The current issue of RACER magazine is focused on the annual Great Cars Issue, but it could easily be renamed The Adrian Newey Issue due to the Formula 1 design genius’s significant presence. The magazine delves into some of Newey’s revolutionary cars spanning three decades in F1, while also looking ahead to his ongoing innovative journey. Newey’s expertise becomes crucial when new F1 rules, like the 2014 turbo-hybrid revamp and 2022 ground effects redux, are introduced, emphasizing the importance of cracking the code from the outset. Despite challenges, Newey managed to excel with the Red Bull RB10 in 2014 and RB18 in 2022, showcasing his prowess in creating leading chassis/aero combinations. Aston Martin’s recent move to secure Newey’s services for the 2026 F1 season highlights the anticipation surrounding his potential impact in the upcoming major rules reset. The RACER issue also explores other great cars such as the Subaru Impreza rally car and the innovative Dauer 962LM, while featuring interviews with NTT IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou and insights on Williams’ F1 comeback and Tyler Reddick’s NASCAR journey, offering a diverse yet captivating read for motorsport enthusiasts.
