Rusty's Garage

Making it to Europe & memories of his time racing there as he chased a drive in Formula One.
Some of the names he was around back the junior days in the UK like Lewis Hamilton.
Forming a friendship with Mark Webber & the training they did together including some life lessons as he climbed the ladder.
Driving the Minardi F1 car at Misano which he recalls in vivid detail even now.
Switching to Supercars & just how big that move was before landing multi year deals with all of the gun teams in pitlane.
Plus wins at Bathurst & against the odds performances for smaller teams which gave him enormous satisfaction.
As well as the next chapter with Grove which he is looking forward to immensely.
This ep just keeps getting better. You’ll understand why we reckon it’s among our best from the moment you hit play!

The family’s rich racing history which Will has an acute appreciation for.
A WWII story of bravery & survival generations before him & its link with Motorsport.
Racing karts & taking a break for a while before getting back in ‘boots n all’ with a renewed commitment & impressive speed that set him up for a full time career.
Forming lifelong friendships with Jamie Whincup in Formula Ford & recognizing Will Power’s talent early on.
Plus getting back in a single seater in New Zealand & his impressions of the Formula Atlantic.
As well as the chance to decompress & enjoy some perspective ahead of a season of change for Will in 2026.
This conversation is beautifully philosophical at times but you’ll come to appreciate Davison’s ability to harness the tough stuff in our sport & use it as a powerful motivator.
And why he’s loving family life too.

The 18-year-old Kiwi is back home for an awesome summer of racing before jetting back to Europe for a big year in F3.
We spoke with him at Taupo International Motorsport Park ahead of round 2 of CTFROT - Toyota’s ultra competitive single seater series.
Louis won the opening race of the season last week as the Next Gen NZ Championship launched into four straight weeks of events.
Where he gets his inner drive (lets just say he’s very determined), how he’s framed an at times difficult season in 2025 and some thoughts on the year ahead with Prema.
Plus his adrenaline addiction and sky diving while he’s here with last week’s pod guest Ryan Wood.
Hope you enjoy getting to know a young racer with a great personality who would love to add his name to the prestigious list of winners of the New Zealand Grand Prix before he jets back out to Europe for the year.

‘Woody’ is stepping into an open wheeler over summer and we caught up with him on the eve of round 1 of the Toyota series that’s now badged CTFROT.

There is a seriously impressive line-up here trying to follow in the footsteps of Arvid Lindblad who won the title last year on the way to a full time drive in Formula 1. (You can find Arvid’s shortcast ep in our library).

The new F1 champ Lando Norris is another former graduate of this series.
How Ryan is coping with the different demands of open wheel racing and how the MTEC crew wisely includes some of his colleagues from the Walkinshaw Supercars squad.
Plus some thoughts on the new Supra he’ll race in the Supercars Championship this year and the ways Kiwi legend Greg Murphy helps him as he continues to climb the ladder.
