    The wraps came off the Gen3-spec Toyota Supra Supercar ahead of this week’s edition of the Brad Jones Racing Run Down. BJR general manager Chris Westwood and the driver of the #96 Macauley Jones chat about the car’s first track laps, which Macca was on hand for at Toyota Australia’s in-house test track.

    The 2025 Gippsland Rally has been run and won, so what do we make of Hayden Paddon's domination over the two days of competition? The RallySport Magazine team discuss what the result means for the Australian Rally Championship, and what we liked and didn't like about a rally in “The Middle of Everywhere". Jackson Long and Tony Sullens both wrapped up their respective ARC Cups, and we also saw an eye-catching performance from a former ARC event winner in his state series. We also touch on this weekend's cancelled Rosewood Rally, look ahead to the WRC's first visit to Paraguay in South America, and comment on a former cricket star's rallying debut.

    There’s plenty of ground to cover this week on The Brad Jones Racing Run Down! It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from the driver of the #96 Macauley Jones and BJR general manager Chris Westwood, and they look back at a challenging weekend at Queensland Raceway and talk through one of the most challenging parts of the Gen3 era: the setup window. They also explain where they are at with the build of their first Toyota Supercar, working with homologation team Walkinshaw Andretti United and what’s to come as the Supra prepares to hit the track and then the windtunnel. They also chat about the recent Enduro Cup rule changes, Macca’s recent work with a BMW Super Tourer, and how one of Brad’s old NASCARs recently made a brief return to BJR headquarters!

    The Australian Rally Championship has been through a transition period.
