Monza – September 08, 2026 -- Barilla hosted the first-ever "La Tavolata" dinner ahead of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, seating more than 200 guests at a table stretching nearly 100 meters through the paddock.

The Thursday evening gathering brought together drivers, team principals, mechanics, engineers, strategists, safety and medical car drivers, personal trainers, and tire technicians -- the people whose coordination shapes every race weekend but who rarely share a meal together during it.

VCARB driver Yuki Tsunoda dined alongside his own race engineer

Among the attendees were VCARB driver Yuki Tsunoda and his Race Engineer, Alexandre Iliopoulos. Tsunoda said the evening showcased "all the people it takes to win on and off track," adding that teamwork rarely gets celebrated outside of race weekends.

Stockholm – September 08, 2026 -- Slovenian motocross rider Jan Pancar has clinched the 2026 Italian Prestige 24MX MX1 championship, winning the opening moto at the final round in Castiglione del Lago to seal the title.

Pancar overtakes defending champion to win the deciding moto

Racing for the family-run TEM JP253 KTM Racing Team, Pancar arrived at the Gioiella circuit already holding the championship lead. He controlled the early stages of the opening moto, then increased his pace to pass defending champion Isak Gifting and take the chequered flag, securing the title with one race win.

It marks Pancar's second Italian Prestige championship, following his MX2 title in 2022.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Audi brought its performance credentials to the Miami Grand Prix at the end of April, marking the brand's first US Formula 1 appearance as a factory team and debuting the all-new Audi RS 5 in the F1 Pirelli Hot Lap Program for the first time on American soil. The weekend spanned the racetrack at Miami Gardens and the streets of Wynwood, with city-wide fan activations, partner events, and premium hospitality at Turn 1 running from April 30 through May 3. For Audi, the Miami debut carried particular significance — it was the brand's first US factory racing appearance since competing in Formula E in New York City in 2021.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2025 – Formula E returned to Sanya, China for the first time in seven years, and the Citroën Racing Formula E Team had one of those days that reminds everyone why electric street racing is impossible to predict. Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship played out around the Haitang Bay circuit under intense heat, featuring a mid-race red flag, two Full Course Yellow periods, and enough position shuffling to keep fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Jean-Éric Vergne worked his way from thirteenth to eighth to claim four championship points, while Nick Cassidy — who briefly led the race — was ultimately unclassified after a string of incidents derailed what had been a genuinely strong afternoon.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2026 – Team Peugeot TotalEnergies and its six drivers made it to the finish line of the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, completing a gruelling race weekend that coincided with the centenary of Peugeot's first Le Mans participation — though the result, an 11th and 12th place finish, fell short of what the team had been chasing. The two PEUGEOT 9X8 Hypercars crossed the finish line after 24 hours of relentless racing at the Circuit de la Sarthe, collecting six FIA WEC championship points and a clear sense of what needs to improve before the season closes out and before the 2027 programme takes shape.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2026 – Alfa Romeo has claimed victory at the 44th 1000 Miglia, with a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport driven by Juan and Margarita Tonconogy crossing the finish line first on Brescia's Viale Venezia on June 13. It is the brand's 11th overall win at what is widely called the most beautiful race in the world, extending a record of dominance stretching back to 1928 that no other manufacturer has come close to matching. Alongside the outright victory, Alfa Romeo turned up in force — 50 cars at the start line, a rare 1956 1900 Super Sprint from the Heritage Hub Italy collection drawing crowds along the route, and the dynamic debut of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa limited series.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2025 – Peugeot has announced an exclusive collaboration with the 24 Hours of Le Mans to mark 100 years since its first appearance at the legendary race, resulting in a new special edition range set to launch at next year's Le Mans event. The PEUGEOT 24 Hours Le Mans Edition will span five models — the 208, 308, 408, 3008, and 5008 — and draws on a partnership built around shared values: technological innovation, endurance, and French prestige. It's a meaningful milestone for a brand that has won the race three times and still competes there today with the 9X8 Hypercar.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 08, 2026 – Peugeot's racing arm wrapped up a grueling six-hour shakedown at the Circuit de la Sarthe on Sunday, putting both of its 9X8 hypercars through more than 2,000 kilometers ahead of the 94th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For motorsport fans, the timing carries extra weight: the French brand is marking a full century since its first appearance at the world's most famous endurance race, and the crowds let the team know it, lining the streets of Le Mans to cheer the cars during the traditional parade. The test session gave all six of the team's drivers track time, sorted out tyre choices, and let one rookie clear a required hurdle before the real running begins later this week.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 6, 2026 -- Toyota Racing is heading to the Circuit de la Sarthe with a clear target: a sixth victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours, the most demanding endurance race on the planet. The 94th edition of the legendary French classic takes place on 13–14 June, and Toyota will field two TR010 HYBRID Hypercars against a 62-car grid featuring 18 Hypercars from eight different manufacturers. With over 300,000 fans expected trackside and the updated TR010 HYBRID making its Le Mans debut, the stakes have rarely felt higher for a team that already holds the record for the fastest-ever lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
