From go-karts to SuperUtes, Anthony Jewell has carved his way up the Australian motorsport ladder with a mix of determination, family heritage, and a touch of chaos.

In this episode, Shane and Brent chat with the Perth-based racer about growing up around race tracks, making the leap from Excels to Bathurst, and what it’s really like to drive up Mount Panorama for the first time.

Jewell shares stories of wrecked karts, reverse-grid nightmares, Street Machine magazine spreads, and lessons learned under pressure.

It’s a raw, funny and honest look at the grind behind the glory — and why you’ll never forget your lights out moments.

Grassroots racing done right. Michael Howlett joins Shane Lawrie and Brent Peters to talk father-son race days, state title glory, and wrangling HQs at Nationals with 50-car grids. From Sydney Motorsport Park to Morgan Park, Baskerville and beyond, he shares the tracks that shaped him, the e-scooter mishap that nearly derailed a round, and why the social side of HQ racing is just as important as the laps.

We dive into the endurance adventures, Collie pranks, the awkward brilliance of Dodge Vipers, and the challenge of keeping cars and parts alive. Michael opens up about racing alongside his dad, how not overthinking makes him faster, and what makes HQs the heart of Aussie club racing.

If you love barbecues, bent panels, and mates who’ll help fix your car after they’ve just punted you off—this is your episode.

Perth official and tarmac-rally tragic Taylor Grant has worn a lot of hats at CARCO Raceway: flag marshal, grid, recovery and event ops. He tells us how a flyer from the Wanneroo Flag Marshal crew in 2017 pulled him trackside, why “if you’re going to wave a flag, wave it like you mean it” is gospel, and how WA events have sharpened up—faster recoveries, better training, more new officials. We get into the calm (and the chaos) of race control, and his push to rebuild DriftWest into a proper, championship-style scene.

Plus: Taylor’s own rally journey (gearbox heartbreak included), the bucket-list dream of Le Mans/Singapore, and more.

Plus! Shane whinges yet again about an Australian motorsport legend who was rude to him over 30 years ago.
