Ep 192 Taylor Gill WRC2 Update

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 06:30:00 GMT

I started the year with an interview with Taylor Gill, who was runner-up in last year’s World Junior Rally Championship.

Since then he has picked up the Sir Jack Brabham Award that recognises outstanding achievement and success by an Australian motorsport competitor at the international level.

I caught up with Taylor this week on a zoom call - he is currently based in Finland - to talk about his debut WRC2 rally and his 4th place result behind three local teams.

We also have a chat about the rallies scheduled for later in the year.

Ep 188 Taylor Gill, 2025 Runner-up Junior World Rally Championship

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Episode 188 Taylor Gill, Junior World Rally Championship Runner-Up

Although this podcast typically focuses on historic road and race cars, we sometimes look to the future - and this is one of those times!

In December I met with Taylor Gill, a young Australian rally driver who missed last year’s Junior World Rally Championship by a minuscule 1.6 seconds.

This interview with Taylor talks about his fast rise to the World Rally series and his plans for 2026. I encourage every listener to get behind Taylor to help him become Australia’s first World Rally Champion!

An accomplished musician who played with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Colin's first taste of racing was at the old Warwick Farm circuit and did some Formula Vee racing in the day. Colin is also a member of the HSRCA and enjoys their race meetings.

Brian Lear, who created the collection over many decades, was well known in hillclimb and historic racing circles racing Elfins and Coopers. He donated his collection several years ago and in this podcast we find out how far Colin has got in working through 47 folders of media events. Brian's passion was to find all the newspaper articles of events - going back as far as 1905!

We talk about why they became "trekkers" and the experiences of driving to remote communities across Australia. We also cover the configuration and build preparations to make a car suitable for such a rugged event with some fun elements added as well! These guys have been to places that most of us simply dream about.

For both of them, it has become a family event with several generations involved in the Outback Trek whether it is driving/navigating or building the vehicles.

It is clear that owners of classic cars contribute a huge amount to the local communities they live in. Something that Governments at every level should be aware of - as well as local businesses.

Ep 127 Dr Michael Henderson

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 03:57:54 GMT

Episode 127 - Dr Michael Henderson.

Whilst at the HSRCA Summer Festival I had the opportunity to interview Dr Michael Henderson, a motor sport safety pioneer.

Dr Henderson has a number of safety inventions to his name including the six-point racing harness now widely used in all forms of motor sport. The idea came from aviation as many automotive designs and materials have done in the last 120 years.

Dr Henderson also worked on the Sigma Grand Prix safety design with Pininfarina and Ferrari, with many of the concepts getting into motor sport. He has also worked extensively in road safety all the while enjoying his own racing career and historic cars.

Our interview was with a background of historic racing, so sometimes the cars take centre stage!

Ep 126 The 2024 HSRCA Summer Festival

Episode 126 - The 2024 HSRCA Summer Festival.

On November 30th and December 1st, the HSRCA of New South Wales held their Summer Festival at Sydney Motorsports Park. I attended day one to enjoy the sounds, smells and vision of some amazing cars on track and around the paddock.

Although it was drizzly and wet, it was a great day of racing.

In this episode I introduce the HSRCA to those listeners who don't yet know how important the Association is to historic racing in Australia and describe the racing types and categories of cars.
