Hot Pye aims high

Supercars journeyman Scott Pye has landed on his feet with a two-year co-driver deal with Triple Eight.

Rejected a decade ago by T8 founder Roland Dane, Pye is the big winner of the ‘silly season’ shuffle, trading a mid-field full-time drive for the best enduro seat.

He will partner either Broc Feeney or Will Brown in next year’s Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000.

In the latest Speedcafe Newscast, Pye reveals how he rebounded from an ordinary career to secure the best co-drive. Listen here:
