Podcast: Below the Bonnet and Tony Cochrane

Like him or loathe him it doesn’t matter to Tony Cochrane. The ex V8 Supercars executive chairman (1996-2012) always has an opinion and in the latest Below the Bonnet podcast he gives us plenty.

He joins to lads to explain his journey from a school drop-out running a lighting business in Adelaide, booking Frank Sinatra to transforming and running what we now know as the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

What (and who) forced him out of his role with Supercars? What would he do to improve the sport right now? The importance of strong leaders (dictators). Which press conference line does he admit made him look like a goose? Why TV deals and free-to-air is so important for the future of Supercars. The battle between ARG and Supercars and why they need to get together.
