It is episode 42 for this year, which means we need to explore a little of life, the universe and everything. But we’ll start with the Ferrari one-two in Austin, Texas, and talk a little bit about the bullshit penalty handed out to Lando Norris for being forced off the track by an out-of-control Max Verstappen – we tend to think he’s not out of talent; however, his race craft is pretty poor for a three-time world champion. Although he can winge better than most Poms. We chat briefly about MotoGP...

Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood dominated the 2024 Bathurst 1000 in the #1 Chiko Camaro. Kostecki was back to his brilliant best, and Hazelwood was the best of the co-drivers. Red Bull Ampol Racing filled the minor spots on the podium in the fastest ever Bathurst 1000, with only one Safety Car at a convenient, for some, 29 laps from home - or one full tank of fuel. Plenty of other stuff went down too. We have a little bit of other news in #NASCAR and #Sprintcars and the change to our sharehol...

This week on the Auto Action RevLimiter we reflect on the career of Daniel Ricciardo, who deserved a lot more respect than Red Bull showed him. We also look at Renault shutting down its engine program and what that may mean for the Alpine team. And what about the anti-trust? Does this all open the door for Andretti? What is happening with the Ford engines for Bathurst? When did we all go there for the first time, and what has changed since then, aside from many more potholes on the road? Plus, w...

Lando Norris has asked for the Jaws music after dominating the Singapore Grand Prix and closing the gap to Max Verstappen to only a fraction more than two race wins. The title hunt is alive, and with Oscar Piastri ready to take points off the reigning champ, it may only be a matter of races before Norris snatches the lead in the drivers' title, just as McLaren did to the constructors' championship last week… which is just as well, because there are only six races left now. We look at the impress...

It is a news story more than 20 years in the making, but the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world, as opposed to the manufacturer of the largest vehicles in the world, has signed up to go Supercars racing. Toyota joins Australia’s largest motor racing series in 2026 with Walkinshaw Andretti United and one other yet-to-be-identified team for at least five seasons. But what does it really mean? Auto Action’s Bruce Williams was at the launch, and he dissected the meaning of life with Andrew Cl...

It is the Sandown 500 this weekend, and we have a good look at the driver pairings that matter and the co-drivers we really want to see. We even take a stab at who is going to win. And we’ve got plenty of news from the latest on #SaveSandown, #NASCAR, World Rally (#WRC), #Speedway and #MotoGP.

Charles Leclerc stole the Italian Grand Prix from Oscar Piastri with a bold single-stop strategy, leaving the Tifosi in tears of joy, while Oscar showed a grumpy face of frustration. With Max Verstappen struggling, this world championship is well and truly alive. To understand it all, we brought our very own rookie – Reese Mautone - in for FP1, and she runs rings around Bruce and Andrew without hitting the wall. Andrew and Bruce talk about all the Supercars news, because Reese doesn't follow tha...

In this edition of The Auto Action RevLimiter, we dig into Anton De Pasquale’s signing with Team 18, as revealed on the Auto Action website on Tuesday. In the game of falling dominoes, Anton’s move was triggered by the (rumoured) signing of Brodie Kostecki to his seat at Dick Johnson Racing. The last domino to fall belonged to Mark Winterbottom, and we’re not sure where we will see the former champ next year… although we doubt it will be Team 18. There is a slot left at PremiAir – and we let you...

The Supercars were back in action at Symmons Plains in Tasmania, and the action was intense—even after the race with controversy spewing into Monday morning. Nick Percat was the Saturday winner for Chevrolet, and Cam Water was the Sunday winner for Ford. But who has rejected an offer to buy his team, and why? Plus, there's F1, IndyCar and NASCAR news and a rapid preview of this weekend. All this and more on The Auto Action RevLimiter . https://autoaction.com.au/...

Australia is winning gold medals, and now it's loading up on Formula 1 drivers, with Jack Doohan's imminent elevation into the ranks. Doohan leads the news this week before we dig into Supercars. We have Silly Season, how to do the playoffs, the calendar and our mid-season reviews.

