A three-way title fight going all the way down to the wire, with the advantage swinging back and forth between very different protagonists as the end of one period of domination nears its end. That’s both the story of the first Formula 1 world championship, explored by Paul Fearnley in our 70th anniversary piece on page 32, and the hope we all have for the storyline of 2020. As Alex Kalinauckas outlines on p18, there have probably not been more reasons to expect a challenge to Mercedes since the start of the current turbo-hybrid-engine era in 2014. Ferrari and Red Bull have both been candid about their failings, and the rules stability should allow them to address those without other distractions – at least until work on the long-awaited 2021…

GT WORLD CHALLENGE EUROPE The sportscar team in which Jenson Button is a partner is switching from one manufacturer for which he raced in Formula 1 to another. Jenson Team Rocket RJN will field a McLaren 720S GT3 this year rather than last year’s Honda NSX GT3 Evo. The team will remain in what is now called the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, again with a solo entry. It has yet to put together its driver line-up, but is aiming to stay in the Silver Cup class or run in the pro-am ranks of the five-round series that incorporates the Spa 24 Hours. Bob Neville, who runs the RJN team that ended a long-term relationship with Nissan at the end of 2018, said: “We weren’t really in a position…

FORMULA 3 David Schumacher, son of multiple grand prix winner Ralf, nephew of seven-time world champion Michael and cousin of Formula 2 racer Mick, will contest the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Charouz Racing System. Schumacher, fourth in last year’s Formula Regional European Championship, stepped up to FIA F3 for last year’s season finale and the Macau Grand Prix (right). He contested Macau with Charouz in its former guise of Sauber Junior Team. Charouz confirmed all three of its F3 team last week. Brazilian Igor Fraga, third in last year’s FRegional standings and currently runner-up in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand, is on board. So is ex-Red Bull Junior Niko Kari. This will be the Finn’s fifth season at this level, with 10th in the 2016 F3 European…

FRONT WING Out of all of the VF-20’s unmistakeable similarities with the 2019 Ferrari SF90, the front wing is the most prominent. Last year’s issues, in which Haas struggled to keep its tyres within the right working window to maintain a strong race pace, appeared to stem from the disconnect between the front wing and the rest of the car. With that in mind, Haas put a Ferrari-style wing concept through its paces in the practice sessions towards the end of last year, seeking to refine the airflow paths and boost the performance of the components downstream. It clearly had some impact, as it returns in the launch-spec car. The Ferrari-inspired details continue into the endplates, and the small cut-out at the trailing edge helps to improve the outwash capability…

Where next for Formula 1 engines? I foresee very nervy times ahead for Formula 1 engine specs. Despite the astonishing efficiency of the current turbo-hybrid engines, they may become irrelevant as I believe hybrid road cars will change from being lumped with EVs to being chucked in with petrol/diesel and therefore banned in many countries around 2030. The climate change/environmental urgency is ramping up and things will start to change at an extraordinary rate. As an F1 ‘petrolhead’ and a greenie/EV fan, I’m now bewildered as to where F1 goes. There is a fork in the road not far away – all-electric F1 (FE Max?!) or petrol… I see the political/social dangers of staying petrol, but if F1 goes carbon neutral for all freight and support vehicles/equipment/factories, and the spectators…

After seven titles in 18 years at the top level, Jimmie Johnson starts his last full-time NASCAR Cup campaign at Daytona this weekend. It hasn’t all gone to plan over the past two seasons, where the now-44-year-old has gone winless. But he is hell-bent, convinced that a record-breaking eighth title is on the table this year, however unlikely that may sound. Stadium Trophy Truck driver-turned-NASCAR dominator Johnson burst onto the scene full-time in 2002 and just a year later he finished second in the Cup standings, hailed as the young challenger to threaten superstar Jeff Gordon. Gordon himself helped Rick Hendrick set up the #48 team to launch Johnson to stardom, perhaps creating a beast he couldn’t tame in the win-thirsty youngster, who has so far amassed 83 victories –…

