It’s the finale of the Pitlane Punters this week. We wrap up the Abu Dhabi GP, and look back at the year that was both personally and on the track. Join Anthony Lewsam, Zac Dowdell, and special message from Joshua Groch for one final time in 2024. We wish all of our listeners a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a safe summer season.

In this penultimate episode of the year, hosts Joshua Groch and Anthony Lewsam explore Cadillac and General Motors' highly anticipated entry into Formula 1, speculating on how this move could shake up the grid. The pair also have fun envisioning their dream lineup for Team Australia's second team at the 2025 Race of Champions, debating which drivers deserve the nod and why. Finally, they break down the closing stages of the 2024 Formula 1 season (and silly season), analysing key moments as the championship approaches its thrilling finale. Join us for bold predictions, creative lineups, and a celebration of the season that was!

We attempt to gather our thoughts after one of the most wild, bizarre, and entertaining Supercars race weekends in a long time at the VAILO Adelaide 500. Though Will Brown claimed the title on Saturday, all bets were off on Sunday, as the streets of Adelaide resembled something more of an automotive all-in street brawl. There were crashes aplenty at the notorious Turn 8, whilst two stars of the future got an early look at their new rides for 2025 in strange circumstances. We also look at friend of the show Zach Bates' incredible weekend in Super2, where he became the fourth member of the family to win a national motorsport championship, and the first on tarmac. Missed anything from the weekend? You can catch up on everything from a crazy, crazy Adelaide weekend on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

A look back at the NASCAR championship weekend in Phoenix, some F1 news, and a complete preview of the VAILO Adelaide 500 - including title deciders for Supercars and Super2 on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

It was quiet week on Australian race circuits, but there's still plenty of news in Supercars. There's big changes coming for Super2, Dick Johnson Racing, and several enduro line-ups for 2025, whilst Zach Bates will get the chance of a lifetime with Triple Eight's wildcard alongside Craig Lowndes in 2025. A wet and wild Brazilian Grand Prix saw Max Verstappen claim a sensational win to all but wrap up his fourth straight world title. Meanwhile Lando Norris' hopes were washed away in a Sao Paulo downpour, amid more McLaren team orders controversy. There was also radio controversy in the NASCAR Cup Series, as Chevrolet and Toyota teams were both found guilty of race manipulation in the Round of 8 finale at Martinsville. All of that overshadowed a brilliant Shane van Gisbergen performance, with the Kiwi claiming his best oval result in the Cup Series. All that and more on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

Will Brown has all but secured his maiden Repco Supercars Championship after the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500. Cam Waters and Brodie Kostecki split the wins, whilst Chaz Mostert's championship charge fell apart through no fault of his own. An exciting season of the Toyota GR Cup also came to a conclusion, with Max Geoghegan putting his famous surname back in the spotlight with a series victory. Geoghegan could also join several of his Toyota rivals in Super2 next year, and we look at how the field could look in next year's Dunlop Series. Carlos Sainz won what could prove to be his final Ferrari victory at a spicy Mexican GP, with Max Verstappen and Lando Norris throwing haymakers, and Liam Lawson throwing a bird at Sergio Perez. And in the NASCAR Cup Series, Tyler Reddick booked his ticket to the Championship 4 with a last-gasp pass on Ryan Blaney in Miami. All that and more on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

The Supercars are already back on track, with Surfers Paradise set to play host to a pivotal chapter in the 2024 season. Will Brown is 204 points ahead of teammate Broc Feeney, however both drivers have less than flattering records on the Gold Coast. Could this be an opportunity for Chaz Mostert to storm back into title contention, or maybe even an unlikely Cam Waters comeback? The boys also react to Mark Winterbottom's announcement that he's out of full-time competition for 2025, and wrap up a busy silly season in week for both Supercars and Super2. All of that plus MotoGP, F1, news on Aussie Porsche ace Matt Campbell's 2025 plans, and a NASCAR wrap on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast.

Brodie Kostecki, Todd Hazelwood, and Erebus Motorsport have put on a Bathurst masterclass to turn around a difficult 2024 season. It was a remarkable Bathurst 1000, as records tumbled in a rapid race on Sunday, after a chaotic build-up that saw crashes galore. Kostecki and Hazelwood became the 65th and 66th drivers to conquer the Mountain in what was a career-defining weekend for both drivers. It was also a wild weekend in the Super2 Series, with a nightmare weekend for Kai Allen flipping the points standings on it's head. Make sure you tune in to this special Bathurst 1000 debrief episode of the Pitlane Punters Podcast.

