On today’s episode we’ve got Garry and Braydan Willimington. Garry is an Australian Touring Car legend who has loved motorsports since he was a kid. Garry has had an incredible motorsports career having competed in twenty one Bathurst 1000’s as a privateer.
His son Braydan, has followed in his father’s footsteps racing in 410 Sprintcars, Speedcars, s5000’s and the TCR Australian Championship. Braydan loves his speedway, with his father being his biggest supporter and both are planning for Braydan to race in the United States in the near future.
On the podcast you will hear the boys discuss what it is like being a privateer at the highest level under the ARG banner, we chat if Wakefield Park can be saved and much more. We hope you enjoy our chat with the Willmington’s, beyond the helmets.