This year’s isn’t the strongest rookie class in NASCAR Cup history, but one driver graduating to the big time magna cum laude is Tyler Reddick, the winner of the past two titles in the second-tier Xfinity Series. The 24-year-old from Corning, California will be one to watch from the get-go at this weekend’s Daytona 500, having won at the track in the Xfinity and Truck Series championships on his slightly meandering path, where a switch to the famed Richard Childress Racing for 2019 realigned his route to stock car racing’s highest level. Reddick is likened to Kyle Larson for his ability to move around the race track, find different lines and, crucially, make his car work high or low on the circuit. And the signs are good for an immediate…

It’s a tale that involves a snake, laundry bags stuffed full of Belgian francs, a Porsche deliberately set on fire in downtown Brussels and attempts to get hold of a bazooka. Yet the most remarkable thing about the Onyx squad’s maiden season of Formula 1 in 1989 was the success it enjoyed with a car that hadn’t turned a proper lap prior to the first grand prix. Imagine a team stepping up from Formula 2 today and making it onto the podium in year one after building up its machinery in the pits in Melbourne. That’s what Onyx did just over 30 years ago after making the move from Formula 3000. Its Cosworth DFV-engined ORE-1s were barely finished when they briefly took to the track at the Brazilian Grand Prix…

BUSCH CLASH DAYTONA (USA) 9 FEBRUARY The Daytona Speedweeks kicked off with a chaotic Busch Clash, eventually won by Toyota Camry driver Erik Jones. The Joe Gibbs Racing pilot was one of only six drivers to finish the non-points race, which unofficially marks the start of the 2020 NASCAR Cup season, after four multi-car accidents caused stoppages and extended the race by 13 laps. The first incident came just 10 laps before the scheduled chequered flag, when then race leaders Joey Logano and Kyle Busch collided. Long-time leader Brad Keselowski was caught up in the incident, as was last year’s race winner Jimmie Johnson. As the field prepared to go racing again, Ryan Newman and Wiliam Byron triggered a pile-up when they moved down from the outside line. All but…

CLUBMANS/FERRARI CHALLENGE The Clubmans Sports Prototype Championship has received a surge in registrations for 2020, following the Clubmans Register’s decision to promote the series itself and run in partnership with MotorSport Vision Racing. A total of 42 drivers have already registered to compete this year as the category has benefited from six new and six returning drivers signing up. The Register decided to end a 50-year partnership with the British Automobile Racing Club for 2020 in a bid to boost interest in the championship and take advantage of what it thought was a more attractive calendar offered by MSVR. “We’re up to 42 registrations now so that’s far more than what I was ever hoping for,” said Clubmans Register vice-chairman Peter Richings. “We’ve got a lot of new drivers and…

It’s not a new argument. For over 40 years, Autosport has regularly raised concerns about the amount of club motorsport in the UK. There are too many poorly supported race meetings; too many events spreading competitors, marshals, officials and spectators too thinly and diluting the limited pool of people interested in grassroots motorsport. And this in turn can lead to a further downward spiral. But, for this new decade, there has been a new approach. The number of club race meetings in England and Wales is set to reduce for 2020. An analysis of the provisional calendar reveals there will be 19 fewer days of club racing action this season compared to last year, and there will be 18 fewer individual meetings. Now, that doesn’t sound like a huge amount…

FORMULA 2 The FIA has released a summary of its findings into Anthoine Hubert’s fatal accident during the Formula 2 round at Spa last August, but it has faced criticism from Juan Manuel Correa – who sustained serious injuries in the same incident – for raising “more questions than it provides answers”. Renault Formula 1 junior Hubert died at the age of 22 as a result of injuries sustained in the accident on the second lap of the Belgian Grand Prix-supporting F2 feature race, which also involved Correa, Giuliano Alesi and Ralph Boschung. Correa was left with life-threatening injuries and placed in an induced coma for more than two weeks after suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He later underwent a 17-hour surgery in October to address injuries on his…

