The Auto Action Rev Limiter episodes

  • Papaya Knife-Fight, Supercars Shake-Up & Saluting the Greats

    Auto Action’s weekly motorsport therapy session… now with extra caffeine and fewer brakes.

    Strap in, legends — this week’s RevLimiter is a bit like the second chicane at Monza: fast, messy, and guaranteed to upset somebody.

    We kick things off with F1’s young-gun cage match, where Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are split by a single lonely championship point. One. Uno. The margin is thinner than a McLaren PR statement.
    So… what happens now?
    Does Oscar keep his ice-veined rhythm, or does Lando’s late-season desperation finally boil over? And while everyone’s arm-wrestling over papaya bragging rights, we’ll ask whether Max Verstappen is actually out of this… or just coiling for a late-season sucker punch. We wouldn’t bet the house — but maybe a small rental car.

    And yes — Ollie Bearman. Mexico. The kid looked like he’d been driving F1 cars since preschool. Superstar energy. Big future. Ferrari might actually have something to smile about — assuming they don’t find a way to ruin it.

    Back home, Supercars went nuclear.
    Chaz Mostert didn’t just win twice — he turned the championship upside down like he was shaking loose change from the couch cushions. Meanwhile, the Finals format has already claimed its first scalps:

    • Brodie Kostecki – gone.

    • Ryan Wood – gone.

    • Anton De Pasquale – also gone.

    The drama is real and the field is getting thinner than a pit-lane excuse.

    We’ll also take a moment to remember two towering figures who shaped Aussie racing:
    Garry Rogers — the big personality who never stopped giving young drivers a crack.
    And George Sheppard — a quiet giant whose fingerprints are all over the sport’s modern history.

    It’s all coming your way: fast, loud, and with more bite than a Bathurst hotel schnitty.
    Don’t miss it.

  • The Hour of Truth: Bathurst Parity, Lord Vadar and Papaya Rules

    We only hit record when there’s something worth saying, and this week we’ve got a full hour of it.

    Bruce has the unemployment office on speed-dial: co-drivers who’ve stayed a season too long, main-game names living off past glory, and a couple of “can’t-miss” prospects who somehow keep missing. No sacred cows, just fresh steaks.

    We rip into Bathurst’s fallout with parity bunfights, TRC theatre, and a twilight finish that felt weird even by Mount Panorama standards... plus the kids who stole the show while Dunlop’s wets basically saved it.

    Then it’s Papaya Rules: what McLaren’s team orders mean for Oscar vs Lando, and whether the championship maths now lives in the garage as much as on track. And keep your toes out of the water, Max the Shark is coming. If Red Bull smell blood over the final run, this title fight gets feral fast.

    And yes, the Great Dane is back, Lord Vader with a headset. Roland on the pit wall means pit-lane politics just got spicy, and a few comfy seats aren’t so comfy anymore.

    One hour. No fluff. Sharp takes, hard truths, and a few laughs at our own expense.

    Search “Auto Action RevLimiter” and press play.

  • Firing some motorsport pub ammo

    Just two blokes, Andrew & Bruce. talking motorsport over a beer… well, maybe not this week. We pull apart the Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Oscar’s slips, Lando’s missed punches, Max’s metronomic dominance, and Red Bull Racing’s revival under its new regime. George Russell, Carlos Sainz, and the small matter of a Williams podium all get a run, too.

    Then we swing back to The Bend 500, seven days on, to ask what actually mattered, who nailed the start, and who never fired. Plus, Cameron McLeod’s big weekend at Indy in GT4, and a word on TCR’s quiet resurgence.

    It’s RevLimiter: no fluff, no fence-sitting, plenty of throttle.

  • The RevLimiter – We’re Back, and Still Pulling No Punches

    We’re back after a short pit stop — almost the same crew, slightly tweaked format, and still as straight-shooting as ever. This week, we pull apart Supercars’ return to Queensland Raceway, where Broc Feeney decided to dominate for fun… and even jumped the start to keep himself entertained. We’ll cover who else shone, who got lucky under Safety Car, and how a monster crowd also meant a monster queue to get out.

    We also reflect on the life and legacy of the late John Sheppard, discuss Shane van Gisbergen’s NASCAR hot streak, and the rough day for Connor Zilisch, who punted SVG to win an Xfinity race, fell off his own car i his victory celebration, and left with a broken collarbone. SVG would never do that, he just falls off mountain bikes.

