With the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour only a week away we catch up with a past winner of the race – Peter Conroy.  Peter won the race when it was a production car event and he is back to try again with an Audi R8 LMS.  The Bathurst 12 Hour is also the first round of the Australian GT Championship presented by Pirelli and we talk about his chances.

Peter has some interesting things to say about his co-drivers, particularly the aims of WTCC Champion Rob Huff.  We also talk about changes to the Australian GT Championship and how that has affected his full season tilt at the crown.  Needless to say, Peter knows his work is cut out for him but is confident of a top showing at Bathurst.
