Josef Newgarden’s IndyCar Flips During Scary Crash 2025

Josef Newgarden and Louis Foster make heavy contact in a massive incident during the IndyCar Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway 2025. It was something of a miracle that neither driver suffered so much as a scratch.

Peter Hickman TT Crash blamed on component failure

Peter Hickman has confirmed that a “component failure” was responsible for the high-speed qualifying crash that ruled him out of this year’s Isle of Man TT. The 14-time TT winner sustained multiple injuries in a 140mph accident from his 8TEN Racing BMW at Kerrowmoar, during the opening lap of the third Superbike and Superstock qualifying session. Hickman suffered broken ribs, vertebrae, a collarbone and a fractured scapula in the incident, which occurred just after the Kerrowmoar left-hand turn. Initial speculation suggested a fairing failure or oil on the track. However, Hickman has revealed that contact between the exhaust and rear tyre caused the accident – the result of a failed exhaust mounting bracket. In a video posted to Instagram, Hickman said: “Sorry it’s taken me a while to give you a little update on my condition, but here it is! It’s been two and a half weeks since I had quite a fast crash at the Isle of Man TT 2025. “Condition wise, I’m not too bad. I’ve got quite a lot of broken bones. I’ve broken my left collarbone, my left scapula and my shoulder blade down the back is in three pieces. I broke three ribs and four vertebrae in my […]

Kiwi van Gisbergen wins inaugural Mexico NASCAR race

Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen has mastered the Mexico City road course to score his first NASCAR Cup Series win this season and set up a shot at championship glory. The New Zealander led 60 of 100 laps on Sunday at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez to earn his first cup victory since his NASCAR debut at the inaugural 2023 street course race in Chicago. The former Australian V8 Supercars champion started the race ranked 33rd in the cup standings with only one top-10 finish through the first 15 races. But his victory in Mexico City earned him an automatic berth into NASCAR’s playoffs with a shot to race for the Cup Series championship. Van Gisbergen arrived in Mexico City early Friday morning but was still awaiting many crew members who had been delayed by flights. Then he got sick late Saturday and was sleeping on the floor of his hauler before Sunday’s race. “I felt pretty rubbish today, that wasn’t fun,” he said. “Our car was amazing. That last stint, man, what a pleasure just ripping lap after lap and watching them get smaller in the mirror. Unreal.” He won pole and started the race as favourite, particularly since rain was in […]

Shane van Gisbergen soars to Busch Light Pole in Mexico City

Shane van Gisbergen claimed his first Busch Light Pole position of the season Saturday afternoon at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and will lead the field to green in the inaugural Viva Mexico 250 Sunday in Mexico City. Smiling and referring to road courses as his “natural habitat,” van Gisbergen was quite satisfied with his work in the No. 88 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet — especially considering the unknown of a first-time race at the venue. Inaugural races have been a plus on his resume. He made NASCAR history in 2023, famously winning the Chicago Street Race in his very first series start. “It was a great session for us, we kind of lacked in a lot of areas yesterday [in practice] with our car getting the balance we wanted and went through a lot of challenges last night — a couple I thought were maybe too much — and started my lap and the car felt magic right from the start,” van Gisbergen said. The pole position and positive start of the weekend could prove especially important as van Gisbergen is ranked 33rd in the championship standings, essentially needing a race victory to earn a position in the 16-driver NASCAR Cup Series […]

Why Alpine F1 driver change is failing so far

When Alpine’s controversial early Formula 1 driver change happened barely a month ago, Alpine boss Flavio Briatore asked only three things of Franco Colapinto: “he needs to be fast, not crash, and score points”. Alpine only gave its rookie Jack Doohan six grands prix before bringing Colapinto in the expectation he would be a clear upgrade. But in three races since replacing Doohan, Colapinto is 0 for 3 in meeting Briatore’s demands – and this move is really not working out as planned. Like his predecessor, Colapinto hasn’t scored a point so far, although he’s had half the number of races Doohan did. He’s shunted out of qualifying at Imola, spent a tricky first F1 weekend in Monaco off the pace, then looked slow again in Spain at the outset. It seemed like a much-need improvement was on the cards in qualifying – only for Colapinto to miss his final Q1 run with a technical problem that he might have accidentally caused himself. Unfortunately, Barcelona was irreversibly compromised by that qualifying problem, and Colapinto was consigned to a third race in a row spent stuck near the back of the field. Despite Briatore’s subsequent claims to the contrary, Alpine said […]