They say it was worn tyres, but wherever that 1.5kg went, it took George Russell's 2nd win this season and handed it to his teammate Lewis Hamilton, who was on a more conservative strategy. Oscar Piastri was second... but how does his season rate? We debrief every driver and every team and wonder why Carlos Sainz is going to Williams - what does he know? - and why Red Bull is sticking with Sergio Perez as the hapless Mexican hands ascendancy to McLaren. There's a little bit on the Supercars merr...

In the latest edition of The Auto Action Rev Limiter Podcast, we dig deep into ‘our’ Oscar Piastri’s first F1 Grand Prix Win… and we say ‘our’ because he has been an Auto Action Columnist before the other motorsport media in Australia even knew his name. He is the 115th winner of a Grand Prix and the 5th Australian to do so. The side play was the petulance of Lando Norris and the dummy spitting tantrum of Max Verstappen, who didn’t like working for a living. We also digest Chaz Mostert’s dominan...

For the first time this year, there will be only one weekend break between Supercars rounds as we head to the Sydney SuperNight. But what does that mean for the circus, and why does racing under lights work so well? Plus, we've got news on IndyCars and wins for Scott McLaughlin and Will Power at the Iowa Speedway. There's also NASCAR and Xfinity, Goodwood, WEC, and even the European Le Mans Series to talk about. Then, we'll chat with Craig Lowndes about the Silverado he drove in the Finke Desert...

This is the Auto Action RevLimiter, where we cover all the news in the motorsport world, starting with Lewis Hamilton's tears-inducing win in England, his first in 945 days, and did the Poms go wild? But for Oscar Piastri, it is a story of what could have been, with McLaren buggering up his strategy and costing him a win and a podium. Still, at least he isn't Sergio Perez. The Supercars in Townsville were sensational. The Saturday race was easily the best in a long while. Cam Waters won that one...

Get ready to rev up your engines with the latest episode of The Auto Action RevLimiter Edition 26 of 2024! 🏁 Join us as we dive into the heart-pumping action of the Austrian Grand Prix, where contact between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris set the stage for a nail-biting finish and put Max’s racing skills under the spotlight again as he crumbled under pressure. George Russell's came through for the win, from Oscar Piastri's whose charge was dulled by a Virtual Safety Car. But that's not all – w...

On this episode of The Autro Action Rev Limiter, Andrew, Bruce, and PG break down the Betty Klimenko interview from the latest edition of Auto Action (AA1889), the reasons why she has finally spoken out—hint: she's sick of people making things up—and why things are the way they are. PS: Barry Ryan is still the CEO, in case you heard differently elsewhere. We've got all the latest news and plenty of F1 discussion.

In this edition of The Auto Action RevLimiter, we spend a lot of time talking about the Supercars in Darwin… and it is mostly all good. James Golding was great, Broc Feeney was brilliant, Brodie Kostecki was back, and the Fords were slow. Plus, who wasn’t there, and why was only one absentee written about for a story? Was there a pretty weak attempt at public humiliation and revenge? Also, in Supercars, we talk about the Perth street race and take a swipe at the naysayers who have been talking i...

Shane van Gisbergen has gone back-to-back with a win in Sonoma to follow on from his win the week before in Portland in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, while his antipodean mates – Will Brown and Cam Waters – had mixed debuts in the NASCAR Cup Series… but both showed enough to stay on the radar or the US teams looking for the next Giz? We hear one of them is even being chased by two teams. Max Verstappen was back on top in Formula 1 in Canada, but he had to work for this win in the rain as both Lando...

Shane van Gisbergen won his first Xfinity Series race on the weekend in Portland, a week before Cam Waters and Will Brown join him as Cup Series drivers. The NASCAR racing was typically entertaining too. Esteban Ocon has been fired, but will young Aussie Jack Doohan get the job next year? Jack Miller lost his KTM factory ride for the 2025 season to Peda Acosta, but Miller remains confident of securing a competitive ride, likely with Tech3. Meanwhile, Francesco Bagnaia secured his third consecuti...