INDYCAR SERIES Ex-Sauber Formula 1 racer Felipe Nasr and McLaren test-and-development driver Sergio Sette Camara will share a Carlin car in this year’s IndyCar Series. Following two years with Sauber in 2015-16, Nasr headed to the IMSA SportsCar Championship in North America, winning the 2018 title. He tested an Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports IndyCar at Mid-Ohio last July. Nasr has a great history with Carlin, winning the 2011 British Formula 3 Championship and claiming third in the 2014 GP2 Series with the team. Formula 2 ace Sette Camara (above), 21, was on Dale Coyne Racing’s shortlist of potential replacements for Sebastien Bourdais for 2020, a ride that eventually went to Alex Palou. He visited a number of IndyCar factories at the same time as he was linked to a Hitech…

SUPER FORMULA/SUPER GT Reigning Super Formula champion Nick Cassidy is not on the series’ entry list to bid for a second successive title – that was the big shock of Toyota’s revealing of its 2020 motorsport programme. While the New Zealander is in the Super GT line-up of Toyota powerhouse team TOM’S alongside Ryo Hirakawa (with whom he won the 2017 title), the squad’s single-seater entry carrying the #1 earned by Cassidy in 2019 (above) has yet to have a driver assigned for the coming season. An unusually reticent Cassidy, when contacted by Autosport, said that he was “not too keen to make any comments at the moment”. But his omission – even if it’s just for the moment – has sent the Japanese rumour mill into overdrive. It has…

One of the most enjoyable debates in sport should be – if done properly, and avoiding the pitfalls of tribalism and the general cesspools of Twitter replies and YouTube comments – the question ‘who is the best?’ Of course, trying to argue the case for the best Formula 1 driver ever is fraught with peril, given the championship’s long history and ever-changing nature. But declaring one driver to be the best over a season or a year is much more achievable. It’s not for nothing that Autosport’s Top 50 Drivers of the Year feature resonates with fans and competitors alike. F1 has happily borrowed ideas from other sports and entertainment divisions since Liberty Media’s takeover was completed in 2017. So, given it’s February and the wait for on-track action goes…

It’s been more than six years since a team other than Mercedes won a Formula 1 World Championship. Since the introduction of the turbo-hybrid engine regulations, the Silver Arrows have racked up 89 wins with three drivers, 94 poles, 179 podiums, and the headline accomplishment of six title doubles. But in 2020 there’s more than just a chance that things could change. The main thinking behind this theory (which some fans hold as hope for a change, any change) is that because F1’s rules are stable going from 2019 into the new campaign, the field will close up. This isn’t to suggest AlphaTauri or Alfa Romeo will suddenly take the fight to be the championship’s top dog to Mercedes, but that there is the possibility that another one of F1’s…

Kyle Busch will without doubt go down in NASCAR history as one of its best drivers. Even snapping his leg before the season started couldn’t stop him from claiming a first Cup title in 2015 after missing 11 races, and another resolute campaign in 2019 delivered a second triumph. But still, one of NASCAR’s biggest jewels eludes him. To some, the Daytona 500 is an even bigger prize than the NASCAR championship. And it’s not uncommon for great drivers – even great superspeedway aces – to take a long time to win a 500; Dale Earnhardt proved that, taking 19 years to claim his 1998 victory. Busch is four years off breaking that unwanted record, and there’s little else for him to prove other than to go and win the…

The ‘Three Fs’ first performed in concert – for a royal audience at Silverstone – on Saturday 13 May 1950. A boy band they were not: their combined age was nudging 135 years. They were replacing a line-up swept away by accidents and illness within 10 months from July 1948: Achille Varzi (aged 43), Jean-Pierre Wimille (40) and Felice Trossi (41). And the car they were driving had first raced in August 1938. Age was no barrier in this age of no barriers. Two of the Fs were wealthy, privileged Italians, long on experience but short of temper. The third was an outlier: a humble mechanic from Buenos Aires Province. One of them was well past 50 and his pre-Second World War career had been curtailed by crippling rheumatism. Another…

