Autotrack Fm
Chris Underwood
I started my radio career in Malaysia at RAAF Radio Butterworth "Double RB" in 1980 presenting a program "Motoring Magazine" for one hour every Sunday morning. My biggest achievement was calling the updates of the 1981 Bathurst Hardie Ferodo 500 via my father's telex machine in his office at Eastwood, Sydney through the RAAF communications network to the studio at Butterworth with hourly updates. At the end, we were only one hour behind the actual finish. I was posted to RAAF Richmond after my 2 year posting at Butterworth. I located a local community radio station in Windsor, 2VTR FM. I approached the manager to broadcast "Motoring Magazine". Finally got the OK to broadcast my first program on August 1985 till 2017. And now broadcast as "AutotrackFM" on Hawkesbury GOLD. In that time, I've travelled around the world numerous times to cover motorsport. Nascar, World of Outlaws, NHRA, Indy 500, Speedway GP, LeMANS 24hr, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Formula One, V8 Supercars plus I've got a very good team of expert commentators. It's been a roller coaster ride in providing results of motorsport on the four and two wheel scene to the listeners over the airwaves and online.
