  1. Papaya Knife-Fight, Supercars Shake-Up & Saluting the Greats

    Papaya Knife-Fight, Supercars Shake-Up & Saluting the Greats

    Auto Action’s weekly motorsport therapy session… now with extra caffeine and fewer brakes. Strap in, legends — this week’s RevLimiter is a bit like the second chicane at Monza: fast, messy, and guaranteed to upset somebody. We kick things off with F1’s young-gun cage match, where Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are split by a single lonely championship point. One. Uno. The margin is thinner than a McLaren PR statement.So… what happens now?Does Oscar keep his ice-veined rhythm, or does Lando’s late-season desperation finally boil over? And while everyone’s arm-wrestling over papaya bragging rights, we’ll ask whether Max Verstappen is actually out of this… or just coiling for a late-season sucker punch. We wouldn’t bet the house — but maybe a small rental car. And yes — Ollie Bearman. Mexico. The kid looked like he’d been driving F1 cars since preschool. Superstar energy. Big future. Ferrari might actually have something to smile about — assuming they don’t find a way to ruin it. Back home, Supercars went nuclear.Chaz Mostert didn’t just win twice — he turned the championship upside down like he was shaking loose change from the couch cushions. Meanwhile, the Finals format has already claimed its first scalps: Brodie Kostecki – gone. Ryan Wood – gone. Anton De Pasquale – also gone. The drama is real and the field is getting thinner than a pit-lane excuse. We’ll also take a moment to remember two towering figures who shaped Aussie racing:Garry Rogers — the big personality who never stopped giving young drivers a crack.And George Sheppard — a quiet giant whose fingerprints are all over the sport’s modern history. It’s all coming your way: fast, loud, and with more bite than a Bathurst hotel schnitty.Don’t miss it.

  2. The RevLimiter – We’re Back, and Still Pulling No Punches

    The RevLimiter – We’re Back, and Still Pulling No Punches

    We’re back after a short pit stop — almost the same crew, slightly tweaked format, and still as straight-shooting as ever. This week, we pull apart Supercars’ return to Queensland Raceway, where Broc Feeney decided to dominate for fun… and even jumped the start to keep himself entertained. We’ll cover who else shone, who got lucky under Safety Car, and how a monster crowd also meant a monster queue to get out. We also reflect on the life and legacy of the late John Sheppard, discuss Shane van Gisbergen’s NASCAR hot streak, and the rough day for Connor Zilisch, who punted SVG to win an Xfinity race, fell off his own car i his victory celebration, and left with a broken collarbone. SVG would never do that, he just falls off mountain bikes. All that, plenty of opinions, and maybe a little mischief. So strap in — The RevLimiter is back. PLUS, we have discounts galore.

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

    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 case for a full-time seat while managing to upstage Yuki from afar. Plus, we get weird and nostalgic in our look at the latest Auto Action Premium magazine, featuring: Cam Waters doing Supercars and America Cameron McLeod bossing the Mustang Challenge at Le Mans Max’s meltdown Hesketh’s 50-year reign of chaos Jim Richards’ Falcon moment And why the Tasman Cup was better than your average Grand Prix 📦 Still 559 points on the table in F1… and still plenty to argue about. 🎧 Tune in, hit subscribe, and remember:Use AAREVL25 for a 25% discount on car parts at acdelcopartsdirect.com.au.And if you want a proper Sim setup, PAGNIANCOMMERCIAL gets you 10% off at pagnianimports.com.au.

  4. Darwin Direction, Ford Frustration & Young Guns Rising

    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 Wood are already race winners before they can rent a car overseas. We’re breaking down the rise of the Zoomers and what it means for the sport. Meanwhile, the Ford vs Chevy parity debate is back—because of course it is. The Blue Oval camp reckons they’re still 2km/h down in the speed traps, despite the tweaks. And now the whispers are turning into something more—a possible switch from the Gen III to the Gen IV Coyote engine. Officially denied… but unofficially? Let’s just say the story’s not going away. We dig into the politics and the potential. Big news too from Targa Tasmania, which has finally been cleared to return post-coroner’s report. Bruce has been on the phone to the top brass at Targa—his full yarn drops in print soon, but this episode gives you the early scoop on what’s changing, why it matters, and how they plan to keep the event alive. Over in Europe the chaos continues in Formula 1: Is Fred Vasseur safe at Ferrari? Or is he just the next in a long line of team bosses to find out how sharp Maranello’s knives can be? Flavio Briatore is back—because of course he is. But what exactly is his role? Can a man banned for race fixing really be your performance advisor with a straight face? And over at McLaren, Papaya Rules. The team’s form continues to impress, with Lando and Oscar proving the car’s the real deal. Has McLaren leapfrogged Mercedes for good? Plus, a quick wrap of IndyCar, where Alex Palou is back doing boringly brilliant things—and nobody has an answer for it. All that and more on The RevLimiter. Get it wherever you get your podcasts.

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

    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 still debating it, the podcast panel has receipts. It's called video replay, look it up. Oh yeah, and Lando admitted it. Meanwhile, in France, Ferrari made it three on the trot at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The boys were positively glowing about the Prancing Horse’s endurance credentials. There was also a hearty nod to Cameron MacLeod, who swept both Mustang Challenge races at Circuit de la Sarthe. He’s officially on the international radar now, and with whispers that Ford is shipping 25 Mustang Dark Horse Rs to Australia, the panel suspects we’ll be seeing the pony cars thunder into the local scene sooner rather than later. It’s shaping up as a bold new undercard for SRO's SpeedSeries. Over in Indy NXT, Lochie Hughes is quietly launching a title campaign with the subtlety of a firecracker in a phone booth. Another win in the books and a sniff of the championship lead, expect us to start talking “what ifs” for a 2026 IndyCar seat. And yes, we were treated to some proper Shane Van Gisbergen lore. The man not only dominated NASCAR’s inaugural race in Mexico, but did so while battling a bout of gastro that would’ve had most of us curled up in a foetal position. SVG? He just wiped his visor and kept passing people, and then slapped them in the face with speed. Finally, the elephant in the room—or more accurately, the barely-moving grid: Is TCR dead? The vibe? Grim. The fixes? Unclear. The optimism? Not overflowing. Let’s just say if your race series is being spoken about in the same breath as SuperUtes circa 2019, you’ve got a problem. All in all, another belter of an episode, equal parts analysis, banter, and the occasional savage truth bomb. Worth the listen. Especially if you're a fan of Ferrari, Ford, fast Aussies, or feuding teammates. PLUS, we have discounts galore.
