THE Australian Grand Prix has drawn an enormous audience on Network 10, the free-to-air broadcaster reports. A combination of factors, including the remarkable Oscar Piastri effect taking hold of Australian sports fans, ensured the epic race will have been seen by more Aussie's this year than any other in most of the last decade. More than 1.7 million people watched the dramatic race on Sunday, with the national audience up more than 30% year on year. It's the most watched Australian Grand Prix on the network since 2016 and made the race the most-viewed sport on TV in Australia on

I RECKON something pretty special happened last night at Accor Stadium in Sydney. An engaged crowd, sitting in the comfort of a stadium with all the accompanying benefits that come with, watching motorsport and passionately cheering for their favourite drivers - in this case, the Aussie teams as they took on the world's best in the Race of Champions Nations Cup. For someone that spends most of their life locked away in a commentary box at massive, spread out circuit racing facilities where unless it's Adelaide or Bathurst atmosphere can be hard to find, it was something of a culture

TODAY, a pair of Supercars drivers will line up on the front row of the grid for New Zealand's most prestigious and historic race. They will be joined on the grid by a young-gun from England who will certainly be behind the wheel of a Formula One car later this year and a host of other young drivers all looking for much of the same thing down the road. Such is the makeup of today's 69th New Zealand Grand Prix, to be held at the Highlands Motorsport Park circuit in the breathtaking Central Otago region of New Zealand's South Island.

MUCH has been made of the delights in and around Highlands Motorsport Park, near Cromwell, on New Zealand’s ridiculously stunning South Island. From the iconic ‘Loo with a View’ – which is a riot - to the track itself, the place is a wonderland for kids and adults alike. There’s also a large nod to New Zealand’s remarkable racing heritage with the outstanding National Motorsport Museum, which overlooks the entire circuit from a hill adjacent to the final corners of the circuit. It’s a wide-ranging collection of road and race vehicles that rather nicely surmises the entire place: bright, colourful,
