Andrew Miedecke | Part 2 - Brock & Moffat memories & GT business

Team 18’s Lee Holdsworth and Isle of Mann TT legend Cam Donald join us for this ep. Cam is part of Channel Ten’s Australian Grand Prix on-air team this weekend as Moto bids farewell to the Island. First up Lee beams in to debrief a brutal finish to the Bathurst 1000 in incredible detail. Lethal is measured and showed great leadership as the crew struggled to come to terms with going so close only to lose the Great Race when they cruelly ran out of fuel. The importance of unity at T18 as they regroup for the Gold Coast and learning from the mistake. Plus his determination to contest the enduros again next year but not to seek redemption. Then Cam drops by the studio to reminisce about an incredible GP chapter at Phillip Island - hard to believe it’s coming to an end. Memories of his first race there and an unlikely highlight from the #AusMotoGP weekend over the years. The incredible state of play in the premier class right now. And something of a baton change as Jack Miller prepares for Superbikes in ‘27 and fellow Aussie Senna Agius gets his big break in MotoGP. It’s quality convo with both guests that is less interview and more Garage banter….just the way you like it!

With thanks to Oscar and the team at McLaren Rusty continues something of a Singapore tradition of catching up on the eve of the event.

Rusty is joined by Craig ‘Junior’ Lowndes, former HRT team boss Jeff ‘Hog’ Grech & loyal Brock Lieutenant Graeme ‘Mort’ Brown for this special edition. A group of colleagues and co-workers who became close friends share their stories of the King of the Mountain. Being in awe of him….what those first meetings were like and the impact he had. The cars….the co-drivers…..the unforgettable races. Mentoring Lowndes and the learnings CL carries with him to this day as he prepares for his 33rd start chasing win number 8. How Brock mellowed in the final years before his passing and what he perhaps would have been doing now at age 81. Plus the power of the Brock bond that permeated the teams he led, even on the tough days. Peter might have left us suddenly after a rally crash in WA in September 2006 but his legacy lives on. Enjoy some Brock convo with those who knew him best and have a fantastic Bathurst week.

Growing up in the Apple Isle and being wowed by some absolute heroes of the day at the legendary Longford track. Borrowing money from his Mum and channeling it into a race car. Getting into the car business and working in Sydney’s epicenter then on Parramatta Road…the lessons it taught him for the future. Chasing the open wheeler dream and going to England only to be told he probably didn’t have enough dough and he should turn around and go back to Australia! Changing tack to win some big races in Asia and keeping an open wheeler on the wall for decades before restoring it (period correct) and hitting the track in it again. Plus a recent mission for Ford to run a GT3 car in Japan with some gun international drivers and why he believes in “saying yes to opportunity and working it out later”. We recorded this one in the Listnr studios after the GT Festival Sydney but we may as well have sat in the transporter because it feels like one of those cool, end of race day, convos. Enjoy.

We’re at Sydney Motorsport Park for this one to chat with the founder of SRO Motorsport Group Stephane Ratel. The story of how it all started & the incredible footprint they now have around the world. Why he says they’ve “built the house, now they want to furnish it”. His impressions of the great work being done in Australia as the headline act of the Shannon’s Speed Series. Plus the global growth of GT4, the signing of former F1 Race Director Michael Masi and much more. We sat in a corporate box at Sydney Motorsport Park, ahead of the weekend’s night racing, & just hit record. Stephane has a quiet presence at first but that all changes the moment you start talking about his beloved GT racing.
