Kids the F word gets used a little so Santa would like you to block your ears as we enjoy a laugh with the very funny brother of Indy 500 winner Will Power.

How they fired up the 2-strokes and took the karts out in Toowoomba when they were youngsters. (Ok that’s Rusty’s attempt at using nice words to basically say they terrorized the neighbourhood!)

Turning hard right and pursuing a career in standup comedy and how, just like racers, it’s a hard road to begin with.

The family pressure to win a charity race while performing in Edinburgh this year and the little known movie that Damien shot recently with Will.  We can’t wait to see it once it’s finished!

Oh and the sage social media advice we all should heed plus Damien’s new special just dropped. Check it out at https://damienpower.com/.

With Sprintcars on the VAILO Adelaide 500 schedule, we thought it was time for another catchup with world renowned driver, James McFadden who will be racing the NAPA Auto Parts backed Hodges Motorsport #5 in Adelaide.

J-Mac talks about the reasons behind his shock decision, explains what’s next and shares some highs and lows from his time in the States.

We look ahead to a significant moment for the sport (in this part of the world) and what his expectations are with the Hodges Motorsport team this weekend.

It’s been a hell of a ride for J-Mac, but as you’ll hear he’s at the peak of his game and still deeply loves turning left and standing on the gas! Enjoy the ride. 

A huge thank you to Tim Hodges from Hodges Motorsport for making this chat possible.

Recorded at Focus Driver Performance Centre at Sydney Motorsport Park, Rusty and Josh chatted before he hopped into his Hyundai Elantra TCR car to continue the defence of his 2023 Australian Title.

Buchan was on double duty, driving a McLaren in the GT4 Championship at SMSP too, where he finished 2nd outright on Sunday and took a class win.

Josh discusses his time in TCR, how he got the big break with HMO Customer Racing, what it was like working with the legendary Rob Benson, the nail biting finish to last year’s championship and how close he went to losing it.

He talks about working with Hyundai away from the track and the passion behind the N performance brand - including the Aussie influences.

Plus, taking on the TCR World Tour teams and drivers and what the future holds for this proper student of Motorsport who still can’t believe he’s made a life based round cars, car culture and of course racing!
