The driving force of the Race of Champions — Fredrik Johnsson — joins us to preview the ROC Sydney Show next March.

For more than 30 years the Race of Champions has travelled the globe pitting stars different types of Motorsport against each other in equal machinery to try and figure out who’s the best!

The line-up for ROC’s first trip down under is epic and includes. 4-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel, 9-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb, reigning Supercars Champion Will Brown, Extreme E champion Molly Taylor, X-Games legend Travis Pastrana and more.

What it takes to convert the stadium at Sydney Olympic Park, the types of cars they’ll compete in and we bounce round some ideas of who might fill the few remaining spots on the entry list.

Meet the new Sporting and Technical Director at Motorsport Australia. And, if the name rings a bell—it's for good reason. Lisa's father raced in Formula Holden, and although motorsport wasn’t always on her career radar, a move overseas nearly two decades ago changed everything.

Lisa’s journey spans the globe, from circuit management in the Middle East to working with elite categories in the UK. She’s held major roles with manufacturers such as Audi and BMW and gained invaluable experience in Race Control.

Her career highlights include working alongside legends like Carlos Sainz at Dakar and contributing to successful programs at iconic events like Le Mans and Spa.

In this episode, Lisa shares insights into her new role at Motorsport Australia, the challenges ahead, and her vision for the future of motorsport. Don’t miss it!

Rusty & Frosty click the chat up a few gears in this one with everything from Kung Fu fighting in Shanghai to the part he played in the movie Cars 2. What an experience!

There’s crystal clear memories of his Bathurst win in 2013 and the epic battle with Jamie Whincup that day as well as the title win a few years later and what it meant for the former Sydney sider to seal it in his old home town.
