V8SP: Lee Holdsworth (Part 1)

We’ve got a Bathurst winner on this week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by the National Motor Racing Museum – and he’s a return visitor! A lot has happened since Lee Holdsworth’s last visit to the podcast in early 2021, headlined by his Bathurst 1000 victory with Chaz Mostert at the end of that year, plus an unexpected swansong full-time Supercars season that netted him the Barry Sheene Medal. For the first part of our two-part chat, we wind back to his last visit - and all the things that were going on at that time that he couldn’t talk about! One of those things was his co-drive deal with Walkinshaw Andretti United, which had yet to be announced. We chat about the uncertainty he felt in the wake of being unexpectedly cut loose by Tickford at the end of 2020, how his deal to join WAU came together, plus a lot of inside stories of he and Mostert’s dominant weekend at Mount Panorama.
