MNews: Bend Bolter! Talent or tyres behind Supercars shock?

Zak Best’s stunning and controversial speed in a Tickford wildcard at The Bend headlines this week’s Castrol Motorsport News Podcast. Host Andrew van Leeuwen and V8 Sleuth’s Stefan Bartholomaeus go through the what, when, why and how of the wildcard tyre batch drama, the youngster’s performance and where he lands in 2022. The Tailem Bend debrief also unravels the fallout from a sickening startline crash, the keys to more SVG domination and what Supercars’ rain masters have in common. There’s plenty of news topics for the boys to dissect too, including the latest silly season signings, Boost Mobile’s dramatic exit announcement and Brodie Kostecki replacing SVG in Trans Am. AVL has a great chat with David Reynolds, who was in fine form! The boys also give their take on the F1 silly season bombshell that has opened the door for Aussie Oscar Piastri at Alpine and Will Power’s fight for a second IndyCar title. All that plus the latest headlines from around the world, another great Motorsport News Mailbag question and the Castrol Stars of the Week. Learn more about your ad choices.