On this edition of the Auto Action Rev Limiter, we debrief a massive weekend of Motorsport; we certainly had some massive nights down under. Josef Newgarden won the Indy 500 with a last-lap pass, Christopher Bell won the big NASCAR race, and Charles Le Clerc won a typical Monaco Grand Prix... it may have the glamour, but it doesn't race well. Andrew, Bruce and PG talk about all that and more... like Aussie's winning in F4 and GT3 races and standing on the podium in F2. And then there's the RACE ...

It was a big motorsport weekend, that's for sure. Ford broke its duck with a pair of wins in Perth, one each for Chaz Mostert and Cam Waters, and we do a deep dive into what happened. Max Verstappen had another win, but he is now actually having to work for them as the McLarens close in. Then there was qualifying for the Indy 500 and a Penske lockout of the front row, with Scotty Mac the fastest driver ever at the biggest sporting venue in the world. Will Power is second and Joesf Newgarden is n...

On this week's show, Andrew, Bruce and PG rejoice at the return of #Supercars after what feels like and eternity, but is only four weeks. We preview the Perth round in this week's Auto Action RevLimiter. We've got all the news, including Cam Waters' #NASCAR Cup Series debut, Jett Lawrence's stunning Motocross Championship win, Oscar's better than Lando Drive and Andrew Miedecke wanting a dedicated 6-hour GT4 at Bathurst the day before the 12-Hour.

The Miami F1 Grand Prix finally turned it on, and for the first time this year Max Verstappen was beaten on the track. McLaren launched the attack, first with Oscar Piastri and then by Lando Norris who had a bit more luck with the Safety Cars. He pulled away for a maiden win.

Then, in Supercars, where will they go and will they go often enough in 2025 - inside the calendar with details that only we are talking about. And the Erebus sales rumours won't go away, but did we miss the clues last year? And what about a Peterwit - can he find the money to make an offer? Plus, NASCAR, IndyCar, WEC, IMSA an...

We're back from our weekend in Taupo (Tow Paw), and what an unbelievable first weekend for that venue. It was, we felt, the start of this season, too, despite it being the third round. Andrew and Bruce were there, and PG was on the couch. Brodie Kostecki was back for Erebus, Andre Heimgartner won for Brad Jones Racing, and Will Brown battled his teammate Broc Feeney for the other win. Anton De Pasquale also won the Jason Richards Trophy for the best performer over the two races - is Dick Johnson...

After a break that feels like months, the Supercars Championship is back and headed across the ditch to Taupo in the middle of the North Island. And yes, Brodie Kostecki will be there! As will the rain. Somehow, the rain will also be in China for F1's return to 中国. Philip Island was stunning on the weekend, just gone, if a little cold, but we chatted about whether Supercars should return to the land of penguins. Plus, there's more... all the news in the way only the Auto Action RevLimiter can de...

Brodie Kostecki is back! The 2023 Champion has cured his ills with Erebus Motorsport and will be back in the Supercars Championship for Taupo next week. Our fearless crew gets deep into the mire and steps around the Peterwits to discuss what it means for the sport and what it has meant. We chat about the passing of Bev Brock, an icon of the Australian motorsport scene whose loss will be felt by many. Then we talk about the return of boredom to F1 and refuse to talk about the team that won. It's ...

This week we had to work hard for Supercar News, but we found some. It was easier in Speedway with the Easter Trail and the new speedway opening at Eastern Creek. Liberty Media has bought MotoGP, there was the Bathurst 6-Hour, the World Rally Championship in Kenya and, of course, a NASCAR wrap-up with drivers throwing broken bumpers at rivals. We talk about why Formula E is boring and irrelevant, and then ramble our way through the latest F1 news... where should Carlos Sainz go? Don't forget to ...
