V8 Supercars: Supercars sophomore Ryan Wood claims maiden win at Perth Super 440, Brodie Kostecki improves
Supercars sophomore Ryan Wood has sparked emotional celebrations with his maiden race victory as local boy Brodie Kostecki showed signs he may be able to steal his first win of the year in Perth. Australia's premier motorsport championship made a well-behaved start to the Perth Super 440 at Raceway in Wanneroo, with not a single flag flown or safety car deployed. Wood barely put a foot wrong after starting second on the grid, capturing the lead 10 laps in before fending off a roaring finish from reigning champion Will Brown in the final five laps to salute in front of the West Australian faithful. Kostecki fell two places from his third-place start but showed major improvements after only managing 18th fastest in practice on Friday, a huge boost to his hopes across the weekend. Wood made the most of the outside line off the starting grid but was outmaneuvered into the first turn as pole-sitter Chaz Mostert held onto the lead. Kostecki left too much room for championship leader Broc Feeney on the inside to slip out of the podium places off the line. It forced the Perth boy to settle in behind him, and he steadily lost time in the dirty air while also fending off Will Brown and Matt Payne as they battled behind him. Mostert's lead evaporated on lap ten of 50, Wood side-by-side with him on the inside through turn seven before making the most of a better exit to capture the lead through turn one. Feeney was the first to pull the trigger on a pit stop, taking two new tyres in an impressive 3.6-second change on lap 22 and forcing Wood to react. The move worked perfectly for Feeney, Wood's rear tyres forcing a slow stop to leave the young gun on the race leader's bumper after his rejoin. The call to leave Mostert out past the halfway mark cost the Mobil1 driver; a slow pit stop dumping him out behind Kostecki in fifth. However, it was the best possible result for the fans as Mostert and the hometown hero renewed hostilities, going bumper-to-bumper and crisscrossing into and out of turns seven and one. In the end, Mostert's new set of tyres made the difference, Kostecki unable to win his spot back a second time. Red Bull teammates Feeney and Will Brown rubbed shoulders as the race reached the pointy end. And the reigning champion was given the green light to race Feeney, grabbing second with 12 laps to go before making a run at Wood that came up narrowly short.

With the 93rd edition of this legendary race approaching, Cadillac Racing looks to contend for the overall victory while showcasing its all-new livery featuring the Mobil 1 brand. Earlier this year, the Mobil 1 team announced an extension of its technical alliance with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), further solidifying its role as the Official Motor Oil of Cadillac Sports Car Racing. 'Le Mans is the ultimate proving ground in motorsport, and we're proud to support Cadillac's ambitions through our continued technical partnership,' adds Tony Esposito, Strategic Global Alliance Manager, on behalf of the Mobil 1 team. 'This new livery reflects what our work with Cadillac is all about – performance, passion and pushing boundaries. We're thrilled to see it come to life on track at Le Mans, where our legacy in motorsport continues.' While at Le Mans, Cadillac Racing will contest the twice-around-the-clock race on the 8.467-mile course incorporating public roads with a four-car factory program lineup that features drivers who have accumulated 21 Le Mans podiums. Cadillac Racing is in its third season of WEC competition, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans among eight races, with the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens and the No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais and Jenson Button. The No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R driven by Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque and the No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Jack Aitken, Felipe Dragovich and Frederik Vesti are full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship contenders in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class competing as the Nos. 10 and 31, respectively. Cadillac Racing earned a third-place finish at Le Mans in 2023 after a 21-year hiatus and qualified second and third in 2024 with a best finish of seventh among its three-car contingent. The Cadillac V-Series.R, powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DOHC V8 engine, marks the third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar and the brand's first hybrid electrified race car. Co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and chassis constructor Dallara, the racecar represents the fifth generation of the V-Series, incorporating key Cadillac V-Series production car design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades. Motorsport provides a testbed for the Cadillac and Mobil 1 brands to transfer knowledge and technology between racecars and production vehicles. The performance, durability, and efficiency of systems tested under extreme conditions directly influence the design of Cadillac production vehicles — delivering innovation, power, and reliability to customers.

Christopher Bell's new Mobil 1 NASCAR paint scheme for 2025 revealed
Christopher Bell's new Mobil 1 NASCAR paint scheme for 2025 revealed Christopher Bell is out to prove a point in 2025 after a rough end to the 2024 NASCAR season. Last year, Bell missed the Championship 4 due to race manipulation by Chevrolet at the Round of 8 finale at Martinsville. Now, the driver of the No. 20 car is out for revenge, and his season will start with a brand-new paint scheme. On Monday morning, Joe Gibbs Racing revealed Bell's new Mobil 1 paint scheme for the No. 20 car during the 2025 NASCAR season. The 30-year-old driver will run the entry at the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray on Sunday night. The No. 20 car has a white base with black and red designs, making the number on the door a solid white. Overall, this is a very sharp paint scheme for Bell and Mobil 1, which always gives the No. 20 car a fantastic appearance. It's unclear where else Mobil 1 will sponsor Bell throughout the 2025 NASCAR season, but it's clear that this car will be among the best paint schemes he runs this year.
