Reginald Ralph

On this episode of Behind the Sport, we shine a light on one of Western Australia’s most familiar names in the Saloon Car paddock, Reginald “Reg” Ralph. A true grassroots racer, Reg has been a constant presence in the WA Saloon Car Championship and the Australian Saloon Car Nationals, steering his Holden Commodores through years of hard-fought battles.

From podiums at the state level to campaigns on the national stage, Reg’s story isn’t about factory budgets or flash pit set-ups — it’s about passion, persistence, and the love of racing. He takes us inside his career, the highs and lows of mixing it with the country’s best, and what keeps him coming back to the grid round after round.

We also talk about his current season behind the wheel of the #41 Holden VP Commodore, the challenges of staying competitive in a tough category, and why Saloon Cars remain one of the purest and most hard-nosed racing series in Australia.

It’s a chat with a racer who embodies the spirit of club-level motorsport — turning spanners, putting it all on the line, and always ready to say, “let’s go again next round.”
