Sprintcar title ditches Channel 7 and it’s a silly decision

IT SADDENS me to interrupt your festive season enjoyment with news of more organisational ignorance from within the world of Speedway. Recent news confirmed that some of the powers-that-be behind the upcoming 62nd Australian Sprintcar Championship have knocked back a significant free to air TV opportunity for the upcoming milestone event. Coverage had been planned to air across 7plus for the event at Murray Bridge Speedway on January 30-February 1, with free-to-air highlights coverage on 7mate post the event that will decide the next AUS#1. The coverage would have been produced by the same team who put together the excellent

Aston Martin Vulcan to be demonstrated at Mount Panorama

A PIECE of Aston Martin’s performance and motorsport history will be demonstrated at the 2025 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour. Tony Quinn’s Aston Martin Vulcan – an ultra-low run, track-only Supercar developed by the iconic English brand in 2015 – will be on show at the 2025 event next February, both on and off the track. Launched as something of a tribute to the iconic Le Mans 24 Hour race, only 24 Vulcans were ever made. Powered by an 800hp, 7-litre V12 engine, the car had a top speed of well over 330km/hr. Quinn’s car was purchased in 2016 and is
