18:33.588
If you told me I'd got so...
504
00:18:33.608 --> 00:18:34.529
I only laid in the championship.
505
00:18:34.569 --> 00:18:35.150
Yeah.
506
00:18:35.450 --> 00:18:35.790
Oh, yeah.
507
00:18:35.810 --> 00:18:37.793
No, but we had such a bit last year.
508
00:18:37.813 --> 00:18:38.413
You know what I mean?
509
00:18:38.433 --> 00:18:42.077
Like last year I was in the similar position as I am now.
510
00:18:42.157 --> 00:18:44.920
What's the difference at this point compared to last year?
511
00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:46.983
Well, last year... See, these are the differences.
512
00:18:47.003 --> 00:18:50.867
I think last year at this point I'd won five races but got like...
513
00:18:52.247 --> 00:18:56.969
nine podiums where this year I've won three races and got 14 podiums.
514
00:18:57.009 --> 00:19:10.973
But I feel like, I feel like last year I actually was, and there was stuff going on with parody and all that, but I feel like last year I had more chance to win more races where this year the competitiveness has been, there's always someone different out there.
515
00:19:11.073 --> 00:19:11.673
It's really hard.
516
00:19:11.713 --> 00:19:21.399
Like I can get a podium, but trying to get that extra bit each weekend to get a win, you know, like if you told me I had three wins by the eighth round, I probably would have been like, oh, that's not bad, but the podiums sound great.
517
00:19:21.459 --> 00:19:24.041
Like I'm happy with how good the podiums have been.
518
00:19:24.101 --> 00:19:26.802
But, yeah, it's a tough one to get wins lately.
519
00:19:26.822 --> 00:19:30.564
Like there's people every weekend popping it up, like Randall on the weekend.
520
00:19:30.604 --> 00:19:33.926
He was really fast, but every weekend there's different people.
521
00:19:34.206 --> 00:19:40.150
Yourself at Townsville, there's just all, every weekend there's different people up the front, I find.
522
00:19:40.530 --> 00:19:41.291
Yeah, it's been good.
523
00:19:41.331 --> 00:19:42.372
I can't believe how close it was.
524
00:19:42.673 --> 00:19:45.756
Sunday quality, like Q3, is like 0.16 or something, like top 10.
525
00:19:45.796 --> 00:19:45.916
Yeah.
526
00:19:46.096 --> 00:19:46.757
That's crazy.
527
00:19:46.977 --> 00:19:48.119
So, yeah.
528
00:19:48.199 --> 00:19:49.761
It's awesome to see how close it is.
529
00:19:49.901 --> 00:19:51.242
It's got to be at the right end of it.
530
00:19:51.643 --> 00:19:52.243
Yeah, exactly.
531
00:19:52.323 --> 00:19:52.944
What do you reckon?
532
00:19:52.984 --> 00:19:54.326
Obviously, you've had a big switch.
533
00:19:54.386 --> 00:19:56.909
We did the old, you've gone to Erebus, I've come across here.
534
00:19:56.949 --> 00:19:58.630
But what's your year been like?
535
00:19:58.711 --> 00:19:59.551
Like, it's obviously...
536
00:20:00.282 --> 00:20:01.443
Yeah, it's been good, eh?
537
00:20:01.603 --> 00:20:06.887
Yeah, like it's just trying to work out this, I suppose, how everybody's going to set another car.
538
00:20:06.927 --> 00:20:11.491
Like another engineer, like I think everyone would probably say, like you change engineers, it's a different world.
539
00:20:11.511 --> 00:20:14.133
You've got to try and understand their language and try and get the most out of it.
540
00:20:14.193 --> 00:20:16.234
So, yeah, it's been going right, though.
541
00:20:16.375 --> 00:20:18.836
We're getting through it, trying to learn a fair bit, and I think it's...
542
00:20:19.657 --> 00:20:20.497
Yeah, it's been interesting.
543
00:20:20.557 --> 00:20:22.638
It's one of those things like everyone stepped up this year.
544
00:20:23.058 --> 00:20:25.678
I think everyone up and down pit lane is taking a step forward.
545
00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.799
Every team is doing a better job.
546
00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:28.819
And, yeah, that marker has moved forward.
547
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.700
So I think if you sit on your hands, you're just going to fall further behind.
548
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.680
Yeah, exactly.
549
00:20:34.381 --> 00:20:34.801
It's been good.
550
00:20:34.881 --> 00:20:35.401
It's good to see.
551
00:20:35.581 --> 00:20:37.861
So it's going to be pretty cool, especially at Bathurst.
552
00:20:37.881 --> 00:20:40.482
You guys were stupidly fast at Bathurst at the start of the year.
553
00:20:40.502 --> 00:20:43.163
So hopefully the rest of us will caught up a little bit.
554
00:20:43.183 --> 00:20:45.443
I feel like people have this year.
555
00:20:45.483 --> 00:20:45.743
Yeah.
556
00:20:45.883 --> 00:20:47.644
We came out and it sort of...
557
00:20:48.424 --> 00:20:52.028
Second round, people are like, oh, you guys got the championship, like joking around.
558
00:20:52.348 --> 00:20:53.670
And it's like, oh, people will catch up.
559
00:20:53.690 --> 00:20:56.653
But it's happened and it's very competitive now.
560
00:20:56.673 --> 00:20:58.435
So I reckon Bathurst will be a tight one.
561
00:20:58.856 --> 00:20:59.116
Yeah.
562
00:20:59.296 --> 00:21:00.778
Yeah, it's going to be good, eh?
563
00:21:00.798 --> 00:21:01.478
What time are we on there?
564
00:21:01.498 --> 00:21:02.540
Yeah, I was just about to ask.
565
00:21:02.820 --> 00:21:03.120
Hard.
566
00:21:03.601 --> 00:21:03.881
Hard?
567
00:21:04.201 --> 00:21:04.422
Yeah.
568
00:21:04.622 --> 00:21:04.862
Really?
569
00:21:05.082 --> 00:21:05.363
Are you sure?
570
00:21:05.383 --> 00:21:05.483
Hard.
571
00:21:06.300 --> 00:21:07.401
That's what we were at the start of the year.
572
00:21:07.421 --> 00:21:07.781
Yeah, yeah.
573
00:21:07.961 --> 00:21:08.302
Yeah, right.
574
00:21:08.362 --> 00:21:09.543
I'm going to be sad about that.
575
00:21:10.324 --> 00:21:10.964
We'll phone a friend.
576
00:21:11.264 --> 00:21:11.585
Yeah.
577
00:21:11.945 --> 00:21:12.826
Who can we call?
578
00:21:13.266 --> 00:21:14.808
What do you reckon about your year?
579
00:21:15.288 --> 00:21:18.070
Oh, we've definitely had some good things early on, but just...
580
00:21:19.185 --> 00:21:20.947
Recently probably dropped off a bit more.
581
00:21:22.989 --> 00:21:27.633
Overall the year I think, you know, we made a lot of changes internally from last year.
582
00:21:27.653 --> 00:21:32.217
There's probably a lot of things being tidied up, which we probably lost a bit of progression.
583
00:21:32.238 --> 00:21:32.318
Yep.
584
00:21:32.558 --> 00:21:35.140
And, you know, there's probably a bit of a knock-on effect from that.
585
00:21:36.001 --> 00:21:41.586
So, you know, while other teams have probably been moving forward we've probably had to tidy a few things up maybe, flat-lined a bit and then...
586
00:21:42.287 --> 00:21:47.376
Yeah, like I can see internally within the team, things have been improved dramatically.
587
00:21:47.416 --> 00:21:48.798
Like it's chalk and cheese.
588
00:21:48.838 --> 00:21:53.446
But results, you know, we've been a bit inconsistent.
589
00:21:53.466 --> 00:21:54.007
We've had a lot of...
590
00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:58.581
mistakes and things go wrong within the team.
591
00:21:58.922 --> 00:22:00.702
And Tim's had a pretty unlucky run.
