  • Larko & Bathurst: Mark Larkham

    When You need to be reminded just how great we are. It was an honour and a pleasure to listen to the Podcast. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched that vid & his “You CANT Do That” (not verbatim) Vid. His ability to create a connection to a race that connects us all will always be there. It stands tall as something to be proud of - for Mark of course but also for the rest of us. As an Australian in a world where we seem to be merging as one, it’s nice to be reminded that Australia ha... more

  • Not bad

    Not a bad podcast but Aaron Noonan needs to stop inserting himself in the podcasts. “Yours truely” is often heard when he is big noting himself or giving himself a pat on the back. Not something a true journalist should do and very cringeworthy. See Greg Rust (very professional).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

V8SP: Q&A - Taking on #1 for the Bathurst 1000
Q: What's the story behind Bathurst 1980 number-one, and how did Allan Moffat come to drive number one despite not fitting the usual criteria?
Peter Brock, the reigning touring car champion and Bathurst defending winner, initially held the number one; when Brock allowed Moffat to use it due to vehicle availability and regulatory quirks, Brock pinned a handwritten note granting permission, a testament to era-specific rules and the ad hoc nature of regulator processes at the time.
V8SP: Q&A - Taking on #1 for the Bathurst 1000
Q: Should pit stop in-lap and out-lap times be combined into a single graphic for viewers, and would that add value?
Yes, a combined pit stop timing graphic could help viewers understand how hard teams pushed around pit events and clarify the impact of out-laps on race position, with the hosts acknowledging that graphics can convey information more effectively than audio-only commentary.
V8SP: Q&A - Taking on #1 for the Bathurst 1000
Q: How did David Addison come to call the Bahrain round in 2008 for V8 Supercars?
David Addison was brought in for the Bahrain round due to Matt White's absence and due to a combination of scheduling needs; Addison had prior involvement with the BTCC and Procar, and the decision involved balancing international broadcasting commitments with local coverage, leading to a one-off hosting arrangement.
V8SP: Q&A - Moffat's Triple Eight Chance
Q: Alan Raymond's question about why the drivers end up in the gun sights rather than engineers or management, especially when a driver isn't performing well.
The response emphasizes that while external performance may look like the driver is underachieving, the driver is often only as good as the equipment beneath them, and there are occasions where the driver can let the team down as well, making context important.
V8SP: Q&A – Bring back door numbers?
Q: How can Supercars sweeten the deal for wildcard entries to attract more from the Super 2 field?
There is no magic fix; real savings would come from sharing pit infrastructure, pairing wildcard entries with existing teams for endurance events, and negotiating with tire and logistics providers, but the core cost—staff, transport, and car preparation—remains the dominant factor, making true incentives challenging to scale.
