And now the good news: Hollywood stunt drivers Paul Goodwin and Eugene Arendsen will join Michael Long and Laurence Cripps in the four-car team at this year's show.
Mr Goodwin will lead the team from the car one position, while Arendsen has responsibility for the team's most difficult stunt: driving on two wheels.
Mr Goodwin's career behind the steering wheel has taken him all over Australia and further afield to exotic locations such as the deserts of Namibia in southern Africa.
His portfolio of work includes Hollywood blockbusters Mad Max: Fury Road and Maze Runner: The Death Cure.
For his work on Mad Max: Fury Road, Mr Goodwin was named on the list of honourees for outstanding action performances by film stunt ensembles at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Mr Goodwin previously drove for the precision driving team during the team's Holden era some 20 years ago.
Mr Arendsen is also no stranger to Hollywood, having worked alongside Mr Goodwin on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road as the stunt double for the character Nux.
His first big break was as a full-time cast member of the Hollywood Stunt Show at Movie World on the Gold Coast, which led him directly to Tinseltown.
