Hunter McElrea: One on one after his impressive IndyCar debut

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 00:03:03 -0000

FOR AS long as he could remember, Hunter McElrea wanted to be an IndyCar driver. On Sunday, July 21 he quite literally lived that dream, making his NTT IndyCar Series debut with Dale Coyne Racing on the streets of Toronto - so of course we needed to get the lowdown. From the seemingly fruitless chasing of a drive all year to a late call-up to test for Coyne's team at Mid Ohio and then landing the seat for Toronto, Hunter tells the full story of the build-up, testing and then his debut weekend.

From what it's like to drive an IndyCar, the hybrid system, braking and Toronto's walls to racing legends old enough to be his father, this is a ripper insight into both the journey and what the destination is like when he got there. Following our chat with Hunter, it's the regular Hot's and Not's from the week that was in motorsport, and boy, there were plenty.

Supercars mid-season report-card.. who passes? Who fails?

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 04:13:00 -0000

WE'RE half way through the Supercars championship, so it's time to run our eye over the team performances from the season so far via our patented, annual (this year, anyway) mid-season report card. Every team gets a grade and we're not mucking about - while some teams definitely get a passing mark, some of them don't fare particularly well and need to do plenty of homework before the year is out.. Do you agree or disagree? Let us know via the socials at @theracetorque now!

Todd Hazelwood on how to turn on a tyre

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 01:56:00 -0000

BRAD JONES RACING ace Todd Hazelwood is our guest this week and as well as recounting his hugely impressive weekend in Townsville last time out, he's also giving us some insight into what it's like to drive a Supercar.

Using his own battles to qualify well this year as an example, Todd guides us through what it takes to 'Turn on' (the innuendo is real) the Dunlop tyre for that one lap dash, how BJR and Tickford, for example, do things differently and what it's like to feel a brand-new tyre on a one-lap dash.

It's a fascinating insight into how these ace drivers are working on their own driving, as much as the car itself, to get the most out of the package in a bid to get up the front.

Plus, there's a British GP review and then a recap of the most excellent TSV 2.0 weekend that saw some of the best racing of the season. There's a full crew this week, too: Tony Schibeci joined by Craill, Walker and Rodgers for the debrief.

Then the OTG talks the fallout of the decision and previews this weekend's NTI Townsville 500 as the Supercars prepares for what looks like another double dose of North Queensland action.

WE'RE talking kids books this week as noted Motorsport PR guru and author Grant Rowley joins the show to talk about his series of five new motorsport-themed kids books, titled 'Little Heroes'.

The books follow the journeys of motorsport legends Jim Richards, Peter Brock, Molly Taylor, John Bowe and Dick Johnson and are a sensational addition to the motorsport publishing landscape.

Rowley talks about the genesis of the idea, working with the stars in question on their respective books and the potential (given we expect these to be a sales success) for more racing legends to be featured moving forward.

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:18:00 -0000

Thomas Randle on his full-time news

WE are pretty open about the fact that we're fans of Thomas Randle On the Grid, so it only seemed logical to get him back on the show this week following the announcement - finally - that he would be a full-time Supercars driver in 2022.

As always, Tom is honest and open about his journey to this point, the surprise of how the news was broken at the weekend and yes, you'd better believe we asked him to go into great detail about how he set up that mega pass on Anton de Pasquale at turn one, too.

Then we discuss the new and improved Darwin event and the potential for there to be more of that - Bikes, Drag Racing or otherwise - at other events on the calendar, plus a recap of who did what in the Top End.

CHAZ MOSTERT is locked away at Walkinshaw Andretti United for the next few years, shutting down one of the big silly season 'what if's' half way through the year. He's on the show just hours after announcing his new deal to give us the details.

From why he's stayed with WAU, the rebuild of the storied squad to its current competitive state and whether Zak Brown has promised anything cool should he win, it's all here in his one-on-one with our man Tony.

Then the team gets the full FOMO with Darwin on this weekend and looks ahead to one of the most exciting rounds of the year as the new Super Soft tyre and an always unpredictable event promises to throw the form guide out the window. That's this week, On the Grid!

Leigh Diffey joins us post Indy 500

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 01:49:00 -0000

THERE'S no one better to help debrief the incredible Indy 500 than the man who did such an incredible job calling it - NBC Sports' Leigh Diffey.

The boy from Brisbane is acknowledged as the voice of IndyCar racing these days and his call of Helio Castroneves winning his fourth 500 was memorable for all the right reasons.

Leigh reflects on the privilege of being part of history, the significance of having fans back at the Speedway, the call and his upcoming adventure to call track and field for NBC at the Tokyo Olympics.

Then we speak to Tom Arciuli from Doric, one of the longest serving supporters and sponsors of Aussie motorsport, and find out what makes motorsport sponsorship work, how it operates and why they pick the drivers to support that they do.

Wed, 26 May 2021 04:02:00 -0000

A DIFFERENT On the Grid this week - you see, we plain ran out of time to book a guest so instead it's Schibecs, Craillsy and Walker rabbiting on about everything in the racing world.

There's a Winton preview, a look at Indy500 qualifying, everything wrong with the Monaco GP and a random, Indy-inspired theory for changing up Bathurst qualifying.

Honestly, if you were going to miss a show, this would be the one to skip because if you're looking for a fascinating guest filled with deep racing insight, you've come to the wrong place.. Otherwise, join the sleep-deprived fun!

We chat to Marshall Pruett about the Indy 500 & Scott McLaughlin

Wed, 19 May 2021 04:02:00 -0000

THE INDY 500 is just around the corner, so On the Grid is taking this opportunity to look ahead to the race and, in particular, assess Scott McLaughlin’s impact on the US scene so far.

We can waffle on about it, but we also have zero credibility – so we thought we would rope in someone who does.

Marshall Pruett is the best IndyCar journo going around, covering the series for RACER.com and his own podcast.

He also loves all things Down Under so he’s the perfect man to give some insight on not just how Scotty Mac has performed so far, but how he has been embraced by the series, his rivals, the media and indeed, the US fans.

After that it’s our usual prattle as the boys chat about Australia’s most underrated racing drivers and launch a quest to name the top 10 from that particular category. That, Schibeci butchers the name of the show for the second time, and much more.

As well as discussing that slightly unexpected success and the season so far, Stephen looks ahead to his goals for the team moving forward, talks his own racing in Carrera Cup and GT World Challenge and future 12 Hour plans - and more.

Then we chat to Cameron Hill, who is doing incredible things in this year's Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship, winning his third-straight round at the weekend. He's a star and doing big things in arguably the most competitive one-make championship in local history..

Bowe is first up, discussing his ongoing health battles and his openness in discussing it with the broader public. He talks TCM, Gold Star memories and S5000 plus a whole lot more. As always, he’s a ripper chat.

Unfortunately we ran out of time to discuss the fact that he’s been immortalised in a new range of racing-themed kids books published by Motorsport PR guru, Grant Rowley. To make up for that, you can read all about them here.

Then it’s two-time Gold Star champion Tim Macrow who is in the thick of the intense title battle for S5000 this weekend in Sydney. Claiming a third would put him in elite company of just five other drivers – can he do it? We literally asked the man himself.
