On The Grid

A COUPLE of two-time Australian Drivers Championship winners join the show this week, John Bowe and Tim Macrow helping us preview a monster weekend of racing at Sydney Motorsport Park. Bowe is first up, discussing his ongoing health battles and his openness in discussing it with the broader public. He talks TCM, Gold Star memories and S5000 plus a whole lot more. As always, he’s a ripper chat. Unfortunately we ran out of time to discuss the fact that he’s been immortalised in a new range of racing-themed kids books published by Motorsport PR guru, Grant Rowley. To make up for that, you can read all about them here. Then it’s two-time Gold Star champion Tim Macrow who is in the thick of the intense title battle for S5000 this weekend in Sydney. Claiming a third would put him in elite company of just five other drivers – can he do it? We literally asked the man himself.
