Much of the best precision engineering in motorsport takes place in the UK, but General Motors hopes to emerge as a new rival when they enter F1 in 2029.

The various F1 teams have spent the close season devoting their precision engineering skills to producing great cars, but how did that work out in Australia?

There have been dozens of motorsport categories over the years, and whilst many close due to lack of money or lack of entries, some have a more unusual story.

The difference between precision engineering today and that of many years ago may be seen in comparing modern F1 cars with a vintage model just sold at auction.

Also known as a racing special, a homologation special is a road-legal car built with motorsport specifications purely so a manufacturer can use it for racing.

Some cars are so great they inspire entire competitions around them whilst others are either too good to last or so bad that they managed to end championships.

Precision engineering got Red Bull Racing to the Top of the F1 tree, but, unusually, while they have the top driver, the team crown is heading elsewhere.

The ultimate test of a driver, team and manufacturer is to win three of the most prestigious and completely different races in the entire world of motorsport.

Red Bull’s technical advantage may have waned, but the precision engineering of MacClaren Mercedes is just as important in helping Lando Norris’s title charge.

A precise gearbox is a vital part of even getting a racing car going, but one of the best to ever do it managed to nearly win a race whilst stuck in one gear.
