Melinda Price Joins The RevLimiter

Racing driver Melinda Price has joined the team of The Auto Action RevLimiter podcast.

Price joins host Andrew Clarke and panellist Bruce Williams each Wednesday for an analysis of the latest and news and action in the motorsport world. 

Price, who comes from a deep motorsport family, has raced at many levels of the sport in Australia, including time running the Castrol Cougars car with Lerryn Brewer for Larry Perkins in the late 1990s.

She competed in 19 rounds of the Supercars Championship and raced at Bathurst five times. 

She is also one of the presented on the telecast of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series while continuing to race in the Radical Cup.”

“I’ve had quite an interesting year doing racing the Radical Cup as well as sort of being on the other side of the fence with the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series and doing the TV.

“A little bit of everything this year and now look at me joining a podcast.

“I come from a family with a strong motor racing background. Dad and his brothers raced. My cousin Drew was DPE go karts, and he was the biggest kart manufacturer in Australia. 

“So, I guess motorsport was always going to be my future.”

She broke new ground as a competitive female in the sport.  

“There was not a lot of girls around back then, but there were certainly a few very good ones, but nowhere near as many as there is now. I was definitely the odd one out, but it was lots of fun and I considered myself one of the boys,” Price said.

“As a Castrol Cougar I picked that torch up and ran with it, it did have a different meaning back then,” she laughed, especially now she is in her 50s. 

She is actively involved with Girls on Track for Motorsport Australia, helping to develop career streams for girls in motorsport, not just as drivers but also in engineering and other roles in teams. 

Price will now feature on the podcast every week. 

The Auto Action RevLimiter is one of the highest rating sporting news podcasts in Australia and pulls no punches in its analysis of the sport.
