It was in the height of the Ford versus
00:00:01
Holden time. It was in, you know,
00:00:03
incredible time to be racing in this in
00:00:05
supercars. He was a top four driver and
00:00:07
I was one of many competitive Holden
00:00:09
drivers and it was red versus blue. The
00:00:11
fans were incredibly passionate. We were
00:00:13
passionate about our jobs and what we
00:00:14
were representing. Just two BS aiming
00:00:16
for the same bit of road and not willing
00:00:18
to really give each other the room they
00:00:20
we deserve in a pretty precarious
00:00:22
position on the racetrack as well.

>> Do you think conflict like that is
00:00:24
missing from the sport now?

>> Yep, I do. I don't think you want to
00:00:27
have monster shunts like that very
00:00:29
frequently, but we want close battles
00:00:31
and we want drivers to not necessarily
00:00:33
always like each other. I was in a very
00:00:36
competitive period with lots of
00:00:38
personalities, lots of egos. We didn't
00:00:41
go out of our way to see eye to eye or
00:00:43
be friendly or matey. Listen, there was
00:00:45
there was probably a lot of putting up
00:00:46
with each other at times and we went in
00:00:48
and out of rivalry depending on what was
00:00:50
going on as well and what you were
00:00:51
involved in and what happened on the
00:00:52
track. There was a lot of stuff that was
00:00:54
happening on the track and it did define
00:00:55
how you left the track on