592
00:22:00.762 --> 00:22:04.624
So championship points-wise as a team, we've been struggling a bit.
593
00:22:04.664 --> 00:22:09.666
But, yeah, I've been pretty happy overall with my part of it.
594
00:22:09.706 --> 00:22:13.367
But just, yeah, want to make that last jump to be further up the front.
595
00:22:13.967 --> 00:22:14.788
How often, like...
596
00:22:15.428 --> 00:22:19.370
Something just small goes wrong on a race weekend, like the red flag came out, I qualified 15th.
597
00:22:19.811 --> 00:22:22.652
People put more emphasis on it because I'm leading the championship.
598
00:22:22.672 --> 00:22:32.518
But how often does that happen to someone like in your position and then you qualify 15th when you should have been fifth and then you don't have that good of a weekend, but really there's one little thing that might have been the difference.
599
00:22:32.538 --> 00:22:33.178
And no one knows about it.
600
00:22:33.198 --> 00:22:33.858
Yeah, no one knows about it.
601
00:22:33.878 --> 00:22:36.880
And then you look back on all those races like, oh, that's not very good, that's not very good.
602
00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:39.482
Actually, that one where this happened and we could have been here.
603
00:22:39.502 --> 00:22:39.602
Yeah.
604
00:22:40.362 --> 00:22:41.863
There's so much of that that goes on in the year.
605
00:22:41.883 --> 00:22:44.566
And I find it's about how you run your sessions as well.
606
00:22:44.606 --> 00:22:46.488
Like sometimes you just stuff it up that little bit.
607
00:22:46.588 --> 00:22:50.612
You know, you don't run at the end when the track's fast or something like that.
608
00:22:50.972 --> 00:22:53.534
And it just changes the position so much.
609
00:22:53.634 --> 00:22:59.480
But what about, I reckon because I'm not involved in this year's silly season, I want to talk about that.
610
00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:02.843
So I'm not, where do you reckon your teammates going, Jack?
611
00:23:02.983 --> 00:23:03.743
Oh, I've got no idea.
612
00:23:03.763 --> 00:23:04.264
Where is he going?
613
00:23:04.464 --> 00:23:06.725
Well, I do talk to him a lot, obviously, on Friends.
614
00:23:07.025 --> 00:23:08.346
So you probably know where he's going.
615
00:23:08.406 --> 00:23:09.886
No, he's keeping it close to his chest.
616
00:23:09.966 --> 00:23:10.447
Is he really?
617
00:23:10.827 --> 00:23:13.308
Well, I feel like there's two options out there.
618
00:23:13.328 --> 00:23:14.369
Everyone can see that.
619
00:23:14.389 --> 00:23:18.951
That's got to be Premier and DJR from what I can see or what I hear.
620
00:23:19.171 --> 00:23:20.592
But I don't know.
621
00:23:20.612 --> 00:23:21.492
I'm not sure.
622
00:23:21.592 --> 00:23:25.974
Yeah, someone's saying Tazia's seat at Team 18 and BJ's as well.
623
00:23:26.455 --> 00:23:27.475
So I said there's a seat there.
624
00:23:27.575 --> 00:23:29.096
But I don't know who it would be.
625
00:23:29.836 --> 00:23:31.077
I thought Andre and forward.
626
00:23:31.921 --> 00:23:32.502
we're on.
627
00:23:32.562 --> 00:23:35.625
I thought Andre's had a long-term deal, but not sure.
628
00:23:35.645 --> 00:23:36.867
We all know how they go, though.
629
00:23:36.927 --> 00:23:38.308
Yeah, that's right.
630
00:23:38.328 --> 00:23:38.829
Yeah, yeah.
631
00:23:39.290 --> 00:23:39.910
Don't look at me.
632
00:23:39.950 --> 00:23:42.433
Yeah, I don't know.
633
00:23:42.453 --> 00:23:43.174
I'm not sure.
634
00:23:43.915 --> 00:23:45.096
It's good to not be involved in it, though.
635
00:23:45.116 --> 00:23:46.117
Yeah, it is good.
636
00:23:46.157 --> 00:23:52.224
It's always nice, like, not – and I find, like, one-year deals, like, even for poor old Richie, like –
637
00:23:52.805 --> 00:23:55.226
I feel, you know, it's fair enough.
638
00:23:55.246 --> 00:24:02.429
I'm sure maybe he hasn't had the performance that the team's wanted straight up, but you think when did they obviously make the decision to get Kai?
639
00:24:02.449 --> 00:24:03.130
Maybe June.
640
00:24:03.730 --> 00:24:05.611
So he started with them first race February.
641
00:24:05.631 --> 00:24:07.631
He's had four months, five months to prove himself.
642
00:24:07.651 --> 00:24:08.792
Yeah, it's not much, is it?
643
00:24:08.872 --> 00:24:13.114
Like one-year deals for someone who's coming back or someone trying to join a team.
644
00:24:13.154 --> 00:24:17.216
If you don't hit the ground running within like, I don't know, three rounds.
645
00:24:17.236 --> 00:24:19.377
And have everything around you to do it as well.
646
00:24:19.397 --> 00:24:20.097
Yeah, that's right.
647
00:24:20.117 --> 00:24:22.078
Like you're saying with the engineer thing.
648
00:24:22.818 --> 00:24:26.742
It's not like, it's way too competitive to just think it's all just going to fall in place.
649
00:24:26.782 --> 00:24:28.183
Yeah, 100%.
650
00:24:28.223 --> 00:24:34.289
So he's done four rounds, five rounds by the time that he's got the axe and they've put someone else in.
651
00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:45.860
So I don't know, as a driver, I always reckon two-year deal nearly needs to be a minimum because you sign it, you do the first year and then six months or four months, five months into the second season, you're already talking about a new contract.
652
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.422
So it doesn't go for very long, does it?
653
00:24:47.702 --> 00:24:48.403
No, 100%.
654
00:24:48.483 --> 00:24:49.964
It's never much fun to talk about.
655
00:24:50.325 --> 00:24:54.508
Trying to go racing and stuff like that and you're worrying about what you're doing next year and stuff like that.
656
00:24:54.728 --> 00:24:56.330
It's always hard work.
657
00:24:56.370 --> 00:24:57.051
I find that anyway.
658
00:24:57.311 --> 00:24:57.831
It's never good.
659
00:24:58.192 --> 00:25:02.335
Motorsport's a massive mental game, so if you haven't got that on your mind, it's always nicer.
660
00:25:02.496 --> 00:25:03.937
But yeah, it's never much fun.
661
00:25:05.098 --> 00:25:09.423
So this has been a big asking point for me that I don't know what happens here.
662
00:25:09.443 --> 00:25:13.026
But if Brodie was to go to DJs, who do you think they'd keep?
663
00:25:13.547 --> 00:25:16.830
There's so many rumours around this and I honestly have no idea.
664
00:25:17.331 --> 00:25:18.812
But I don't know.
665
00:25:19.073 --> 00:25:20.854
I just, I'm not sure.
666
00:25:20.995 --> 00:25:22.236
Three-car team, who to hit first?
667
00:25:22.296 --> 00:25:22.836
I wouldn't have a clue.
668
00:25:22.857 --> 00:25:23.137
I don't know.
669
00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:29.262
I don't even know what, like, I literally don't look at any news articles or anything.
670
00:25:29.302 --> 00:25:30.582
This sort of stuff interests me for some reason.
671
00:25:30.602 --> 00:25:33.683
Mate, you're just telling us to get on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with your DJing career.
672
00:25:33.823 --> 00:25:38.165
Yeah, that's got nothing to do with supercars news.
673
00:25:38.185 --> 00:25:38.905
I don't know.
674
00:25:38.925 --> 00:25:39.645
That's a tough one.
675
00:25:39.705 --> 00:25:40.425
Yeah, I know.
676
00:25:40.625 --> 00:25:41.866
We've both been doing a pretty good job, I think.
677
00:25:41.906 --> 00:25:42.266
I just feel like.
678
00:25:43.144 --> 00:25:43.564
I don't know.
