As the motorsport season winds up for 2023 and we head into the Advent calendar approaching Christmas, we feel it's appropriate to acknowledge and celebrate some of the various winners of categories we follow and post photographs of on this website. Supercars crowned a new champion in Brodie Kostecki. Once a maiden win was acquired early in the season, he was the leading frontrunner throughout the entire campaign, winning a deserved title for the popular Erebus team. A future heavy hitter for seasons to come in Australia's premier category. Congratulations to Aaron Cameron for winning his inaugural Gold Star in S5000. The top prize in Australian motorsport for open wheel categories. A versatile racer who also competes in TCR Australia Series. Persistence exemplified in James Moffatt. A distinguished lengthy career in numerous categories has finally netted him his first national championship. This was achieved competing in National Trans Am. Kudos to Josh Buchan in wrapping up the TCR Australia Series title for HMO Customer Racing at the Bathurst International. Proving that's it's never over until the final chequered flag, he came from behind to defeat the unfortunate Bailey Sweeny and hold off a late offensive from defending champ Tony D'Alberto. We did however find it intriguing that the international drivers of the TCR World Tour heavily populated the podium at both Sydney Motorsport Park and Mt Panorama. We love it when the internationals come Down Under to bolster the racing ranks. Finally, are we witnessing something very special in Formula One? Red Bull won 21 out of 22 races securing both the constructor's crown and a 1-2 in the driver's title. Max Verstappen won an unprecedented 19 races to become a triple world champion. He has joined such illustrious names like Fangio, Brabham, Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton. Scary thing is, Verstappen is still only 26. Could we be watching F1 history in the making? To those that suggest that the current level of dominance demonstrated renders F1 a little lacklustre, we could be looking back in years to come asking, "Remember when....?"
