Why didn’t we do this sooner! Rusty catches up with Bathurst and former Super 2 champion Todd Hazelwood for a gripping convo.

His Dad’s Desert Racing and why “Rusty” traded the bike to Hill Climb a special family car.

Todd begins his own racing journey on dirt and is immediately hooked.

Moving to bitumen and coming up against a young Cam Waters and Anton de Pasquale.

Making ends meat….that’s not a typo….how Todd and the family began Sausage Sizzle fundraising to keep the dream alive.

Formula Ford learnings and Formula 3 fascination.

And where Todd gets his unwaivering belief from even when the Mountain seems impossible to climb to the rest of us.

There is some great takeaways here for young racers from a self taught scholar in what our game calls the University of Motorsport.
