ON THE Podium last year, Jack Perkins joins On the Grid this week to help us preview the 2020 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 and tell us his story of a typically dramatic year.

As open and honest as ever, Jack tells the story of finding out about 23Red’s closure and how a relationship with Jack Smith’s engineer, Paul Forgie, led to his new deal with Brad Jones Racing – which saved him from sitting on the Great Race sidelines for the first time in 15 years.

There’s more from Jack about the new lapped car rule, making You Tube videos on the farm and how they’ve tuned up the famous sign on the entry to Cowangie.

Then, the whole TRT team is in action to discuss their favourite Bathurst drives – the stirring performances behind the wheel that stand out in the memories of our panel. With 20 possibilities, only four of them were mentioned more than once so there’s plenty of cracking options and some from (very far) left field, too!

On the Grid is available to listen now via the player below, mypodcasthouse.com, your favourite podcast application, or listen live at 9pm Thursday Nights UK time on RS1 via the Radio Show Ltd network of channels.