679
00:25:44.024 --> 00:25:49.445
It's probably not the right thing to say, but I like them both, Anton and Will, but I feel like Anton's still young.
680
00:25:49.665 --> 00:25:51.246
I think they both do the same job.
681
00:25:51.666 --> 00:25:54.787
Anton's got a long career ahead of himself, ahead of him.
682
00:25:55.007 --> 00:25:57.147
I can't see why you'd get rid of him.
683
00:25:58.387 --> 00:25:58.567
No.
684
00:25:58.967 --> 00:26:10.070
I can't imagine unless there's something like he wants a lot of money or what, why, if Brodie goes there, why Davison would stay and Anton goes, it doesn't really make sense to me.
685
00:26:11.270 --> 00:26:12.251
Will does an awesome job.
686
00:26:12.711 --> 00:26:13.151
Yeah, I understand.
687
00:26:13.171 --> 00:26:17.073
I think he does a great job, but I'm just like from that side, I don't really understand it.
688
00:26:17.373 --> 00:26:17.953
Yeah, definitely.
689
00:26:17.973 --> 00:26:18.654
Well, it gives me hope.
690
00:26:18.714 --> 00:26:20.114
And Will, what is he, 41, 42?
691
00:26:20.134 --> 00:26:24.136
I think he's – I think JC is 44, isn't he?
692
00:26:24.456 --> 00:26:26.177
JC – I'm sorry, JC.
693
00:26:26.237 --> 00:26:26.858
Will, 41?
694
00:26:28.076 --> 00:26:28.336
Google.
695
00:26:28.876 --> 00:26:29.276
Who's on Google?
696
00:26:29.316 --> 00:26:32.377
What I'm saying is you're saying it gives you hope.
697
00:26:32.957 --> 00:26:34.297
Yeah, that's right.
698
00:26:34.438 --> 00:26:35.278
I've got half a chance.
699
00:26:35.298 --> 00:26:38.238
So a hack like me, mate, I could make it to maybe 36 or 37.
700
00:26:38.278 --> 00:26:40.339
So I'll be all in slow by then.
701
00:26:40.479 --> 00:26:41.879
Keep my weight under control by then.
702
00:26:41.939 --> 00:26:45.280
I reckon I'll be bald putting a bit of weight on.
703
00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:47.661
If you do any more NASCAR races, you might struggle.
704
00:26:47.861 --> 00:26:49.341
Yeah, yeah.
705
00:26:49.501 --> 00:26:50.321
That's it.
706
00:26:50.861 --> 00:26:52.742
So 40, Will Davison's 41.
707
00:26:52.802 --> 00:26:53.182
Yeah.
708
00:26:53.942 --> 00:26:55.723
And Courtney, I think, is about 44.
709
00:26:55.803 --> 00:26:56.883
So people are going...
710
00:26:57.543 --> 00:26:57.803
You know?
711
00:26:58.224 --> 00:26:58.784
That's pushing.
712
00:26:58.844 --> 00:26:59.565
Mid-40s.
713
00:26:59.685 --> 00:27:01.446
I reckon Davo's got better since he's had a kid as well.
714
00:27:01.606 --> 00:27:04.028
So that's like giving me hope, like with a kid on the way in November.
715
00:27:04.068 --> 00:27:07.251
So everyone says like you lose two attempts when you have one come along.
716
00:27:07.291 --> 00:27:08.412
But I reckon Davo's gained two.
717
00:27:08.552 --> 00:27:09.753
So, you know, you watch out, guys.
718
00:27:09.773 --> 00:27:10.433
Next year I'm on.
719
00:27:10.713 --> 00:27:11.654
Davo does such a good job.
720
00:27:11.694 --> 00:27:12.275
You're not probably twins.
721
00:27:12.455 --> 00:27:16.058
You wouldn't talk about getting rid of Davo really unless he's aged.
722
00:27:16.078 --> 00:27:16.858
Like, you know what I mean?
723
00:27:16.878 --> 00:27:17.639
Yeah, I'll try.
724
00:27:17.699 --> 00:27:17.799
Yeah.
725
00:27:17.819 --> 00:27:18.780
He would take age out of it.
726
00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:19.320
He's doing a good job.
727
00:27:19.340 --> 00:27:20.681
He took age out of it and that.
728
00:27:20.761 --> 00:27:21.162
But, yeah.
729
00:27:21.742 --> 00:27:22.862
What's like Fernando, like Alonso?
730
00:27:22.882 --> 00:27:24.023
Look at him, like an F1.
731
00:27:24.043 --> 00:27:25.863
What's he, same, similar scenario?
732
00:27:25.883 --> 00:27:26.924
Yeah, that's right.
733
00:27:26.944 --> 00:27:27.784
40, he's doing a good job.
734
00:27:28.264 --> 00:27:29.565
Yeah, it's interesting.
735
00:27:29.645 --> 00:27:32.145
I'm keen to see what plays out with the driver market.
736
00:27:32.186 --> 00:27:34.706
And I don't know, there might be some curveballs.
737
00:27:35.807 --> 00:27:36.307
Not sure.
738
00:27:43.676 --> 00:27:45.337
All right, we've got some mail in here, boys.
739
00:27:46.438 --> 00:27:48.379
Let's see what questions we've got.
740
00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:52.182
I might just make up a question in my head and pretend it's not.
741
00:27:52.562 --> 00:27:53.102
It's no good.
742
00:27:53.322 --> 00:27:59.747
All right, Luke, which of the Super 2 drivers will be the one to watch in the Enduros?
743
00:28:00.807 --> 00:28:01.688
Oh, in the Enduros?
744
00:28:01.968 --> 00:28:04.290
Well, Kai's got to obviously be someone.
745
00:28:04.490 --> 00:28:05.350
Is he DJ's this year?
746
00:28:06.211 --> 00:28:07.572
Yeah, he's DJ's this year.
747
00:28:09.097 --> 00:28:13.161
So Kai, I feel like you've got a... How many Super 2 guys are doing it?
748
00:28:13.181 --> 00:28:14.322
Kai, Ken, McLeod?
749
00:28:15.023 --> 00:28:15.924
Who else?
750
00:28:16.244 --> 00:28:17.365
Cooper's doing your wild card.
751
00:28:17.546 --> 00:28:18.807
Cooper's doing the wild card, yes.
752
00:28:18.827 --> 00:28:20.528
Is he qualifying or who qualifies?
753
00:28:20.568 --> 00:28:21.369
Yeah, he qualifies.
754
00:28:21.409 --> 00:28:22.010
He's qualifying.
755
00:28:22.030 --> 00:28:24.432
So that's a pretty big thing with Super 2 guys.
756
00:28:24.452 --> 00:28:25.613
Yeah, that'll be pretty good to watch.
757
00:28:25.633 --> 00:28:27.875
Yeah, that'll be pretty cool to see how he goes with that.
758
00:28:27.915 --> 00:28:30.178
Obviously, Sandown and Bathurst qualifying.
759
00:28:30.598 --> 00:28:31.179
It'll sort of...
760
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.525
I know he's linked to, obviously, Erebus Seed, I think they were saying.
761
00:28:35.805 --> 00:28:36.706
So in the thing.
762
00:28:36.807 --> 00:28:38.329
He's up with all the gossip.
763
00:28:38.429 --> 00:28:39.370
He's got it all, doesn't he?
764
00:28:39.390 --> 00:28:40.091
He's got a good source.
765
00:28:40.372 --> 00:28:41.073
I've been watching it.
766
00:28:41.153 --> 00:28:42.936
Well, I just have to read Speed Cafe.
767
00:28:43.196 --> 00:28:44.598
It's not that hard.
768
00:28:44.658 --> 00:28:45.619
But, yeah, I don't know.
769
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.240
I reckon that...
770
00:28:46.701 --> 00:28:47.361
It'll be interesting.
771
00:28:47.501 --> 00:28:50.663
I'm interested to see how Cooper and Kai fare up against each other.
