V8SP Mini: What Murph and Ambrose really said at The Cutting in 2005…
This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol is drawn from Supercars legend Greg Murphy’s first visit to the pod back in 2020.
This snippet revolves around a regularly-mined topic come that special Sunday in October: his confrontation with Marcos Ambrose after they crashed out of the 2005 Bathurst 1000.
We’d received so many National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions about it that we simply had to bring it up – and Murph didn’t disappoint with his recreation of what the pair said to each other post-shunt. The V8 Sleuth bleeper hasn’t been the same since…
This Mini came from Episodes 66 and 67 back in 2020, a two-part chat via Zoom with Murph about his career to that point. To listen to the rest of the chat, tap this link >> https://bit.ly/V8SPMurphy

V8SP Mini: How siblings pulled off a ‘Bradbury’ moment
This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol features Nathan Pretty sharing a couple of tales from his rookie season in Supercars.
In this snippet, Pretty talks about a wild moment in the early laps of the first race at the 1999 Winton round, where he and sister Nicole used an old Thunderdome trick to avoid a host of crashing cars to vault, Steven Bradbury-style, from the back of the field to the front!
He also shares his side of the Bathurst practice crash later that year that led to Larry Perkins’ now-infamous synopsis: “Young bloke, cold tyres, f***ed up.”
This Mini came from Episode 212 back in 2020, the first of a two-part chat with Pretty about his career. To listen to the rest of the chat, tap this link >> https://bit.ly/4iIf1Dh

V8SP: The rise and fall of AUSCAR
This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol looks back at the rise and fall of one of Australian motorsport’s most exciting categories: AUSCAR.
Created as the second-tier category at Bob Jane’s Calder Park Thunderdome, AUSCAR quickly became a star attraction in its own right through a simple formula that had, at the time, disappeared from Australian circuits: V8 Holdens and Fords racing head to head.
We chat about how it came about, the star drivers, what triggered its downfall, where some of the cars went, and share your memories from an incredible period of racing.

V8SP: Greg Murphy
He’s back! Supercars hero Greg Murphy makes his second visit to the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol for this week’s episode.
A lot has happened since his debut appearance on the pod back in 2020 so there’s plenty to talk about.
Among the topics is talking about all the fun he had in the V8 Sleuth Heritage Revival at this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000, and plenty of chat about the upcoming Taupō Historic GP and some of the incredible cars and drivers that will be on hand for the event on January 11-12.
We also grill him on some Supercars topics, including his thoughts on the new Finals system and Richie Stanaway’s move to PremiAir for 2025, and get him talking about a few things from his career that we didn’t get a chance to ask about the first time around.

Ryco Rewind: When Will Davison hedged his brother on the last lap of the season
For this Ryco Rewind we're going back to the Sunday leg of the 2013 Sydney NRMA Motoring & Services 500 at Homebu… ahem, sorry … ‘Sydney Olympic Park’, a race that delivered one of the greatest largely unseen moments of ATCC/Supercars history: when Will Davison divebombed his brother Alex for seventh place on the last lap of the season. In Will’s defence, he had an extremely lucrative reason for doing so…
