What happens when you're standing trackside as the world's fastest drivers hurtle past at 300 kilometres an hour?Or when you're interviewing champions moments after victory, heartbreak or controversy?
Most of us only see the finished broadcast.
The highlights.
The interviews.
The polished moments on screen.
But behind every major sporting event are extraordinary stories, fascinating personalities and split-second moments that rarely make it into the final broadcast.
Join renowned motorsport broadcaster and storyteller Greg "Rusty" Rust for a lively and entertaining Learning Lunch packed with behind-the-scenes stories from a remarkable career spent at the heart of international sport and media.
From Formula One and MotoGP to Bathurst, the Winter Olympics and the Commonwealth Games, Greg has spent decades meeting extraordinary people and witnessing history unfold from the best seat in the house.
But this isn't just a conversation about motorsport.
It's about curiosity, human performance, great storytelling and what we learn when we spend time with people pursuing excellence at the highest level.
Expect humour, fascinating stories, unexpected insights and plenty of memorable moments from life behind the microphone.