    All that, plenty of opinions, and maybe a little mischief. So strap in — The RevLimiter is back.

    PLUS, we have discounts galore.

  • New Format, Same Punch as we debrief the Austrian Grand Prix

    No news.

    No tight bit.

    Just pure, unfiltered Loose.

    We’re jumping straight into the thick of it with a bumper chat about the Austrian Grand Prix, and the revival of Papaya Power. McLaren’s McMiracle nearly came undone, but Oscar and Lando showed why they’re the sharpest pair on the grid right now, mistakes and all.

    We’ll dissect Ferrari’s floor upgrade (spoiler: it might actually work), Max Verstappen’s messy no-pointer (is Mercedes on speed dial?), and why Liam Lawson is quietly making his case for a full-time seat while managing to upstage Yuki from afar.

    Plus, we get weird and nostalgic in our look at the latest Auto Action Premium magazine, featuring:

    • Cam Waters doing Supercars and America

    • Cameron McLeod bossing the Mustang Challenge at Le Mans

    • Max’s meltdown

    • Hesketh’s 50-year reign of chaos

    • Jim Richards’ Falcon moment

    • And why the Tasman Cup was better than your average Grand Prix

    📦 Still 559 points on the table in F1… and still plenty to argue about.

  • Darwin Direction, Ford Frustration & Young Guns Rising

    In this week’s RevLimiter, we’re full throttle into the Darwin weekend—but with one eye on the broader battle brewing across Supercars, F1, and beyond.

    Broc Feeney is on a rampage. Fast, focused, and firmly in the mix for a title run. But does it actually matter right now? We’ve seen red-hot form fizzle out when the pressure ramps up. Broc’s part of a new generation putting the old guard on notice—Kai Allen, still a teenager, just scored his first Supercars podium, and Matt Payne and Ryan Wood are already race winners before they can rent a car overseas. We’re breaking down the rise of the Zoomers and what it means for the sport.

    Meanwhile, the Ford vs Chevy parity debate is back—because of course it is. The Blue Oval camp reckons they’re still 2km/h down in the speed traps, despite the tweaks. And now the whispers are turning into something more—a possible switch from the Gen III to the Gen IV Coyote engine. Officially denied… but unofficially? Let’s just say the story’s not going away. We dig into the politics and the potential.

    Big news too from Targa Tasmania, which has finally been cleared to return post-coroner’s report. Bruce has been on the phone to the top brass at Targa—his full yarn drops in print soon, but this episode gives you the early scoop on what’s changing, why it matters, and how they plan to keep the event alive.

    Over in Europe the chaos continues in Formula 1:

    • Is Fred Vasseur safe at Ferrari? Or is he just the next in a long line of team bosses to find out how sharp Maranello’s knives can be?

    • Flavio Briatore is back—because of course he is. But what exactly is his role? Can a man banned for race fixing really be your performance advisor with a straight face?

    • And over at McLaren, Papaya Rules. The team’s form continues to impress, with Lando and Oscar proving the car’s the real deal. Has McLaren leapfrogged Mercedes for good?

    Plus, a quick wrap of IndyCar, where Alex Palou is back doing boringly brilliant things—and nobody has an answer for it.

    All that and more on The RevLimiter. Get it wherever you get your podcasts. It drops Friday and it’s got more torque than a GT3 warm-up lap.

  • Gorgeous George Shines + Lando’s Collision at Canadian GP. And Ferrari’s Le Mans Three-Peat

    This week’s Rev Limited episode fired on all cylinders—and maybe a few bodily functions too, if Shane van Gisbergen’s gastro in Mexico update is anything to go by. With “Gorgeous George” Russell finally shaking off the nearly-man-of-2025 status and clinching a slick Canadian GP win.

    Of course, you can’t talk Canada without diving into the McLaren mess. Yes, Peter-wits, Lando Norris did hit Oscar Piastri. No amount of diplomatic hand-waving or orange-tinted excuses can change that. And if you're still debating it, the podcast panel has receipts. It's called video replay, look it up. Oh yeah, and Lando admitted it.

    Meanwhile, in France, Ferrari made it three on the trot at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The boys were positively glowing about the Prancing Horse’s endurance credentials.

