Advertise on podcast: The Auto Action Rev Limiter

This week on The Touring Car Masters Podcast with the Auto Action RevLimiter, Andrew Clarke, Bruce Williams and Touring Car Masters category manager Dean Bryant unpack a fascinating weekend at Symmons Plains. From the successful debut of the new category engine to the crowd-pleasing arrival of the Mazda RX-7, there was plenty to discuss following a busy weekend in Tasmania. The boys break down the biggest stories from the paddock, the standout performers, the return of some familiar names, and why Touring Car Masters continues to grow at a rapid rate. They also look ahead to Townsville, where a 24-car grid is shaping up, including the arrival of New Zealand star Angus Fogg and a host of returning favourites. Plus, we catch up with race winner Steve Johnson. Stevie J explains why he still approaches Touring Car Masters racing with the same mindset he used in Supercars, the preparation that goes into winning races, and why leaving nothing to chance remains the key to success. All that, plenty of laughs, a few Bruce Williams drive-bys, and a look at what's coming next for one of Australia's most entertaining racing categories. That's this week on The Rev Limiter.

Andrew Clarke is still in the United States, but he still took enough time to tell Bruce Williams what it's like to stand at Talladega while 26 cars pile up in front of you. He also visited Texas Motor Speedway, watched Chase Elliott take the win, and sat down with Kyle Larson for a major feature coming in the next issue of Auto Action — including Larson's thoughts on Shane Van Gisbergen's chances of winning on an oval this year. Back home, Bruce has a cracking 10-page interview with Neil Crompton in the new Auto Action magazine. They cover his unceremonious exit from the Supercars broadcast team, his busy life since, his role at BJR, and why the idea of him becoming the next Supercars CEO is more complicated than the rumours suggest. There's also talk of Van Gisbergen's triple-race weekend at Watkins Glen – all three races this weekend across the Cup, O'Rielly's and Craftsman Truck series – the state of play under Supercars interim CEO Barclay Nettefold, Roland Dane's public commentary on the sport, and whether Wollongong will ever actually host a Supercars round. Plus, Andrew's book The Immortals of NASCAR is selling out of Barnes & Noble stores across the US, so there's a bit of that, too. The new issue of Auto Action is out now.

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.

Andrew Clarke and Bruce Williams call in live from Christchurch after a big opening day at the ITM Super 440, and there is plenty to get through. Kyle Allen delivered a maiden Supercars win for Grove Racing with a gutsy two-tyre strategy that held off a hard-charging Brodie Kostecki, while Matt Payne had earlier taken pole for the team. Andrew and Bruce discuss what the result says about Grove's willingness to back themselves — and whether Kyle Allen is ready to step up if Payne departs. The parity debate dominates the first half. The Camaro teams ran with revised rear wing and front splitter settings following the Supercars Commission adjustment, but was it a technical correction or a sporting one? Andrew and Bruce go back and forth on whether the changes were merited, and whether Barry Ryan's admission that GM has no A-grade drivers undermines the case for the adjustment entirely. Also on the agenda: the safety car that wasn't — a chaotic first-lap incident that multiple drivers said could have been catastrophic; Red Bull's difficult day with Will Brown losing time to an undertray issue and Brock Feeney fading through the field; Toyota's Ryan Wood on the podium again; and why nobody should be surprised the GR Supras keep winning. Plus, first impressions of Ruapuna — a flat track the drivers are enjoying, a massive crowd for a Friday, and a city that has well and truly embraced Supercars.

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.

We were gearing up to break down the Japanese GP… then Supercars went and blew up the agenda. James Warburton is gone—less than 12 months into his return—and chairman Barclay Nettlefold is stepping into the hot seat. Sudden? Yes. Surprising? Not entirely. On this week’s Auto Action Rev Limiter, Andrew Clarke and Bruce Williams unpack: 🔥 The tension that’s been brewing behind the scenes 🔥 The TV shake-up that lit the fuse 🔥 Who’s been pulling the strings (and who just got outplayed) 🔥 What Nettlefold’s takeover actually means for the future of Supercars It’s blunt, it’s unfiltered, and it’s everything the paddock’s been whispering—now said out loud. 🎧 Listen now and get ahead of the noise. Because in Supercars right now, it’s not just racing… it’s politics at 300km/h.

