Kenny Smith Part 2 - mentoring Scott Dixon & iconic single seaters.

Awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 1987 for services to Motorsport Ken Smith wasn't about to let that be a book end to his career. There was still so much more he wanted to do. His eye for talent and the significant help he gave in the background to sure up the future of some modern day stars. Working with Indycar great Scott Dixon, World Sportscar and Le Mans 24 hour winner Brendon Hartley, 4-time Bathurst winner Greg Murphy (in his early days) as well as Shane van Gisbergen and Liam Lawson. Trading blows with Craig Baird and Paul Radisich as they climbed the ladder. Reflections on the lovely constant for so much of his racing, his late Mother Dorothy. And we'll talk about the cool cars that surround us in the 5-time Gold Star winner's workshop. Plus the odd saloon car drive and much more. The numbers seem hard to comprehend, 50 starts in the New Zealand Grand Prix, almost 70 years of continuous racing, success overseas in Asia as well as countless wins at home. We don't get to every podium or memories of every high or low but this is a well rounded summary of an incredible career so far and Ken Smith has no plans to hang up the helmet just yet.
