Great talking absolute nonsense with these blokes!

Given the chance to chat with Team 18 drivers James Courtney and David Reynolds, naturally I was going to ask all the big questions.

We covered everything from Dancing with the Stars to UFO encounters in Las Vegas.

You can follow the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Kevin Bartlett started in a Morris Minor and ended up in open wheelers, touring cars, the Mountain. If you know, you know him as KB.

He's the first bloke to average 100 miles an hour around Bathurst. He won the Great Race in the wet with John Goss in 1974. Ask most people though, and they'll bring up the Channel Nine Camaro on its roof in 1982. That's the clip. This conversation is the rest of it.

A special conversation with an extraordinary individual.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

Yutaka Sanada is the President and CEO of Nissan Motorsports & Customising Company (NISMO) and regional senior executive responsible for leading key operations. A veteran with over three decades at Nissan, he is well-known among car enthusiasts for his previous work as a project manager on the R35 GT-R.

Michael Hill is the Director of Aftersales at NISMO Australia. Following the announcement of the first ever Nissan Performance Centre outside of Japan in Australia, we had the opportunity to chat at Andrew Hawkins 2026 GT-R Festival in Sydney, Australia.

I attended my first ever GT-R Festival in 2026 and it won't be my last!

We sat down with the event creator Andrew Hawkins, to discuss his obsession with the GT-R and the global event he's created around it.

A great friend of the show and a massive contributor to the global car scene.

I first met Wayne as he was preparing Tanuki for WTAC 2025. Then we kept running in to each other at tracks around the country and locked him down for a chat.

His little side quest into the world of time attack has escalated somewhat, as he now has plans of melting track records.

If you're not familiar with any of this, Tanuki is a purpose built time attack car that started life as Nissan Silvia S13. Originally campaigned as the Hammerhead, Wayne found the car and managed to acquire the chassis.

Winning Pro Class at the World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) in 2025 solidified all the work that went into the development of the platform under his ownership.

With Todd Hazelwood behind the wheel, they posted a blistering 1m18.169sec lap to take out '25 Pro Class at WTAC.

With that under the belt, there's no signs of slowing down.

The Automotive Legend Known as "Mr. GT-R"Few engineers capture the heart of car culture quite like Hiroshi Tamura.

Known as the "Godfather of the GT-R," Tamura dedicated nearly four decades to Nissan Motor Co., rising to become the Chief Product Specialist for the iconic GT-R and Nismo programs.

He fell in love with the original Skyline GT-R as a teenager in 1970s Japan and joined Nissan in 1984.

We discuss his obsession with prioritising driver connection over raw horsepower numbers.

A special conversation with an extraordinary individual.

Matt Mingay started stunt riding in the 90s, much to the confusion of the family, who thought he should get a real job.

The pursuit of making a motorcycle do things it was never meant to do, didn't seem like a sensible career choice.

Until of course, the producers of this little franchise called Mission: Impossible came to Australia looking for a stunt double for Tom Cruise.

In what became a life changing experience, Matt's life was catapulted into the world of stunt riding and entertainment.

None of it has come easy and to say that it's been a bumpy road is an understatement of the century.

Despite near life ending injuries and setbacks, Matt has persevered in way that is almost superhuman. This is a very special conversation with a man who has demonstrated what can be achieved with the most phenomenal belief and relentless work ethic.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