772
00:28:50.683 --> 00:28:51.504
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
773
00:28:51.524 --> 00:28:53.705
Like in co-driving, stuff like that.
774
00:28:53.725 --> 00:28:55.526
Yeah, they're very similar.
775
00:28:55.606 --> 00:28:59.569
And I suppose the championship points are a bit different in Dunlop series between the two of them.
776
00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:02.010
But the speed, they're always like one or the other sort of thing.
777
00:29:02.030 --> 00:29:02.611
A little similar.
778
00:29:02.671 --> 00:29:03.451
Yeah, yeah, they try it.
779
00:29:03.931 --> 00:29:06.753
Next one for Will from Lizzie.
780
00:29:07.213 --> 00:29:09.855
Why did Will specifically name his car Ronda?
781
00:29:10.936 --> 00:29:11.316
Ronda.
782
00:29:12.883 --> 00:29:14.304
I don't know if I can answer that one.
783
00:29:15.746 --> 00:29:17.027
It's not to actually do with me.
784
00:29:17.287 --> 00:29:21.832
It's to do with a team member, but I don't want to out them, so I'm not going to out them.
785
00:29:21.952 --> 00:29:23.193
We're in a second place here.
786
00:29:23.213 --> 00:29:23.934
Make up something funny.
787
00:29:23.954 --> 00:29:25.035
Nothing in this room leaves.
788
00:29:25.275 --> 00:29:26.276
Make up something funny.
789
00:29:26.296 --> 00:29:28.158
Well, it was Friday night on about one.
790
00:29:28.178 --> 00:29:28.839
No, I'm joking.
791
00:29:28.999 --> 00:29:31.341
I thought we were on there.
792
00:29:31.481 --> 00:29:31.582
Yeah.
793
00:29:31.602 --> 00:29:32.663
I thought you were going to open up, you know.
794
00:29:33.954 --> 00:29:34.775
Might be able to cut it out.
795
00:29:35.235 --> 00:29:41.699
All right, Caitlin wants to know, Will again, what was your favourite memory from Taupo?
796
00:29:42.379 --> 00:29:44.080
That was my first Supercars race.
797
00:29:44.861 --> 00:29:46.362
Oh, had to be the battle with Brock.
798
00:29:46.642 --> 00:29:48.783
That was the first time we're really allowed to battle.
799
00:29:48.803 --> 00:29:49.824
Yeah, that was pretty good actually.
800
00:29:49.844 --> 00:29:50.624
Yeah, good going.
801
00:29:50.644 --> 00:29:51.345
That was good.
802
00:29:51.985 --> 00:29:58.071
And I don't know, even if I didn't get him, I still would have been pretty pumped with the battle because, like, I was trying to get around him.
803
00:29:58.091 --> 00:30:00.132
And, like, so much harder when it's your teammate.
804
00:30:00.152 --> 00:30:03.676
Someone else, you just keep running into him, you know, a bit and you get him a bit flustered and that.
805
00:30:03.696 --> 00:30:04.937
But I wasn't allowed to hit him.
806
00:30:05.017 --> 00:30:07.939
So you're like, actually, how do I do this clean?
807
00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:11.061
We'll give him a little one.
808
00:30:11.321 --> 00:30:12.801
Yeah, that's right.
809
00:30:12.821 --> 00:30:18.502
So that was definitely the highlight there, but also the track to town because they don't care over there.
810
00:30:18.622 --> 00:30:19.683
Everyone was doing burnouts.
811
00:30:19.863 --> 00:30:20.423
It was wild.
812
00:30:20.443 --> 00:30:32.706
I remember I put my seatbelts on because I came out on the highway with the cop car behind me, did a drift onto the highway with the cop car behind me, and they're filming, and then I was cruising down the street, and I'm like, I thought we had to do like 30, so I didn't even have my seatbelts on.
813
00:30:32.726 --> 00:30:33.646
Mate, I thought I was going to race.
814
00:30:33.666 --> 00:30:33.886
Yeah.
815
00:30:35.006 --> 00:30:35.506
Me too.
816
00:30:35.927 --> 00:30:38.948
I was worried if it'd get about dropping out of the toe.
817
00:30:38.968 --> 00:30:41.649
Yeah, I put my seatbelts on.
818
00:30:41.669 --> 00:30:48.773
I remember I was getting like, we must have been doing like 160, 170 at some stage and like the car, like on wets, it starts moving around a bit.
819
00:30:48.913 --> 00:30:51.614
What about Courtney's rear wheels?
820
00:30:51.634 --> 00:30:53.095
I reckon they were going a bit quicker than that.
821
00:30:54.535 --> 00:31:00.359
See, I reckon that's so smart by Courtney because, like, you know, they haven't been running that well.
822
00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:06.784
The amount of media they got out of him just doing some burnouts and posting it online, I think that more teams should do that sort of stuff.
823
00:31:06.804 --> 00:31:07.505
I thought it was awesome.
824
00:31:07.805 --> 00:31:08.586
Yeah, have it ever did.
825
00:31:08.786 --> 00:31:09.406
It's good to see, though.
826
00:31:09.426 --> 00:31:10.187
The crowd was unreal.
827
00:31:10.407 --> 00:31:10.927
Oh, yeah.
828
00:31:10.947 --> 00:31:11.768
They had a turnout there.
829
00:31:11.788 --> 00:31:13.870
But the whole way into town, it was amazing.
830
00:31:13.890 --> 00:31:14.250
Oh, it was great.
831
00:31:14.290 --> 00:31:14.890
So good to see.
832
00:31:15.171 --> 00:31:16.231
Adam has got a good one.
833
00:31:16.832 --> 00:31:22.256
If you could bring back one Australian track that no longer exists, which one would you pick?
834
00:31:22.276 --> 00:31:22.776
Iron Park.
835
00:31:22.796 --> 00:31:23.237
Iron Park.
836
00:31:23.817 --> 00:31:24.638
I never got to race there.
837
00:31:24.798 --> 00:31:25.399
Yeah, Oregon Park.
838
00:31:25.419 --> 00:31:26.119
But it'll be pretty soon.
839
00:31:26.159 --> 00:31:28.241
I actually reckon... Oh.
840
00:31:29.142 --> 00:31:30.544
I raced around there in a go-kart, actually.
841
00:31:30.564 --> 00:31:31.104
Yeah.
842
00:31:31.124 --> 00:31:32.606
They cut the track down, but it was pretty cool.
843
00:31:32.626 --> 00:31:37.150
The only one I raced on that I reckon was pretty cool and I raced in 86s was Homebush.
844
00:31:37.711 --> 00:31:37.911
Yeah.
845
00:31:37.951 --> 00:31:39.432
I thought Homebush was pretty cool.
846
00:31:39.452 --> 00:31:40.293
I raced Super 2 there.
847
00:31:40.333 --> 00:31:42.656
You know, bring back... Street tracks are cool, eh?
848
00:31:42.696 --> 00:31:43.797
Like, if you brought back...
849
00:31:43.837 --> 00:31:44.598
It was good in Super 2?
850
00:31:44.618 --> 00:31:45.599
But that was probably...
851
00:31:46.239 --> 00:31:48.980
Oh, Newcastle was pretty up there, but pretty gnarly-like.
852
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.300
Yeah.
853
00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:52.200
It just felt a lot more dangerous than the other two.
854
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.941
Yeah, yeah.
855
00:31:53.121 --> 00:31:54.241
At least homebush you could actually race.
856
00:31:54.481 --> 00:31:56.761
Like, you could actually get some, like, passing stuff done there.
857
00:31:56.781 --> 00:31:57.342
But it was tight.
858
00:31:57.362 --> 00:31:58.442
Like, roller coaster and stuff.
859
00:31:58.562 --> 00:32:03.183
I ran in an 86, and, like, thinking back to now, it was tight in an 86.
860
00:32:03.243 --> 00:32:08.224
Imagine you're doing nearly double, or not double the speed, but, you know, you're doing a lot faster in a supercar.
861
00:32:08.424 --> 00:32:08.524
Yeah.
