Toyota is going Supercars, the news that overshadowed the Sandown 500 and another GP win for Oscar Piastri

It is a news story more than 20 years in the making, but the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world, as opposed to the manufacturer of the largest vehicles in the world, has signed up to go Supercars racing. Toyota joins Australia’s largest motor racing series in 2026 with Walkinshaw Andretti United and one other yet-to-be-identified team for at least five seasons. But what does it really mean? Auto Action’s Bruce Williams was at the launch, and he dissected the meaning of life with Andrew Clarke and Toyota’s unofficial spokesperson, Paul Gover. We talk about Oscar Piastri’s win in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and how he has helped take McLaren back to the top of the F1 pile. But what happened to Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez, and where was Lando Norris and Max Verstappen? Then it is Supercars and the Sandown 478, previously known as the Sandown 500 and Red Bull Ampol Racing domination and a podium to everyone’s favourite team, PremiAir Racing. But what was happening to those Ford engines on the eve of Bathurst? How would they do 1000 km when they can’t even get through a drive day? Plus a little bit of NASCAR and IndyCar… All this and more on the Auto Action RevLimiter. And check out https://autoaction.com.au/ for all the latest updates and dropping news. And apologies for the sound; much of this was recorded on the road.
