“Hey. You interested in a piece on the Monaco Grand Prix?” I’ve asked my editors in the past. “Sorry James, Formula 1 stories don’t tend to do that well.” “Apparently, IndyCar’s holding on to its car for another year…” “Hmm, a bit too ‘motorsport’…” “How about Toyota’s new GR LH2 Racing concept?” “…throw in a reference to the Mirai, and that could work. Oh, and can you include a link to Porsche’s new 963 RSP too?” For reasons we’re not absolutely sure, but which the CarBuzz analytics data seems to back up, Le Mans, and indeed the equally high-profile 24-hour races around the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps – the latter of which completes the 2025 trifecta this weekend – continue to tweak the interest of non-motorsport fans each year. This, when the more high-profile likes of F1 and the World Rally Championship simply do not.
