We revive the mythical Bathurst Man after Formula One's dalliance with pre-race driver introductions, and Peter’s McGinley's union steps in to curtail this week's recording after a number of Ferrari-esque technical failures.
Michael and Rob are mysteriously absent from the potentially title-deciding USGP preview, so Peter and special guest host Trent Price reminisce about their plunger-related pastimes (not a euphemism).
McGinley talks about his theoretical calendar exploits, Rob pays tribute to his F1 2016 teammate Jolyon Palmer and Michael asks Dieter what he Renckens about dyed blonde hair.
Peter espouses his wisdom regarding power sockets and instant coffee, Rob peaks behind the curtain of last week's show and Michael invokes the memory of the Maldonado era.
Michael sweats it up in Malaysia, Peter McGinley fondly recalls the day he left his mark in Sepang, and Rob discusses with Trent Price his life regret of not learning to play a musical instrument.
We ask whether the championship is over six rounds from the finish and how we might keep McGinley interested if so, and we have an extremely visual discussion that we find funny but probably makes no sense on radio in retrospect.
Michael sweats profusely in Singapore at the time of recording while Peter and Rob talk about Meat Loaf at the time of recording, and Dieter tells us what he Renckens about McLaren and Honda, even though it hadn't happened at the time of recording.
Michael tries to embroil Formula One in a dual citizenship scandal, Rob practices his German accent and Peter forgets most of the current Formula One drivers.