    There was also a hearty nod to Cameron MacLeod, who swept both Mustang Challenge races at Circuit de la Sarthe. He’s officially on the international radar now, and with whispers that Ford is shipping 25 Mustang Dark Horse Rs to Australia, the panel suspects we’ll be seeing the pony cars thunder into the local scene sooner rather than later. It’s shaping up as a bold new undercard for SRO's SpeedSeries.

    Over in Indy NXT, Lochie Hughes is quietly launching a title campaign with the subtlety of a firecracker in a phone booth. Another win in the books and a sniff of the championship lead, expect us to start talking “what ifs” for a 2026 IndyCar seat.

    And yes, we were treated to some proper Shane Van Gisbergen lore. The man not only dominated NASCAR’s inaugural race in Mexico, but did so while battling a bout of gastro that would’ve had most of us curled up in a foetal position. SVG? He just wiped his visor and kept passing people, and then slapped them in the face with speed.

    Finally, the elephant in the room—or more accurately, the barely-moving grid: Is TCR dead? The vibe? Grim. The fixes? Unclear. The optimism? Not overflowing. Let’s just say if your race series is being spoken about in the same breath as SuperUtes circa 2019, you’ve got a problem.

    All in all, another belter of an episode, equal parts analysis, banter, and the occasional savage truth bomb. Worth the listen. Especially if you're a fan of Ferrari, Ford, fast Aussies, or feuding teammates.

  • Supercars Perth Recap, Young Guns Shine and 'Warbo' Returns

    On this week’s Auto Action RevLimiter, Andrew and Bruce debrief a wild weekend in Perth where the young blood stood tall — Broc Feeney keeps making this Supercars title look like his to lose, while Ryan Wood finally cracked his maiden win of the season with a statement drive.

    We dive into what’s making this new generation so exciting, even as the finals loom to throw a spanner in Feeney’s championship momentum, potentially.

    Also on the table is the return of James Warburton as Supercars CEO — we dissect the reaction, what it means for the sport, and why, despite the noise, Supercars might be in the best shape it's been in years. From gloves-off strategy to elbows-out racing, it’s exactly what fans want.

    Plus, we’ve got a lightning round of motorsport news: the just-released 2026 Formula 1 calendar, key updates from #NASCAR, #MotoGP madness, some Aussie drag racing, and a mini preview of Le Mans as the countdown begins.

    It’s packed, punchy, and pure motorsport. Catch the Auto Action RevLimiter now wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Piastri Perfect, Mad Max Melts Down – And Supercars Goes Global?

    This week on the Auto Action RevLimiter, Andrew and Bruce dive deep into a Spanish Grand Prix that had it all — dominance, drama, and dummy spits.

    Oscar Piastri delivered a clinical performance in Barcelonato take a commanding win and firmly plant himself in the championship conversation. But while the Aussie was calm and collected, Max Verstappen was anything but — throwing a full-blown tantrum over team strategy and setup decisions. We break down the fallout, the radio rants, and whether Red Bull is starting to feel the pressure.

    But it wasn’t just about the front-runners — so who else caught the eye of Andrew and Bruce? There are a few surprise names on their list…

    We also take a quick look at the blockbuster Auto Action Premium exclusive with incoming Supercars CEO James Warburton and RACE chairman Barclay Nettlefold. International expansion, commercial growth, and a possible new global Supercars series? It’s all on the table.

    Plus, we run through the latest news from across the motorsport world — from IndyCar and NASCAR to Supercars Silly Season whispers and everything in between.

  • Monaco Mayhem, Penske Purge and Aussie Breakthrough

    Mel’s crook this week, so Andrew and Bruce are steering the ship on this episode of RevLimiter — and there’s plenty to cover in under an hour.

    First up, it’s the Monaco Grand Prix, where Lando Norris finally conquered the streets of Monte Carlo to take the win and slice Oscar Piastri’s championship lead down to just three points. Bruce has a few spicy suggestions on how to actually fix Monaco as a race, while both ponder how the replacements for Jack Doohan and Liam Lawson are doing their best to prove why they shouldn’t have been picked in the first place.

    Over in the States, the world’s biggest motor race — the Indy 500 — was won by Alex Palou in a thriller. But the victory was almost overshadowed by the Team Penske cheating saga, which has now claimed three big-name scalps inside the operation.

    And in MotoGP, it wasn’t a Marquez on top — it was a wild race no one seemed to want to win, while young Aussie Senna Agius stunned the field with his maiden Moto2 victory.

    All that and more in this week’s Auto Action RevLimiter. Tunein now wherever you get your podcasts.
