2025 NASCAR Cup Series - Coca-Cola 600

Wrapping up The Greatest Day in Motorsports is NASCAR's colossal oval race, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. For the first time ever, this race was streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Amazingly, despite his accident at the INDY 500, Kyle Larson managed to show up in Charlotte, proving to the world that he's still in his fighting form.

As the green flag waved, the longest NASCAR race ever, streaming live for the first time ever on Prime Video, has commenced. The first stage saw Kyle Larson, reeling from his Indy 500 accident, sliding through but managing to avoid a collision, followed by Alex Bowman colliding with the wall and spinning. As William Byron wins Stage 1, Stage 2 saw Jimmie Johnson's chain reaction that caught Cole Custer and Connor Zilisch in this mess. 

With Byron nabbing Stage 2, the race got paused for their Memorial Day tradition. When Stage 3 commenced, Zane Smith got crashed on the backstretch, followed by a big one that got Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, and Daniel Suarez out of the race. As Stage 3 wrapped up with Byron, the finale saw Carson Hocevar's spinning disaster, followed by Tyler Reddick's dramatic crash, and a surprise attack by Ross Chastain that snagged Byron's lead with 10 laps to go.

NTT IndyCar Series 2025 - INDY 500

Every Memorial Day weekend, the Greatest Spectacle in Racing comes to life in Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's called the INDY 500, and for this year, it's going to be a lot different than previous INDY 500 races. Alex Palou may be this season's current leader, but will he win his first INDY 500 race in his career? Time to find out.

Due to the weather conditions that caused a delay to the race start, the track conditions were cool, and this spelled disaster for Scott McLaughlin in the middle of pace laps. As the green flag waved, Marco Andretti crashed out of the race. Come Lap 19, the weather conditions placed the race on the yellow flag for 11 laps before resuming.

40 laps down with Alexander Rossi leading, misfortune strikes on the pit lane as Rossi's car caught fire. Lap 87 saw Rinus Veekay spinning on the pit lane, followed by Kyle Larson's accident on Lap 92 that caught Kyffin Simpson and Sting Ray Robb, gutting the NASCAR driver out of the race.

Behind Nolan Siegel's last-lap crash, Alex Palou made headlines in Indianapolis. Alex Palou trumped Marcus Ericsson and David Malukas to become the first Spaniard to win the Indy 500. At long last, a Spanish driver will have his face marked on the legendary Borg-Warner Trophy.

The Indy 500 is over, but the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series rages on with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix this June 1, 2025.

F1 2025 - TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco

The streets of Monaco roar to life with the Monaco Grand Prix of the 2025 F1 season, one of the greatest races of the weekend ahead of IndyCar's Indy 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600. With the implementation of the mandatory two-pitstop rule, drivers are making tight strategies to survive and conquer Monaco's plot twists.

Thanks to Max Verstappen's late pitstop ahead of the final lap, Lando Norris of McLaren managed to win his first Monaco Grand Prix of his career, beating the likes of last year's winner Charles Leclerc of Ferrari and fellow McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, who is currently leading the championship standings.

Behind Norris' late Monaco win come some not-so-great moments in Monaco, such as Pierre Gasly's collision with Yuki Tsunoda that sent the former packing, as well as Fernando Alonso calling it quits due to mechanical failures.

As Piastri and the rest of McLaren are still leading, despite his third-place finish, there's plenty of action as F1's 75th anniversary celebrations will continue in Catalunya for the Aramco Gran Premio de España this June 1st, 2025.

My GT7 Log: The Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 became the talk of the town since its 2019 debut, the same year as the fourth-generation Mazda 3. Here in Gran Turismo 7, I got the chance to sample the first Mazda crossover SUV of the Reiwa era.

So, what's it all about the Mazda CX-30?

As the second model of Mazda’s next generation lineup that started with the fourth-generation Mazda 3, the CX-30 is all about being the standing ovation of the crossover hatchback market. Although it looks similar to its Mazda3 equivalent, the cladding and increased ground clearance make the CX-30 easy to differentiate.

Under the hood, the CX-30 is offered with a choice of a SKYACTIV-G 2.0L, SKYACTIV-D 1.8L, and the revolutionary SKYACTIV-X 2.0L engine with Spark Control Compression Ignition and M Hybrid. All petrol models are mated with either a 6-speed AT or 6-speed MT, but the diesel variant is mated only with the 6-speed AT.

The CX-30 featured in Gran Turismo 7 is the one with the SKYACTIV-X 2.0L engine with Spark Control Compression Ignition and M Hybrid. Sadly, it's offered with FF configuration, unlike the Mazda3 offered in-game with its i-ACTIV AWD. If only GT7 would add drivetrain swaps in future updates. That seems unlikely but in the meantime...

Let's drive the CX-30 around Brands Hatch to demonstrate its SKYACTIV-VEHICLE ARCHITECTURE and G-Vectoring Control the CX-30 possesses. It won't be an easy task, but calculations suggest that it can complete a full lap around this track within two minutes. Let's see if I can beat the buzzer with this Mazda crossover around the Hatch. Roll the tape.

I managed to lap Brands Hatch with the CX-30 in 1m59.421s. Not much, but it was a sure buzzer-beater like any anti-climactic basketball moments you saw on TV.

Although the CX-30 has a very misleading name that throws a curveball into the Mazda SUV range, it delivers the same promises as today's Mazda 3 does. It’s paramount to the crossover hatchbacks, and if you are asking for the competition, chances are that the CX-30 will be the last one to pop up from the rest.

Like all good Mazdas of today, the CX-30 is one of the new symbols of quiet luxury, and there's no need to show off when you know your worth. It offers almost anything that proves irresistible to all market demographics, from styling, comfort, dynamics, and reliability. Even high-end subdivisions are unsafe from this crossover's appearance.

With the CX-30, you'll know what it's like to "be a driver" when you drive one.
