]]> RallySport Magazine will@an1media.com Les Walkden, the legendary Tassie team manager On this episode of RallySport Magazine's DustTrails Podcast, we head to Tasmania to speak to Les Walkden, one of the real unsung heroes in Australian rallying. Les is a guy who's more known behind the scenes than behind the steering wheel, but that certainly doesn't lessen the impact that he's had on the sport.  A member of the Australian Rally Hall of Fame, Les, who's now 77, began his rallying in the 1970s, winning two Tasmanian Rally Championships before moving into a team manager role in 1993. He's nurtured and guided drivers like Ed Odynski, Michael Guest, Juha Kangas, Simon Evans, and Brendan Reeves, while in recent years, ran the Subaru factory rally team where Molly Taylor took victory in the 2016 Australian Rally Championship.  Today, he still has his finger on the pulse, running Bodie Reading in the ARC, with a keen eye on the future. Peter Whitten caught up with Les in Launceston to go over some of the highlights of a remarkable career that has so far spanned over 35 years.   DustTrails is produced for the Motorsport Podcast Network by RallySport Magazine >> ⁠https://rallysportmag.com/ Fri, 12 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000 full RallySport Magazine On this episode of RallySport Magazine's DustTrails Podcast, we head to Tasmania to speak to Les Walkden, one of the real unsung heroes in Australian rallying.

From early days rallying Mini Coopers and even a 1960 DeSoto, the Victorian quickly made a name for himself by winning the 1983 Victorian Rally Championship. He followed that up a year later by winning the national championship as a privateer, driving a Mitsubishi Galant against ex-works Fiat Abarths and Ford Escorts. A two-time Alpine Rally and Australian Safari winner, ‘Dinta’ sat down with RallySport Magazine’s Peter Whitten for our latest DustTrails podcast. Dinta talks of that successful 1984 season, and of losing the 1983 ARC by just a single point, while also going into detail about a drive for Holden in the 1995 Round Australia Trial that was scuppered at the last minute. Still getting behind the wheel occasionally in his Galant, and now a key member of the RallySafe team, he speaks candidly about a brilliant career – backed all the way by his just as enthusiastic wife, Kate.

Special Stage is produced for the Motorsport Podcast Network by RallySport Magazine >> https://rallysportmag.com/ New Zealander John Kennard is best known for his co-driving days with Hayden Paddon, but as we learn in this podcast, his career was long and decorated before that.

Kennard takes time out of his busy schedule to chat on our DustTrails Podcast and in the first episode of two, he explains his early career and the steps that took him to the top of the sport.

After getting his start with Brent Rawstron in New Zealand, he competed in the 1000 Lakes Rally in the 1980s and also got a World Rally Championship podium at Rally New Zealand alongside Malcolm Stewart.

Kennard chats about his time with the Subaru World Rally Team which started at the famous 1995 Rally Catalunya in which he was tasked with hailing down the flying Colin McRae.

The career then took him to Kenya for months at a time and also to the USA for an all-conquering program with Mitsubishi.

Having begun his career by winning the inaugural Daihatsu Challenge alongside Leigh Hynes, the West Australian quickly made his mark and climbed the co-driving ranks. He sat beside his boyhood idol, Greg Carr, in a works Hyundai, then teamed up with international stars Greg Graham, ‘Monster’ Tajima, Toshi Arai and Chris Atkinson. Most recently, Macneall has guided Scott Pedder in the Australian Rally Championship, and while his major focus is business rather than co-driving, he still has plenty to give.
