MNews: Bathurst wildcard saga explained, Golding’s Supercars return

The Castrol Motorsport News Podcast explains the Superlicence saga that has thrown a Bathurst 1000 wildcard plan off-track. Host Andrew van Leeuwen and V8 Sleuth’s Stefan Bartholomaeus take you inside the confusing series of events that resulted in Bathurst builder Michael Anderson being denied the right to race in the October classic. The boys also discuss PremiAir Racing’s signing of James Golding, Aaron Seton’s Bathurst 1000 credentials and the merits of Supercars’ Super2 eligibility plan. There’s a look at the state of play in the Supercars title race as the midway point approaches and a review of the standouts and disappointments so far. Globally, the life-saving Halo and Ferrari’s race management were the talking points from Silverstone, while Scott McLaughlin did it again in IndyCar. A Motorsport News Mailbag question brings some interesting discussion around Shane van Gisbergen’s dodgy starts and the boys name their Castrol Stars of the Week. Learn more about your ad choices.
