We have all the latest news, along with unique and extensive coverage of the Bathurst 1000.

Racetracks are a hot topic with Victoria nearing a state election on November 26 and Auto Actions exclusive stories fill the front pages of the latest issue as our writers explore in depth the impending boom of Victoria’s racetrack revival.

Andrew Clarke kicks things off by revealing that motorsport will be on the agenda of the upcoming Vic state election campaign, revealing plans of a $300 million-dollar purpose-built motor racing facility at Avalon.

Talk is bubbling that the Dan Andrews-led Labor government is set to pledge a new $300 million ‘Home of Victorian Motorsport’ at Avalon, beside the airport near Geelong.

Yet Rodney and Kim Jane, son and nephew of the legendary Bob, are already planning to revive Calder Park for national road and drag racing.

Editor in Chief Bruce Williams breaks the news of Calder Park Raceway being on the verge of an historic return to operation, with an exclusive AUTO ACTION interview with Calder Park’s owners, Rodney and Kim Jane. The cousins outline their plans to bring racing back to the historic circuit.

Motorsport Australia recently did a track inspection of the famous Jane venue on the north-western outskirts of Melbourne that long billed itself as the ‘Home of Australian Motorsport’.

As AUTO ACTION has already reported, Sandown on the other side of Melbourne may yet have years more life in it – and Winton in Victoria’s north is also set to step up its drive to keep its place on the national motor racing scene.

Plus, the people have spoken! The Save Wakefield Park Group achieves quick success, gaining 20,000 petition signatures in under a week. Timothy Neal speaks with Julia Finn-NSW Shadow Sports Minister who will present the petition before the Legislative Assembly.

The latest issue has our massive post Bathurst 1000 coverage, we have plenty of news and coverage from the ‘Great Race’ including ‘Car-by-Car’ information.

Our Formula 1 man, Luis Vasconcelos, reveals his one-on-one interview with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, who tells AUTO ACTION that he is not done yet and his desire is to leave the sport on a high.

All this and more, including AUTO ACTION’s relentless dedication to its coverage of state, national, and global events.
