Get ready to rev your engines! This December, and again in February, you have the chance to dive deep into the world of motorsport and the future of driving with 'Driven Conversations'. It's an event series that promises insightful chats, behind-the-scenes stories, and a whole lot of fun.
First up, on December 7th, you can catch Dick Johnson Racing co-owner, Ryan Story, being put in the hot seat by his mate, the esteemed journalist Paul Gover. Tickets are a steal at just $30, and trust me, you won't want to miss it! Story himself says it's a great opportunity to be 'grilled' in front of a live audience.
But here's where it gets interesting: Gover is known for asking the questions that are usually off-limits. Expect some juicy revelations! Story teases that they'll be discussing everything from DJR's journey in motorsport to the current state of Supercars and the future of Queensland's iconic motor racing team. And this is the part most people miss: the audience gets to participate in a Q&A session. It's like getting a backstage pass to the world of racing! They're even jokingly calling it the pilot episode for their new podcast, 'PG and the Doc!'
Fast forward to February 6th, and the conversation shifts gears. Roland Dane, the founder of the Triple Eight Supercars empire, will be joining the panel alongside Greg McGarvie (Ace Electric Vehicles) and Associate Professor Jiwon Kim (University of Queensland). They'll be exploring how technology, infrastructure, and culture are changing the way Queenslanders drive. Tickets for this event are just $15.
Controversy alert: Dane's return to the championship as team principal of PremiAir Racing next season is a hot topic. What do you think about his comeback? Do you agree with the direction of Supercars? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