862
00:32:08.544 --> 00:32:09.825
It would have been wild around there.
863
00:32:09.845 --> 00:32:10.645
Yeah, it was good fun.
864
00:32:10.725 --> 00:32:11.965
I ran in the curve at turn two.
865
00:32:11.985 --> 00:32:15.246
That was quite sharp and steep, and the firebomb triggered off.
866
00:32:16.066 --> 00:32:18.187
I hit the left front, like, yeah, set the fireball off.
867
00:32:18.487 --> 00:32:20.869
So it was pretty cool going through turn two, three.
868
00:32:21.229 --> 00:32:22.330
Isn't that the famous place?
869
00:32:22.350 --> 00:32:23.190
Oh, he's in the fence.
870
00:32:23.571 --> 00:32:25.552
Oh, they're all in the fence.
871
00:32:25.792 --> 00:32:27.233
Yeah, that's a famous one.
872
00:32:27.253 --> 00:32:28.353
Probably the best race ever.
873
00:32:28.854 --> 00:32:29.594
Oh, that's a good one.
874
00:32:29.634 --> 00:32:31.555
Do we have any others or no more fan mail?
875
00:32:32.176 --> 00:32:33.637
I'll see what else I can whip up, mate.
876
00:32:34.097 --> 00:32:35.097
I've just made all these up.
877
00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:41.341
From Seth, are any of you guys interested in driving a sprint car?
878
00:32:41.781 --> 00:32:43.222
Have you ever sat in one?
879
00:32:43.282 --> 00:32:44.062
I've sat in one, yeah.
880
00:32:44.082 --> 00:32:45.423
It doesn't feel safe.
881
00:32:45.903 --> 00:32:47.784
I've driven one, yeah.
882
00:32:48.005 --> 00:32:48.905
Worth doing?
883
00:32:48.965 --> 00:33:00.992
One of my good sponsors, Sean Dyson, he runs Carson Macedo and I think he ran Kyle Larson back in the day and that, so he runs them all the time and he wouldn't let me have a run in it and far out, the next level.
884
00:33:01.192 --> 00:33:03.113
I was like, and it took me so long...
885
00:33:03.353 --> 00:33:04.373
A bit scary though.
886
00:33:04.393 --> 00:33:05.034
Scary, yeah.
887
00:33:05.074 --> 00:33:11.457
But because I didn't get the scare factor of I guess a lot of people just hop in and go flat straight out the pit like and wheeling them or that.
888
00:33:11.497 --> 00:33:12.057
I didn't do that.
889
00:33:12.077 --> 00:33:12.998
I sort of built up.
890
00:33:13.358 --> 00:33:14.298
But by the end I was going all right.
891
00:33:14.318 --> 00:33:17.159
But it took so long to get used to how much aero those wings had.
892
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.000
Like you just tipped it into the corner flat.
893
00:33:19.040 --> 00:33:20.141
It was flat around Sydney.
894
00:33:20.501 --> 00:33:24.383
Like at the start I felt like I was on the max of the grip level doing like –
895
00:33:24.803 --> 00:33:34.311
you know, probably not flat, like 80% throttle, but just the amount of grip you build up from the wing as you get going faster, you could pretty much go flat.
896
00:33:34.391 --> 00:33:35.431
So, but they're so weird.
897
00:33:35.772 --> 00:33:36.272
Like you just.
898
00:33:36.332 --> 00:33:39.695
It was almost like it was more controlled when you went faster.
899
00:33:39.775 --> 00:33:39.975
Yeah.
900
00:33:39.995 --> 00:33:43.378
You have to go faster to feel more controlled, but like you just sit in there.
901
00:33:43.418 --> 00:33:52.945
But I don't know if my helmet was too small, but they vibrate so much, are too big, but they vibrate so much that I could, I did like eight laps and I was worn out and, you know,
902
00:33:53.045 --> 00:33:57.367
I couldn't see and I don't know if it was because my helmet was vibrating or what, but like it was just so fast.
903
00:33:57.407 --> 00:34:03.309
But I'd be like, oh, yeah, I'm going to tip it in and run the high line and I'd end up like on the low or medium line or something.
904
00:34:03.349 --> 00:34:04.249
I was like, how did I get here?
905
00:34:04.329 --> 00:34:05.810
Like, you know what I mean?
906
00:34:05.850 --> 00:34:07.631
I just couldn't get it where I wanted.
907
00:34:07.651 --> 00:34:10.032
Like I could do the laps, but it took a while.
908
00:34:10.072 --> 00:34:12.573
I did three sessions and got a lot better towards the end.
909
00:34:12.633 --> 00:34:13.553
Would you do a race?
910
00:34:14.333 --> 00:34:15.853
Oh, I've thought about this.
911
00:34:15.893 --> 00:34:23.595
Sean's pretty keen to do a race, but I reckon I'd want to do another one or two practice days because the thing I'm not worried about, I could sort of get the speed.
912
00:34:23.635 --> 00:34:29.096
I wasn't fast, but I wasn't slow, but it's trying to position it around cars around you.
913
00:34:29.116 --> 00:34:33.116
When you can't put it where you want, I feel like I'll run into someone or do something stupid.
914
00:34:33.136 --> 00:34:36.857
Yeah, especially when you look at the inside wheels just doing the same thing and things just flopping in the breeze.
915
00:34:37.377 --> 00:34:38.357
Like, is that still connected?
916
00:34:38.437 --> 00:34:39.557
Yeah, that's right.
917
00:34:39.697 --> 00:34:41.718
I reckon Adelaide will be cool.
918
00:34:41.738 --> 00:34:42.718
Like, you know, I'm...
919
00:34:43.298 --> 00:34:44.679
Oh, how they got in the precinct?
920
00:34:44.699 --> 00:34:50.043
Well, yeah, just like all these events where they're doing, where they're doing like, you know, bigger things.
921
00:34:50.063 --> 00:34:53.925
Like Gold Coast, you know, Peter Ways with Boost puts on a massive thing.
922
00:34:53.966 --> 00:35:01.831
But Adelaide this year with like the, what, the Supercross is there, the Speedway, you know, Stating Supertrucks.
923
00:35:01.851 --> 00:35:02.631
Yeah, yeah.
924
00:35:02.652 --> 00:35:05.113
Like that's going to be a massive, a massive round.
925
00:35:05.133 --> 00:35:06.714
Yeah, it's going to be cool, isn't it?
926
00:35:06.734 --> 00:35:06.914
Yeah.
927
00:35:06.954 --> 00:35:07.515
Hang on for it.
928
00:35:08.055 --> 00:35:08.596
Be mega.
929
00:35:09.096 --> 00:35:09.556
Be interesting.
930
00:35:09.576 --> 00:35:10.857
What do you reckon for Sandown, boys?
931
00:35:11.318 --> 00:35:11.938
Who's going to win it?
932
00:35:12.786 --> 00:35:12.966
Oh.
933
00:35:14.368 --> 00:35:15.249
Well, I'd like to hope.
934
00:35:15.269 --> 00:35:16.290
Do you reckon it'll be wet?
935
00:35:17.692 --> 00:35:18.093
I don't know.
936
00:35:18.133 --> 00:35:19.955
It's been nice in it at the moment, though, the weather.
937
00:35:20.636 --> 00:35:21.076
I don't know.
938
00:35:21.377 --> 00:35:22.218
I'm trying to think who...
939
00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:27.582
Yeah, who's the – you know, Cam Waters always runs well there.
940
00:35:27.762 --> 00:35:28.343
Yeah, he's always good there.
941
00:35:28.363 --> 00:35:29.644
I feel like he always does a good job.
942
00:35:29.984 --> 00:35:32.505
I think they've gone on top of their tyre life a little bit.
943
00:35:32.525 --> 00:35:36.308
Like Sydney, he did the one-stopper, and I thought we had good tyre life.
944
00:35:36.348 --> 00:35:37.148
I couldn't catch him.
945
00:35:37.168 --> 00:35:39.590
He was probably pulling away a little bit at the end.
