IT’S been seven years in the making and 564 episodes, but Steven Richards has finally joined us on the V8 Sleuth Podcast, powered by Parramatta Toyota!
Aaroon Noonan spent the afternoon with Richo, sharing epic yarns that cover some serious ground in this three-part special.
In the opening leg, the five-time Bathurst 1000 winner opens up on his status as an aircraft mechanic, his time with Team 18, a visit to the Goodwood Festival, his Formula Ford year, plus his time in AUSCAR at the Thunderdome.
In the second episode, he opens up about his time in Super Touring, both here and abroad.
On these shores, he raced for Garry Rogers Motorsport in the Australian Super Touring Championship aboard a range of machinery, from Alfa Romeo to Honda and Nissan.
From there, the conversation turns to his foray into Great Britain and the chase for a factory drive at the height of the British Touring Car Championship.
There’s the chance encounter with Roland Dane, plus the tough parting of ways with Garry Rogers, plus much more.
Stay tuned next week for Part 3, taking in Richo’s remarkable career in V8 Supercars.
