    Episode 29 - Josh Buchan
    2025/05/05
    In episode 29 of The Motor Dream Podcast, we dive into the thrilling world of TCR Australia, a touring car category that has provided a fresh dose of multi-manufacturer competition, reminiscent of the beloved Super Touring era of the 90s and offering a different flavour of high-octane motorsport to Aussie fans. Despite facing challenges with grid numbers at times, TCR Australia has consistently delivered exceptional racing. And for the past two seasons, one name has stood out above the rest: Hyundai's own Josh Buchan.

    We trace Buchan's impressive journey from open-wheel success, including a NSW Formula Ford Championship win and a runner-up finish in Australian Formula 3, to his dominant reign in TCR. From his debut wins at Sydney Motorsport Park to his consecutive championship victories in 2023 and 2024, we explore the stats behind his remarkable consistency and podium presence. Beyond TCR, we also look at Buchan's burgeoning career as a sought-after driver in categories like GT4 Australia and his recent outings with the potent Rodin Sintura. We'll delve into his petrolhead upbringing and his enduring love for early 90s Holden Commodores, showcasing the passion that fuels his successful career as a professional driver.

    Episode 28 - Annabelle Rolfo
    2025/04/21
    Episode 28 of The Motor Dream Podcast delves into a heartwarming and potentially historic story in history of endurance racing at Bathurst. Our guest is the determined young Queenslander, Annabelle Rolfo, who is set to take on the gruelling Bathurst 6 Hour alongside her father, Carlos. This father-daughter pairing carries significant weight, echoing a single previous attempt back in 1993 when Ray Gulson and his daughter Tania, alongside Ray's son Graham, aimed to conquer the Bathurst 1000.

    Now, 32 years later, Annabelle and Carlos Rolfo were poised to rewrite that narrative. With Carlos's background in production cars, karting and Super Touring, and with enthusiastic backing from Carbiz for their new Toyota GR86, they were ready for the Ultimate Showroom Showdown - the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.

    Annabelle, though relatively new to circuit racing, is no stranger to competition, having excelled in karting since the age of ten, including a Cadet 12 victory at the 2017 Australian Ladies’ Trophy. Her journey has taken her through the Radical Australia Cup, Queensland Prodsports, and the NSW Production Touring Cars Championship, even gaining valuable experience at Mount Panorama during Challenge Bathurst.

    Episode 27 - Emma Nedov
    2025/04/04
    Episode 27 of The Motor Dream Podcast continues its tradition of exploring the unexpected automotive passions of prominent Australian athletes, welcoming a new sporting luminary to the show: Emma Nedov.

    Widely celebrated as Australia’s ‘Beam Queen’ in the world of women’s artistic gymnastics, Emma was a key member of the Australian team that achieved a commendable top-ten finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the nation's return to the Games since 2012. This accomplishment capped a remarkable comeback for Nedov, who had returned to the sport after a brief retirement, adding to her already impressive resume as a multiple national champion and World Cup gold medallist on the balance beam.

    Beyond the chalk and balance beam, Emma Nedov harbours a deep-seated passion for motorcycling, a love ignited in her childhood. While an underlying interest persisted throughout her gymnastics career, it was during her initial retirement in 2020 that she fully embraced motorcycle riding. Now residing in Victoria with her partner Julian, also an avid rider, Emma enjoys open road adventures and has enthusiastically taken to track days at iconic Australian circuits. Her involvement even extends to occasional stunt work, promising an entertaining anecdote for listeners.

    Remarkably, Emma now combines her sporting expertise with her motorcycle enthusiasm, working as a qualified sports nutritionist and mentor for rising Australian motorcycle racers, including Australia's representative in the FIM Women’s Road Racing World Championship in Tayla Relph.
