New Format, Same Punch as we debrief the Austrian Grand Prix

No news. No tight bit. Just pure, unfiltered Loose . We’re jumping straight into the thick of it with a bumper chat about the Austrian Grand Prix, and the revival of Papaya Power . McLaren’s McMiracle nearly came undone, but Oscar and Lando showed why they’re the sharpest pair on the grid right now, mistakes and all. We’ll dissect Ferrari’s floor upgrade (spoiler: it might actually work), Max Verstappen’s messy no-pointer (is Mercedes on speed dial?), and why Liam Lawson is quietly making his ca...

Darwin Direction, Ford Frustration & Young Guns Rising

In this week’s RevLimiter , we’re full throttle into the Darwin weekend—but with one eye on the broader battle brewing across Supercars, F1, and beyond. Broc Feeney is on a rampage. Fast, focused, and firmly in the mix for a title run. But does it actually matter right now? We’ve seen red-hot form fizzle out when the pressure ramps up. Broc’s part of a new generation putting the old guard on notice— Kai Allen , still a teenager, just scored his first Supercars podium, and Matt Payne and Ryan Woo...

Gorgeous George Shines + Lando’s Collision at Canadian GP. And Ferrari’s Le Mans Three-Peat

This week’s Rev Limited episode fired on all cylinders—and maybe a few bodily functions too, if Shane van Gisbergen’s gastro in Mexico update is anything to go by. With “Gorgeous George” Russell finally shaking off the nearly-man-of-2025 status and clinching a slick Canadian GP win. Of course, you can’t talk Canada without diving into the McLaren mess. Yes, Peter-wits , Lando Norris did hit Oscar Piastri. No amount of diplomatic hand-waving or orange-tinted excuses can change that. And if you're...

Supercars Perth Recap, Young Guns Shine and 'Warbo' Returns

On this week’s Auto Action RevLimiter, Andrew and Bruce debrief a wild weekend in Perth where the young blood stood tall — Broc Feeney keeps making this Supercars title look like his to lose, while Ryan Wood finally cracked his maiden win of the season with a statement drive. We dive into what’s making this new generation so exciting, even as the finals loom to throw a spanner in Feeney’s championship momentum, potentially. Also on the table is the return of James Warburton as Supercars CEO — we...

Piastri Perfect, Mad Max Melts Down – And Supercars Goes Global?

This week on the Auto Action RevLimiter , Andrew and Bruce dive deep into a Spanish Grand Prix that had it all — dominance, drama, and dummy spits. Oscar Piastri delivered a clinical performance in Barcelonato take a commanding win and firmly plant himself in the championship conversation. But while the Aussie was calm and collected, Max Verstappen was anything but — throwing a full-blown tantrum over team strategy and setup decisions. We break down the fallout, the radio rants, and whether Red ...

Monaco Mayhem, Penske Purge and Aussie Breakthrough

Mel’s crook this week, so Andrew and Bruce are steering the ship on this episode of RevLimiter — and there’s plenty to cover in under an hour. First up, it’s the Monaco Grand Prix, where Lando Norris finally conquered the streets of Monte Carlo to take the win and slice Oscar Piastri’s championship lead down to just three points. Bruce has a few spicy suggestions on how to actually fix Monaco as a race, while both ponder how the replacements for Jack Doohan and Liam Lawson are doing their best t...

Max Sizzles, McLaren Fizzles, and Penske’s Red-Faced Month of May

This week on The Auto Action RevLimiter , Andrew Clarke and the crew unpack a wild weekend of motorsport – starting with Max Verstappen’s gritty win at Imola. How did McLaren not convert raw pace into victory? Was it strategy, tyre wear… or the problem of having 2 drivers in the fight? Red Bull didn’t have that issue – especially after Yuki Tsunoda’s monster crash ended his qualifying session early. We also break down the weekend chaos at Imola: Franco Colapinto filled in for Jack Doohan and pro...

Tasmania Mayhem, DJR Drama & Grand Prix Dreams

This week on The Auto Action RevLimiter , we're turning up the heat from the frozen south, which actually wasn't that frozen! Andrew Clarke was trackside in Tasmania, and he's got all the stories — from Matt Payne winning with his head rather than his right foot, to Broc Feeney proving he's got both speed and silverware, even if the clean sweep slipped through his fingers. We unpack the brains-beat-brawn strategy play that handed Payne the win, why Feeney still walks away on top of the champions...

Auto Action RevLimiter Podcast – Oscar's Triple Crown!

Three wins on the trot, a racing masterclass against Verstappen, and a warning shot to the rest of the grid – Oscar Piastri is the real deal . This week’s RevLimiter is basically an Oscar special , as we break down how the Aussie ace is owning 2025 so far. We dive into how he handled Max at his own game, the rising rivalry with Norris, and what it all means for McLaren’s internal dynamic. Plus: Has Jack Doohan quietly run his last race for Alpine? We’ve got the inside mail. The latest from Chevr...

Kyle Larson for the ADL500... should Supercars need move Bathurst?

We're firing on all cylinders and stirring the pot like it's Sunday arvo at the pub! 👀 Could Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott AND Brad Keselowski really be heading Down Under for the Adelaide 500? Yeah, you read that right. We unpack the madness—and ask the big question: what if Bathurst dropped the spool and rolled out the welcome mat for a full-blown NASCAR invasion in December each year? Imagine the Mountain with bump-drafts and beer guts. We’re here for it. 🏆 Oscar Piastri’s on top of the F1 wor...