946
00:35:40.431 --> 00:35:41.591
Cam was quick on Sunday in Tassie.
947
00:35:41.952 --> 00:35:44.333
I feel like Cam's one to watch.
948
00:35:44.733 --> 00:35:45.954
Has he got Muff with him again?
949
00:35:45.974 --> 00:35:46.094
Yeah.
950
00:35:46.114 --> 00:35:46.715
Has he still got Muffy?
951
00:35:46.735 --> 00:35:46.835
Yeah.
952
00:35:46.855 --> 00:35:47.035
Yeah.
953
00:35:47.603 --> 00:35:48.804
Has he been doing much racing?
954
00:35:48.824 --> 00:35:49.185
I don't know.
955
00:35:49.205 --> 00:35:53.028
Well, that's the only thing I thought about, you know, trying to think of weaknesses of teams.
956
00:35:53.048 --> 00:35:56.651
And he might not be Moff, but he doesn't do as much racing as some of the other guys.
957
00:35:56.671 --> 00:36:01.616
So does Sandown, a lot of people talk about how Sandown's a build-up into Bathurst to get you ready.
958
00:36:01.636 --> 00:36:04.679
Do you reckon he just hits out the gate and he's fast?
959
00:36:04.979 --> 00:36:05.920
He always does a good job.
960
00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:06.300
Yeah.
961
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.561
Well, we've got enough practice at Sandown.
962
00:36:07.581 --> 00:36:08.342
We've got five sessions.
963
00:36:08.442 --> 00:36:08.682
Yeah.
964
00:36:08.703 --> 00:36:10.464
I'm going to be worn out by the time we get to the racing.
965
00:36:10.484 --> 00:36:10.844
Yeah, Moff.
966
00:36:11.525 --> 00:36:14.729
Yeah, Moff always does a good job, pretty solid.
967
00:36:14.749 --> 00:36:19.114
So I reckon him, Holdsworth and Chas will be fast.
968
00:36:19.154 --> 00:36:20.335
Yeah, or Holsey Lee.
969
00:36:20.375 --> 00:36:21.236
Has he been doing any racing?
970
00:36:21.556 --> 00:36:22.618
I haven't seen.
971
00:36:22.698 --> 00:36:23.298
I'm not sure either.
972
00:36:23.338 --> 00:36:24.880
I think he's been selling some real estate though.
973
00:36:24.900 --> 00:36:25.180
Yeah, yeah.
974
00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.681
He's doing it.
975
00:36:25.701 --> 00:36:26.422
Yeah, he's cashing in.
976
00:36:26.442 --> 00:36:27.002
JC's doing it.
977
00:36:27.223 --> 00:36:28.184
Who's Hazelwood with?
978
00:36:29.022 --> 00:36:29.462
This is Brody.
979
00:36:29.722 --> 00:36:30.102
With Brody?
980
00:36:30.122 --> 00:36:31.303
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
981
00:36:31.383 --> 00:36:31.983
And you've got Ojeda?
982
00:36:32.043 --> 00:36:32.703
Yeah, I've got Juice.
983
00:36:32.723 --> 00:36:33.644
I reckon he'll be good.
984
00:36:33.904 --> 00:36:35.144
Yeah, yeah, Juice has been doing well.
985
00:36:35.164 --> 00:36:35.885
I reckon he's underrated.
986
00:36:36.005 --> 00:36:37.185
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's real quick.
987
00:36:37.225 --> 00:36:38.966
He's been doing heaps of racing this year, which would be good.
988
00:36:38.986 --> 00:36:42.307
So, like, he's probably the best prepared he's been going into it.
989
00:36:42.327 --> 00:36:43.127
So, looking forward to that.
990
00:36:43.447 --> 00:36:45.148
I reckon Brody and Todd are a bit of a...
991
00:36:46.184 --> 00:36:50.107
You know, I think Brodie's starting to find his form in a way again.
992
00:36:50.147 --> 00:36:53.329
Like, you know, seen some pretty good qualifiers for... Yeah, I think so.
993
00:36:53.369 --> 00:36:55.071
He talks it down, but... Yeah.
994
00:36:55.191 --> 00:36:58.093
He's definitely still a contender, I reckon, in the background.
995
00:36:58.133 --> 00:36:59.694
Yeah, I reckon even him at Bathurst.
996
00:37:00.094 --> 00:37:02.236
I reckon that's a pretty big contender.
997
00:37:02.256 --> 00:37:06.920
Like, every year... Well, every year when I was with him with Erebus, I think he was on the podium...
998
00:37:08.461 --> 00:37:09.161
at Bathurst.
999
00:37:09.321 --> 00:37:10.642
He was always fast there.
1000
00:37:10.803 --> 00:37:13.365
I just think that him at Bathurst has a pretty good shot.
1001
00:37:13.405 --> 00:37:17.348
Hazelwood's obviously done, Todd's done, what, three races this year?
1002
00:37:17.608 --> 00:37:17.968
Did he do?
1003
00:37:18.208 --> 00:37:19.149
Yeah, two.
1004
00:37:19.209 --> 00:37:19.409
Two.
1005
00:37:19.429 --> 00:37:23.472
Yeah, but he's been doing Trans Am and plenty of other bits and pieces, so he's done a good job in.
1006
00:37:23.512 --> 00:37:24.273
But, yeah.
1007
00:37:24.353 --> 00:37:25.374
And Todd's got the weight as well.
1008
00:37:25.394 --> 00:37:26.915
I think that'll be a big thing.
1009
00:37:27.175 --> 00:37:29.297
Yeah, he's been on the shred, the old toddles.
1010
00:37:29.728 --> 00:37:34.212
I reckon Sandown, though, the pick would be Jamie and Brock, that you can't put it past.
1011
00:37:34.353 --> 00:37:35.574
Jamie's just so strong there.
1012
00:37:35.874 --> 00:37:36.315
Yeah, yeah.
1013
00:37:36.795 --> 00:37:37.436
Brock's good.
1014
00:37:37.836 --> 00:37:48.807
Jamie last year just, I remember we were leading with me and Jack and Jamie sat behind him, like, saved tyres and then just blew the doors off everyone for, like, the last 10 laps of his stint or something like that.
1015
00:37:49.107 --> 00:37:50.449
Yeah, just bug it off.
1016
00:37:50.569 --> 00:37:53.192
He's just extremely smart with that side of it.
1017
00:37:53.212 --> 00:37:54.834
So that'll be interesting.
1018
00:37:54.874 --> 00:38:01.341
But I don't know, I'm going to go, well, apart from myself because I'm going to go Brock and Jamie, I reckon we'll be strong there.
1019
00:38:02.002 --> 00:38:02.463
What do you reckon?
1020
00:38:02.998 --> 00:38:03.878
I'm going with Cammy, I reckon.
1021
00:38:04.259 --> 00:38:05.699
Whoever wins gets 50 bucks.
1022
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.360
We'll go or something.
1023
00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:06.840
Yeah, done.
1024
00:38:07.200 --> 00:38:07.540
Righto.
1025
00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:08.220
You're going Cam?
1026
00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:09.021
Yeah, I've got Cammy.
1027
00:38:09.441 --> 00:38:09.841
Righto.
1028
00:38:09.901 --> 00:38:10.961
You can't choose yourself.
1029
00:38:11.022 --> 00:38:11.782
This is all this is.
1030
00:38:11.822 --> 00:38:12.662
You can't choose yourself.
1031
00:38:12.682 --> 00:38:13.363
You have to choose someone.
1032
00:38:13.563 --> 00:38:14.603
Yeah, I reckon Waters.
1033
00:38:15.143 --> 00:38:15.503
Waters.
1034
00:38:15.704 --> 00:38:17.664
How do we... We want to split the 50, are we?
1035
00:38:17.724 --> 00:38:18.905
Or we... 50, 25 each.
1036
00:38:18.925 --> 00:38:20.526
Do I get 100 then?
1037
00:38:20.606 --> 00:38:22.787
I'll go Chaz then.
