We’re on the road for this latest feature episode in a workshop on the outskirts of Melbourne with Supercars driver and broadcaster Jack Perkins. 

Jack opens up about the deep-rooted passion for motorsport that runs in his family, tracing back to his grandfather's competitive spirit and involvement in motorsport before and after WWII. He shares heartwarming stories of growing up, visiting the family farm in Cowangie, and why harvest time holds a special place in his heart.

The episode takes a nostalgic turn as Jack reminisces about his father, Larry Perkins', thrilling yet perilous days in Formula 1 during the legendary 1970s. It's a candid look into a time when the sport was fraught with danger, but also filled with undeniable excitement and innovation.

But perhaps most touching is Jack's story of how he, as a young boy, persistently badgered his father for a Go Kart—a request that would eventually see a third-generation Perkins take the competitive motorsport stage.

Dive into the world of racing legacy, family bonds, and the undying love for motorsport in this compelling episode of Rusty's Garage with Jack Perkins.
