Jack delves into the grey area of the rulebook, drivers picking their own race numbers, and drivers winning with more than two different manufacturers. What is the worst “best” finish from a manufacturer in Bathurst 1000 history, plus, who has led the most racing laps without winning a race? Make sure those questions continue to pour in – keep an eye out for upcoming Q&A shoutouts!

    Oct 29 2026
    THE Supercars Finals have landed for 2026, leaving plenty to unpack in this week’s episode of The Undercut! The V8 Sleuth Aaron Noonan is once again joined on the desk by Jack Perkins, who looks at the touchy subject of team orders when it comes to the Finals, Chevrolet’s need for a new calculator, and just how long is Chaz Mostert’s memory? The race to the Finals saw some big misses, plus Jarrod Hughes and Cooper Murray get their flowers, while the lads ran their rule over the contestants vying to get to Adelaide. Noonz takes a closer look at the famed Green Eyed Monster at the National Motor Racing Museum, while all of the key numbers from the Gold Coast are crunched for MySupercars. In a new segment, the lid is lifted on the GR Cup, with the one-make Toyota racers set to decide a new champion at the Sandown 500 meet. Jack is put to the test in the NTK Workbench; there are our Ryco Performers of the week, plus we drive into the vault for some champagne Sandown V8 Utes madness.
