He isn't interested maybe can be advisor if they are open to suggestions from outside.. They need old style panel show on TV to keep people interested between rounds and FTA coverage on Saturdays when Football is all on Pay TV make it Supercar Saturday...
Just started watching this, can't wait to watch it all. Congrats on getting RD on the Show, it certainly adds another layer of credibility to your Show (not that you needed it for anyone who has been watching your podcasts from day one). What you guys are trying to achieve, which includes honesty and transparency for the genuine and knowledgeable fans of Supercars, is really appreciated by those of us who have felt as though we have been left in the dark about a lot of things going on behind the scenes in Supercars. It's great for us to have an opportunity to share our thoughts here, as it's always nice to know that others share the same concerns we might have. It feels like we are not alone, so THANK YOU.
Appreciate the message! Glad you’re enjoying the podcast and we’re stoked to hear you’re feeling heard! It’s certainly something we’re very passionate about and the feedback we receive is what will help steer the pod into the right direction in the future.
Looking forward to this one but couple of minutes into the podcast it's great to see RD doing well, looking good and healthy, also looks like he's lost some weight too. Forever an inspiration to anyone's professional career.
I recently got asked "who is someone you look up to? They don't have to be someone you know or someone who is directly involved in your day to day life" I had to think long and hard about it and RD came to mind. When this man speaks.. You listen. He speaks with authority, He never gets into petty things, He never speaks on things he knows little about and he backs what he says. I would've loved to have grown up around this man and used him as a guide to conduct myself as a person. Great interview guys. You need to get him in the studio. Keep up the great work.
Well just stumbled onto your podcast, now i'm in trouble with the better half enjoyed it so much I had to binge watch all your episodes. I have to admit I was never a Scott Pye fan but now I will be shouting for you to win Bathurst. Pete Adderton is correct in saying that V8 practice cars should be encouraging and promoting your amazing effort. WELL DONE go 87
Very Stoic pod boys, the wealth of knowledge and history RD brings is unrivalled. Great job on the questions. Good to see the funny side aswell. Boy could I tell some story's about old Matua....surprised he hasn't called in with a question yet. Might even come join ya for Sadda this year. We'll done
Hi guys Jules and I just listened to your pod whilst driving north on the Hume and Jules didn’t say a word….just nodded every so often. So it was great listening. Some great banter and RD insights. Keep up the good work. Grant R
Dick Johnson Racecam quote I remember well. Got time to talk Dick? "Mate I'm as busy as a dog trying to bury a bone in a marble floor" Then when he had a crack at Nascar and took racecam . They went to talk to him while racing at Watkins Glen just as he crashed and were too slow to censor him saying "Oh Fuck" That footage is on RUclips.
I think it would be quite interesting to see if you had random viewers on the show, not for the whole show, but a part of it and discuss their points of view to get their side of information/feedback/wants/needs to a series etc.
I love Crompo's technical deep dives but I equally love Larko's way of breaking things down in laymans terms. I think the best guy in Motorsport broadcasting right now is MotoGP's Simon Crafar. Damn shame we're losing him to the stewards room.
Craig Baird explained when he made a mistake good insight into process and freeing up some of the rules more like Nascar to improve the racing... Like Randle and Brown in Tasmania...
Great episode. Organised engine "blow ups" at social events in New Zealand have been around for years. We were doing it in the 80's and early 90's before I moved to Queensland.
Awesome as always! RD has always been insightful with what he says and makes some great points that some people should take into consideration .But in saying that sounds like he wasn't listened to about certain things in the past ..Cheers Guys..Roll on Bathurst!
have a control engine...its not a ford its not a chevvy its not a toyota...its just a 5litre what ever v8........everyone gets the same engine. Great chat with RD guys thanks for teeing it up and thanks to RD for making time for a chat.
Love him or hate him, a lot of people have different opinions of him , but I could listen to RD all day , he's not afraid to speak his mind and 99.9 percent of the time he speaks sense
Regarding Roland's answer about making Supercars more accessible to overseas viewers. I think the RUclips idea is a good one. Shane's appearance in Nascar has made millions of Americans curious to see more Supercars. Here in NZ we have every Xfinity and Cup race on free TV now and to be honest, other than Bathurst I don't watch Supercars any more because I can't justify 400 bucks a year for a Sky TV subscription. That's why Supercars viewership has dropped off over the last decade. Your average yobbo hasn't got truck loads of money to throw around.
