Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood won the Bathurst 1000 for Dick Johnson Racing, and Tenayah was in the Shell V-Power Racing team garage with a camera when it happened. Priya, meanwhile, spent every minute as a fly on the wall in the Red Bull Ampol Racing garage. On this week’s Girls On The Grid, Priya and Tenayah debrief a crazy week at Mount Panorama working as content creators for teams and sponsors. Tenayah shares the story behind the career-changing shot she captured on the last lap, and what it meant to be in that exact spot when the race was won. They also talk about their own journeys in the sport, how they got here, and what keeps them coming back to the paddock. Then it’s on to the Ox Bathurst After Party, and the consequences of drinking from the perpetual Peter Brock Trophy. Whether you watched all six-plus hours or just caught the last stint, this is Bathurst from behind the lens.
Host Tenayah McLeod and returning guest Renee Winterbottom hit the road for a candid chat about their unlikely friendship. Renee was instrumental in Tenayah's early career, opening the door to the Supercars paddock. While volunteering at Supercar events, Tenayah always had a camera close by, filming her brother racing motocross. She was also a devoted fan of Renee's champion husband, Mark Winterbottom, and Renee spotted a kid with real potential. Listen as the two look back on how an eager Frosty fan with an eye for social media and content turned her support of a driver into a career in the sport.
Jill Johnson has seen about all there is to see when it comes to the Australian motorsport scene. Jillie has been by Dick Johnson's side from the days of the Shell servo in Woolloongabba, to 'The Rock' in 1980, to becoming a 5x Australian Touring Car Champion. In this episode, Jillie takes us back to where it all started - meeting DJ when he was a mechanic, to getting married and having a honeymoon that co-incided with a race meeting at Oran Park. Jillie talks through her recollection of the Tru-Blu Falcon hitting 'The Rock' in 1980, through to the Ford funding fan program to get Dick back on track, to ultimately win the 1981 James Hardie 1000 in dramatic fashion. Through every high and low, Jill saw it all - and for the first time, she shares her story.

She now shares her story in a keynote message about overcoming adversity, maintaining perspective and holding onto hope in life's toughest moments.
