The Centenary 24hrs of LeMans delivers!!! However NASCAR at Sonoma doesn't!

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:00:00 -0400

The 100th running of the 24hrs of LeMans produced an memorable classic of a race, with the Hypercar class being the star of the show and LMP2 and GTE having there all too familiar close battles for victory. From the rain causing havoc, to the strategy chess matches, to the Garage 56 Camaro being a rolling alarm clock for spectators in the night time, this race had a bit of everything for everyone.

Meanwhile NASCAR was in Sonoma and while the Xfinity Series provided some shock results, the Cup Series shows a worrying trend is developing on road courses.

Supercars Shine in Tasmania! Indy 500 Qualifying was crazy!! North Wilkesboro Returns!!

Thu, 25 May 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Races 10, 11, and 12 took place in Tasmania at Symmons Plains Raceway for the Repco V8 Supercars, and boy was the action exciting. We saw Coca Cola dominance, a champion in the wall and a tangle between two championship contenders that has continued to create a very interesting championship fight moving forward

Qualifying and Practice Sessions saw history, action and drama as we had the fastest ever pole speed, many one-race entries making the show, a scary crash and a full time driver not making the race (then making it)

NASCAR at North Wilkesboro...a phrase that many thought they would never hear again, yet the track made its return to the calendar after 27 years away!!

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix left much to be desired as the event did its best impression of the 2016 European Grand Prix. And with Miami on the horizon, may wonder about the lack of excitement in the series this season.

Meanwhile, IndyCar puts forth another entertainment masterclass at Barber Motorsports park, with another duel for victory between Romain Grosjean and Scott McLaughlin taking centre stage!

The Monster Mile tends to take a lot more than it gives in most cases, but Dover was in a giving mood if your last name was Truex this weekend, as Ryan and Martin both shined in NASCAR events this weekend at the one-mile concrete oval.
