  • 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.

Unpacking an Epic Bathurst 1000 | The Undercut
Q: Is Brodie Kostecki our next current day Shane Van Gisbergen of Supercars Racing or Scotty McLaughlin?
Perkins says Kostecki has the race craft, technical understanding and pace to match those drivers on his day, while noting that closer competition among current cars can make dominance harder.
Unpacking an Epic Bathurst 1000 | The Undercut
Q: Was that Bathurst's worst ever undercut?
Perkins says Team 18's fuel strategy mistake was one of the biggest losses in Bathurst history, arguing the team should have challenged its software's fuel calculation with practical judgment.
What is the ideal Supercars calendar? | V8SP Q&A
Q: Should Supercars use a qualifying timing line like IndyCar, allowing drivers to finish a lap and return directly to the pits?
They see potential benefits at short circuits where cars can obstruct one another, but consider the approach track-specific and value the cooldown lap and crowd interaction at venues such as Bathurst.
What is the ideal Supercars calendar? | V8SP Q&A
Q: What is the ideal Supercars calendar?
The hosts suggest targeting 14 or 15 rounds, with 16 as a possible maximum, reducing Friday running at regular events, retaining three endurance races, and making room for regional circuits.
Garth Tander on Garry Rogers & more: Part 2 | V8SP
Q: With all of your experience, would you recommend that debutants sit down and do beers with a legend the night before the race?
Garth concedes that modern sports science would advise against that, but notes that in 1998 at Bathurst it was a different era and that such moments were part of team culture and personal preparation.
