New, free Auto Action Digital out now

Auto Action Digital is back with a bumper issue, loaded with the best race reports and news from here and overseas.

Supercars take centre stage with the AirTouch 500 at The Bend, where Todd Hazelwood delivered a dream result on home turf and Brodie Kostecki booked his Finals ticket with a win in their first outing together with Dick Johnson Racing.

We unpack the parity debate that flared with Ford’s aero tweaks, cover the big crashes and pit dramas, and capture the emotion of a record crowd at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park.

And we look at the Toyota GR Supra Supercar’s first track outing at Winton.

The international flavour is equally strong. Formula One hit the temple of speed at Monza, and we have every angle covered as the title fight rolls on with the controversial application of Papaya Rules and accusation of Lando Norris bias.

Across the Atlantic, IndyCar brought the show to Nashville with a chaotic Music City finale, while the WRC Rally Chile Bio Bío in South America proved as tough as ever for crews tackling the rocks and heat.

Closer to home, the world’s quickest machines gathered for the World Time Attack Challenge, once again rewriting what’s possible around Sydney Motorsport Park.

From heavily-modified monsters to the stories behind the teams chasing tenths, it remains one of the most spectacular events on the calendar.

TCR also grabs attention, with global boss Marcello Lotti outlining a Macau pathway and a new promoter for Australia.

We add the views of competitors and team owners on what comes next.

Plus, we check in on Aussies and antipodeans abroad — from Oscar Piastri in F1 to Shane van Gisbergen in NASCAR, Matt Campbell in WEC and a brace of young Aussies running open wheelers in the UK.

We have grassroots coverage, sharp opinion, and historical flashbacks, and this edition has something for every fan. Whether your passion is Monza, Nashville, The Bend, or Toowoomba, Auto Action has it covered.

     'description' => 'The Supercars Championship, currently known as the Repco Supercars Championship, is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia\'s biggest sports. It originated from the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), which held its first race in 1960 at Gnoo-Blas in Orange, New South Wales. The ATCC evolved over the years, and in 1997, it was rebranded as the V8 Supercars Championship, eventually becoming the Supercars Championship we know today.

Some of the leading drivers in the history of the Supercars Championship include Peter Brock, who is often referred to as the "King of the Mountain" for his nine victories at the Bathurst 1000, a race that is considered one of the biggest in the series. Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.

The Bathurst 1000, held at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, is arguably the most famous race in the Supercars calendar. Other significant races include the Sandown 500 and the Adelaide 500, which are known for their challenging circuits and thrilling competitions.
