From $500,000 karting seasons to $5 million Formula 2 campaigns, this yarn breaks down just how deep your pockets need to be to chase the chequered flag. 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. A no-BS, flat-out ride into the wild world of racing.

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.

From dodging a roo mid-hold-up to nearly dying from “yabby-itis” at daycare, this episode is loaded with proper laughs, true blue nostalgia, and just enough chaos to make you wish you'd grown up out bush. Fair dinkum outback gold.

Trev 966 is back in the saddle (literally) with a yarn so wild it only lasted three days. From getting flung into mustering chaos on a massive Windorah station to rolling a Toyota while nursing a dozen stubbies, Trev recounts the madness of his brief but unforgettable ringer days. We also dive into early shearing shed disasters, rookie mistakes with bucking broncos, and the raw beauty of bush life before mobile phones. Classic bush comedy and rough-as-guts truth — this one’s for anyone who's ever had to bluff their way into a job and hold on for dear life.
