Rusty's Garage

Happy Bathurst Week, everyone! To gear up for the Great Race, Rusty sits down with Team 18 Team Principal, Adrian Burgess.

In this episode, Adrian shares his memories of winning the race and reflects on how this legendary venue compares to the iconic European tracks he worked at during his impressive tenure at McLaren in Formula 1, alongside legends like Mika Hakkinen and Ayrton Senna.

As this marks Mark Winterbottom's final Bathurst appearance with Team 18, there's a lot of anticipation surrounding the other star driver, David Reynolds, who famously triumphed here in 2017.

Adrian provides insights into co-drivers Michael Caruso and Warren Luff, who will play crucial roles in the Dewalt and Tradie Camaros, respectively. Plus, his take on managing a team of 25 people at the Bathurst 1000 and discusses strategic considerations with the Gen 3 machines.
