Another big few weeks in Motorsport sees the latest issue of Auto Action tackling the most prevalent stories that have shaped the world of racing.

THE FIGHT FOR OSCAR

In what was a bombshell story in Formula 1, AUTO ACTION covers all the drama surrounding the battle for Australian young gun Oscar Piastri, in which Alpine and McLaren have been left to duke it out for the most prized and sought after signature in F1.

The two-part saga also looks into the ramifications for fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo, as Piastri’s apparent McLaren deal has torn his beleaguered compatriot from his 2023 racing seat.

THE REBUILDING OF THE ADELAIDE 500

AUTO ACTIONS Andrew Clarke delves into the relaunching of the Supercars highly anticipated Adelaide 500 event, including the infrastructural details that come along with the renaissance of the famous East End street race.

AUTO ACTION’S SUPERCARS SAGA FOLLOW UP

The war-ground that surrounds the ownership of Supercars following AUTO ACTION’s special investigation into the rejected European takeover bid has taken yet another twist, and it is believed that the controlling company, Racing Australia Consolidated Enterprises (RACE), is looking at acquiring the Australia Racing group (ARG).

Plus all the latest Supercars news, including the astonishing Zac Best wildcard pole, the fallout from the Heimgartner/Randle grid crash, the latest on where the Gen3 plans sit, and the weekend’s full review of racing.
