🏁 MUSTANG DOMINATION! (Again) 💰 Townsville's $5 MILLION Gamble! ⚡ Electric Cars Rule Goodwood | Full Course Yellow LIVE

The Mustangs have done it again!

Three races. Three Mustang victories. Cameron Waters, Matt Payne and Brodie Kostecki swept the streets of Townsville, leaving Chevrolet fans asking the same question yet again...

Should Supercars step in and make the Camaros more competitive, or is this simply the BowTie has picked the wrong horse to bet on with Team 18?

THANK YOU TOWNSVILLE RATEPAYERS!

The Townsville City Council wants to spend $5 million of ratepayers money resurfacing the Reid Park Street Circuit. Some say it's money well spent. Others think it's a complete waste of limited public resources.

Who's right?

We'll break down the racing, the politics and ask whether Townsville is a worthy part of the Supercars calendar.

Meanwhile at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, electric cars once again stunned the world with blistering performances.

So here's the uncomfortable question...

Is the future already here, or are motorsport fans refusing to let go of the past?

We'll also cover:
🏍 Marc Márquez continues rewriting the record books.
😩 More heartbreak for Marco Bezzecchi.
🏆 The latest from the FIA World Endurance Championship.
🇺🇸 NASCAR's biggest talking points.
🏁 Plus all the other stories that had the motorsport world talking this week. (If we get time)

💬 Join us LIVE and be part of the discussion!

Was Townsville a great race?
Should Supercars make another parity adjustment?
Would you rather watch V8s... or EVs? EV's are faster now, so what's the problem?

We want YOUR opinions, and we'll answer your motorsport questions live on air.

If you didn't see this before the British GP I highly recommend you watch it now.
Ollie Bearman drives Ayrton Senna's JPS Lotus at Silverstone.
It's impressive to see just what it means to him and the passion he clearly has for the sport and it's history.

I've said since the earliest days of In Pit Lane that Motorkhana could be a top TV motorsport.
Easy to cover, self contained. It just needs a few tweaks to how it is run to help build the drama and make it easier for people to understand.
Sadly there was never any interest from anybody to make it happen.
This incredible display of driving skill from a Motorkhana in the UK shows just how entertaining this can be.

SRO OUTLINES 2027 GT WORLD CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA CALENDAR & ANNOUNCES NEW BATHURST ROUND

----
SRO Motorsports Group boss Stefan Ratel has revealed the provisional 2027 calendar for the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, alongside major structural updates for local GT racing.The announcement, made during the annual global SRO presentation at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, locks in five events with the Shannons SpeedSeries, leaving one unconfirmed slot to complete a six-round championship.

Mount Panorama Returns to the Schedule

The main headline of the 2027 schedule is the return to Mount Panorama on 29–31 October. The event will serve as the season finale for the five locked-in Shannons SpeedSeries rounds.

This marks the first time the category will headline a standalone SpeedSeries event at Bathurst since the 2024 Bathurst International, a move welcomed by teams and drivers seeking maximum track time at the venue.

Additionally, SRO confirmed the anticipated standalone GT4 feature race at the Bathurst 12 Hour weekend. The category will get a dedicated showcase on the international event's undercard, consisting of two one-hour sprint races on Friday and Saturday.

2027 Provisional Calendar

Round 1 16–18 AprilPhillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, VIC Confirmed
Round 2 28–30 MayShell V-Power Motorsport Park (The Bend), SA Confirmed
Round 3 23–25 July Sydney Motorsport Park, NSW Confirmed Round 4 17–19 September Queensland Raceway, QLD Confirmed
Round 5 29–31 OctoberMount Panorama, NSWConfirmed
Round 6TBCTo Be Announced.

While five rounds are secured, the identity of the sixth round remains the othermain talking point. SRO Australia CEO Ben McMellan stated in a media release that management continues to work through opportunities for the final slot, but navigating the back half of the year presents distinct political and scheduling hurdles.

The remaining open dates coincide with the traditional Supercars endurance & finals season. However, a move to join a Supercars event remains a contentious point for SRO competitors.
There is widespread dissatisfaction among GTWC Australia team owners regarding their treatment at Supercars-promoted events. Historically, support categories face restricted track schedules, less-than-ideal paddock allocations, and limited commercial leverage compared to the main game.
For a premium category fielding sophisticated FIA-GT3 machinery, many entrants prefer standalone SRO platforms where their investments are given appropriate priority and broadcast space.

For Victorian fans, the schedule confirms that Sandown Raceway has been dropped, with neither GT3 nor GT4 slated to return to the popular Melbourne circuit.
This leaves the season opener at Phillip Island as the sole Victorian round on the provisional schedule. Unless SRO management secures a Victorian venue for the unconfirmed sixth round, southern competitors and fans face a travel-heavy 2027 itinerary.

What are your thoughts on the provisional schedule? Where would you like to see the event take place?
Should SRO look for an independent venue for Round 6? How about a return to New Zealand? or is a shared weekend with Supercars a commercial necessity?

Survival of the Fittest (and the Camouflaged) 🌴🏎️

Darwin brought the heat, the drama, and apparently... a crowd dressed entirely in active-camouflage. Welcome to this week's Full Course Yellow LIVE, coming to you from deep behind the suburban curtain at In Pit Lane HQ.