1038
00:38:23.067 --> 00:38:23.407
Okay.
1039
00:38:23.687 --> 00:38:24.067
Righto.
1040
00:38:24.447 --> 00:38:25.368
That sounds pretty good then.
1041
00:38:25.448 --> 00:38:26.228
How's the lane, Chaz?
1042
00:38:26.508 --> 00:38:28.749
And there's just going to be a massive shunt between the three of them.
1043
00:38:29.209 --> 00:38:30.150
Oh, you'd imagine.
1044
00:38:30.370 --> 00:38:31.390
Yeah.
1045
00:38:31.470 --> 00:38:32.851
Do you reckon, like, how much...
1046
00:38:32.851 --> 00:38:36.634
would I have to pay one of you guys to take Chaz out?
1047
00:38:36.654 --> 00:38:37.454
We'll talk about it after.
1048
00:38:37.775 --> 00:38:38.435
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1049
00:38:38.575 --> 00:38:39.216
There's a number, though?
1050
00:38:39.236 --> 00:38:39.816
There's a number?
1051
00:38:40.176 --> 00:38:41.077
There's always a number.
1052
00:38:41.097 --> 00:38:43.459
There's always a number.
1053
00:38:43.479 --> 00:38:44.279
They're lying.
1054
00:38:44.299 --> 00:38:44.720
They're lying.
1055
00:38:44.740 --> 00:38:45.480
Yeah, that's good.
1056
00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:45.921
That's good.
1057
00:38:46.001 --> 00:38:47.922
Okay, well, we'll chat about that after.
1058
00:38:47.942 --> 00:38:48.603
Yeah, save that one.
1059
00:38:48.623 --> 00:38:49.543
What have we got there?
1060
00:38:49.563 --> 00:38:50.364
Dream co-driver.
1061
00:38:50.564 --> 00:38:51.765
Who have we got?
1062
00:38:52.385 --> 00:38:52.986
Dream co-y.
1063
00:38:53.686 --> 00:38:54.027
What is it?
1064
00:38:54.207 --> 00:38:55.348
What do you reckon?
1065
00:38:55.588 --> 00:38:58.150
We're going to say you can't choose your co-driver, obviously.
1066
00:38:58.170 --> 00:38:58.990
He's Dream co-y.
1067
00:38:59.010 --> 00:39:00.852
So, or like, or...
1068
00:39:01.609 --> 00:39:08.533
Yeah, but then they're going to get... Like, can you choose main game drivers from now or it has to...
1069
00:39:08.693 --> 00:39:09.774
Anyone, so anyone.
1070
00:39:10.234 --> 00:39:11.035
It's absolutely anyone.
1071
00:39:11.055 --> 00:39:12.776
I don't know.
1072
00:39:13.116 --> 00:39:14.957
I'm a big boy, so he's real light and real quick.
1073
00:39:15.818 --> 00:39:16.198
Slady.
1074
00:39:16.278 --> 00:39:16.978
Slady's pretty light.
1075
00:39:17.038 --> 00:39:17.739
He's a lightweight, isn't he?
1076
00:39:18.645 --> 00:39:18.825
Yeah.
1077
00:39:18.845 --> 00:39:19.646
He's pretty light, yeah.
1078
00:39:19.666 --> 00:39:20.387
Yeah, he's pretty light.
1079
00:39:20.927 --> 00:39:22.889
I'm just thinking, you know, I'm just letting things strategically here.
1080
00:39:23.530 --> 00:39:25.472
Are you really engineering this question?
1081
00:39:25.512 --> 00:39:26.452
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1082
00:39:26.472 --> 00:39:26.813
100%, mate.
1083
00:39:26.853 --> 00:39:27.554
I'm going for it.
1084
00:39:28.214 --> 00:39:28.755
I've got no idea.
1085
00:39:29.255 --> 00:39:31.337
I wouldn't mind co-driving Cam Waters, I reckon.
1086
00:39:31.357 --> 00:39:31.798
Yeah, yeah.
1087
00:39:31.938 --> 00:39:33.539
I just want to see what he's like on a race weekend.
1088
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.920
Seems pretty calm.
1089
00:39:35.241 --> 00:39:35.521
Yeah.
1090
00:39:36.042 --> 00:39:36.242
Clown.
1091
00:39:36.262 --> 00:39:36.382
Yeah.
1092
00:39:36.682 --> 00:39:37.423
Impressive.
1093
00:39:37.683 --> 00:39:38.303
I'd definitely get SVG.
1094
00:39:38.323 --> 00:39:39.304
Oh, that's a good one.
1095
00:39:39.384 --> 00:39:40.084
Yeah.
1096
00:39:40.124 --> 00:39:40.724
That's a good one.
1097
00:39:40.784 --> 00:39:41.485
Yeah, bring him back.
1098
00:39:41.505 --> 00:39:42.465
Do you reckon he's going to come back?
1099
00:39:42.525 --> 00:39:42.945
Yeah, that's right.
1100
00:39:42.965 --> 00:39:47.067
Do you reckon he's going to come back and do a Bathurst again at some stage in his life?
1101
00:39:47.087 --> 00:39:50.448
Who do you think he comes back and does it with Triple Eight, like Red Bull and Paul?
1102
00:39:50.708 --> 00:39:51.849
Surely he'd have to, wouldn't he?
1103
00:39:51.869 --> 00:39:53.890
Well, you would think so, but I just can't.
1104
00:39:54.350 --> 00:39:54.930
I don't know.
1105
00:39:55.931 --> 00:39:59.372
Went over there and did that race, obviously, in NASCAR and...
1106
00:40:00.638 --> 00:40:01.198
I'm not sure.
1107
00:40:01.258 --> 00:40:01.738
I don't know.
1108
00:40:01.818 --> 00:40:06.339
Like maybe the interest comes back, but I think also like how does he do it?
1109
00:40:06.359 --> 00:40:07.100
Like you're racing.
1110
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.440
He's going to be a busy boy now.
1111
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:09.160
Which is pretty cool.
1112
00:40:09.180 --> 00:40:10.140
I guess we'll talk about it.
1113
00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:12.461
He just announced that he's racing cup next year.
1114
00:40:12.881 --> 00:40:13.961
How many events is that?
1115
00:40:14.001 --> 00:40:14.762
Like 37 for the year.
1116
00:40:14.782 --> 00:40:15.022
Yeah.
1117
00:40:15.482 --> 00:40:18.122
So really to get back and do Bathurst, he can't even really do it.
1118
00:40:18.382 --> 00:40:18.582
No.
1119
00:40:18.602 --> 00:40:19.623
So like it's really.
1120
00:40:19.643 --> 00:40:20.663
No, we're testing and stuff.
1121
00:40:20.903 --> 00:40:27.432
Now it's really like, oh, yeah, if he does, if he keeps going NASCAR and, you know, has a good career in that, it's only after that really.
1122
00:40:27.452 --> 00:40:28.793
Yeah, he'll come back when he's 50.
1123
00:40:28.954 --> 00:40:29.454
Possibilities there.
1124
00:40:29.474 --> 00:40:30.476
Probably still be quick.
1125
00:40:30.716 --> 00:40:32.098
But then, you just retire.
1126
00:40:32.118 --> 00:40:33.039
He's done it all, hasn't he?
1127
00:40:33.179 --> 00:40:33.600
You're not going to.
1128
00:40:34.745 --> 00:40:35.405
Not going to come back.
1129
00:40:35.465 --> 00:40:37.146
I don't think it'll race as a co-driver.
1130
00:40:37.326 --> 00:40:38.667
It's a pretty crazy lifestyle, isn't it, though?
1131
00:40:38.687 --> 00:40:38.887
Yeah.
1132
00:40:38.907 --> 00:40:40.268
And that's going to do that, travel around.
1133
00:40:40.288 --> 00:40:41.168
I saw a photo the other day.
1134
00:40:41.268 --> 00:40:42.769
Giz put up with his dog, Ronald.
1135
00:40:42.889 --> 00:40:43.269
Is it Ronald?
