This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Autobarn features Supercars race winner and two-time Super2 Series winner Dean Canto.

A second-generation racer, we start the final leg of our two-part chat with Canto talking about his 2004 enduro drives with a pre-powerhouse Triple Eight, his 2005 Development Series title with Dick Johnson Racing, and the moment he feels cost him a shot at driving full-time for Triple Eight in 2006.

We then cover his time at Garry Rogers Motorsport, a period that delivered his first and only solo Supercars race win, but it’s a period Canto doesn’t look back on too fondly – we’ll let him explain why…

He opens up about the stunt driving school he ran with Luke Youlden, his Supercars co-driver era – including the time he and Youlden ended up both driving for FPR without either’s prior knowledge! – Bathurst 1000 heartbreaks with David Reynolds, their Gold Coast 600 triumph, and the plans for a third-generation racing Canto.
