Guenther Steiner leads acquisition of Tech3 team

Red Bull KTM Tech3 is poised to enter a transformative new era, as a consortium led by a prominent motorsport figure secures full ownership of the MotoGP outfit—including its Moto3™ operations. This strategic shift will take full effect in 2026, marking a significant milestone in the team’s evolution. Under the new leadership structure, Guenther Steiner will take the helm as CEO, while project partner Richard Coleman steps into the role of Team Principal. Founder and current Team Principal Hervé Poncharal will continue to guide Tech3 through the ongoing season before transitioning into a consultancy role. In this capacity, Poncharal will focus on mentoring emerging talent and sharing his decades of invaluable MotoGP experience. Despite the ownership change, the team will retain its identity as Tech3, continue racing with KTM machinery under existing agreements, and remain headquartered in its long-standing base in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France. Steiner, renowned for his candid leadership as the founding Team Principal of the Haas F1 Team, began his motorsport journey in rally engineering. Over the past four decades, he has held senior positions at Jaguar Racing and Red Bull Racing, building a reputation as one of the sport’s most seasoned figures. Coleman brings over ten years of […]

Casey Stoner Sounds the Alarm Over MotoGP’s Future

Two-time MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner has voiced serious concerns about the direction of grand prix motorcycle racing, warning that the series’ upcoming 2027 regulations may not only fail to improve safety and spectacle—but could actually make the sport more dangerous. A key component of MotoGP’s planned overhaul is the shift to lighter, 850cc machines. But Stoner, speaking at the Austrian Grand Prix, argued that the changes miss the mark. He’s long been critical of the increasing reliance on electronic rider aids, which he believes create a false sense of security and encourage riders to push beyond safe limits. Stoner’s latest critique came as MotoGP unveiled new control software aimed at reducing slides and wheelspin—technology that Dorna, the sport’s commercial rights holder, claims will enhance safety by preventing highside crashes like the one Pecco Bagnaia suffered at the 2023 Catalan GP. But Stoner isn’t convinced. “You can twist the throttle with nearly 300bhp and nothing happens,” he said. “These are the best riders in the world, riding the easiest bikes to ride. That’s not something I’m interested in.” He recalled his own frustrations from 2012, when electronic interference began to erode the raw connection between rider and machine. “I didn’t […]

Andrew Irwin Air Launch to Orbit at Brands Hatch

Andrew Irwin walked away from this massive highside at Brands Hatch during Round 5 of the 2025 British Superbikes Series. In the final race of the weekend at Brands Hatch, Andrew Irwin suffered a huge crash that destroyed his Honda Racing UK machine.“I was a little bit stiff after the crash at Brands Hatch but it was fine,” Irwin said. “I was more annoyed that we were in such a good position after a strong weekend, and a small mistake had such a big price that destroyed the bike.

Van Gisbergen suffers violent Watkins Glen crash while leading

Shane van Gisbergen’s hopes of another NASCAR Xfinity Series win at Watkins Glen were dashed when contact from his JR Motorsports teammate Connor Zilisch sent him into the wall. Van Gisbergen was leading the race with 18 laps to go when Zilisch in the #88 Chevrolet Camaro went around the outside of the #9 at the penultimate turn. Zilisch ran wide and upon returning to the traditional racing line, the left front of his car clipped the right rear of van Gisbergen’s and sent him spinning. The Kubota-backed car made heavy contact with the outside SAFER barrier and ended his day early. “I’m okay. Car’s not,” van Gisbergen radioed. “Not ideal. I’m pretty gutted really,” said van Gisbergen after being released from the infield care centre. “Gutted for the JR Motorsports guys. Our car wasn’t great, but we still managed to get ourselves in a good position. “Looked great. Kubota had some cool guests here. But yeah, pretty average way to end it. “I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll watch it later and work it out, but I don’t know yet.” Prior to the crash, van Gisbergen had been playing defence. The Kiwi had been struggling with an overall lack […]

Beirer Admits KTM “Not at All Satisfied” with Binder’s 2025 Season

Brad Binder returns to the Red Bull Ring hoping the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix can reignite his faltering MotoGP campaign. The South African rider is enduring the toughest season of his premier-class career, and KTM’s motorsport director Pit Beirer has made it clear: the team is “not at all satisfied” with what they’ve seen so far. The Austrian GP holds special significance for Binder. It was here in 2021 that he claimed his second—and most recent—MotoGP victory, gambling on slick tyres in a dramatic late-race downpour. But four years and 78 Grands Prix later, that win remains his last. As the championship resumes after its summer break, Binder finds himself in unfamiliar territory: struggling for form, confidence, and results. Binder has scored just 68 points across the first 12 rounds of 2025—his lowest tally at this stage of any season. Not even his rookie year in 2020, when he sat 12th with 76 points, saw him this far down the standings. His best result this year remains a sixth-place finish at Jerez in April. The arrival of Pedro Acosta to the factory KTM team has only intensified the spotlight. The 21-year-old rookie has already amassed 124 points and delivered KTM’s […]

Van Gisbergen Inks Multi-Year Extension with Trackhouse Racing

Shane van Gisbergen is living out one of motorsport’s most remarkable modern fairytales—trading Supercars for NASCAR and thriving in a way few could have predicted. Following in the footsteps of fellow Aussie legend Marcos Ambrose, the Kiwi has carved out a stunning career on American soil. His NASCAR journey began in electrifying fashion in 2023, when he stunned the racing world by winning on debut in a last-lap thriller on the streets of Chicago, driving Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91 Camaro. In 2024, van Gisbergen made the full-time leap to the U.S., competing in the Xfinity Series and leaving his Supercars legacy behind. By 2025, he had graduated to the Cup Series as a rookie—and wasted no time making history. With victories at Mexico City, Sonoma, and a triumphant return to Chicago, van Gisbergen tied the record for most wins by a rookie in a single season. His rapid rise has prompted Trackhouse Racing to lock in the 36-year-old with a multi-year contract extension. And for van Gisbergen, the feeling is mutual. “Trackhouse Racing feels like home,” he said. “They gave me the chance to race in Chicago back in 2023. That was just a one-off deal, but everything that’s happened […]

Colapinto Escapes Unharmed After Crash During Pirelli Tyre Test

Franco Colapinto walked away unscathed from a crash during Pirelli’s Formula 1 tyre testing at the Hungaroring, where Alpine, McLaren, and Racing Bulls are participating in a two-day programme focused on developing tyres for the 2026 season. Alpine confirmed in a brief statement that Colapinto was “OK” after being evaluated at the circuit’s medical centre following an incident at Turn 11 — a notoriously challenging right-hander. The crash prematurely ended Colapinto’s testing schedule and comes at a turbulent moment in the young Argentine’s F1 journey. Since stepping in for Jack Doohan at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the 22-year-old has struggled to find form. He remains point-less, has crashed twice in qualifying, and has been outqualified by teammate Pierre Gasly in seven of their nine races together. There were glimmers of progress in Hungary, where Colapinto outqualified and finished ahead of Gasly for only the second time since joining the grid. However, this latest setback adds to mounting pressure, especially amid speculation linking Valtteri Bottas to Alpine — with rumours suggesting a mid-season switch could be on the cards. Alpine currently sits at the bottom of the constructors’ standings with just 20 points, trailing ninth-placed Haas by 15.
