Show Notes
THE Bathurst 1000 once again turned out to be an all-time classic race, with all of the winners and losers put under the microscope in this episode of The Undercut!
The V8 Sleuth Aaron Noonan is once again joined by Jack Perkins, who looks at the contrasting fortunes for Team 18 and Anton De Pasquale against DJR and Brodie Kostecki in the Castrol Burning Questions.
Is Zach Bates the real deal? Also, what about the outstanding celebrations for Peter Brock?
How did the new TV commentators fare? Then there’s the finals – who is the biggest miss, plus who will progress to Sandown.
We take a deep dive into a special car at the National Motor Racing Museum, plus crunch the key numbers ahead of the Gold Coast for MySupercars.
Jack is put to the test in the ACL Race Series Workbench; there are our Ryco Performers of the week, plus we relive a mega shunt on the streets of Surfers Paradise.
This is V8 Sleuth’s look at the world of Supercars, with angles you won’t get anywhere else, backed by analysis and numbers!
