About the episode
The 1980 F1 World Champion Alan Jones reckons Bondy’s talent could have taken him to global success but he chose to stay local which suited the family man. What it was like working with the legendary Harry Firth and the differences in the way the Factory Holden and Ford Touring Car outfits went about their racing. The world class rally cars he built here and what Ari Vatanen and David Richard’s wanted in those incredible Ford Escorts. Staying at the Captain Peter Janson’s place in Melbourne and driving the Porsche 956 at Sandown. Plus the important fundraising work his wife Robyn did with some of the other wives and partners to improve safety standards. This is an overdue conversation with Colin Bond OAM the Supercars and Australian Motorsport Hall of Famer who still enjoys coming to the track and hanging out in the Team 18 garage with his good friend Charlie Schwerkolt who you can also find in the Rusty’s Garage library. https://www.australianmotorsporthalloffame.com.au/inductees/colin-bond-oam/ 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 GarageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