The role of simulators in modern motorsport is well established, but what about racing games? Max Verstappen and Lando Norris teamed up to win the virtual Spa 24 Hours last year and real racing drivers are often competitive in the virtual world, but what are the benefits? Factory Porsche GT driver and outright 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours winner Nick Tandy is one of many active racers who compete on iRacing. His main motivation isn’t to try set-ups or even learn tracks – it’s much more fundamental than that. “The main reason I do it is for the fun factor – it’s the competitive aspect I enjoy,” says the 35-year-old. “The level is good and you can race at any ability level. “If you’re really good you get placed in…

TOYOTA RACING SERIES PUKEKOHE (NZL) 8-9 FEBRUARY ROUND 4/5 Red Bull Junior Liam Lawson moved back into the driving seat on the Toyota Racing Series’ first visit to Pukekohe since 2009, with two wins – including the prestigious New Zealand Motor Cup – putting him back in front in the points as he bids for a second successive title. Polesitter Lawson lost the lead at the start of race one to M2 Competition team-mate and pre-weekend points leader Igor Fraga, but got past at Turn 5 on the opening lap. Fraga was edged off line, allowing another M2-run Red Bull Junior, Yuki Tsunoda, up to second. Despite Fraga’s efforts, Tsunoda held on to second, with Ido Cohen making it a 1-2-3-4 for M2 on the road after a race that…

BRITISH FORMULA 4 Ginetta GT5 Challenge racer Abbi Pulling will switch to single-seaters this season and race in British Formula 4 as she eyes a future W Series campaign. Pulling twice won the Junior TKM karting title before competing in Ginetta Junior and the GT5 Challenge. She will now drive for the JHR Developments team in F4. “It’s been challenging to learn the car [above, in testing], but we’ve worked hard and done lots of preparation on JHR’s simulator so it’s starting to go well,” said Pulling. “I’m matching the times Carter [Williams, a race winner in F4 with JHR in 2019] set last year on the sim, which is good. I’m putting everything into this year. I want to do an amazing job and get into W Series.”…

BWRDC NAMES WINNERS The British Women Racing Drivers’ Club held its annual awards dinner last Saturday. Race-winning Junior Saloon and GT4 driver Jemma Moore received the Natalie Goodwin Trophy for the best performance in circuit racing. Its equivalent for rally drivers, the Louise Aitken-Walker Trophy, was won by European Ladies’ championship runner-up Nabila Tejpar. Sasha Heriot, who has won three British Targa events outright, was named the club’s overall champion, and also won the Co-Drivers’ Trophy. EX-BARC CHAIRMAN DIES Long-standing British Automobile Racing Club chairman Michael Groves has passed away at the age of 88. Groves was one of two vice-presidents of the club at the time of his death. He first attended a motorsport event at Goodwood in 1948 and later became a flag marshal and observer at Thruxton…

BRITISH RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP Matt Edwards got his British Rally Championship title defence off to the perfect start on the Cambrian Rally with a 38.4-second victory over series returnee Osian Pryce. Armed with M-Sport’s Ford Fiesta R5 Mk2 for the first time, Edwards looked at ease throughout and won five of the rally’s seven special stages to seal a second Cambrian win in a row. The only minor blip came at the start of the opening stage with a stall on the startline, but he and co-driver Darren Garrod were quickly on the pace and set a stunning time on SS4 – Great Orme – that was seven seconds quicker than anyone else to set up their victory. The honour of the first fastest stage time of the year went to…

Title one: a crown inherited months after the season concluded following a disqualification for the provisional champion. Title two: a year of “outright domination” with eight victories and a worst result of third place. Title three: a triumph at the end of a year full of ups and downs. Three BMW Compact Cup seasons; three titles for Scottish racer Steven Dailly – and three entirely different championship wins. And now the undisputed king of the Compact Cup field is back for more in 2020 as he seeks to make it four titles on the spin. It’s fair to say that Dailly’s BMW racing career has been unconventional and that first title triumph in 2017, after former British GT champion James Gornall was disqualified for a noncompliant crankshaft and unsuccessfully appealed…