Bloody excellent guys, agreed with everything and enjoyed the whole 2 hours.. my only suggestion is your next pod has to make up for the lack of sound checks.. 😅 100% agree with live streaming on youtube. The only sport I watch is supercars and kayo charges me $35 a month which is a bloody rip off. Unfortunately I can't afford to watch any more races after Bathurst which sucks.
Agree. I've only watched Bathurst for at least a decade. Costs about 400 bucks for Sky subscription here in NZ. NASCAR is on free TV here now every weekend so that's my new motorsports fix.
@michaelcrane2475 this year Ive discovered the Goodwood Festival in the UK and Lemans was live on RUclips aswell. Was excellent. Wouldn't have watched it otherwise.
Promoter could try a Summer Series with Euro spec Nascar and/or TA1 to match Speedway series could get some OS drivers and Supercars drivers run some night races at local tracks not used by Supercars...
I like Roland after he's retired, but as a competitor and at the head of 888 he contributed to where we are now in a negative way with the sport. Where all engineering is almost out of it because noone could keep up. They crushed everyone by just being better, as a result we have teams wanting more control parts to remove that issue. Can't hate the man, absolutely respect him but by his own admission teams shouldn't be in a position to be so influential. That was the beauty of tony cochrane, one authority who was only in it for better of the sport/product.
The biggest issue I have with commentary of Supercars is its intrinsic link to the "owner" of the sport. Commentators must be independent of the sport. There needs to be criticism and other opinions over how the sport is being managed. Using commentary teams to talk up rule changes or to nullify criticism by drivers in off the cuff comments is awful IMHO. Sandown had Larko talking up the "main drivers starting" issue and Skaife being subtely chided by Crompton for veiled criticism of the FCY situation illustrates this very issue. Both those rule changes are or were controversial at best and deserving of analysis by a very experienced commentary team. Alas, however, they are part of the corporate monster that is Supercars.
@@sbGOM Skaife being stoked the four nz drivers finished last in top ten shoot out is another example of his ego bullshit.... NZ round is sold out year in year out and sky TV pay big money to broadcast the series. Fuck he's a pile of shit
As the other commenter said, whatever RD said about SuperView is already there in the Supercars RUclips channel (paywall aside) and it works. Only thing I wish it has is 50 or 60fps
He said it should be free with international commentary think it would be better with local option separate channel with just qualifying and race rather than buying full foxtel or kayo package just for fans of Supercars...
What a year the 2006 Bathurst was... Lowndes and Whincup win the Peter Brock trophy and do it three times in a row, first for a Ford since 98 and first for T8, but also sadly fellow Kiwi Mark Porter, and co-driver for BJR at the time passed away on the Sunday from a support race crash on the Friday. Ohh and Skaife didn't make it up mountain straight from P1...
Give Garth the TV role ffs. Was never a Tander fan but he is good in the commentary box. Articulate and informative and also successful and has current knowledge
Justin Marks should jump on Daniel Ricciardo looking at more Project 91 and Indycar events... SVG could have Redbull team mate... Lowndes due for retirement soon maybe openings in Wildcards with 888...
Sadly I'm rapidly losing interest in Supercars, purely due to how it's being run and presented. On the plus side I'm developing a real interest in Nascar due to SVG's journey and the rather more raw culture. Supercars has become vanilla and increasingly bland. Supercars has a great product. Pity it's being fucked up...
Same here I'm really enjoying nascar this year and since Talladega I'm even enjoying the oval racing. I pretty much have to force myself to watch supercars at this point.
@@craig6744 You are not alone Craig. I know a number of people....die-hard fans, who are completely over Supercars and tired of the dumbed-down funnelled approach that seems to completely dismiss the intelligence of the fan base. Sorta like..we'll tell you what you need to know... It's interesting to watch the media interaction with SVG for example in the US where he gets asked reasonable questions and not not questions that tend to narrow the possible answer base.
Could not agree more !! Supercars have one of the best racing series in the world but the absolute morons running it are ruining it, Ive lost interest completely and so have all my mates, we used to go to Townsville and bathurst every year but we have all decided we arent giving our money to support the way things are being run......
