I'm sad to hear that Australian MotoGP viewer's no longer get our (MotoGP.com) coverage. We (Dorna commentary team) absolutely love the welcome we get at Phillip Island each year.

Top 9 finishers all Chevrolets, only other time 9 cars from one manufacturer finished in the first 9 places was 1979 Calder (Torana A9X 1st through 9th)

This is what would save F1 200kg cut and smaller cars It’s been obvious for years, but even Ross wouldn’t or couldn’t fix
Good illustration…. 193 kilos lighter too!!

A few weeks ago, I did a design study for motorsport.com, creating a 2023 F1 car using 2003 dimensions. It's 1 metre shorter. That alternative F1 features the halo and all those safety elements we enjoy in 2023. And it could still fit an hybrid power unit.

Seeing the best Sportscar drivers in the world binning $2million cars in a straight line is not entertainment. It’s ridiculous. Banning tyres warmers to ‘save the planet’ was clearly the wrong move. Saves a can of diesel each weekend, but writes off multiple cars 🤯

Imagine having a state premier who actually goes and makes shit happen for their state, rather than just trash talking on others like those in the East tend to do... Imagine how good politics would be if there was less talking, more doing like this. Well done SA.
And with the sound of the final siren of the first ever @AFL Gather Round - I want to say thank you. To everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the Gather Round the success it was - thank you. To all our interstate and international visitors who came and supported our regions and businesses - thank you. To the hospitality and tourism sectors who gave our visitors an experience they’ll never forget - thank you. Last - but definitely not least - thank you South Australia. You completely exceeded all expectations. You showed up and told our story while the nation’s eyes were on us. And we showed just how much we’ve progressed as a state. There is no place like South Australia - that’s because of all of you and the pride you have for South Australia. So thank you. Let’s bring on the 2024 AFL Gather Round.

This will be exciting on a few levels!! 👀 @olivergavin can you come too 🙋🏽‍♂️
Wow, this is a wild card signing but could be brilliant by Penrite Racing. Plentiful B12hr experience, superstar fast and enduro savvy. Really like this. #RepcoSC
