Racing – Latest News, Records & Talk

Welcome to the racing hub of Twin Racers Motorsports. If you love the roar of engines, the smell of burnt rubber and the thrill of a close finish, you’re in the right place. Here we bring you fresh stories, record‑breaking moments and the kind of behind‑the‑scenes info that keeps fans talking.

Hot Topics in Racing Right Now

Super Typhoon Ragasa slammed Hong Kong on Sep 23, 2025, but the airport kept all 600 scheduled flights moving. Emergency crews cleared terminals, secured air‑bridges and opened a brand‑new Coach Hall to link the Greater Bay Area. It shows how even extreme weather can’t stop the flow of people and cargo when the right teams are on it.

On the TV side, Jon Richardson is turning a 1782 Yorkshire pub into a Channel 4 hit. The eight‑part series follows him as he helps the community revive The Plough after 14 years of silence. It’s not just about beer – it’s about preserving local heritage and showing how a bit of humor can rebuild a village.

In world politics, Vladimir Putin’s visit to North Korea signalled a deeper Russian‑North Korean alliance. The rally in Pyongyang included new deals in politics, economics and security. While not a race, the shifting alliances affect global stability – something every fan follows because it can change where sponsors and events end up.

Switching back to sport, Cristiano Ronaldo set a new Saudi Pro League scoring record with 35 goals, beating the old mark of 34. His double against Al‑Ittihad helped Al‑Nassr finish second. Records like this keep the sport exciting and remind us why individual brilliance matters.

Fans often ask why Formula 1 outshines MotoGP in popularity. The simple answer: F1 mixes high tech, celebrity glam and exotic locations. Think champagne showers, red‑carpet races and a season that travels the globe. MotoGP, while gritty and fast, stays a niche that appeals to hardcore gearheads. Both have loyal followings, but the marketing muscle behind F1 pushes it into mainstream conversation.

If speed is your obsession, you’ll love the claim that F1 is the fastest motorsport, hitting about 220 mph. That number isn’t just a brag – it reflects years of engineering, driver skill and a relentless push for aerodynamic perfection. It’s what makes F1 the gold standard for speed fans.

Racing isn’t just about thrills; it can be dangerous. Compared with most careers, professional drivers face a higher risk of serious injury or even death. Safety advances – like the halo device and stricter crash protocols – have cut those risks, but the margin for error stays razor thin. Understanding the danger helps fans appreciate the bravery on the track.

When you ask what type of auto racing is the most popular, the answer lands squarely on Formula 1. Its global fan base, massive TV coverage and brand partnerships keep it at the top of the list. That popularity drives more sponsorship money, better tech and bigger crowds at every Grand Prix.

What Makes Racing So Thrilling?

At its core, racing is a battle of man versus machine. The driver pushes a finely tuned vehicle to its limits while engineers fine‑tune every component for speed and reliability. Add a split‑second strategy – when to pit, which tyres to use – and you’ve got a game of chess played at 200 mph.

The community side matters, too. Whether you’re watching a local circuit or a worldwide championship, the shared excitement – the cheers, the gasps, the post‑race analysis – creates a bond that stretches across borders. That’s why we gather stories from every corner of the sport, from Hong Kong’s airport success to a Pixar car’s name, to keep the conversation alive.

So stick around, read the latest posts, and join the discussion. Racing moves fast, but with Twin Racers Motorsports you’ll never miss a beat.

Are manual transmission cars better for racing?

Are manual transmission cars better for racing?

Manual transmission cars have been the preferred choice for racing for many years due to their increased control and precision. They offer drivers greater control of their car in terms of acceleration, braking and cornering by allowing the driver to shift gears manually. Manual transmission cars also tend to have better fuel economy and can be more reliable in certain types of racing. Additionally, manual transmission cars are often seen as being more fun to drive and can provide a more engaging experience for the driver. However, there are some downsides to manual transmission cars such as increased wear and tear on the vehicle as well as the need for more precise timing and technique from the driver.