Piastri Takes the Wheel—World Title Race Now a McLaren Affair

🎙️ Podcast Preview: Auto Action Rev Limiter – Easter Edition This week on Auto Action Rev Limiter, we kick off with a bang—and that bang is Oscar Piastri rocketing to the top of the Formula 1 world championship standings after a clinical third win of the season in Saudi Arabia. The McLaren-Mercedes star used a clever undercut, a cool head, and a slice of Verstappen’s penalty to pull off a Grand Prix masterclass. Not bad for a kid once accused of being "too quiet"—he’s making plenty of noise now...

Oscar’s Desert Domination & Payne at the Pump

Strap in because the latest episode of the RevLimiter is firing on all cylinders and 'confecting' all the stories from a big weekend of motorsport! We kicked things off under the Bahrain lights, where Oscar Piastri was cooler than a cucumber in the sand, delivering a textbook takedown of McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Some say it was domination, others say it was daylight robbery — either way, poor Lando looked like his spirit had been quietly escorted out of parc fermé. Meanwhile, Gorgeous Geor...

Max Masterclass as McLaren Stumbles... and who else is leaving Chev in Supercars?

Max Vertsappen was unheaded on his way to the Japanese Grand Prix after a stunning qualifying lap set him on the path to victory. McLaren mucked it up, though. It missed the chance to undercut with Lando Norris and then left him to waddle around an unthreatening distance from Verstappen while the faster Oscar Piastri wanted a crack. We pull it apart with typical honesty. As we do the news that Brad Jones Racing and PremiAir Racing are exploring a move away from Chevrolet next year as exlusively ...

Piastri Dominates in China… how is McLaren managing two contenders in the best car?

Oscar Piastri has his first win on the board after dominating the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend with a pole-to-flag victory. Lando Norris was second and George Russell third. But the Saturday sprint race was all about Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton, who scored his first win for the Scuderia. But then it all turned to disaster in the main race when he was disqualified for wearing out his plank too much. Not to feel alone, teammate Charles Leclerc was also rubbed our for being underweight, as was Pi...

Lando Norris wins the AGP and Supercars fire and then fizzle in the drizzle

Lando Norris has won an incident-packed wet Australian Grand Prix after a couple of extreme heat. Oscar Piastri challenged him until he was told to 'hold', and then later spun out of the action. Max Verstappen and George Russell wereon the podium, but how did it all play out? The Supercars lost their Sunday race to rain but had three full-on races in the lead-up. Broc Feeney had four positions and one win; Will Brown had a win, too, and has regained the series. But the big story was a Matt Stone...

It is Australian Grand Prix time – and we are excited

It is one of the best weekends of the year for motorsport people in this country, the Australian Grand Prix. A heaving motorsport festival that drags 450,000 people onto thestreets around Albert Park Lake in Melbourne, and billions on TV sets worldwide. And we are back in pole position as the first race of the year, which means the unknown. Testing suggests the pecking order is McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and then Red Bull, but by the end of Sunday, we'll know if that is crap or not. Can Oscar Pi...

Supercars fire up in Sydney, what did we think of Cam Waters domination?

Cam Waters dropped a marker in the ground with one of the most dominant weekends we've seen in a long time in Supercars. If he weren't blocked in the pits on Saturday, it would have been how far rather than giving us one of the best closing laps in the sport's history. But what about the rest? Andrew Clarke, Bruce Williams and Melinda Price take a deep dive into the weekend. And we've got the latest news too... not that there was much outside of the #Supercars. --- If you are on the ⁠⁠⁠ AC Delco...

The motor racing season is over, and so in this, the last episode of the year, we wrap it all up and talk about the things that made us smile.

F1 2024 is finally over, McLaren are the Champs… now it's time for Speedway?

The most extended F1 season in history is finally over on the edge of Christmas, and McLaren has taken its first F1 World Constructors' Championship since 1998 after a stunning and dominant win by Lando Norris. Our Oscar—and yes, we say ours because he is our columnist—was taken out on the first corner by a clumsy Max Verstappen, but he set a marker in the ground as the only driver in the field willing to challenge the four-time champ on the track. There is plenty of huff and puff and bluster of...

Formula 1 is in its final two races of the season, and the whinging behaviour of its drivers has finally become too much to bear. Find out which driver lost respect for who over allegations of dobbing, but then turned around and did the same to someone else in the race. We love conflict, but not this epidemic of being sooky la-las? Why can’t they just person-up and race like racers? This is all part of our debrief of the #QatarGP, which Max Verstappen won.

Max Verstappen has been crowned the 2024 World Drivers' Champion after doing just enough in Las Vegas to kill off the threat from Lando Norris mathematically. But Las Vegas was more than just about the title; it was a cracking race with a Mercedes one-two and action up and down the field. We’re looking for a sponsor to get to this race next year, that’s how much we enjoyed it!

Will Brown won the Adelaide 500... and the Supercars Championship, here's how we saw it

It was double trouble for the Supercars Championship Series, with Will Brown his first Supercars title while spearheading a Red Bull Ampol Racing one-two that left the squad dominating the Teams' Championship. And because it was the Adelaide 500, there was heaps happening. Turn 8 was tearing up cars again, and we think there is a simple fix or two to keep it challenging but to reduce the danger that left two drivers not well enough to race. Zach Bates locked down the Dunlop Super2 Series in a 'f...

Max Verstappen likely sealed his fourth F1 World Championship with a storming drive from 17th on the grid to win a wet Brazilian Grand Prix. Lando Norris still has a mathematical chance, but that is it. Alpine also set up a $50m payday with dual podiums, elevating it a few spots on the constructors' battle. MotoGP has also experienced some weather events, with the deadly floods around Valencia forcing the final rounds of the series to find a new home. Jorge Martin is looking at his first MotoGP ...