Isle of Man Senior TT Cancelled

Isle of Man TT race organisers have made the difficult call to cancel the highlight of this year’s event, the Senior TT. But given deteriorating conditions around the 37.73-mile circuit, it’s hard to see the decision as anything other than exactly the right call to conclude what has up until this point been one of the safest TT fortnights in history. The race was originally set to get underway at 1045 on Saturday morning for six laps, before heavy overnight rain and morning showers first pushed the start time back to 1245 and then 1445, before organisers eventually announced that a four-lap race would go at 1900. Riders completed a course inspection lap beforehand, though, and initial feedback was mixed to say the least, with some immediately pulling off the grid and announcing that they wouldn’t race even if it went ahead. At that point, clerk of course Gary Thompson pulled the entire starting grid into a riders only meeting to gauge feedback before making the difficult announcement to cancel the Senior TT for only the second time in history. “After consultation with competitors,” he announced on the paddock PA system, “the feeling is that it is unsuitable for racing […]

Dunlop continues Supersport dominance with 32nd TT win

Michael Dunlop continued his dominance of the Supersport category at the Isle of Man TT by taking victory in Wednesday’s delayed race two in the class for his third win of the week. The success in the four-lapper took the Northern Ireland rider’s overall tally of career wins at the event to an all-time record-extending 32. Dunlop finished 26.1 seconds ahead of Dean Harrison, with Davey Todd a further 15.8 seconds adrift in third. The 36-year-old has now won 15 Supersport TT races, including the past eight in a row, courtesy of four consecutive doubles between 2022 and 2025. The county Antrim rider had given Italian marque Ducati their first TT win for 30 years when he was first in Monday’s opening Supersport outing, a triumph which was also notable for being the seventh different manufacturer on which Dunlop had achieved success over the 37.73-mile Mountain Course. “The wee bike [Ducati Panigale V2] is mint and it never missed a beat,” a delighted Dunlop told Radio TT after the race. “We buy our own bikes and choose our own manufacturers and winning races is what I’m here to do so I’m happy. To be in the 30s bracket is great. “It’s nice […]

Harrison ends Isle of Man TT win drought

Honda Racing rider Dean Harrison is no longer the bridesmaid at the 2025 Isle of Man TT after backing up third and second in the opening two races of this year’s event with a stunning victory over Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop in the shortened two-lap opening superstock race of this year’s event. It was Todd, not usual early charger Harrison, who led to the first timing point at Glen Helen on the opening lap of the race and looked to be in control of the race across the first lap – but as they crossed Glencrutchery Road his small two-second gap from across the Mountain had dropped to only 0.4s. And by the time they got to Glen Helen for the second time round, it was Harrison who was into the lead by a slender margin – a gap that he was then just able to extend and extend out to the chequered flag, where he took his fourth win and first since 2019, and Honda Racing’s first since John McGuinness won the Senior TT for it in 2015. Harrison went into race week as perhaps more of a favourite for race wins than he has in recent seasons, […]

Todd holds off charging Dunlop to take Superbike TT win

Davey Todd held off a sustained charge from Michael Dunlop to take a start-to-finish victory in a thrilling Isle of Man TT Superbike race, which was reduced from six laps to four. The 29-year-old had an advantage of just 1.2 seconds over Dunlop by the end of the race, with the fastest lap of the race of 135.327mph on his final circuit helping the 8TEN Racing BMW rider secure the win. For Todd, it is the third TT win of his career, the Yorkshireman having won the Superstock and Senior races at the event in 2024. The two-time British Superstock 1000cc champion built up a 7.9-second lead after lap one and his advantage after the second lap was just marginally less at 7.1 seconds. However, Todd lost six seconds to his rival in the pits and the gap was reduced to 0.2 seconds after the riders went through Glen Helen on the final lap but the eventual victor rallied to secure the success, with Honda Racing’s Dean Harrison a further 43.5 seconds behind in third. “I’m over the moon, this feels sweet. The boys have done a fantastic job,” Todd told Radio TT after the race. “I was more nervous […]

Hickman injured in Isle of Man TT qualifying crash

Fourteen-time Isle of Man TT winner Peter Hickman has been injured in a crash during Friday night’s practice for the race. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider was reported by the TT organisers to be ‘conscious and stable’ following a fall at Kerrowmoar that brought out red flags during the second session of the day. Honda Racing rider Dean Harrison led the practice session away, with Hickman second on his superstock machine. He crashed at Kerrowmoar, a fast left hand corner directly after Ginger Hall, where he fell in last year’s Senior TT while leading the race. He was transported by air ambulance (a standard procedure at the TT) to Noble’s hospital on the Isle of Man, where organisers described his condition as conscious and stable. Hickman’s BMW was smoking slightly when he left the start line on Glencrutchery Road, and initial reports suggest that it continued to emit smoke as he lapped, and his lower fairing looked visibly loose on the TT’s live TV coverage, although it’s unknown at this time if that was a contributing factor to his fall. The fall brought out the red flags in the session immediately, with riders stopped on track before being escorted back […]
