The RevLimiter heads across the Tasman—and straight into one of the most fascinating Supercars double-headers in years.From Taupō to Christchurch, the racing delivered… even if the drivers didn’t always agree on how to do it. Old-school crowds, sold-out circuits, and a new-generation storyline starting to take shape.Toyota breaks through with a win. Grove Racing looks like the team to beat. And in the background, the Matt Payne tug-of-war is getting very real—with GM circling hard and Grove digging in.There’s chaos too—wheel failures, radiator carnage, first-lap pile-ups—and a growing question: are Supercars drivers racing hard enough, or just whinging when it gets tough?Plus:Winners and losers from New ZealandThe Chaz Mostert vs Brodie Kostecki flashpointWhy parity is still the sport’s most political weaponAnd what it all means heading to Symmons PlainsIt’s sharp, it’s opinionated, and it doesn’t sit on the fence.All this and more on the latest episode of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AutoActionRevLimiter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Cyclone chaos, a reshaped Supercars weekend — and a driver market move that could shake the whole grid.This week on the Auto Action RevLimiter, we break down the Taupō round that never quite was, as wild weather forces a rethink and turns Saturday into the main event. From Ryan Wood’s breakthrough win for Toyota to the growing noise around parity and performance, there’s plenty bubbling under the surface.But that’s just the start.We dive deep into the Matt Payne story — GM’s quiet but aggressive push, what it means for Cadillac’s future, and why this is more than just another contract rumour.Plus, exclusive chats with Neil Crompton and Barclay Nettlefold, giving rare insight into the decision-making, the direction of the sport, and what comes next.It’s part race review, part industry shake-up — and all heading toward a Supercars season that’s about to get very interesting.🎧 Listen now.

Yes, yes… calm down.We know.The messages, the emails, the random people at the Grand Prix grabbing us by the sleeve asking “Where the hell is the podcast?” — apparently the RevLimiter disappearing act had people more concerned than a Ferrari strategy call.So after a bit of a layoff (caused mostly by too much racing, too much work, and not enough coffee), Bruce Williams and Andrew Clarke are back behind the microphones.And naturally it goes off the rails almost immediately.In this episode we dive head-first into the new Formula 1 rules, which currently seem to involve equal parts battery management, computer science and sheer confusion. Even the drivers don’t look entirely sure what the cars are doing — which makes for entertaining viewing.We also tackle:The Australian Grand Prix circus — bigger, shinier and possibly running out of toilets.Oscar Piastri’s unfortunate meeting with the wall and whether the technology deserves a share of the blame.The MotoGP raid on Melbourne, with Adelaide happily running off with the spoils.Why Mercedes might already have the jump on everyone in the new F1 era.Supercars chaos, Toyota suddenly being competitive and Chevrolet having a bit of homework to do.And the usual assortment of tangents, arguments and Bruce wandering off into completely unrelated territory.There’s also a quick nod to the Phillip Island Classic, some historic racing nostalgia, and a few industry whispers thrown in for good measure.In other words: the same slightly unhinged motorsport chat you were apparently missing.So if you were one of the people asking where the podcast went — congratulations.You’ve got your wish.Just don’t complain if Bruce starts ranting again.

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.All this and more on the latest episode of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AutoAction RevLimiter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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. #F1 #Supercars #NASCAR #IMSA #WEC#hypercar #LandoNorris#OscarPiastri #SVG Musicby:bensound.comArtist:DollshadeLicensecode:JMWGOIMLZNKZYGBR

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.PLUS, we have discounts galore.

🎙️ Podcast Preview: Auto Action Rev Limiter – Easter Edition This week on Auto Action Rev Limiter, we kick off with a bang—and that bang is Oscar Piastri rocketing to the top of the Formula 1 world championship standings after a clinical third win of the season in Saudi Arabia. The McLaren-Mercedes star used a clever undercut, a cool head, and a slice of Verstappen’s penalty to pull off a Grand Prix masterclass. Not bad for a kid once accused of being "too quiet"—he’s making plenty of noise now.Bruce Williams and Melinda Price join Andrew Clarke for a high-octane wrap of the long weekend that had it all: chocolate, controversy, and championship leads changing hands.We also slide sideways into the clay chaos of the Easter Sprintcar Trail, where Jamie Veal reminded everyone why he’s a dirt-track don, and we climb the mountain with the Bathurst 6 Hour's wildest comeback since The Beatles got back together—Cameron Crick and Dean Campbell from 66th to 1st!From Saudi Arabia to Mount Panorama, from Easter Speedway warfare to Ferrari’s flag-waving win at the WEC 6 Hours of Imola—it’s been a motorsport feast, and we’re serving it hot.Plus:Trans Am’s big ownership shake-upPiastri vs Verstappen: Did the penalty really change the race?A McLaren resurgence?

This week we had to work hard for Supercar News, but we found some. It was easier in Speedway with the Easter Trail and the new speedway opening at Eastern Creek. Liberty Media has bought MotoGP, there was the Bathurst 6-Hour, the World Rally Championship in Kenya and, of course, a NASCAR wrap-up with drivers throwing broken bumpers at rivals. We talk about why Formula E is boring and irrelevant, and then ramble our way through the latest F1 news... where should Carlos Sainz go?