1136
00:40:43.530 --> 00:40:43.850
Yeah.
1137
00:40:43.870 --> 00:40:44.250
Yeah, yeah.
1138
00:40:44.270 --> 00:40:46.371
Big dog just sitting there in the plane seat and it's just like...
1139
00:40:46.391 --> 00:40:47.192
It's mega over there.
1140
00:40:47.252 --> 00:40:49.153
Like you literally all rock up to...
1141
00:40:49.173 --> 00:40:53.295
I can't remember what it's called, the name of the airport, but you all rock up.
1142
00:40:53.335 --> 00:40:54.555
It's about half an hour out of...
1143
00:40:56.036 --> 00:40:58.478
out of Charlotte there and all the teams fly out of there.
1144
00:40:58.498 --> 00:41:10.589
There's like one company that have sort of got all the planes and heaps of planes and you roll in and each team's rented a jet, you roll onto the jet and then fly to the event, get there pretty much a day of practice, do practice,
1145
00:41:11.390 --> 00:41:18.716
do qualifying, stay the night, race, and then everyone, like, literally, if you hung around for 10 minutes, you wouldn't see any of the drivers because they're all gone.
1146
00:41:18.736 --> 00:41:21.398
They go, get changed, put in their bag, they're off to the airport.
1147
00:41:21.418 --> 00:41:21.618
Yeah.
1148
00:41:21.818 --> 00:41:24.941
And then you fly out and that's a weekend done.
1149
00:41:25.001 --> 00:41:27.923
So you're going from the track 20 minutes after a race.
1150
00:41:27.943 --> 00:41:31.706
So, like, and I guess the reason they have to do that is they're racing every weekend.
1151
00:41:31.726 --> 00:41:33.447
You have to minimise travel, don't you?
1152
00:41:33.468 --> 00:41:35.709
So in last minute, out first thing.
1153
00:41:36.230 --> 00:41:36.430
Yeah.
1154
00:41:36.950 --> 00:41:37.851
Crazy old lifestyle, isn't it?
1155
00:41:38.091 --> 00:41:38.331
Yeah.
1156
00:41:38.351 --> 00:41:38.972
I'm a bit of a homebody.
1157
00:41:38.992 --> 00:41:39.612
What do you reckon about it?
1158
00:41:39.632 --> 00:41:40.333
Do you reckon you'd do it?
1159
00:41:41.861 --> 00:41:44.602
Oh, no, I think I want to, you know, I really like Strayer.
1160
00:41:44.722 --> 00:41:48.924
I guess I've got other things set up here as well with work and stuff like that.
1161
00:41:48.964 --> 00:41:50.725
I still work during the week.
1162
00:41:50.785 --> 00:41:54.806
But I want to try and be like one of the guys that they get to come in.
1163
00:41:54.846 --> 00:41:58.347
Like if you get to the stage, you do a good job and you do two or three events there a year.
1164
00:41:58.768 --> 00:42:05.130
Like that would be my ideal next year is hopefully Chicago doesn't clash with supercars and Sonoma.
1165
00:42:05.270 --> 00:42:07.171
And then my ideal would be you do...
1166
00:42:08.831 --> 00:42:15.694
you do Xfinity at Chicago and Cup, and then you try to do Cup at Sonoma or something like that and do those two for the year.
1167
00:42:15.714 --> 00:42:18.015
Because, like, you know, what's going on?
1168
00:42:18.075 --> 00:42:21.876
Like, I'm loving supercars, obviously, with the new team this year.
1169
00:42:21.916 --> 00:42:23.457
Like, it's a long, long planned thing.
1170
00:42:23.477 --> 00:42:24.417
I don't want to move over there.
1171
00:42:24.437 --> 00:42:35.661
But if you could get that fixed by going and doing a couple of races a year, even like, you know, I know Brock's keen on doing it, but, like, GT stuff overseas, just doing that something a little bit different, just trying it, you know, each year.
1172
00:42:35.701 --> 00:42:36.722
But that would be my goal.
1173
00:42:37.842 --> 00:42:46.146
Obviously, a big thing and a very sad thing in supercars, which I think happened a couple of days ago now, was Campbell Little, obviously.
1174
00:42:46.306 --> 00:42:50.428
It's really sad to hear about his passing, I'm sure, for a lot of you guys.
1175
00:42:50.448 --> 00:42:54.990
You know him extremely well, and a lot of even the guys on the supercars grid he engineered over the time.
1176
00:42:55.070 --> 00:42:57.812
Yeah, he was my first engineer in 2018.
1177
00:42:58.052 --> 00:42:58.252
Yep.
1178
00:42:58.572 --> 00:43:00.353
Best memories of working with him?
1179
00:43:00.633 --> 00:43:01.393
Yeah, no, it was all right.
1180
00:43:01.413 --> 00:43:04.035
Yeah, other than like, yeah, cracking the shit's out of my time to drive faster.
1181
00:43:04.055 --> 00:43:05.496
But no, he was good.
1182
00:43:05.516 --> 00:43:06.756
Yeah, I learned a lot from him.
1183
00:43:06.916 --> 00:43:07.517
He was a good fella.
1184
00:43:07.777 --> 00:43:08.497
Got a lot out of it.
1185
00:43:08.537 --> 00:43:11.599
And yeah, it was a good fun year with Campbell, ATB.
1186
00:43:11.999 --> 00:43:12.499
Yeah.
1187
00:43:12.660 --> 00:43:14.180
Had a jolly old time.
1188
00:43:14.220 --> 00:43:16.161
So no, definitely very sad.
1189
00:43:16.181 --> 00:43:16.902
He'll be missed.
1190
00:43:16.942 --> 00:43:17.942
Yeah, definitely.
1191
00:43:17.962 --> 00:43:20.504
It was pretty sad to hear because I think I only saw him at...
1192
00:43:21.064 --> 00:43:22.387
I think he was at New Zealand.
1193
00:43:23.008 --> 00:43:27.436
I saw him there and I didn't even know he was sick, to be honest, and then read about it.
1194
00:43:27.517 --> 00:43:32.486
So that was really sad and I think his funeral's on Monday, so I think a fair few of us are going to head down for it.
1195
00:43:33.269 --> 00:43:34.590
Got 50 seconds left here, fellas.
1196
00:43:35.750 --> 00:43:37.171
Thanks for coming to Will Brown's show.
1197
00:43:37.191 --> 00:43:37.911
Yeah, thank you very much.
1198
00:43:37.971 --> 00:43:38.592
You did well, mate.
1199
00:43:38.692 --> 00:43:40.513
It's a pretty good job for your first time hosting.
1200
00:43:40.573 --> 00:43:41.333
Yeah, I know.
1201
00:43:41.373 --> 00:43:42.434
Maybe we start one.
1202
00:43:42.454 --> 00:43:43.594
Where do we send the invoice?
1203
00:43:43.734 --> 00:43:44.795
Yeah, yeah, supercars.
1204
00:43:44.915 --> 00:43:45.615
Yeah.
1205
00:43:45.675 --> 00:43:46.636
Yeah.
1206
00:43:46.736 --> 00:43:49.317
Might bounce, but actually put another zero on the end of it, guys.
1207
00:43:49.337 --> 00:43:50.178
It's all good, you know.
1208
00:43:50.198 --> 00:43:50.798
I've done a couple.
1209
00:43:50.938 --> 00:43:51.558
Yeah, yeah.
1210
00:43:51.578 --> 00:43:52.699
We've proved that we're good to go.
1211
00:43:52.759 --> 00:43:53.579
Yeah, that's good.
1212
00:43:53.700 --> 00:43:54.040
All good.
1213
00:43:54.060 --> 00:43:55.741
But no, thanks everyone for listening.
1214
00:43:55.861 --> 00:43:56.061
Love it.
1215
00:43:56.081 --> 00:43:56.601
Thank you.
1216
00:43:56.621 --> 00:43:57.381
See you at Sandown.
1217
00:43:58.162 --> 00:43:58.382
Yoop.
