This week’s ‘Mini’ edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast comes from our chat with David Reynolds almost exactly five years ago in March 2020, when he visited Sleuth HQ with his chauffeur for the day - future Supercars champ (and his then enduro co-driver) Will Brown!
In this snippet, Reynolds opened up on a very serious topic: a tragic tarmac rally accident from the early part of his career.
Two weeks after securing the 2007 Australian Carrera Cup Championship, Reynolds was competing in the Mount Buller Sprint with navigator Paul Flintoft.
Their Elfin MS8 Clubman spun off the road and crashed down a 20 metre cliff, killing Flintoft and leaving Reynolds with head injuries.
