  • 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: Mark Skaife | Part 2 - The final years at HRT, Seto's shunt and more
Q: Was there a moment when you felt the pressure nearly broke you, and how did you handle it?
Yes, the 2008 period around the internal disputes and funding pressures pushed me to reassess my role and focus on stabilizing the team while managing personal and financial stress.
V8SP: Mark Skaife | Part 2 - The final years at HRT, Seto's shunt and more
Q: What do you consider the core elements of good leadership in teams and racing?
Good leadership combines clear standards, consistency, and listening to the people on the ground so everyone moves toward a common goal, even under pressure and with high expectations.
V8SP: Mark Skaife | Part 1 - The big Creek shunt, Bathurst '06, Willo's Supra and more!
Q: How do you reflect on the crash and the safety improvements that followed, particularly after Eastern Creek 95 and Bathurst 06?
The Eastern Creek 95 shunt led to a clearer understanding of interior safety and the need for stronger bars and more robust chassis design. In Bathurst 06, the experience emphasized the critical link between engineering upgrades and on-track performance, reinforcing the move toward greater torsional rigidity and safer seat mounting to protect drivers in future events.
V8SP: Mark Skaife | Part 1 - The big Creek shunt, Bathurst '06, Willo's Supra and more!
Q: What exactly happened on the Bathurst grid that day in 2006, and how did you experience it from inside the car?
On the warm-up and start sequence there was unexpected clutch slip that prevented proper wheel spin, followed by a dramatic lack of warning. It was a pressure-filled, highly scrutinized moment, and the team later confirmed the issue with the clutch mounting; the outcome was a race that highlighted reliability issues and the intense pressures of Bathurst. The record shows there was no prior indication, and the scenario unfolded in real time with drivers and crew trying to adapt.
The Undercut – Should rivals be friends?
Q: What are your thoughts on whether rivals can be friends in the current era of racing?
The consensus is that rivals can be friends, but it depends on the level of public display and the individuals involved; off-track camaraderie is possible without destroying the on-track rivalry.
