The Auto Action Rev Limiter Andrew Clarke

It is 30 years since Ayrton Senna died at Imola, and our crew goes behind the scenes with untold stories. Plus, where will Adrian Newey go, and is he worth EURO150 a year?

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 and Motorsport Australia dump $1m.

This is the Auto Action RevLimiter.

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 Racing back?

There was some F1 and NASCAR, but we wanted to talk about Taupo.

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 deliver.

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 childish, but at least we’re not nasty.


All this and the latest news in this edition of The Auto Action RevLimiter.

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 jump onto the Auto Action website to sign-up for the free digital copy of the magazine, and hard copy is out tomorrow. 

The Auto Action Rev Limiter debriefs the Australian Grand Prix, Andrew and Bruce from trackside and PG from the couch... and all three were excited that Max Verstappen didn't win and that Carlos Sainz. Oscar Piastri nearly pulled off a podium and he clearly won the merchandise sales battle with everyone else.

The Supercars raced without pitstops and it was good. Will Brown won the weekend and the Mustangs found new ways to hit each other. There's more too... Shane van Gisbergen and NASCAR, MotoGP and a million dollars IndyCar race without points. 

And what is it with Track Limits, why has NASCAR joined the slippery slope into absurdity? It was the last bastion for motorsport, now it is just another class making a mockery of itself. If you want track limits, give them consequences not time penalties. And the Supercars App and Website still suck.
