Nadine Armstrong carved a career as a motoring journalist before the online revolution, when print media was king and new-car buyers turned pages to make well-informed buying decisions. Nearly two decades later, Nadine has held positions with various major media players, including the then Fairfax Drive team and CarAdvice before joining carsales.com.au in 2013. She is now the Consumer Editor of carsales.com.au where she draws on a wealth of experience behind the wheel as an auto expert and new car road tester. 

She can regularly be seen and heard on television and radio bringing consumer-focused opinions, news and reviews to the mainstream chat. A fan of two- and four-wheeled machines, it was riding dirt bikes through the Wombat State Forest in Melbourne's west from a young age that paved the way for a Suzuki RGV and a Harley-Davidson early on in life, but these days she can be found behind the wheel of a ‘work in progress’ 1977 Porsche 911.

Nadine was a member of the VACC’s Women in Automotive Steering Committee since 2016, she is a FIA Motorsport Australia Girls on Track Ambassador, a judge for Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year and the Co-Host of Watts Under the Bonnet: the electric vehicle podcast by carsales.com.au. Nadine lives in Melbourne with her husband, two young children, two cats and more shoes than she’s willing to admit.

Kate Peck emerged onto the scene at 16 through Channel Ten's Search for a Supermodel, embarking on an unexpected career trajectory. Following international modelling gigs, she shifted to online studies before transitioning from the catwalk to TV. 

A three-month motorcycle journey across Africa changed her life, leading to roles like Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix 2012 ambassador and MTV Australia's VJ. Collaborating with Nat Geo People, Kate co-produced 'A Model Adventure,' tackling iconic Australian challenges partially from the back of a motorbike and part navigating in a truck in the Kalgoorlie desert race. 

From here Kate spent five years at Channel 10 co-hosting the popular weekly motoring program RPM and broadened her skills by spending two years as a Director on the Board of Motorcycling NSW. Currently the host of The Aus Moto Show, the live broadcast of ProMX on SBS and Stan, and as a senior journalist at Torquecafe.com, she ferociously promotes women in all areas of motoring. Since 2018 she has also been a FIA Motorsport Australia Girls on Track Ambassador. Based in Sydney NSW with her auto loving partner and budding biker toddler, you will generally find her at a racetrack or a wine bar.

Rachel Reed Butler has over 20+ years’ experience predominantly in the automotive industry, spanning the automotive insurance sector and the national operations of some of Australia's most successful premium car brands, including BMW Group Australia, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) and Mercedes-Benz Australia. She has held senior management roles focussing on lifestyle media relations, partnerships, sponsorships, brand communications and events. 

​

As a freelancer operating her own communications agency for the past 6 years, she has applied these skills to clients in the luxury real estate, mass media and hospitality industries. Including freelance presenting on Whichcar TV and Project Managing The Australian Motoring Awards for the then named Bauer Media group.

​
