  • V8SP: Tickford Racing’s Simon Brookhouse

    V8SP: Tickford Racing’s Simon Brookhouse
    Jul 10 2025
    Tickford Racing chief Simon Brookhouse joins us for this edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum. While he’d not been directly involved in motorsport prior to being recruited as Tickford’s CEO in early 2024, Brookhouse explains his background in other sports as well his own visits to Mount Panorama in his younger days. He also talks about some of the challenges that faces Supercars as a sport in the future – including one unexpected area that is becoming an increasing issue for teams – Triple Eight’s arrival as Ford’s homologation team for 2026, the repeated rumours over Tickford being sold and his take on whether the sport’s future is with private equity owning teams, the future of Super2 and building brand new cars for it, the team’s long-mooted move from its Campbellfield home, and plenty more.

    V8SP: Lee Holdsworth (Part 2)
    Jul 8 2025
    We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal. For the final part of our two-part chat, we recap the extensive celebrations that followed his Bathurst win – including the Monday morning phone call from a rival team owner with an offer to race full-time in Supercars the next year! Holdsworth talks about navigating changing his 2022 plans to drive for Grove Racing, his offer to race on into the Gen3 era full-time, working with a young Matt Payne, returning to Walkinshaw Andretti United for 2023 but knowing he had next to no chance of winning Bathurst, his return to Team 18 that would’ve seemed unlikely just a few years ago, and his new life outside of motorsport working in commercial real estate.

    We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal. For the first part of our two-part chat, we wind back to his last visit - and all the things that were going on at that time that he couldn’t talk about! One of those things was his co-drive deal with Walkinshaw Andretti United, which had yet to be announced. We chat about the uncertainty he felt in the wake of being unexpectedly cut loose by Tickford at the end of 2020, how his deal to join WAU came together, plus a lot of inside stories of he and Mostert’s dominant weekend at Mount Panorama. We’ve never had a guest reference ‘Kevin Bloody Wilson’ on this podcast before, but we have now! Lee also tells the story of how the team’s post-race inspection of the car revealed that their shot at victory came quite literally a centimetre from unravelling… V8 Sleuth Superstore >> https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ V8 Sleuth Podcast Plus >> https://v8sleuth.supportingcast.fm/ Learn more about your ad choices.
