Bell’s only chance of advancing into the final round of the playoffs was in securing victory, and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver came in to pit for new tyres on the final caution, produced by Landon Cassill, and lined up sixth on the restart with 24 of 500 laps remaining. This gave him the opportunity
With Kenny Brack having recently picked Indianapolis Motor Speedway as his favourite track for this series, we were worried Rick Mears would do the same. Because how could we then say ‘no’ to Indy 500’s four-time winner, six-time polesitter and 11-time front-row starter? Yet thankfully it wasn’t an issue, because Mears picked the Milwaukee Mile
No details about Martin’s exact race programme for 2023 were announced, but options could range from the final vacant seat in BMW’s line-up for the Daytona 24 Hours to any of the marque’s factory-supported entries in GT3 championships such as the DTM.

There had been plenty of speculation regarding Audi Sport in 2022, with many citing the impending end of the R8 supercar’s production as an indication that its customer division would be wound up in the coming years. The rumours came against the backdrop of other changes in Audi’s motorsport portfolio, with the under-development LMDh project
The Hendrick Motorsports driver, who was eliminated from the playoffs after the round of 12 at Charlotte, was in scintillating form and completed a clean sweep of stage victories.

Palou, who made his debut in an official Formula 1 session by contesting FP1 for McLaren at Circuit of The Americas on Friday, already has a superlicence. But the Chip Ganassi Racing IndyCar driver, who will remain with the team next year after a protracted tug-of-war with Arrow McLaren SP, believes that AMSP rival and fellow McLaren
Palou, who will remain with Chip Ganassi Racing in IndyCar next year after a lengthy contractual tug of war over his services with Arrow McLaren SP, made his official F1 bow at the Circuit of the Americas in FP1 for the US Grand Prix. Replacing Daniel Ricciardo for the hour-long session, 2021 IndyCar title-winner Palou turned in a best
The 2019 Formula 2 championship runner-up was told by Williams in September that he would not be retained after three seasons of racing with the team. The 27-year-old Canadian has since been linked to various IndyCar drives, including to the seat left vacant at Chip Ganassi Racing by the retirement of Jimmie Johnson from full-time racing.
On Tuesday, NASCAR suspended 23XI Racing Toyota driver Wallace from this weekend’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for intentionally wrecking Larson’s Hendrick Motorsport Chevrolet during last Sunday’s race at Las Vegas.

The drivers will use equally prepared 500hp V8-powered cars that usually take part in the Gran Turismo Mexico Series. The entry is led by five Mexican drivers who raced during the Champ Car
Sebastien Bourdais and Newman-Haas Racing were an unstoppable force in Indycar racing prior to the Frenchman taking up a long-awaited Formula 1 opportunity with Toro Rosso for 2008. After impressing in his 2003 Champ Car rookie season, taking pole on his debut and winning three times, he romped to four consecutive titles between 2004 and
Andretti, who switched from full-time IndyCar racing to Indy 500-only at the end of 2020, first raced the KULR-backed #98 Andretti Autosport last year at the Memorial Day weekend classic and finished 19th, while the same set-up this year saw him finish in 22nd place.

Chastain took the field three-wide on a restart with 16 laps to go to move into the lead but Logano – among a group of cars that pitted for new tyres during the previous caution period – was coming up fast through the field. Logano finally caught Chastain with two laps to go and easily
Busch, the 2004 Cup champion, has been sidelined from competition since he suffered symptoms from a concussion in a 23 July accident during qualifying at Pocono. The 44-year-old said on Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that he’s “still not 100-percent and I’m still not cleared to race”, so could not commit to compete for a
Multiple Formula 2 race winner Armstrong of New Zealand was in action at Sebring on Wednesday, along with four other drivers as part of a rookie evaluation day. Although he ended the day fourth fastest after turning 131 laps of the 1.7-mile short course, Coyne said that was not representative. He told Autosport: “We kinda
Although fuel levels and push-to-pass boost data was kept largely secret between the five teams that were testing at the Sebring short course, 28-year-old Blomqvist’s best effort was 0.33 seconds clear of his nearest opposition, Formula 2 race winner Juri Vips for Rahal Letterman Lanigan. Afterward, Blomqvist – who finished runner-up to Esteban Ocon in
The Hitech Grand Prix team-mates currently lie tenth (Vips) and 12th (Armstrong) in the 2022 championship, with one round remaining in Abu Dhabi. Both have previously expressed interest in switching to IndyCar, with former Red Bull junior Vips approached by a well-established team that then elected to retain its current line-up for 2022. Today Vips will
Custer slowed on the final lap of the playoff cut-off race at the Charlotte Roval, blocking Austin Dillon, which helped Briscoe to gain two positions and escape elimination from the championship.

This year we’re mainly focused on the GT World Challenge, after a year and a half of driving on the Nordschleife in the NLS. The first year was cut short with COVID, and this year we did the ones prior to the 24-hour race. Everybody looking to compete in the Nurburgring 24 Hours will most
The Club’s lavish 470-acre plot surrounded by villas, restaurants and multi-car garages, first opened in 2012 and contains three tracks.

Kyle Larson says he “made way too many mistakes” to successfully defend his NASCAR Cup title after being eliminated from the 2022 championship playoffs prior to the semi-final round. Larson won his first Cup title last year in his first season driving for Hendrick Motorsports and won a series-high 10 races, but has only won
Bell’s only chance of advancing to the next round of playoffs was winning, but that possibility didn’t seem likely until a pair of late-race cautions turned Sunday’s race upside down. During a caution for debris on lap 105 of the scheduled 109-lap race, Bell pitted for new tyres. On the ensuing restart, A.J. Allmendinger’s Kaulig
Let’s start with those who didn’t make our top 10. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s midseason revival resulted in Graham Rahal progressing from contending for top 10s to fighting for top fives while rookie Christian Lundgaard was able to earn spots in the Firestone Fast Six and claim a runner-up finish in the IMS road course’s
Despite his abundant talent, rookie Kyle Kirkwood had several accidents in the Foyt #14 this past season so that in 10 of the 17 races, he was classified 20th or worse, the net result being the entry finished only 24th in the championship.