On this special bonus episode of the Pitlane Punters Podcast, Anthony takes the reigns to talk through arguably the biggest rule change in Australian Touring Car Championship history.This morning Supercars announced that the 2025 champion will be crowned at the end of an all-new Finals Series, inspired by the NASCAR Playoffs.Our inside man, Supercars.com's Zac Dowdell, talks us through all of the changes we can expect to see in 2025, with new formats, new tyres, and a new way to crown a champion.Off the back of the announcement Toyota will be arriving in the sport from 2026, this only adds to the excitement surrounding the sport heading into the next few years.If you wanted to see more about how the Finals Series will work in 2025, check out supercars.com for more details.

Happy Bathurst week race fans! 52 drivers will take to Mount Panorama this weekend, but only two can be crowned 2024's Kings of the Mountain. Josh, Anthony, and Zac look at all 26 cars that will compete in this weekend's 161 lap classic, and pick their smokeys and favourites for the Great Race. There are plenty of stories to tell up and down the pit lane, and it will all culminate with what will no doubt be another Bathurst 1000 to remember. Whether you're in the campgrounds, on the road trip, or on the couch at home, this is the ultimate Pitlane Punters preview!

Daniel Ricciardo is now officially off the Formula One grid, with RB promoting Kiwi Liam Lawson into the seat for a six-race audition for 2025. What does this mean for Daniel, and where will we see him pop up if he does want to continue racing? We also look at a Will Buxton article from 2021, where he looked into the F1 crystal ball and tried to guess the makeup of the 2025 grid, with very interesting names popping up in interesting places. There is also plenty of Supercars news as we build towards the annual pilgrimage to Bathurst for the biggest day in Australian motorsport. Tim Slade has announced this season will be his last as a full-time driver, there are some engine changes and also some Safety Car procedure changes for the 1000. All that and plenty more on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

So, is this the end? Well, not for the Pitlane Punters it isn't, but it seems almost certainly the case for Daniel Ricciardo, with all indications suggesting he won't be on the F1 grid at the next round in America. However, Danny Ric was able to capture one last moment of glory whilst Lando Norris dominated the Singapore GP, and Oscar Piastri claimed another podium. Shane van Gisbergen is set to embark on his first journey in the world of NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs, whilst the first eliminations were made in the Cup Series Playoffs. There is also a bit of news in Supercars world, with some changes made to the board of Supercars as new broadcast rights are set to be negotiated for 2026 and beyond. All that and more on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast!

Yes, it is. 20 years of courtship and rumours are finally put to bed as Toyota announce a game changing Supercars program beginning in 2026. Walkinshaw Andretti United are set to spearhead the campaign as there will be three makes for the first time since 2019, with superstars Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood set to become factory Toyota pilots. The massive announcement just days after Triple Eight dominated the Sandown 500 in a chaotic race. The boys conduct their usual Pitlane Punters debrief; predictions, points, and plenty more. All of the Supercars news, plus a recap of Oscar Piastri's masterful drive at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as he claimed his second F1 Grand Prix win. Plus Australian Rally Championship, NASCAR, and IndyCar on the latest Pitlane Punters Podcast.

The Sandown 500 takes centre stage this weekend as the 2024 Supercars Championship switches into enduro mode. With 600 points on offer over the next two races, and 198 points covering the top three in the championship, it's all to play for at Sandown and the Bathurst 1000. There are new drivers, new liveries, new teams, and the usual Pitlane Punters predictions. All of the Supercars news, plus SpeedSeries, F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and a tribute to a motoring icon on this week's Pitlane Punters Podcast!

Shock driver moves, exciting driver moves, mid-season driver moves; it is all happening in the racing world! The Supercars silly season has gone into absolute overdrive in the past 48 hours, with three moves confirmed between 3pm Tuesday and 3pm Thursday. Formula One couldn't even wait for the end of the season to start their driver moves, it's just been that kind of week... There was some fantastic NASCAR news for Shane van Gisbergen, and an incredible 400 miler at Daytona called by one of Australian sports media's greatest exports. There is so much going on that it would be impossible to fit it all into this description. In fact there was so much that we even completely forgot that there'll be a new Aussie on the F1 grid next year in Jack Doohan. Whoops... Make sure you tighten your seatbelts, and remember to breathe. This could very well be the biggest Pitlane Punters episode yet!

