V8SP: Charlie O’Brien (Part 2)

We’re talking to Charlie O’Brien on our final episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco for 2022. In the last part of our two-part chat, Charlie talks about his years driving at the Bathurst 1000 for Allan Moffat, Dick Johnson and Tony Longhurst, his years racing NASCAR in Australia and his disastrous attempts to qualify for a Winston Cup race in the early 1990s. He also talks about racing in Super Touring, including the hilarious story behind his sponsorship by Virgin Cola, as well as racing in and winning the Bathurst 12 Hour with Mazda. Charlie also talks about coming back to race Carrera Cup in the 2000s and how it led to his final V8 Supercar race start at the 2004 Sandown 500 – and why that race remains a regret – and racing in V8 Utes. He also tackles your National Motor Racing Museum Couch Racer Questions. V8 Sleuth Superstore: https://superstore.v8sleuth.com.au/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
