The intensity is reaching new levels with Supercars Finals in full swing and the Formula 1 season on the home stretch, and everything we may have known has taken some big twists and turns.

In Supercars, the Flying Fords have been dominating despite disparity claims, and Chaz Mostert has jumped from being a Finals contender from left field to the bloke they may all have to beat.

While Oscar Piastri has ceded the lead in the World Drivers' Championship, our man in F1, Luis Vasconcelos, says it may not be as much of a form slump as it looks and it may just be a short series of tracks that do not suit his style.

Flying Fords: Mustang Momentum
Our cover highlights the Ford teams’ surge with major wins at The Bend, Bathurst and the Gold Coast, but the parity debate isn’t going away as tension continues to build across the grid. What was behind the protest at Bathurst, and does the Mustang form remove the parity debate? We dig into it along with coverage of Bathurst and the Gold Coast, and you might be surprised by our deep dive.

Supercars Youthquake: The 2026 Driver Shuffle
Are we on the precipice of the biggest generational shift in years in Supercars?

Plus, we look at some of the changes in the teams, and where all the manufacturers are going after another Camaro car goes Ford.

Piastri’s Form Shift Explained
Our current day F1 coverage looks at the form shift that has brought Max Verstappen into the 2025 Championship hunt as Lando Norris wrests the championship lead from Oscar Piastri. But do not panic, the run home may just suit the Melburnian as Vasconcelos looks at driving styles and why these tracks may be more to Piastri's liking.

Jochen Rindt: F1’s Winged Warrior
Our F1 history piece celebrates one of Formula 1’s fiercest talents, Jochen Rindt, and the legacy left by the sport’s only posthumous World Champion. His efforts in the Tasman Series showed Australians firsthand just how talented he was.

F1 Streamliners: The First Aero Revolution
Long before today’s aero arms race, F1 experimented with radical streamlined designs. Lorenza Baer has dug into the history of the streamliners in a fascinating study of the short-lived but defining era that shaped modern aerodynamics.

Farewelling Garry Rogers and George Shepheard
Australian motorsport lost two of its icons in the last month, and we have a look at and pay tribute to both Rogers and Shepheard and the roles they played in the lives of many in Australian motorsport.

In News Extra we talk exclusively with NASCAR Cup Series star Austin Cindric as he prepares to head to Australia for a Supercars cameo with Tickford, and we look at new Xfinity Series champion Jesse Love who is also coming down to race Super2 in Adelaide. We have our Global Racing Wrap with WRC, WEC, IndyCar, MotoGP, IMSA and more, the biggest results, storylines, controversies and standout performances from around the world.

And in Time Machine we look at the fascinating French-Italian mastermind behind the Gordini legend, and the creations that helped shape motorsport’s early decades after a Paris party left a champagne bill so big it changed his future.
