Kevin Magnussen leaving Haas at season’s end (F1)
Kevin Magnussen will be out at Haas following the conclusion of the current Formula 1 season.
 
Haas confirmed the Dane’s impending exit, foreshadowing the end of a tenure that’s lasted for all but two of its seasons in F1.
 
“I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone at MoneyGram Haas F1 Team — I’m proud to have raced for such a great team of people these last few years,” Magnussen said in a team statement. “In particular I’d like to thank Gene Haas for his commitment to me, notably in bringing me back once again in 2022 when I thought, at that time at least, my time in Formula 1 had ended. I’ve enjoyed some great moments with this team — memories I’ll never forget.
 
“While I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my racing career, I remain fully focused on giving everything I’ve got for the rest of 2024 with MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.”
 
Magnussen arrived at Haas in 2017, replacing Esteban Gutierrez after the organization’s debut season. He stayed until 2021, when he was ousted in favor of an all-rookie lineup featuring Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin. But when the Russian Mazepin was ousted amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Magnussen returned and has stayed on through 2024.
 
There’s no confirmation of a replacement for Magnussen, but Haas has been lined to exiting Alpine veteran Esteban Ocon. The team has already confirmed Formula 2 driver Oliver Bearman for one of its 2025 seats. Current driver Nico Hulkenberg is off to Sauber, meaning another will be open with Magnussen’s exit.
 
But for now, team principal Ayao Komatsu is focused on celebrating Magnussen’s time with the operation.
 
“I’d like to thank Kevin for everything he’s given us as a team — both on and off the track,” Komatsu said in the release. “He’s truly been a bedrock of our driver lineup over the years. Nobody’s driven more races for us and we’ve had some memorable highlights together — not least a remarkable fifth place finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2022 when Kevin returned to start his second spell with the team.
 
“He wasn’t expecting to be driving a Formula 1 car that weekend, but he put in a remarkable performance that was a tremendous boost to the entire organization and once again showcased his own talents behind the wheel.
 
“There’s plenty of racing to go this year so I’m looking forward to seeing what else we can achieve with Kevin as we push together in the championship. Beyond that, and with Kevin’s special relationship with the team, I’m hoping we can find a way to keep working together in some capacity.
 
“We can hopefully define that in the near future, but his extensive experience in Formula 1 and knowledge of our working operations are undoubtedly of value in our on-going growth and development.”

James Courtney set for Supercars retirement after 2025 (Supercars)
One-time Supercars champion James Courtney is ready to hang up his helmet at the end of the 2025 Supercars season.
 
Courtney has been a stalwart of the series for over a decade, winning the 2010 title. He will have spent 20 years in Supercars by the time of his retirement.
 
He already has a new target post-retirement: Real estate.
 
“Real estate is actually my first real job now because racing has been my whole life up until now,” Courtney told 9News. “I'm coming towards the end of the racing side of my life and I saw (real estate) as a natural progression.I've always had a massive interest in real estate, whether it's buying and selling my own houses.
 
“I'll finish this year and do next year then that'll be it for me full-time.”
 
Courtney currently competes for Blanchard Racing Team, having made a change after previously competing with Tickford Racing for three years.
 
The peak of his career came with Dick Johnson Racing in 2010, when he upset Jamie Whincup in an intense late fight to score a shocking title. From there he went to Holden Racing Team, where Courtney struggled through nine season with just six wins and a best championship finish of sixth.
 
The biggest thing missing on Courtney’s resume is a Bathurst 1000 win. He’ll have two more chances to conquer the iconic event before his retirement.

High Limit coming to Perth with Larson, Sweet (Sprint Cars)
High Limit Racing is coming to Western Australia.
 
The American winged sprint car series announced Thursday that it will host a special three-day international event on Dec. 28-30. The races will be held at Perth Motorplex and pay an Australian sprint car record $100,000 to the winner of the finale. The event will be called “High Limit International: Perth.”
 
The move is the first venture outside of the United States for the series launched by Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet in 2022. It won’t be considered a points event, but six drivers from the series have agreed to compete in the races. They include Larson, Sweet, Rico Abreu, Cory Eliason, Parker-Price Miller and Australia’s own James McFadden - the current Western Australia Sprint Car Champion.
 
“All of us at High Limit are excited to take the first step in expanding our brand to an international level,” Larson said in a series release. “Australian sprint car fans are passionate and super supportive. They deserve a six-figure paying race as do the Australian drivers and teams. I’m looking forward to getting down there with Brad (Sweet) and some of our High Rollers to race with those guys.”
 
The race will air on FloRacing, adding to a December broadcast schedule that includes the Snowball Derby, Gateway Dirt Nationals and Tulsa Shootout.
 
“We know that our Australian fans are eager for more motorsports action on their shores and to be able to bring another high-paying High Limit Racing event to them and stream it to the world is extremely exciting,” FloRacing general manager Michael Rigsby said. “This is going to super fuel the growth of High Limit and FloRacing in the market.”

Fast Fact
Kevin Magnussen has ebbed and flowed with Haas’ on-track pace over his tenure with the team. His best season came in 2018, when he scored 56 points with an average finish of 11.2. He has one career podium, but it came before the team’s launch - Magnussen finished second with McLaren Mercedes at the 2014 opener on Australia.
