The second series of Blood Sweat and Gears returns to FOX8 next week.
Again hosted by Scott McGregor (the younger one), it’s on the hunt for Australia’s best driver.
Eight finalists have been chosen to compete in a series of challenges that will determine Australia’s best car and driver over eight weeks of challenges.
With cars representing the Aussie muscle car, the import market, the best of American horsepower and modified hatchbacks, the spectacle is played out in front of a crowd of car lovers at the annual Spring Nationals (the ‘Nats’) in Shepparton, Victoria.
The judging team includes motoring journalist Samantha Stevens (not to be confused with the other Samantha Stevens!) and Ian Luff – Australia’s leading advanced driving instructor, racecar driver and motivational speaker.
The eight contestants are:
1. Darryl Jhinku (NZ):1995 Subrau WRX STi
2. Shane Soutter (SA):1993 Nissan 180 SX
3. George Isaac (NSW):2005 Ford FPV F6 Typhoon
4. Shane Kennett (QLD):2002 Ford Laser SR2
5. Sash Ninovic (NSW):1971 Ford Falcon XY GT
6. Murray Forman (NSW):1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
7. Brendan Findlay (VIC):2005 Holden Monaro CV8
8. Sean Fardell (NSW):1985 Holden Commodore VK HDT Group 3
It airs on FOX8 9.30pm AEST Monday nights with a repeat screening Fridays at 10.20pm.

if you actually watch the show you will see that they use 300C STR8 as the test cars.
8 cars – 3 GM products, 3 Ford products, 2 Rice Burners. How about a Chrysler product? Australian society is so one eyed, always have been, always will.
That monaro wasnt a 2005/ 2006 monaro. The interior was from a 2004 monaro.
The exhaust was also on one side of the car. The 2005 monaros have their exhausts on both sides.
this show is better then top gear australia. there are few people in australia who drive db9’s or gt3 carrera’s, so this program is more down to earth….. in australia that is. I love it, go the Brock Commodore.
That’s so very exciting!!! I’m going to watch it just for Scott McGregor. I’m a big fan, and I’m looking forward to him in a hosting role, rather than gift shop assistant 🙂