WRC The GR Yaris that Toyota will use in the 2021 World Rally Championship has begun testing, with long-term development driver Juho Hanninen at the wheel. A video released by the Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team on Friday reveals the hotly anticipated hot hatch being tested on heavy snow. The GR Yaris road car – which the WRC challenger will be based on – came as something of a surprise to the car industry when it was revealed in January at the Tokyo Auto Salon (above), with a 257bhp three-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive. Most road-going hot hatches are front-wheel drive. The road car has been developed alongside the TGR rally squad, giving the team the chance to create a solid base car for what becomes its 2021 challenger.…

LE MANS 24 HOURS/WEC/IMSA Ferrari is eyeing a return to the prototype ranks in the new LMDh category announced last month for the first time since the 333SP of the 1990s. But it has stated that it will only consider a programme if it can build its own chassis. That puts it add odds with one of the key principles of LMDh, which will allow manufacturers to race the same car across the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the World Endurance Championship. The rules that come into force for the WEC in 2021-22 and IMSA in 2022 follow on from the current Daytona Prototype international regulations in North America by demanding that the cars are developed out of an LMP2 chassis. Ferrari GT racing boss Antonello Coletta described the announcement of…

LE MANS 24 HOURS Seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson has targeted the Le Mans 24 Hours as one of his top priorities after his full-time stock car career comes to an end at the finish of this season. Johnson announced last December that 2020 would be his last full-time NASCAR Cup Series season, after a run of 19 consecutive full campaigns. He said that the decision was made to spend more time with family, but added that his quest for competition is “still very intense” and that “I’m not retiring, it’s not that fork in the road for me yet, but I definitely need a balance change”. Johnson, who has twice finished second in the Daytona 24 Hours in seven starts in the race, told Autosport of his Le…

Comparisons between Formula 1 and football don’t always go down well in the pages of Autosport, but there’s a contrast between the attitude of both sets of supporters that has bothered me for some time. Over the past decade, it’s been a pretty torrid time to be an Aston Villa supporter. There’s been an 8-0 loss, relegation from the Premier League and the club came within a hair’s breadth of financial ruination. Now, however, there’s far more promise. Some of that comes from boy wonder Jack Grealish. If Villa get relegated from the Premier League this season, there’s a good chance that this talisman – who has captained the club he has trained with since the age of six – will leave in search of European football. No one in…

If Ferrari and Red Bull are going to have a hope of defeating Mercedes in the constructors’ championship, then both squads need both sides of their respective garages to be bagging maximum points. As was evidenced at last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix, having two drivers capable of winning can turn the tide during races, which will add up over the course of a campaign. Had Pierre Gasly been in a position to back up Max Verstappen during the race at the Hungaroring, then Mercedes would not have been able to take the strategic gamble that led to Lewis Hamilton’s charge to victory. Ferrari’s drivers need to avoid taking points off each other, while Red Bull needs Alex Albon to get among the leading positions rather than making up the end…

Like Autosport, Porsche ace Nick Tandy is not a fan of the phrase ‘natural talent’. All too often drivers are described as having it – or not. Lewis Hamilton is frequently referred to as a ‘natural talent’, but that’s a lazy way of explaining his success, and completely underplays the amount of hard work that goes in to being the best. Many would describe Tandy as a ‘natural racer’ given his record of dropping into unfamiliar machinery, from Formula Palmer Audi to British Touring Cars, and being quick immediately, but he honed his skills on the family farm and in Ministox. And he has always put the graft in to making the most of his one-off outings, such as placing friends and colleagues around the circuit to see what the…

BRDC SUPERSTARS NAMED The British Racing Drivers’ Club has unveiled its 13 drivers for the 2020 SuperStars programme. Reigning Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion Dan Harper, Lamborghini Super Trofeo World runner-up Sandy Mitchell and British Formula 3 runner-up Johnathan Hoggard have joined the roster for this season. Drivers to remain part of the programme include Charlie Eastwood, Seb Morris, Phil Hanson, Kiern Jewiss, Callum Ilott, Ash Sutton, Dan Ticktum, Tom Gamble, Jake Hill and Enaam Ahmed. REVOLUTION AT RICARD A French final round for the Sports Prototype Cup has been announced and will take place at Paul Ricard on 6-7 November, consisting of two one-hour races. The event will include classes for the Revolution Trophy, Radical SR3 Trophy and Sports Prototype Open. G-CAT BACK TO BRITISH GT G-Cat Racing will…

