The Motorsport Brief | A moment of F1 Montreal madness
Senna said if you no longer go for a gap you’re no longer a racing driver but the gap wasn’t big enough on this occasion. Lando Norris admits it was the wrong move and has handled the incident with teammate Oscar Piastri near the end of the Canadian Grand Prix like a pro. There’s still a long way to go in this F1 season so was the risk versus reward worth it in that split second decision? Matt Hickey from Code Sports rejoins us in the Garage to debrief round 10 including George Russell’s timely win and a popular first podium for rising star Kimi Antonelli. Plus SVG’s NASCAR win in Mexico, the Le Mans 24 hour and the new F1 movie with Brad Pitt is about to drop. Will there be a little Aussie flavour to the much anticipated Hollywood blockbuster?

Give the first two parts a lesson before you dive into this one. Testing a Supercar at Queensland Raceway with Dick Johnson Racing and why it was a childhood dream.

Dean Herridge | Part 2 - Subaru Loyalty & Success In Asia
From a blind tyre test to wowing the judges in a shootout at Mitsubishi for a factory drive. Riding alongside Ed Ordynski and a moment of realization around how hard you can push production based rally cars. Staying loyal to Subaru and why his Dad (Rob) told Management that it was important Dean carved his career rather than living in his shadow. Driving for legendary rally star Possum Bourne and how Dean learned of the Kiwi’s tragic passing plus beating some big names in longer distance events and why it seemed to suit him. And success in Asia as well as his first experience with hotel quarantine years before the pandemic!

Dean Herridge | Part 1 - The Herridge Family & Going All In.
Rally driver, Team Owner, Broadcaster. And he’s good at all of ‘em! Recorded at the www.maximummotorsport.com.au workshop in Perth, Dean recalls his earliest memories of his Dad’s rallying and the impact it had. (You can find Rob’s ep in our library and it’s a three parter too). These days Dean runs Maximum with one eye on the history and legacy of what his Dad built and the other eye on taking the business in a direction that is part race and rally car preparation as well as a proud official Subaru Motorsport Parts distributor. How it all started for Dean with some paddock bashing to taking their own car to the UK for an assault on the British Championship. The competitive traits of the Herridge family and giving up a promising career in conveyancing to go ‘all in’ on the professional driver path. And a rare Subie they acquired for significant step in the Aussie Championship.

We recorded this chat in the Arise Racing transporter at the Queensland Raceway round of GT World Challenge Australia.
