Ricky and Knuckles rip into the brutal financial reality behind motorsport, the chaos of tyre bills, why talent alone isn't enough, and why even the best in the game are still paying to drive.

Strap in for this absolute belter of an episode as British GT champion Ricky Collard drops by the Proper True Yarn Podcast. From growing up on a farm with more horsepower than luxury to racing against names like Verstappen and Leclerc, Ricky’s journey has been anything but boring. He recounts a near-death crash in Italy, hospital stays with popped lungs, and rolling a farm bomb VW Polo with a broken shoulder—cheered on by his old man. It’s raw, honest, and a laugh-a-minute insight into what it really takes to make it in motorsport, and how yarning might just be more profitable than racing.

In this episode, the third-best machinery operator in the world (self-proclaimed but heavily decorated), Trev 966, joins the Proper True Yarn Podcast for a round of hard laughs and heavy yarns. From shaggy pickup lines and tiger-sized dreams to marble rings in Augathella and losing his virginity at a snail's pace, Trev doesn’t hold back. There’s guidepost carnage, fairway-crossing driving, and a trophy room overflowing with employee of the month awards. A lighthearted, piss-taking, Aussie-as chat with the king of the cab and the smoothest operator this side of Queen Street.
