Cocho speaks out
Popular ex-boss’s verdict on Supercars future headlines new podcast
Never lost for words, Tony Cochrane (right in picture, talking with Supercars Chairman Barclay Nettlefold) has plenty to say about where Supercars is heading.
And most of it is good!
Cocho’s forthright views headline the debut episode of the new Race For The Championship podcast, powered by VACC Automotive Apprenticeships.
He sat down with host Mark Fogarty for a revealing interview during his return to the Bathurst 1000 for the first time in 12 years.
After a decade of neglect under Archer Capital, Cochrane asserts that new owner RACE is rebuilding Supercars towards the former glory it achieved under his reign.
The founding father of Supercars is still a fan-favourite nearly 30 years after he revolutionised Australian touring car racing.
In the interview, Cocho expounds on Toyota’s impending entry and renewed plans for overseas expansion.
He admits he “failed spectacularly” to attract Toyota and also to get Supercars on the F1 Singapore GP support program, with the latter now a distinct possibility.
All this and much more as Cochrane opens up on Supercars’ bright new future.
Race For The Championship is also packed with big news, including the latest on Chevrolet’s Camaro replacement and Supercars’ commitment to racing at Sandown for as long as possible.
