The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 has been introduced, and you will learn all about it in this week’s Racecraft & Race Cars Roundup. I also have racecraft tips, introduce the new Nordic 4 race car and find out why David Malukas uses a mental coach. All this and much more!
Racecraft Tips & Techniques
On-Track
This video from Enzo Mucci is to help you focus on the things that will help you perform at your best as a race driver.
Grassroots Motorsports explains how to improve your lap times with a simple speed/distance graph. “Many of today’s app-based data-acquisition packages cost less than a takeout pizza, and they’ll all provide the most valuable and useful slice of the data pie that you can consume: the speed/distance graph.”
Danish motorsport is getting a significant boost with a new collaboration between two strong profiles: Jan Magnussen and Tommy Schröter, who together have created a joint concept that will strengthen both the broad and the elite in Danish and international motorsport.
The initiative is rooted in a shared ambition to develop racing drivers with a professional framework, targeted coaching and strategic sparring – while giving the sport greater visibility and impact.
“It’s not just about training and technique. It’s about giving the drivers the best conditions to develop as complete athletes – both on and off the track,” says Tommy Schröter.
The new collaboration is united under Baseline Driver Training, which will be the official platform for booking, communication and development programs.
Here, racing drivers, teams and others around development are offered access to a unique set-up that combines top international experience with proven coaching methods and strategic advice.
“We’ve all experienced how important it is to have the right team around you. Now we’re creating that team for others,” says Jan Magnussen, who offers his experience as a top driver and role model.
The collaboration will be a lever for talents and the team as a whole that will go all the way, and at the same time a clear signal to the industry that Danish and international motorsport has the capacity to think in new ways.
The focus will include:
- Development of young, established and gentleman drivers
- Individual coaching programs with access to first-class sparring
- Increased visibility for motorsport and general 360 degree elite development.
- A clear, professional profile in the market
“We want to be visible and accessible. Motorsport is changing, and we want to help shape that development – not just follow along,” says Tommy Schröter.

Off-Track
In the video above, Samantha Tan goes over her gym routine as she prepares for racing season! She teaches why training arms, back, legs, and core is essential for racing and how consistently working out helps her improve her performance!
David Malukas is entirely unashamed in his admittance of support he has had from a mental coach. Exactly as it should be and for too long has not been. Dive Bomb talks to the driver as he explains how a mental coach helps.
“When you talk with drivers all the time, they’re always talking about the physical and you see all these cuts of them in the gym working their arms, showing the triceps, biceps. ‘Yeah, we’re getting strong,’” Malukas says. “Obviously that’s always important. But I feel like the mental aspect hasn’t really been spoken about too much.”
Terence Dove explains the root of racing driver mental toughness and why you need to get to the core of what it means to be a driver.
Race Car & Series Developments
Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the new Temerario GT3 contender, which is due to enter competition next season. The Temerario GT3 is Lamborghini’s first competition race car to be designed, developed, and built internally by the Italian manufacturer. It features the road-going Temerario’s 4-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine, but without the hybrid element featured in Lamborghini’s latest “baby bull.”
Much of the Temerario GT3 has been developed with ease of use in mind for drivers, mechanics, and engineers, including detachable front and subframes, body panels, and suspension mounting plates for faster maintenance and repairs. The car also features an updated interior, new lightweight carbon composite bodywork, and improved airflow for engine and brake cooling.
Formula Regional Oceania is set to transition to a FIA Regional Trophy, implementing a revised calendar and race weekend structure for the upcoming season. The series will feature four rounds instead of five, maintaining a 15-race schedule across these events with altered race lengths and qualifying formats for specific races. The introduction of a push-to-pass system and increased tyre allocation are key technical changes designed to enhance competition, attracting international interest such as the collaboration between HMD Motorsports and TJ Speed.
Nordic 4 has announced it will retire its long-used Formula 4 cars after this season, with the category being replaced by a new chassis taking technical inspiration from Formula 1000. Danish manufacturer Aquila has been contracted to provide Nordic 4’s new car for 2026 onwards, which will be faster and cheaper to run than its F4 predecessor, after championship organizers deemed contemporary entry-level single-seaters on the market not suitable for its needs.
The presence of GT3-specification cars in the new GTDX class has been a welcome addition to the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge series. Through six races, their pace has been close to the pacesetting LMP3 class and the championship battle is the closest among any IMSA-sanctioned class heading into July as the series headed to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park last weekend.
The second edition of Fun Cup’s World’s End Cup will be definitely exceptional as it takes place at the Daytona International Speedway and registration is now open.
TCR Asia confirms the calendar for the balance of the season as it announced that the series then moves to Inje Speedium in Korea on September 12-14 and remains at Inje joining the World Tour event on October 17-19. Zhuzhou International Circuit in China then holds the final round on October 31 – November 1.
TOCA has announced an extension to its agreement with Motorsport UK that will see it continue to operate and promote the British Touring Car Championship through to the end of 2031.
Further tweaks have been made to the 2025 TCR South America calendar, just days after the change of venue for the first Brazilian race weekend scheduled for August 15-17.
McLaren Trophy America will recognize Pro-Am and Am drivers over a certain age or with limited experience with the launch of the Papaya Cup beginning with this weekend’s fifth and sixth rounds of the season at Virginia International Raceway.
Crown Concepts, a premier performance automotive business based in Arizona, has announced the acquisition of Racing Equipment Sales (trading as Radical Arizona) and the signing of a full dealership agreement with Radical Motorsport, the global manufacturer of world-renowned purpose-built race cars.
As part of the agreement, Crown Concepts will continue to operate from its 27,500 sq. ft., Tucson-based performance facility, while also supporting Radical drivers at Apex Motor Club, Inde Motorsports Ranch, Podium Club and national-level Radical Cup events.
From the Sim Racing Roundup
Sim racer Sebastian Job is set to drive a Red Bull RB8 F1 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend and you will understand why in last week’s Sim Racing Roundup. I also have details of a new sim center at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, a new Motorsport Australia esports survey and much more!
Track Days
Every ten years or so, Ferrari releases a halo car — the kind that defines an era. From the F40 to the Enzo, to the LaFerrari, each one represents a generational leap in performance and technology.
The F80 is that moment — the heir to the LaFerrari throne, and now the sharpest spear in Maranello’s arsenal. And with first drives now hitting the internet, it’s clear this isn’t just about crazy numbers. It’s about control, confidence, and what happens when a track car decides it actually wants to be your best friend on the road.

Grassroots Motorsports‘ Randy Pobst explains how the 1064-horsepower C8 Corvette ZR1 is like a big Miata. “The ZR1 is the latest, greatest version of the Corvette C8 platform, of which I have always approved, and what’s very interesting is that its driving personality is the exact opposite of the twitchy C7’s in some important ways.”
