After trapesing nearly 12000 kilometers there was no one allowed into the Abu Dhabi circuit to watch the V8 Supercar races although it was pretty boring anyway with a trifecta for The Chin. Add insult to injury with Wayne Garder Mk II turning up and throwing his short person weight around like a nancy boy. And then there is the rather curious matter of The Gis and Lethal Lee who has been anything but saying a cya to SBR. Meanwhile Eddy Cue gets on the board of directors at Ferrari which means yo...

Harty returns from a rather difficult family moment in Sydney with Mother in tow to do episode 228 with JP who has just buried his brother-in-law. Casey delivers at PI. Abu Dhabi beckons. Moto3 starts to become interesting with a South Aussie in the mix. Was skeuomorphism the end of Scott Forstall or did he just get pushed out of Apple for being a hard ass. Free WiFi at Clipsal. Nissan unveils their COTF. We do not go to Winton to see the HRT COTF mule running. Nor do we go to Broadford motorcyc...

Our guest tonight is stranded in the Burnley Tunnel gasping for air in a ghastly Focus RS-ish green shirt inhaling nasty exhaust fumes. Suddenly the Good Doctor arrives in Car 52D Sheer and utter luxury follows with Le Fogeaux Harty and The Rusty Sausage enjoying a chilled Peroni on the Yarra River avec ordinary tapas. OMG. The Phoges pays. Just hear up hearers and enjoy.
Oct 23, 2012
There is a bit of misery at the World HQ today for both Harty and JP but the sudden arrival of FWBM and his wine tails lifts spirits somewhat. Overcast Korean F1 and miserable crowds. Stephane Ratel is not impressed by the ACO and FIA getting together to create a single GT class for 2014. International Pauly has his hands full with another DeltaWing Disaster at Petit Le Mans. Davo and Salo top GC600 test day. Ford bails out of WRC to much surprise. SBR brings out its Ford COTF only to realise it...
Oct 17, 2012
With Allan Simonsen hanging around the house all week JP and Harty take a break from it all and make Foges do the work. A blast from the Bathurst past phones in and JP updates everyone to whats going on in his signature tech time moment of glory.

Oct 06, 2012
Friday arvo in the Bathurst media centre and we are totally on pole with yet another motorsport Dane where we evaluate just how correct the new retro V8 Supercars are. More Apple Maps dramas along with backyard BBQ beautification as we tolerate those bledin beligerant back bitin Bathurst bogans braggers who are preparing the their bolar blade banquets. With a bit of live Dunlop Series thrown in.
Oct 04, 2012
Sans wine in hand International Pauly and Father of arrive for some Langhorne Creek liquid and explain whats right with LTE but wrong with governments despite his worldwide reign of the new again DeltaWing project.
Oct 01, 2012
The warm weather has arrived and with it our favourite Australian motor sport cartoonist is in for a chicken salad. Austin Texas track gets a go ahead from Charlie whilst Louise wants to pay less. Bentley shows a new GT3 car and ALMS GA tells us about the coming seasons. A new Brabs come onto the world stage unlike Apple Maps who now hate Google. And who would have thought Dick Smith could be sold for the same price it was bought for.
Sep 26, 2012
The Foges is in the F1 media centre at Singapore and he is a touch cranky due to humidity temperature and the fact that the Slings he had at The Raffles Hotel early toda, with that sneak Paul Marinelli aka Frostys PR Manager, have worn off.
Sep 22, 2012
Where does one start after a week like this with updates galore from Cupertino and snap press conferences in Melbourne. Mister Lo gets his hands on the iPhone 5 whilst Marcus escapes the clutches of Serbian gangster women. McLaren unviels the P1. iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 turn up. The HRT COTF gets a run. Vale Sid Watkins. iPhone build prices. Deltawing to return at Petit Le Mans with Gunnar Jeannette and The Don doing a production run. Melbourne to Adelaide speed zones.
Sep 19, 2012
The first time we have to pay for anything at the V8 Supercar races will be the last time we bother to go but such is the life of us media moguls that its never going to happen. That was ensured by The Father of Taz hauling us atop to his rather top notch corporate digs above Kelly Racing. With Harty shrouded in a Nissan jacket the weekend unravelled nicely with Rusty Sausage on show around the event. Screamer pipes were discovered and explained by Patrick. Foges eventually gets a word in over a...
Sep 15, 2012
Is it ok for Charlie Whiting to behave like he did at Spa and is The Schu allowed to pit suddenly. Grand Am to merge with ALMS gives mixed signals for North American racing. The Foges skypes in and out on his 4K Sony TV. Sony takes on GoPro whilst Nokia flat out fakes their Lumia 920 video. Kooky Pat drops in for tap water and stays for lobster pizza. Samsung may pay Apple in 5 cent pieces. The new Nissan V8 Supercar engine is unveiled. Lewis tweets. Zak Brown. McLarens out of B12. JP stands to ...

Crispy Pork Belly snacks.

