What’s happening in motorsport right now?
One hot topic is the crazy cost of a single MotoGP lap – about $200,000. That number shows why the sport relies on big sponsors and why many fans dream of being on the grid.
Drag racing also pops up a lot. It’s a straight‑line sprint, but it still counts as real racing because drivers need perfect timing, power control and a solid setup.
Ever wonder why Bugatti never fields a racing team? The brand focuses on ultra‑luxury road cars, so the money and engineering go into making the ultimate ride instead of a track program.
For everyday drivers, the question “Can I use racing fuel in my car?” gets a quick answer: no. Racing fuel’s high octane can damage a standard engine and cost way more than regular pump fuel.
Motorcycle fans get a neat physics lesson when we explain how racers lean so far without tipping. It’s all about moving the center of gravity and keeping traction, a skill you can see in every tight corner.
How you can get involved and improve your skills
If you think racing is only for pros, think again. Series like Formula Ford and the Skip Barber Racing School welcome beginners. They provide affordable seats, coaching and a safe environment to learn the basics.
Our academy also offers workshops on car setup, tyre management and race‑craft. You’ll walk away with hands‑on tips you can try on a track day or even in a club race.
Want to stay updated on events? We list local track days, test sessions and community meet‑ups so you never miss a chance to get on the track.
Got a dream car you love to drive? We discuss how often owners take their supercars out, what maintenance they need and how to enjoy them responsibly.
All of this content is built for quick reading – each paragraph gives you one clear point you can act on today.
