V8SP: George Smith (Part 2)

The V8 Sleuth Podcast

We’ve had an incredible chat with George Smith that set a new benchmark for the longest recording in the history of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol.

He shared so many stories from a career in the sport that has seen him in the middle of many of its most memorable and iconic moments that he and Noonz ended up chatting for almost four hours (!) and we’re releasing the first two parts this week.

In Part 2, he talks about Colin Bond’s defection from the Holden Dealer Team to Moffat Ford Dealers for 1977 and shares an incredible story about an unexpected mechanical problem that hit Allan Moffat’s #1 Falcon on the morning of that year’s Bathurst 1000.

He then talks about his move to Datsun/Nissan, initially to work on its rally cars before being a foundation member of its Bluebird Group C touring car program - and he shares a few tales and confirms/dispels a few myths and rumours about the hidden technical trickery the turbocharged rockets possessed.
