The Motorsport Brief | The Quinn Family Tackle The Mountain Together
Tony Quinn is back on the pod to announce details of a Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 hour entry that spans three generations. His pride for this history making moment is arguably greater than his incredible business successes or the big global Motorsport events he’s tackled over the years. Next February the Quinn's will line up for the internationally acclaimed race at Mount Panorama. Tony, his sons Klark and Kent, as well as Grandson Ryder, who calls TQ Popeye! Wait till you hear which car they’re going to use and some of the people on the team spinning spanners and calling the shots. There’s some seriously good operators among the friends who will don the mechanics overalls to share the moment with them. Why Tony’s not making bold predictions about their chances and how it all came together.Plus his thoughts on Triple 8’s endurance campaign and some of the recent moves in the Supercars pit lane. This is Tony Quinn but not like other eps of the pod he’s appeared in underscoring just how much it means that the family has come together for a project that means so much more to all of them than just a tick on their bucket list. Rusty recorded this chat ahead of round 1 of the Next Gen NZ Championship this weekend at Hampton Downs which Tony & his team in New Zealand promote. There’s a strong Aussies vs Kiwis rivalry brewing too with GT3 and GT4 from Oz staging their final round of the season as a part of the event.https://nextgennz.co.nz/ Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's GarageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter Doyle Part 2 | dominating the US & moving to Motorcycling Aust.
Moving to America and playing an important part in an incredible period of dominance with Suzuki. The competitive intensity fellow Aussie Matt Mladin brought to his training and racing as well as the emergence of data and the deep dives that helped make him a better rider. Returning home and switching from team land, where you try to exploit even the smallest holes in the rules, to enforcing them for Motorcycling Australia. How policing the technical side lead to the top job, the challenges navigating through covid and a balance sheet that was on life support. The greenshoots in all areas of two wheel competition in Oz inspired by our MXON and Speedway teams in recent months. Plus working on the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame board and a park the politics ‘roll your sleeves up’ approach to management. Peter’s candid approach to story telling will leave you in no doubt that the right administrator can make a good Motorsport podcast guest.

Peter Doyle Part 1 | BBQ’s with legends & conquering WSBK
The straight talking CEO of Motorcycling Australia joins us for a feature length conversation that goes well beyond rules and regs. Doyle grew up in a family entrenched in the motorcycle racing community where the big names of the day would often be round for dinner. Living and breathing bikes had a profound effect on him. Peter rode as a young fella but openly admits that if he didn’t change some wild ways he could have gone down the wrong path in life. A decision to work on bikes rather than race them took him overseas to pursue success in the World Superbike Championship. He shared parts of the journey with names like Aaron Slight, Robbie Phillis (who are both in the Rusty’s Garage library) and many more. From home made spas in Germany next to Millie Vanilli’s recording studio to making the paddock realise it wasn’t just riders with talent that came from a land Down Under. This one ain’t full of management speak just because Doyley works for the Governing Body now. There’s some good laughs and engaging convo. Hit the starter and enjoy.

Shane van Gisbergen is back on the pod and he tackles your questions. With the NASCAR community raving about his performance this year (especially on road courses) we get his thoughts on the progress he’s making on ovals. Will he do some Sprintcar Racing or even the Chilli Bowl during the off season and has he nearly pulled a ‘hammy’ kicking that Rugby ball into the crowd. SVG managed to watch Bathurst around his Trackhouse commitments in Vegas and he offers up some observations on that classic edition of the Great Race. And why he’s wound back a bit of the SIM race prep but cranked up his views of onboard videos.Shane has made a few appearances on the Garage over the years but this conversation is one of their best.

John Smailes | Part 2 - a star struck Colin McRae and a new book on Colin Bond
The PR agency he established which became a benchmark with a strong automotive footprint and bluechip clients like Toyota. How working in TV complimented his business and why he always remained eyes forward when a chapter in broadcasting came to a close. The awkward moment between Rusty & Smailsey when their careers intersected and the respect they have for each other now. How a bet on Wayne Gardner lead to someone stripping in the back of an interview he did. And introducing rally legend Colin McRae to a hero of his. The 10th book he’s written, the story of one of Australia’s most versatile drivers Colin Bond who raced for both the Holden and Ford factory teams.https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/products/full-tilt-colin-bond-autobiography-book?srsltid=AfmBOopas6WLpdbRYpjoGB8PmnDEOwQJpRbzw2Yn4UZbBBJqN9b0kDhWPlus John’s passionate work on the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame and why he’s so determined to keep the inductees names up in lights.https://www.australianmotorsporthalloffame.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
