Driver, Manager, Artist. This conversation will blow you away! Join Stefan Johansson with stories from his time in Formula One and going up against some of the toughest teammates in the sport’s history - Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna.  His love of Le Mans and Sports Car racing as a whole and why Stefan values this kind of competition so highly.  From the driver’s seat to managing drivers and what makes Scott Dixon so good. Plus, how a tragedy in F1 inspired the likeable Swede to take up art which now goes beyond canvas - his recent work on a rare Porsche is incredible. And the immense enjoyment of returning to Adelaide for the Festival in recent years where he was reunited with a Ferrari that played a special part in his F1 career, a car that resides down under.  Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's Garage.

From a family of true rally enthusiasts, despite being incredibly proud of his heritage he carved his own path, one that took him all the way to the World Championship. He even got to experience the fire-breathing Sierra Rally cars his legendary dad, Jimmy, tamed in the British Championship. Maybe you even remember the highlights on Wide World of Sports weekend coverage on Channel 9 back in the day! Growing up in Scotland, Alister gained hands-on experience prepping his cars in the early years and those skills served him well when it came to testing and developing in later years and he goes through it all! So, after several messages from our listeners, we have finally got him on. Hope you enjoy our own wannabe Scot, 'McRusty,' as he chats rally and more with Alister McRae. Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who else you want to hear from on Rusty's Garage.

Special Stage 2 is about to start! We have another fantastic chat with Scottish rally sensation Alister McRae, including details around his drives in a wild ex-Possum Bourne WRX. Alister will always love his Scottish roots, but he actually calls Australia home these days and there's another generation of McRae in rallying, with Alister's son, Max, climbing his way toward the WRC. Alister shares how he supports Max’s ambitions while allowing him to navigate his own path. We also uncover Alister's hidden love of two-wheelers and gain insights into his work with Hyundai when the Korean manufacturer first set out to conquer the World Championship during a golden period for the sport. We respectfully avoid delving deeply into the passing of his superstar brother, Colin, but a nice memory or two pops up in conversation. Thanks to all of you who messaged asking to get Alister on the pod. Good shout!

It’s our first chance to talk to Shane van Gisbergen since his big switch from Supercars to NASCAR, and it’s clear he’s loving this new chapter immensely. Thank you to everyone who responded on social media to our call for questions, including those who put their best radio voices on and sent in audio. While we couldn’t get to all your questions in the time Trackhouse Racing kindly gave us, we covered most of the recurring themes. Shane provides great insights on how wild the cars feel on ovals, drifting and burnouts in a NASCAR, his potential plans for more Sprintcar racing, the advice he's received from legends on both sides of the pond, and whether he would consider an Indy 500 wildcard like Kyle Larson did this year. Although we didn’t discuss his now-trademark celebration of kicking a footy into the crowd, we love how SVG is bringing some Kiwi rugby roots to the United States and making his mark!

What took us so long? Supercars star Chaz Mostert joins us for a Darwin debrief. Ricky Bobby had Shake n Bake, but Chaz pulled off the ‘Cheeseburger Chase’ at Hidden Valley, making a string of epic passes to turn a tough weekend around. He shares what Walkinshaw Andretti United needs and the good things already in their arsenal. We also look ahead to the next round at Townsville, discuss reuniting with Lee Holdsworth for the enduros, and get Chaz's thoughts on his fast and funny new teammate, Ryan Wood. But it's not all about Supercars. We delve into the wild modifications he's made to his first car (which he still has), his joy in fatherhood, racing in GT3, and owning a team in GT4. Plus, we check in on his #nosocialhate initiative, a reminder for all of us to play nice online.

Four-time Mr. Motocross title winner Craig Dack was recently inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame, prompting Rusty to realise that a chat with ‘Dacka’ was long overdue. The result is an awesome episode, not just for Supercross and Motocross fans. From watching the legendary Stephen Gall (who is coming on the pod in the next few months) at Amaroo Park and trying to do monos like him on his BMX bike, to cutting laps on his first motorbike around the backyard on Christmas Day, there was no turning back from that moment. We reminisce about the catchphrase “Dack Attack” and the journalist who started it, how surreal it felt to race at famous venues in the United States, and how his success extended beyond bike racing. There was the time his physio shut down a plan to go riding with an AFL superstar, and how the Supercross Masters promoter was worried his headline act was injured in an aerobics TV show promo gone wrong. We also discuss a little-known plan by one of the greats of Australian Touring Car Racing that very nearly saw Craig switch to four wheels.

After winning numerous titles in Australia, conquering New Zealand, and proudly wearing the green and gold while racing overseas, Dacka decided to stop competing in the early '90s to start his own team. This venture has enjoyed just as much success and continues to thrive. Managing his own deals as a rider helped him navigate the corporate sponsorship landscape. The depth and strength of these relationships led CDR to celebrate a 30-year milestone with Yamaha in 2023. Decades-long partnerships like this are incredibly rare in the world of sport today. We also discuss his time working with a young and fiercely determined Chad Reed when he took on the US, developing people management skills for young riders with differing personalities, and the changes he's witnessed through the eras. Dack realized early on that he didn't want to turn them into carbon copies. Additionally, we touch on some special bikes he's kept along the way that bookend his riding career and his thoughts on the future.
