In this Issue:

Our news starts with the breaking revelations around the plans for both Brad Jones Racing and PremiAir Racing to leave Chevrolet as the General prepares to announce Team 18 is the replacement Homologation team for Triple Eight.

F1 Team Managers:
F1 can be a hard place if you are the team principal of a team that is not seen to be delivering on its supposed potential – the axe can fall fast, but they are people as well. Who are they, and where did they come from? Luis Vasconcelos digs into the back story of the 10 men running F1 teams.

Ford GT40:
Born from Henry Ford II’s mission to defeat Ferrari at Le Mans, the Ford GT40 evolved from the Lola Mk6 into a racing legend. Overcoming early failures, the car ultimately dominated with a 1-2-3 finish in 1966 and victories through 1969, cementing its status as a symbol of Ford’s performance-driven ambition and one of motorsport’s most iconic machines.

Peter Brock at Le Mans (1976):
In 1976, Peter Brock took a bold leap to Le Mans with a self-funded, heavily modified BMW 3.5 CSL. Despite limited resources and mechanical setbacks, including racing with only three brakes, Brock’s team set the fastest BMW lap before retiring.
The experience boosted his international racing credentials and proved his strength as both a driver and team leader.

WRC27 (World Rally Championship):
The FIA’s WRC27 overhaul aims to cut costs, open the top class to varied car types and powertrains, and bring back manufacturers. Using standardised spaceframe chassis and Rally2 components, the new rules target greater accessibility while balancing performance. Despite concerns, the plan is a bold push to revive rallying’s global appeal.

Matt Stone Racing (MSR):
Matt Stone Racing has become a Gen3 Supercars surprise package, scoring a historic 1-2 at the Australian GP with Cameron Hill’s maiden win. With a stripped-back, racer-first mindset and growing engineering talent, MSR is proving it can punch above its weight—and may soon join the fight for championship glory.

We have plenty of race coverage from nationals and classics to Supercars, F1, WRC, NASCAR and IMSA plus more.

In Road & Track, Bruce Williams takes the stunning Toyota GR Yaris for a run.
