The Auto Action Rev Limiter Andrew Clarke

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 it and the sport down. We say you were wrong.

 

The 24 Hour of Le Mans excited Bruce and PG, who watched the entire race… not. Well, they watched enough to be truly excited about another Ferrari win at one of the greatest sporting events in the world.

 

We have some news and not much else this week.

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 Norris and George Russell stuffed up any chance of a win. Dan Ricciardo was fired up by comments from Jacques Villeneuve on the telecast questioning whether he was ever good enough to be in F1 at all. P5 gave ur Dan all the ammunition he needed to take aim at the Canadian former champion.

Plus, we’ve got all the latest news on Supercars, F1, IndyCar, and whatever else came to our minds at the time. We also look at the Darwin Supercars and the hypercars at Le Mans for the 24-hour race.

So, join us now for the Auto Action RevLimiter and make sure you check on the website for all the latest news and for the digital magazine – www.autoaction.com.au

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 consecutive Italian Motorcycle Grand Prix victory, maintaining pressure on series leader Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez. Scott Dixon emerged victorious at the Detroit IndyCar street race, extending his series lead over Alex Palou. Toby Price, Paul Weel, and Brent Bauman claimed victory at the Baja 500, while various winners emerged at The Bend's secret Speed Series meeting.

Jock Goodyer received top honours at the 2024 Australian Speedway Awards, and Peugeot received a significant Balance of Performance adjustment for Hypercars at Le Mans, affecting various manufacturers.

And we start the loose stuff; again, we set about fixing Supercars and addressing the $20m loss.

Oh yeah, we take a quick peak at #F1 in Canada.

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 - the owners of Supercars - reporting better financials than the year before.

It is all there in this edition of The Auto Action Rev Limiter.

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 next.

All that and more on the Auto Action Rev Limiter.

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.

Plus we're back to #F1 racing with consequences and Imola is toughened up with reduced run-offs.