Formula 1 has a shiny new rulebook and already looks like it’s misplaced half the instructions. In episode two of The Rev Limiter, Andrew Clarke and Bruce Williams get stuck into a season that’s barely started and already throwing up red flags, most notably McLaren failing the basic brief of actually making the grid. Kimi Antonelli wins and the hype machine fires up, but let’s not pretend history hasn’t seen this movie before, young driver, fast car, big noise. The real question is what happens next. Then there’s China. Packed grandstands, booming interest, and not a hint of Drive to Survive in sight. So if Netflix isn’t the hero of this story, what is? Money, manufacturers, or just the sheer scale of the place? Closer to home, GM is circling in Supercars, picking off talent and quietly trying to rebuild what it lost. Not everyone’s thrilled, and not everyone’s playing the same game. It’s blunt, it wanders, it occasionally goes off the rails, but underneath it all, there’s a proper look at where the sport actually sits right now, not where it says it does.

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.

Chaz Mostert finally drags Walkinshaw Andretti United back to the summit, delivering the title they’ve chased for years — and doing it with the kind of swagger that only Chaz can pull off. Airborne Mustangs, Optus blue flying, WAU celebrating like they’ve won the lottery… because they basically have. Meanwhile, on the other side of the motorsport universe, McLaren have found yet another creative way to torpedo a perfectly good result. Yes, again. Yes, in that way. Yes, we go there. In this week’s RevLimiter we unpack: 🚀 How Mostert turned WAU into title winners 🏆 The decisive moments that sealed the championship 🔥 The heartbreak and the humour 🍊 In F1, Why McLaren keep inventing new ways to throw away points 📉 Whether this latest blunder finally costs them everything It’s peak motorsport chaos: one team climbing the mountain while another forgets where the summit is.

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.

We only hit record when there’s something worth saying, and this week we’ve got a full hour of it. Bruce has the unemployment office on speed-dial: co-drivers who’ve stayed a season too long, main-game names living off past glory, and a couple of “can’t-miss” prospects who somehow keep missing. No sacred cows, just fresh steaks. We rip into Bathurst’s fallout with parity bunfights, TRC theatre, and a twilight finish that felt weird even by Mount Panorama standards... plus the kids who stole the show while Dunlop’s wets basically saved it. Then it’s Papaya Rules: what McLaren’s team orders mean for Oscar vs Lando, and whether the championship maths now lives in the garage as much as on track. And keep your toes out of the water, Max the Shark is coming. If Red Bull smell blood over the final run, this title fight gets feral fast. And yes, the Great Dane is back, Lord Vader with a headset. Roland on the pit wall means pit-lane politics just got spicy, and a few comfy seats aren’t so comfy anymore. One hour. No fluff. Sharp takes, hard truths, and a few laughs at our own expense. Search “Auto Action RevLimiter” and press play. Music by:bensound.com Artist: Dollshade License code:JMWGOIMLZNKZYGBR

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.com Artist:Dollshade Licensecode:JMWGOIMLZNKZYGBR

We’re back after a short pit stop — almost the same crew, slightly tweaked format, and still as straight-shooting as ever. This week, we pull apart Supercars’ return to Queensland Raceway, where Broc Feeney decided to dominate for fun… and even jumped the start to keep himself entertained. We’ll cover who else shone, who got lucky under Safety Car, and how a monster crowd also meant a monster queue to get out. We also reflect on the life and legacy of the late John Sheppard, discuss Shane van Gisbergen’s NASCAR hot streak, and the rough day for Connor Zilisch, who punted SVG to win an Xfinity race, fell off his own car i his victory celebration, and left with a broken collarbone. SVG would never do that, he just falls off mountain bikes. All that, plenty of opinions, and maybe a little mischief. So strap in — The RevLimiter is back. PLUS, we have discounts galore.

No news. No tight bit. Just pure, unfiltered Loose. We’re jumping straight into the thick of it with a bumper chat about the Austrian Grand Prix, and the revival of Papaya Power. McLaren’s McMiracle nearly came undone, but Oscar and Lando showed why they’re the sharpest pair on the grid right now, mistakes and all. We’ll dissect Ferrari’s floor upgrade (spoiler: it might actually work), Max Verstappen’s messy no-pointer (is Mercedes on speed dial?), and why Liam Lawson is quietly making his case for a full-time seat while managing to upstage Yuki from afar. Plus, we get weird and nostalgic in our look at the latest Auto Action Premium magazine, featuring: Cam Waters doing Supercars and America Cameron McLeod bossing the Mustang Challenge at Le Mans Max’s meltdown Hesketh’s 50-year reign of chaos Jim Richards’ Falcon moment And why the Tasman Cup was better than your average Grand Prix 📦 Still 559 points on the table in F1… and still plenty to argue about. 🎧 Tune in, hit subscribe, and remember:Use AAREVL25 for a 25% discount on car parts at acdelcopartsdirect.com.au.And if you want a proper Sim setup, PAGNIANCOMMERCIAL gets you 10% off at pagnianimports.com.au.
