Brooke Tatnell | Part 2 - Sleeping in cars & outlaw wins.
Brooke’s kids tell him to give them the short version but the convo is flowing and I don’t want it to end. This second part has a strong US focus. From the sacrifices to break into the competitive American scene and how his achievements there took the respect for Aussie Sprintcar racers to another level. Why his decision to be ‘hands on’ with the car is both an asset and something that’s sort after.Marrying an all-American girl from a legendary speedway family and the third generation Tatnell racer who is already well on the way. Plus the 12 year stint driving for Krikke Motorsport and his mateship with Shane. And is there some unfinished business behind the wheel? It’s an incredibly candid episode from one of the greats of Australian Sprintcar racing.

Brooke Tatnell | Part 1 - Passing Steve Kinser & garaged rarities.
His disciplined work ethic started as a five year old in the family business but he wasn’t allowed at the track unless school homework was done. Brooke Tatnell shares some special memories of his late, legendary father George and how he is still coming to terms with his passing. Karting in Lithgow and the right of passage - wheel packing in a Sprintcar as a teenager. How his Dad sang out words of wisdom from the infield and overtaking the King Steve Kinser (on media day laps). He thought he’d arrived. Plus how serious Brooke was about circuit racing in Vauxhall Super Tourer and holding on for dear life trying to learn NASCAR lines at the Thunderdome. This is Brooke in his words like you’ve never heard before. 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.

The Motorsport Brief | A moment of F1 Montreal madness
Senna said if you no longer go for a gap you’re no longer a racing driver but the gap wasn’t big enough on this occasion. Lando Norris admits it was the wrong move and has handled the incident with teammate Oscar Piastri near the end of the Canadian Grand Prix like a pro. There’s still a long way to go in this F1 season so was the risk versus reward worth it in that split second decision? Matt Hickey from Code Sports rejoins us in the Garage to debrief round 10 including George Russell’s timely win and a popular first podium for rising star Kimi Antonelli. Plus SVG’s NASCAR win in Mexico, the Le Mans 24 hour and the new F1 movie with Brad Pitt is about to drop. Will there be a little Aussie flavour to the much anticipated Hollywood blockbuster?
