Engine built for possible F1 2021 entry MOTORSPORT.COM’s Scott Mitchell and Christian Nimmervoll are reporting Porsche has built and tested an engine that would have been Formula 1 compatible and formed the basis of a 2021 entry had it committed to joining the world championship.

AS LONG AS A CERTAIN PART of your anatomy points to the ground, I seriously doubt the Supercars are destined to race around the streets of Perth. Such a plan has been around for as long as I can remember and has hit hurdle after hurdle. A city night race, like this year’s successful sortie at Wanneroo for example, would seem near impossible. And running the event during weekdays even less feasible. Think of the disruption to business, particularly to the judicial system! That’s not to say I wouldn’t be a spectacle. It certainly would. The State Government has just

Dutch F1 Grand Prix 2020

May 15, 2019

With the enormous power Dutch brewing giant Heineken holds in global sport there should be little surprise that Formula 1 is heading home to The Netherlands. After a remarkable absence of 35 years the Dutch Grand Prix returns to the FIA F1 World Championship from 2020, for at least three years. The emergence of the equally remarkable wild child Max Verstappen – the young tearaway who is destined for a world championship – has driven F1’s owners, to follow the orange trail to success. No surprise also that Heineken, a longstanding Global Partner of F1, is Title Sponsor. And It’s

Pirelli’s take on Azerbaijan

April 24, 2019

Baku is the longest and also the fastest street circuit on the Formula 1 calendar, thanks to some lengthy straights that form the majority of the 6.003-kilometre track: the second longest of the year after Spa.  However, while the speeds are high, the track is narrow – and that combination has caused a few incidents in the past.  As was the case at the last round in China, Pirelli brings the C2 as the hard tyre, C3 as the medium tyre, and C4 as the soft tyre: right in the middle of the range. “The main challenge in Baku lies

Albert Park Mystery (cont.)

March 22, 2019

Is this the HOLE that destroyed Dan’s F1 Race? F1 fan KIRK WELLS took these pics of where Daniel Ricciardo came to grief in Melbourne last Sunday. “Made it through Albert Park race track today and took a couple of Photos. There is normally a green timber post in the ground at the point where the front wing obviously sheared off, you can see the hole where it’s located. “I think this is what caused the wing to break, you can also see the wing end plate line through the grass to this point.” Kirk Wells, Melbourne.
