1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: The great race this weekend. Of course, Bathurst thousand k's

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: one eighty one laps starts Sunday just before lunchtime. Brady

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Costeki's your current champion. Paul Radisich has been there many

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: many times and as with as Paul morning.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: Good morning mate.

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: I hate about eighteen Do you do it eighteen times

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: or thereabouts?

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: Mate? I think I'll think twenty one times, and and

9
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: I think competed at nineteen. A couple of accidents he

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: got in the way, So yeah, stretch over a long

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: period of time.

12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: How much do you watch each year?

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: You know something, I start watching it and then I

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: move away and then I come back. So yeah, motorsport

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: I can never move away from. I always watch it.

16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: I always keep an eye on Bathist and you know,

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: it's an interest it will never go away.

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: Is it fair to suggest that, no matter how good

19
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: you are as a driver, a couple of things at play.

20
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: This is a unique race and just because you're hot

21
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you'll win.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: One hundred. You know, I've been there, been the hot favorite,

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: led the race, done everything, never won it, so got close.

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is it's a grueling event. You know,

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: it's a marathon, and there's so many things that happened.

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: I mean yesterday, the weather come and the same thing

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: will happen someday. You put money on it's going to

28
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 2: rain at some point, so you just don't know what's

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: going to throw at you. You know you've got to

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: You're going to rely on the other driver. You've got

31
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: to make sure that the team preparation is right, and

32
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day you can

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: do all that. It just comes down to luck. It

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: really is.

35
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: What about the co driver? They ask a tremendous I see,

36
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: I think of something like wind Cup hasn't driven a

37
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: lot lately, is it? You expect a lot? And then

38
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: you've got the younger guys who are getting the big break.

39
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: You expect a tremendous amount of a co driver, don't you.

40
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Well you have well, yeah, you have to. But you

41
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: know the co driver get and do the early part.

42
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all about trying to train your brain

43
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: for that last hour of the race and to get

44
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: the car, keep the car going for an hour, which

45
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I was never good at. But you know, you've got

46
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: to try and keep everything going. So when the fast driver,

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: the main driver, and nothing to do, just because they

48
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: drive the cars all the time. The main driver gets

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: in and just gives it everything it's got and that's

50
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: that's the race.

51
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: And unlike any I mean, I know we're in the

52
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: endurance part of the season, but unlike any other race,

53
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: the expectations on the car are profound, aren't they. I mean,

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: the car's got a hold together and there's got to

55
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: be an element of luck in that.

56
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: Look at there's a huge amount of that because you

57
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: replace that ten dollar apart that perhaps you shouldn't have

58
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: replaced and it fails. You know, you're putting so much.

59
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: You just got to go into the race. It's like

60
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: you're driving. You just got to throw everything at it

61
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: and if you crash, you crash. But you gave it

62
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: a hell of a good try. And it's the same

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: with the car. The preparation. Everybody replaces, you know, the

64
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: engine and the gearbox and your brakes, and it just

65
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: goes on. By the time the car starts a race

66
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: on Sundays, it's probably been changed twice with all new

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: components and that you know, yeah, there's a lot of

68
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: luck in it.

69
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,440