SPORTS RACERS Two races for sports-prototype machinery will be held at Castle Combe in 2020 as part of an event that will celebrate 45 years of the circuit’s Sports and GT championship. The Sports Racer Challenge will consist of a 20-minute qualifying session plus two 20-minute races with rolling starts at the 4 July meeting. There will be four classes open to machines ranging from more than 2000cc engines to a separate class for Irish Global Lights, with interest levels indicating entries will easily reach double figures. “The 4 July event is a celebration of GTs and not so long ago those sports racers used to race with the GTs, but because of the speed difference we split them,” said Castle Combe Racing Club competitions director Steve Weston. “It’s quite…

LEADFOOT FESTIVAL Alister McRae – brother of 1995 World Rally champion Colin – took his fourth consecutive victory at New Zealand’s fabled Leadfoot Festival hillclimb. At the wheel of a 1998 Subaru WRX which used to be raced by the late Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne, McRae was in good company as ex-WRC driver Hayden Paddon and rallying stalwart Rod Millen also made the final top-10 cut. While Paddon’s time was not quite as quick in a Semog Crosskart, Millen sent his successful Pikes Peak Toyota Celica (below) off the track into the bushes. What started off in 2011 as a get-together to celebrate Pikes Peak champion Rod Millen’s 60th birthday has now turned into an iconic national event. Set in the idyllic seaside village of Hahei, on New Zealand’s east coast,…

HGPCA Andrew Beaumont’s remarkable victory in the second Historic Grand Prix Cars Association race at Cape Town’s hallowed Killarney International Raceway last Saturday broke Will Nuthall’s stranglehold on South Africa’s Passion for Speed retrospective. “After nine years with Classic Team Lotus [headed by Colin Chapman’s son Clive] I’ve finally won a race,” grinned the disbelieving Beaumont, having staved off Nuthall in a full-blooded duel that delighted the large audience. The triumph came against the odds after a driveshaft failure savaged his UDT Laystall 18’s left-rear corner in morning qualifying. Period Team Lotus mechanic Chris ‘Doc’ Dinnage and the crew dug deep to get their charge onto the grid in fifth, behind a quartet of Coopers with Zwartkops winner Nuthall (T53) on pole. Having finished second to Nuthall in the opener,…

DOCUMENTARY FALKEN – 20 YEARS IN 20 STORIES Available to watch at bit.ly/Falken20 Anybody who has watched the Nurburgring 24 Hours in the past 20 years can’t fail to have noticed the lurid turquoise-and-blue-liveried Falken Motorsport cars – ranging from Nissan to Toyota, from Porsche to BMW. The Japanese tyre manufacturer has been a mainstay of the race since 1999 and, to commemorate its 20th anniversary at the Nordschleife last year, has released a documentary on its YouTube channel. Falken has never won the race – its best result remains a third in 2015 – so Falken – 20 Years in 20 Stories is not a self-congratulatory watch. Rather, it’s a 40-minute love letter to the race that charts the trials and tribulations of Falken-entered cars with interviews featuring the…

Denny Hulme (#12 McLaren-Ford M19A), up from fifth on the grid, and third-place qualifier Emerson Fittipaldi (#8 Lotus-Ford 72D) briefly usurp poleman Jackie Stewart (#1 Tyrrell-Ford 003) at the start of the 1972 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami. Stewart was almost immediately back in charge and held the lead until his gearbox failed on lap 45 of 79. Fittipaldi was the immediate beneficiary, but he couldn’t hold back Hulme, who got ahead on lap 57 and extended his advantage to 14.1 seconds at the flag. Hulme’s team-mate Peter Revson was third.
