Motorsport News Podcast

Show Notes

RallySport Magazine visit Australia's leading rally team, Neal Bates Motorsport, for this week’s Special Stage Rally Podcast to talk with Harry and Lewis Bates.

Both won rounds of the Australian Rally Championship this year, and we asked them about the season, what it was like competing against Hayden Paddon and what the offseason has in store...

We also ask about improvements. How can they improve their speed when seat time is so limited?

It’s a laid back conversation which covers many topics with these Australian Rally Champions, and is one not to miss.