@@Steve-jo3cl Seems there are a lot of people with similar opinions. Bathurst was a given for me to attend. No longer. For me SVG going to Nascar has opened up a whole new world of possibility. Never-ever-ever-thought i'd develop an interest in Nascar. Now...I look forward to the sheer number of races they hold...and trying to grasp the finer points of a racing style i once dismissed but am now embracing. From a fan perspective-so many nuances involved. Little things like families on the track before the race, kids there...real passion and fan involvement...sorta enforces the whole family involvement vibe. Different culture for sure-but potentially and hopefully we all gain from the strong points on either side of the pond.
VOTE 1: .......RD and TC to run Supercars or be Chief Advisors as soon as the opportunity presents and our great........well what was once great sport........could be revived to what it once was and actually be watchable AND competitive again.......
Bang on with the commentary, not talking about what’s happening on the screen. Just rewatch the Brodie and Shane battle at Barbagallo from last year. Skaife spent the whole epic battle telling Brodie what to do in the car and not actually just commentating to the audience what’s happening on screen like how a proper broadcaster would. That would have been an entirely different dynamic had there of been a pro broadcaster in there talking it up like how it should. I think the lack of exciting commentary we have at the moment is a catalyst as to why the races feel stale at the moment.
Would have been cheaper to allow engine map change last Bathurst and run till trigger got hit than start engine development race... Would have eliminated use of shift cuts to balance engine response... Cranks lasted season just reduce lifespan of that part to suit durability of bearings service at different interval...
The guy complaining about Superview is a bit odd, on RUclips the service works all the time, you can go back and watch whatever you want whenever, as an international viewer there’s nothing wrong there
@@gerardcrabb4556yea that’s not an issue for me luckily, the Australian TV deal is too lucrative for that to happen anytime soon though I’m sure. Don’t worry I get screwed on F1 and forced to watch dodgy streams 🤣
@@tobystent With new deal due they can open up more access.. You can find streams but not everyone wants to pay full Foxtel or Kayo just for non free to air Supercars races even restricted to qualifying and race locally...
I guess this is the fundamental difference between a true motor sports fans view ( not exclusively v8 Supercars) and a motor sports entrepreneur. For us, it's: Sport 1st Sport 2nd and Sport 3rd The difference between a sports fan and a businessman's idea of what a "sport" should be. I don't agree with RD on that basis. And what's wrong with a VSC. Slows cars down immediately before a safety car (if required) is scrambled.....or is that not American enough 😊
Sky Sport NZ is NZD $68pm, Kayo AUD $35pm, Foxtel AUD $69pm / $103pm. There's no free coverage of any race live in NZ. Australia get selected events on seven. I'd like to see RUclips subscription open to NZ/AUD fans but that would never happen with our current content providers. Superview is available on RUclips live but as paid membership outside NZ/AUS, which would imagine is a better product than Superview, rewind, pause etc.
They have DESTROY the series with this SHITTY nascrap play off's.. If this was in play in 2022 when shane won 21/34 races leading points by over 600 he would not of been champion because he didn't win the final race. Talk about and utterly stupid decision. F's in chat for Supercars Nail in the coffin
Roland should be running the series!
Indeed
Hell yes him an Pete adderton😀
as an undereducated supercar fan I literally can't think of another guy who could run it better, well i want to at least see him given a go
if facebook and speedcafe comments are anything to go by (they're not), apparently he's been running the series for years!
He isn't interested maybe can be advisor if they are open to suggestions from outside.. They need old style panel show on TV to keep people interested between rounds and FTA coverage on Saturdays when Football is all on Pay TV make it Supercar Saturday...
This podcast keeps getting better and better.

Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it.

The 60 second highlights supercars post on their RUclips channels says it all, Indycar and Nascar have 15-30 minute highlight videos.

I like the lucky dog procedure, for the reason of getting the lapped cars out of the leaders way to let them race
Fair point!
It should only be used to let the people that are lapped and in front of the leader behind the pace car go around and get out of the way.

if rolling stars are re-introduced to the category, they at least need to invest in a jetwash truck to blow the junk off the road first.

Get out of the shit show there and see the world fella...
888 GT cars and some Trans Am maybe... 888 could get back into Super 2 with young drivers and co-drivers...