We have absolutely bucketloads to unpack tonight, and yes, we are going to try our absolute hardest to keep this show within our 1 hour timeslot. That said, the chances of us actually succeeding are about as unlikely as Australia winning the FIFA World Cup.
Grab a drink, and a Sherpa guide, we might be here a while.

On the Racing Menu Tonight:

The Darwin Mirage: Mustangs dominated, Anton de Pasquale saved face for Chevy, and Supercars claimed 40,000 people attended. We investigate where they were hiding (and why night racing is the saviour that Supercars are praying for).

MotoGP Mayhem: Marco Bezzecchi decided to fight a marshal to advance to the next round of Power Slap where he'll take on former WWE start Jake Hager.
On Track Marc Marquez capitalised closing the gap, and Phillip Island loses World Superbikes to The Bend. Plus, the Adelaide street race tree controversy.

NASCAR’s Hit Job: They finally figured out how to stop Shane van Gisbergen on a road course—just bulldoze him into a wall. We look at the fallout and Corey Heim's chaotic maiden Cup win.

Congratulations to Renee Gracie on her GT win at QR with Will Davison yesterday! 🏆

Her passion for the sport and determination to succeed—especially in the face of so much opposition from the idiots out there—is to be admired.

I haven’t had a lot to do with her personally, but seeing how she interacts with her fans at the track is impressive. The sad thing is, so many of the online comments since the win prove just how little we’ve evolved as a society.

Some more photos from our first trip to Le Mans.
What an experience it was to be able to be on the grid and in pit lane for the race.
Sadly a lot of the original photos are gone thanks to the dreadful Apple Photos system killed off hundreds of our photos over the years.

The 24 Heures du Mans starts at midnight AEST unfortunately neither the WEC+ or Global TV feed on Stan and free for the first 2 hours on NineGO start until 11PM.
However if you want to enjoy and experience the unique and often very emotional build up to the greatest race then you need to listen to the team at Radio Le Mans.
The countdown to green is on now and the annual Roll of Honour will be soon.
Listen via https://player.radioshow.limited/ on RS1.
They also have a live video feed from the commentary booth with a countdown clock that allows you to sync up with the vision but still listen to the RLM feed.

**New Asian Le Mans Cup Opens Fresh Pathway for Emerging Australian Talent**

As predicted the big news stories keep rolling out at Le Mans.
Along with the move of Australian driver Matt Campbell to Ford. (Which we did predict on Full Course Yellow about 6 weeks ago)
We got this news today as well.

A new endurance racing championship has been unveiled at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, creating additional opportunities for aspiring Australian drivers to compete on the international stage.

Announced during the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) press conference at Le Mans, the newly formed **Asian Le Mans Cup** will provide a dedicated home for LMP3 and GT3 competitors across Asia, running alongside the existing Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) calendar.

The move comes ahead of the arrival of Hypercar machinery in the Asian Le Mans Series from the 2026/27 season. With ALMS set to focus on Hypercar, LMP2 and GT competition, organisers have elected to establish a separate championship for LMP3 competitors, modelled on the highly successful Michelin Le Mans Cup in Europe.

The Asian Le Mans Cup will feature three classes: LMP3, LMP3 Pro/Am and GT3. The LMP3 category will be reserved for Gold and Silver-rated drivers, while both LMP3 Pro/Am and GT3 entries must include at least one Bronze-rated driver. Platinum-rated drivers will not be eligible to compete in the new championship.

For Australian drivers and teams, the announcement is particularly significant. The new series creates another realistic pathway into top-level international endurance racing, offering young talent the opportunity to gain experience in professionally run events associated with the Asian Le Mans Series while competing against strong international fields.

Australia has produced a growing number of successful endurance racers in recent years, and the addition of another Asian-based championship could make international competition more accessible for emerging drivers looking to build careers in sports car racing. It also provides a potential stepping stone towards higher categories, including the FIA World Endurance Championship and the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans.

ALMEM and LMEM CEO Frédéric Lequien said the decision was designed to ensure continued growth for both LMP3 and GT3 competition in Asia.

"We are pleased to announce the creation of a new Asian endurance series for LMP3 and GT3 cars modelled on the highly successful Michelin Le Mans Cup," Lequien said.

"With the arrival of Hypercar in the Asian Le Mans Series it has been decided to give the LMP3 competitors the opportunity to race on the same weekends as the ALMS in a separate series, with GT3 cars also being eligible to race in the new Asian Le Mans Cup as well as in the ALMS.

"We are confident that the Asian Le Mans Cup will attract more teams and drivers to compete, which will become the first step on the endurance racing ladder with the ultimate goal of competing in the FIA WEC and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans."

While the inaugural calendar has yet to be announced, speculation continues that Australia could again feature on the schedule. Rumours persist that a return to The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia remains a possibility, although no official confirmation has been provided by organisers.

Should Australia secure a round, it would further strengthen the country's growing links to international endurance racing and provide local teams and drivers with a valuable opportunity to compete at a major international level on home soil.
