Ohhhh my goodness this race is insane

Troy @troylonerism.bsky.social · 1d

this is why I love motor racing - the top three of the Bathurst 1000 separated by 0.9 seconds with 10 laps to go in treacherous weather, this is amazing 😍

Ryan Wood holding back tears in that interview, ohhhh he's gonna make me cry 😥. That must be such a heartbreaking and cruel feeling, your whole life is geared to this one moment of your career, and for it to stutter to an end like that must be devastating

And there's still 20 laps to go, so we still got like 45 minutes of racing left!

The complexion of this race has changed like five times in the last ten minutes, unbelievably incredible

The Red Bull Camaros are marching through the field. Whincup/Feeney up to fourth, and Pye/Brown up to eighth. Never count Triple Eight out at Bathurst ... ever!

The weather forecast at the top of the mountain at Bathurst is only reliable if the informant hasn't started drinking alcohol yet 😂

MX-5 supremacy! Sometimes the simplest of formulas and championship formats is best 🤔

THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPION IS RACING SUPER FORMULA NEXT YEAR, THIS IS HUGE!

Kalle did seem slightly disinterested this year and it took him a while to get to grips with the new Hankook tyres. But I love someone who is willing to stick their neck out and have a go at something else, what a king 👑

Denny Hamlin is certainly having a 2025 to remember - he's got better bars than Taylor Swift and he's gonna end NASCAR on December 1st, so he's got a bright future ahead of him lmao

Goodyear made the Roval exciting this year, the racing was good and the SVG/Larson/Bell battle was fantastic!

NEW: NASCAR's Playoffs Aren't About Racing

🏆We SHOULD be talking about SVG vs. Larson!
🤩Logano vs Chastain was fascinating...
😒...until it came down to ANOTHER desperate move
😡Denny Hamlin makes a pass and has WORSE title odds?
👍Why we actually STILL like the Roval...

This is one of those random Formula One races that has stuck in my head for all of time. Not just because the Korean officials randomly sent a Jeep course car onto a live racetrack without a safety car, but because Hulkenberg finished P4 in a Sauber that had absolutely no business being there!

#OnThisDay in 2013 Seb Vettel won the last #KoreanGP. #AnorakFact: he took the pole, led from lights to flag, & drove fastest lap - a grand chelem - becoming the first driver since Jim Clark in ’63 to do it in consecutive #F1 GPs (Vettel had done it in Singapore 2 weeks before).

THAT last lap pass by Güven 🔥. That could be one of the greatest overtaking manoeuvres I've ever seen in 20+ plus years following motor racing of all sorts, absolutely incredible!
