Garry Rogers Motorsport

I'll go right down to the wildcars.

Let's start at Gary Rogers Motorsport.

That pristine-looking team, Valvoline, Camaro.

A remarkable...

So let's see how that shakes out for them at Tickford Racing this weekend.

Hey, it's great to welcome to the show Barry Rogers from Gary Rogers Motorsport.

He's running a wild card for this year's Repco Bathurst 1000, uh, with James Moffat and Nathan Herne.

Um, it's so lovely to see you.

And of course, he has been in Super 2 the past few years, but he's elected to step away and focus on Trans Am, which that in itself is a really great testing ground with the likes of Todd Hazelwood and James Moffat there.

Nathan Hearn, who's going to make his Bathurst debut with Gary Rogers Motorsport, which is going to be an amazing story for GRM to return and also for Nathan to get a long awaited Supercars debut.

But we've seen with Erebus over the past few years is that if you do a great job as a co-driver, Barry Ryan will have the faith in you to promote you to a full-time role.

Think of Job Stewart last year, exceptional performance in the Enduro Cup and springboarded straight into a full-time drive this year.

I think the stat was, Zach, 33 of the 51 other drivers in the field were born after he made his Bathurst debut, which is just ridiculous.

Now, let's round this one out.

Obviously, Gary Rogers Motorsport you just mentioned, they had a big week last week at Winton Motor Raceway.

They are one of two wildcards at the race alongside the Lowndes Bailey Hall Team 18 wildcard.

That's where I'll be.

Gary Rogers Motorsport, who I ended up going on to work for.

It was probably about a year that I was down in Melbourne before I got a job in supercars.

I was still doing like volunteering and stuff and got a job with working for free with supercars.

But it was constant updates.

And in 2018, I was at every racetrack.

So I was doing Gary Rogers Motorsport content.

And then I would just, and you know, Renee, you had two young kids at this point.

No one's going that isn't minted.

Gary Rogers Motorsport has reprised one of the late founder's earliest racing liveries for the Bathurst 1000 wildcard testing this week.

The car will attest in a livery that resembles Rogers' second ever race car.

It's an Appendix J EH Holden, resplendent in its brown, orange and yellow wrap.
