A ‘Perfect’ preview of the opening round of the 2025 Supercars Championship this weekend with former Bathurst winner Nick Percat.
How he plans to build on wins at the Grand Prix and in Tasmania last year and will there be a change in his overall approach to ensure he makes the ‘playoffs’?
The growth of Matt Stone Racing, the emergence of young racer Cameron Crick and his impressions of fast GT runner Brendon Leitch after the Kiwi drove an MSR car in testing on Wednesday.
Plus Nick’s kart team, how much he enjoys racing under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park and the new Perdog/Sladedog album!

We begin the 2nd part of this Feature Episode with an impersonation that is usually reserved for the broadcast team during warmups - let’s just say that Jonathan sounds exactly like one of the Gods of motorcycle racing.
How he fell into Auckland Harbour once while doing a story with some Supercars Drivers - it made the nightly news!
Why the talent pool coming out of the New Zealand Summer Series is world class and his talented dog that goes looking for him behind the TV.
It’s the final instalment with a globe trotting Motorsport commentator who has seemingly endless enthusiasm and energy. The secret to his longevity and the message to aspiring broadcasters - get stuck in and don’t be afraid to give it a go!

Speed City’s main man is our latest addition to the Garage library. We spoke with him after five epic weeks covering Toyota’s Formula Regional Oceania Championship and the New Zealand Grand Prix.
But this ep won’t just appeal to the Kiwis. Lovers of Two-Wheels will enjoy it as well. Rusty talks to JG about his huge stint calling the World Superbikes with Aussie Steve Martin.
You’ll also learn about his family ties to a legendary British racer, the time Jonathan went from Hong Kong to Beijing to cover a rally and working on the Macau GP for over 20 years!
Oh and how turning down the chance to pursue acting lead to a life of journalism and broadcasting that includes Winter Olympics, Darts, Snooker and some good laughs too.

Will Brown and Broc Feeney join us as we wrap up a huge weekend at Highlands Motorsport Park.
How Will became the first Aussie in 50 years to win the prestigious race and how his Supercars teammate stole the pole with almost no single seater experience.
Don’t think for a minute that makes Toyota’s Formula Regional Championship a walk in the park. Both Brown and Feeney reflect on the calibre of competition among the aspiring F1 and Indycar racers.
We’ll look ahead to the 2025 Supercars season with them (it starts in less than a fortnight) plus the new look RedBull Ampol Racing colours they unveiled while they were in NZ.
Oh and Rusty tries to twist their arm to come back for another shot at the GP next summer. Better yet bring some of the other drivers with you lads!
Plus we introduce you to two young racers trying to make their mark OS after impressing here over summer - Patrick Heuzenroeder from Australia and a Kiwi who’s based in the UAE by the name of Zack Scoular.

Meet Arvid Lindblad, the Red Bull Junior who’s been unstoppable over summer in New Zealand, ahead of his first F2 race at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne next month.
The calculated decision to come down under to compete to ensure he has enough points for a Super Licence for F1. Could we see him drive in practice sessions this year maybe even a Grand Prix?
What a call from Helmut Marko is like, the time he told Lando Norris he would see him on the grid in years to come, and racing against Supercars stars Will Brown and Broc Feeney.
Oh and hanging out with David Coulthard to drive some cool older gen F1 machines.
Thanks to the Next Gen NZ Championship organisers and the M2 Competition team for their help in making this one happen.
