MARCOS AMBROSE: V8 SLEUTH PODCAST

THIS week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco we’re chatting with Marcos Ambrose.

After a few years away from the sport, Ambrose explains how he has come to be the Competition Director at Garry Rogers Motorsport plus a TV pundit for Supercars’ broadcasts.

We look back at his time racing Formula Ford in Australia and abroad, his first V8 Supercars drives in a Holden, his first Bathurst with Stone Brothers Racing in 2000 – no, that’s not a typo! – and his misfortunes at Mount Panorama, plus his championship success at SBR.

He also tackles our new segment What’s In Your Cupboard courtesy of The Motorsport Trader as well as your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions, plus the V8 Sleuth Top 10 Shootout.
