That uneasy feeling returned this week after Formula One Management and the FIA revealed updated terminology for the 2026 season. The announcement came with flashy renders of the new cars, and while the visuals drew plenty of interest, it was the language behind the technology that sparked all the online chaos. Hence, the FIA decided to introduce new technologies. From 2026 onwards, active aerodynamics will replace the old DRS tech, with the initial terminology being used as Manual Overtake Mode or "MOM. However, the term has generated numerous memes online, and now "MOM has been replaced by "Overtake Mode. According to the FIA, this system allows drivers to deploy extra power…...

As a hungry young gun in the Busch Grand National Series, the now NASCAR legend did not know that afternoon would change his life forever. "But when there's this mean Winston Cup guys, and you're running right with them, and you're beating them, there's nothing sweeter." Fast forward to today, and an unseen video of the event is out and about. The unseen footage has been making its own rounds on the internet. Gordon had already put together decent runs earlier that season, but Atlanta was where he went from promising rookie to race winner, leading 103 of 197 laps and driving his Baby Ruth-sponsored No. 1 Thunderbird to Victory Lane. But here is the twist. That race wasn't just any old win;…...

And as the truth comes out, there is no going back from this system NASCAR created. Tommy Joe Martins, ever the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck visionary, didnt hold back. Speaking on Chase Holdens YouTube video, the veteran laid it on thick. "The joke with Junior Motorsports is like they could go out and win every race, and they basically did," he said. "They won 20 races. I guarantee you they lost money. It just doesnt pay enough money." It is no secret that Dale Earnhardt Jr....

Following 20 years at Red Bull, Horner was sacked in July with Laurent Mekies taking over at the team, leaving the Brit without a role in F1. Horner will have to serve a period of gardening leave until spring 2026, but a report in the Dutch media claims he is already in 'talks' with the team of his friend Flavio Briatore. Max Verstappen's chances of competing at the Nurburgring 24 Hours could be scuppered by F1. The four-time world champion won his debut GT3 race in Germany earlier this year, and will want to take on one of the most iconic endurance races around.
