Growing up in the Apple Isle and being wowed by some absolute heroes of the day at the legendary Longford track.Borrowing money from his Mum and channeling it into a race car.Getting into the car business and working in Sydney’s epicenter then on Parramatta Road…the lessons it taught him for the future. Chasing the open wheeler dream and going to England only to be told he probably didn’t have enough dough and he should turn around and go back to Australia!Changing tack to win some big races in Asia and keeping an open wheeler on the wall for decades before restoring it (period correct) and hitting the track in it again.Plus a recent mission for Ford to run a GT3 car in Japan with some gun international drivers and why he believes in “saying yes to opportunity and working it out later”.We recorded this one in the Listnr studios after the GT Festival Sydney but we may as well have sat in the transporter because it feels like one of those cool, end of race day, convos.  Enjoy.Head to Rusty’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback, and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty’s Garage.Check Out the Podcast: https://play.listnr.com/podcast/rustys-garageFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thrusta1/X: https://x.com/Thrusta1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrusta1/Check out more from LiSTNR Sport: https://www.instagram.com/listnrsport/
