Meet Arvid Lindblad, the Red Bull Junior who’s been unstoppable over summer in New Zealand, ahead of his first F2 race at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne next month.

The calculated decision to come down under to compete to ensure he has enough points for a Super Licence for F1. Could we see him drive in practice sessions this year maybe even a Grand Prix?

What a call from Helmut Marko is like, the time he told Lando Norris he would see him on the grid in years to come, and racing against Supercars stars Will Brown and Broc Feeney.

Oh and hanging out with David Coulthard to drive some cool older gen F1 machines.

Thanks to the Next Gen NZ Championship organisers and the M2 Competition team for their help in making this one happen.

‘Chucky’ is back but this time he’s on the pod to talk about winning one of the biggest races in the world!

It was a dominant performance rarely seen at Dakar as the Aussie lead from start to finish.

The home grown influence on the technical side Daniel pushed for that helped significantly and you’ll get a sense of how much was riding on his shoulders over the past few months.

What the nerves were like over the final 60k stage and how sweet it was to come back from the injuries of recent years to summit this Everest of Motorsport….so to speak.

As you listen keep in mind that Chucky was battling some echo in his headphones (Rusty admits he’s not a genius on the tech side). As if the Dakar challenge wasn’t big enough the 2-wheel champion Daniel overcame this one as well!

The final lap of a rare 3-parter and he saves some cracking yarns for it.

How the so called Piranha Club move to promote Michael Schumacher to Benetton came at his expense. The fallout from that and a 3am phone call from Eddie Jordan to get Roberto to drive for him. Let’s just say he hung up on him a few times.

Finding a way to pre-qualify for minnow teams when on paper they were no chance and the incredible reception from pitlane when he did as well as sliding doors moments that seemed like devine intervention.

And how Indycar welcomed Roberto back when his time in F1 came to an end adding emotional victories in the US to his CV.

Special thanks to the team at the Hampton Downs Circuit in New Zealand where we recorded this ep and the crew at Kiwi Motorsport for giving us access to Roberto while he was back in NZ working a race driver coach.