Two CAMS sanctioned targa events a few days apart on each side of Australia seems to good to be true so we talk to ben Searcy who has moved into the drivers seat and gave Jim Richards a huge challenge at Targa West. Meanwhile in Adelaide its the prologue stage of the Superloc Targa Adelaide which end up with 23000 spectators on the night in Goodwood.
Aug 21, 2012
We start our tale on a very pleasant Thursday afternoon on the pitfall at Queensland Raceway with Marcus then move on to all sorts of hijinks with Jeza Inc and finish next to the Swallows Pub fireplace alongside The Foges, yet at each spot we wrestle with the finer points of motor sport and life whilst being obsequious to those around us. Will Mercedes Benz go to V8 Supercars and will Greg Normans racing double master the art of driving left hand stick shifts. Historic racing cars and overly pot...
Aug 07, 2012
Suddenly there is a shake up in the motor sport world with Dindo Capello sort of retiring. Ben Spies leaving Yamaha. AJ Allmendinger goes on gardening leave. United Autosports pulls out of Blancpain GT championship to focus on testing and British GT in 2013 which leave Brabs out of a gig. Rossi to perhaps join Jorge Lorenzo and more FIA GT fallout. How to fail a stall test. Red Bull engine mapping. Damien White sharpens his rule book pencil but may find himself out of a job. Toyota 86 spare tyre...
Jul 25, 2012
In the quiet company of red and black clad ladies JP and Harty enjoy a strong yellow curry with a side order or Hor Tai whilst discussing the larger issues in life which include how Red Bull may have circumvented exhaust blowing Stephane Ratel giving up on FIA GT1 and why Russia is the perfect spot for a new seaside Grand Prix.

After a month or more of trapsing around the world Le Fogeaux calls in to tell of his fun times at Indy and Le Mans where he was on bivouac. The secrecy of hybrids. Nexus Q and 7 tablet appear running Jelly Bean at Google IO. European GP rantings and a range of international giggle with Foges.
Jun 27, 2012
Despite none of the free to air TV networks in Australia bothering to show any of the 80th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans we managed to watch the entire event online with audio video and accurate text commentary. To be fair the video was streamed through the TenSport portal so we should be thankful of that since it was the best Le mans for years. Hybrids and Audi team orders. Toyota looking strong. Boring Darwin. Android user interface. Samsung gets Apple money. The 4G court ruling. V8 Ute s...
Jun 20, 2012
Now that all the money is pouring in the door at RH thanks to the tireless efforts of the Queensland Office JP and Harty seem more relaxed than ever as they discuss the first day of qualifying at Le Mans where the DeltaWing continues to improve and amaze. Meanwhile over on the West Coast of America the Apple World Wide Developers Conference unfolds and with it the new Retina MacBook Pro along with Mountain Lion features and a look at iOS6. The Schu DNF saga. Ferrari cost concerns. The F1 Faux Pa...

After giving the Grand Poohbah a large serve Kimi is on the line feeling a bit depressed about a possible but most unlikely WRC drive in Finland. With the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend JP evaluates the tyre options. Roland spits again at PI. Stoner retiring spurs Rossi onwards at Le Mans. Allan is a dad after a very strange N24 finish. Briscoe on pole for Indy 500. F1 set to float but will it be a drama like Facebook. Brendan Reeves hits the Greek Rally Crisis. Uncle Don who owns most things wa...
May 23, 2012

Adobe Activation pain. Retina displays to debut on MacBook Pro at WWDC next month. Apple bails out Elpida DRAM supplier. Marcus goes sprintcar racing and lovs it.

The good Doctor Aper comes to grips with the flavour of rare Russian Tomatoes with salt from the Black Sea whilst devouring most of the Parma Ham that the newly installed drinks girl has delivered from Botega Rotelo. JP has his regular rant about the Bahrain GP and Hamilton V8 Supercars whilst we collectively fashom the mysteries of kerb sensor activation. Adobe manages to piss JP off to the max. Harty looks forward to a trip in Brill Rail Car 60. WWDC tickets sales. Apple and Android revenues e...
Apr 25, 2012
JP arrives quite harangued without his show notes but it did not seem to matter because once Foges got a hold of the microphone there was little input from us. He did have a bunch to say about his recent trip to the US for the Nissan Ultima launch. Nico Rosberg wins for Mercedes. The Chinese Grand Prix was a thriller and just goes to show that drivers can actually get through a race without hitting each other. Marcus heads off to see Bruce Springsteen in LA after a successful test at Winton with...

Apr 11, 2012
Its been an appalling day from a customer perspective. Firstly trying to get some real info from Telstra about their 4G network. Then total failure with Apple Australia and their invisible PR staff who dont use either iCal or iCloud. But our day is saved by a pleasant chat with Lucas Dumbrell, whose motor sport operation is clearly on the rise after Taz Douglas put in a sterling effort at Symmons Plains. That was buoyed by the fact that no one else wrecked their day unlike Clipsal and the AGP. L...
