Kawasaki updates its ZX-10R and ZX-10RR superbikes for 2026 with a new aero package featuring large winglets for increased downforce, Euro5+ compliant engine tweaks, and enhanced electronics including cruise control and navigation, with availability expected in spring 2026.
Aston Martin has unveiled a new 656-horsepower Vantage F1 safety car to address complaints about the previous model's pace, with improved aero, Recaro Pole Position bucket seats, and a digital rear-view mirror display. The powertrain, cooling package, and brakes remain unchanged from the standard Vantage street car, and early feedback from Formula One safety car driver Bernd Mayländer has been positive. While it may not outpace the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series safety car, the updated Vantage is expected to narrow the gap and will be seen on FIA Grade 1 circuits this year.
IndyCar's new aero package for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been criticized by drivers for not improving racing. The package, which includes additional underwing wickers and a new rear wing main plane pillar, has created a 'DRS train' effect where cars run nose-to-tail behind the leaders. Drivers have said that only the first two lead cars can overtake each other, and running in traffic is still a challenge. However, some drivers have praised the new parts for giving teams more options to run more downforce in their cars.
