BATHURST PREVIEW EDITION

Auto Action Premium October issue 1911 is out now
The pressure is building as the Supercars paddock gears up for the biggest race of the year ... the Bathurst 1000.

In this big Bathurst preview, we’ve done a deep dive with driver-by-driver, car-by-car analysis.

Who we think will win and why.
Reflections on 60 years of the Great Race: Some of the big mountain moments through the decades - From the 1960’s through to the modern era.

And we haven’t forgotten the rest of motorsport, this jam-packed edition covers it all.

What else is inside?

Papaya Rules: How Will the Dice Roll?
McLaren looked nailed-on for a drivers’ crown; now the constructors’ chase is tightening and tension’s showing through the papaya paint. Strategy, development cadence, intra-garage pressure, and the lurking threat that could blow the title open.

Powering On: Will Power Has a Fresh Future
Stung at Road America and still walking tall, Power’s renaissance is more than a second wind, it’s a rewire. The mindset shifts, engineering resets, and why the Toowoomba icon’s next act might be his most exciting.

Both Sides of the Fence: Burgess on Gen3 Success
Adrian Burgess fronts up: why Gen3 was designed to kill the chequebook arms race and hand racing back to racers. Where it’s worked, where it hasn’t, and what’s next when parity meets politics at 300 km/h.

Race of the Century: Moffat versus Geoghegan
An exclusive extract from David Hassell’s The Boss: The Inside Story of Allan Moffat and his Trans Am Mustang. Muscle, myth, and two heavyweights who raised the sport’s heartbeat, and the bar.

Lights, Camera and All the Action
Onboards turned F1 from theatre-in-the-distance to sweat-on-the-gloves intimacy. The tech, the turning points, and the unintended consequences when every kerb strike becomes global content.

Time Machine: Fiat Mephistopheles
Italian engineering, a German demon, Franco-Brit spite and an aeroplane engine walk into a workshop… Out rolls Mephistopheles. One of the wildest creations ever to wear wheels, and a grin.

Inside Line: Racing From Around the World
The best monthly scan in the business: national series that deserve your attention, international headlines that actually matter, and the form lines that will blindside the casuals. We span the entire motorsport spectrum like no other in the business.

Motorsport News & Views
We sweep the paddocks from F1 to Supercars and back again, separating signal from social-media static. Smart takes, sharper elbows, and the odd sacred cow tipped over for sport.

Plus, in News Extra, the stories you thought you knew:
GR Supra politics and potential, Lancia’s ghost stirring again, the pipeline of young guns who don’t need a silver spoon to go fast, and why TARGA’s next chapter matters for real-world road safety and competition. Fewer press releases, more truth serum.
