From a very young age, Jeff Grech has always been around cars and motorbikes, so it was no surprise to those around him, that initially against his father’s wishes, he started a mechanics’ apprenticeship which led to him joining the Holden Dealer Team as a mechanic in 1982.
Then, as they say in the classics, ‘the rest is history’ as Jeff went onto becoming a pivitol part of the Holden Racing Team, Perkins Engineering, Gibson Motorsport, and others until now managing the Winton Motor Raceway in country Victoria.
Jeff has been an integral part of the Australian Motor Racing scene for more than 40 years on both the management and engineering side, and his stories are enthralling.
I hope you enjoy this chat with Jeff as we talk about his history, some of the great racing moments he’s been a part of, and some of the amazing people who he’s had the pleasure of being associated with.