The final sprint round of the 2024 Supercars season featured action aplenty, with plenty of controversy, surprise results, and a tightening championship battle. Nick Percat's remarkable career resurgence continued with his second win of the season, whilst Cam Waters won on Sunday in a tale of two races for Tickford. The boys also look back on their pre-event predictions, with some ageing better than others as usual. There is also plenty to look forward to at home and abroad this weekend, with the NASCAR Cup Series at Daytona set to sound especially Australian. We also welcome Formula Ford star Imogen Radburn back onto the show, who has done some extraordinary things since we last spoke to her, and now quite literally has the world at her feet.

Is NASCAR sport or entertainment? That is the topic of Pitlane Punters discussion this week after Austin Dillon hit everyone but the pace car to controversially win the NASCAR Cup Series' return at Richmond. NOTE: This podcast was recorded before NASCAR sanctioned Dillon, including stripping his Playoff spot. There is also plenty going on closer to home, as the Australian Rally Championship was turned on its head at the Gippsland Rally, where Toyota broke a significant ARC record. Finally we head across the Bass Strait to give the Tasmania SuperSprint our usual preview treatment, as the Supercars are set to go sprint racing one final time in 2024. We're getting excited, because it's crunch time in the world of motorsport...

Whilst the eyes of the world remain fixated on an Aussie gold rush in Paris, the Supercars silly season continues to evolve. Kai Allen is now officially taking Richie Stanaway's seat for 2025 and beyond, and the Pitlane Punters take a deep dive into who else could go where for 2025. The boys have also been thinking about how to get motorsport into the Olympics, and have also been thinking of cryptic clues to leave in the title... There is also plenty of news from around the world of motorsport, and also some racing action to talk about from home and abroad.

The racing circuits of the world are starting to go quiet as all eyes turn to Paris, but that only means silly season takes over as driver markets around the world begin to ramp up. Lewis Hamilton claimed his 105th F1 Grand Prix victory in a highly-competitive Belgian GP, after heartbreak for Mercedes teammate George Russell, and a missed opportunity for Aussie Oscar Piastri. Attention quickly turned to the Red Bull Racing driver merry-go-round, where expected major driver movement didn't eventuate to the surprise of most. There was also a bombshell announcement in the Supercars driver market, with Grove Racing set to field the youngest driver pairing in almost 20 years from 2025. Join Zac and Josh as they try to make sense of a frantic global driver market, and also preview some racing action coming up this weekend, all on the Pitlane Punters Podcast.

It was a momentous weekend for Australian motorsport, as Oscar Piastri claimed his maiden F1 Grand Prix victory in a dramatic Hungarian GP. The Pitlane Punters analyse just how McLaren almost made a 1-2 finish a disaster, and also look at which driver/engineer combination needs to have some relationship counselling in the summer break. Closer to home another of Zak Brown's teams in Walkinshaw Andretti United had a crushing weekend at the Sydney SuperNight, claiming five wins out of five across the Supercars Championship and the Toyota GR Cup. There is also plenty going on Stateside, as IndyCars became skateboards in Toronto, Shane van Gisbergen starred on debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, plus a bit of news for fans of Aston Martin.

The Pitlane Punters are back to talk about everything going on in motorsport at home and abroad, headlined by a new rivalry in Formula One. Max Verstappen and Lando Norris came to blows fighting for victory at the Austrian Grand Prix, whilst for an Aussie superstar it was a missed opportunity at a potential win. Meanwhile, at Spa in Belgium, Ferrari was cruelly denied a win at the Spa 24 Hour, leaving a famous British marque to claim its first victory in three-quarters of a century in the round-the-clock classic. Closer to home there were crashes, cows (yes, cows), and broken victory droughts at Rally Queensland, as Toyota had an uncharacteristically scrappy weekend. Plus we look ahead to all the action at the Townsville 500 this weekend, discuss how many attempts at a green flag finish is too many, and ponder whether reptilians will really take over the world.

Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix, whilst McLaren’s hot form continued off-track with a scary motorhome fire in the paddock.
