Respected Motorsport engineer and Data Analyst Scott Sinclair joins us at Bathurst to look at some of the key considerations for Sunday’s Great Race.

He worked with James Courtney back in 2010 when he won the title for Dick Johnson Racing and listner’s may also know him from stints with the Holden Racing Team and more recently with Kelly Racing’s Nissan program.

These days he lends his expertise to the Supercars TV team helping the commentators tell the strategic story of the races and he provides fans with excellent exclusive content for the sport’s official website.

His latest column talks about what you need for success at the Bathurst 1000 and why it’s more than luck. https://www.supercars.com/news/expert-analysis-supercars-2025-bathurst-1000-strategy-explained-double-stack-pit-stop-ford-hopes

Fittingly Rusty and Scott talked as it began to rain at Bathurst. From the impact of wet weather, the value of the pre-event track walk, tyres, safety cars, having a closely matched co-driver, pitstops for brakes and fuel, plus the benefit of a little motivational radio chat.

Enjoy some of the engineering considerations ahead of this weekend’s Bathurst 1000 which you can listen too on our sister network Triple M as Rusty joins Daniel Leach live from Mount Panorama for the top 10 shootout on Saturday and the big race on Sunday.
