We’re talking to Craig Lowndes on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco. We open the first part of our two-part chat talking about buying his first road car, the Ford Cortina he drove while lead driver at the Holden Racing Team – and the white lie he told them about selling it. We also chat about the Formula Ford he's currently restoring, driving the ‘Black Death’, a DJR test that didn’t happen, how his drive in the 1994 Bathurst 12 Hour came about, plus the phone call from Jeff Grech that changed his life. We also chat about the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the ‘Green-Eyed Monster’, his interviews with ‘Poida’ (aka Eric Bana) and 60 Minutes, and the start of his Triple Eight era.
