Episode 11 - John Smith
Manage episode 405968326 series 3550960
John Smith was a fiery, super-competitive openwheeler star who in the early ‘80s matched it with then-current Formula One drivers in the Australian Grand Prix run at Calder Raceway in near-identical Formula Pacific Ralts.
He is widely regarded as one of our best-ever in single seaters, but ‘Smithy’ also had a long and successful career in touring cars - in ‘works’ Toyota Corolla touring cars and then the Supra Turbo, which Smithy dubbed the ‘White Whale’.
Join Smithy and Australian MUSCLE Car Magazine founder Ray Berghouse for a trip down his memory lane, exploring the races, rivalries (and several spectacular crashes) from that section of the golden era in Australian motorsport.
