Autosport writers' most memorable moments of 2023
The season just gone was a memorable one for many of our staff writers, who are fortunate enough to cover motorsport around the world. Here are our picks of the best (and in some cases, most eventful) from 2023
The 2023 motorsport season has finally come to an end after what felt like one of the longest years the sport has ever had, thanks to packed calendars for multiple series swallowing up the days.
Autosport's intrepid team of writers and contributors spent the year in the thick of the action, taking in new motorsport events, historic moments and fresh personal challenges.
While there were plenty of long days, sleepless nights and more Ryanair flights than anyone should have to endure, there were just as many good days for our writers. As we reflect on the year behind and look ahead to the new one, Autosport's writers pick out their favourite memories from 2023.

28-29 January – A mad dash to make the start of sportscar racing's golden era

Watkins almost missed the start of the new GTP top class at Daytona
My bag was packed and Expedia bright on my computer screen. Now it was just about waiting. The late arrival of my new US visa almost derailed my plans to attend the Daytona 24 Hours this year. Another time, I think I’d have cut my losses and stayed home, but this January was different.
Daytona, or the Rolex 24 as the Americans like to call it, was the start of the golden era that I’ve been banging on about for yonks now. So it would have been wrong not to have done everything in my power to be there for what was my 26th visit.
My original flight had been and gone, though thankfully re-arranged for my Sebring 1000 Miles trip. My visa, all successfully applied for, was days late and I’d kind of given up hope of reporting on the new Porsche, Cadillac, Acura and BMW LMDhs duking it out at the World Center of Racing.
I was scheduled to have flown on the Wednesday but I reckoned that on the off chance of the all-important bit of paperwork arriving on the Thursday morning, it would be worth high-tailing it out to Florida a day late. I had my route planned, so it was all down to my passport arriving back and me getting out the door by 10:30.
A ping on my phone at 7:00 was news of my passport. An estimated arrival time of 10:00 turned into 10:09 but after pressing buy on that Expedia page and putting my shoes on, I was out the door.
I made my flight and on to the opening round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Sure there weren’t any Le Mans Hypercars there, and won’t be until 2025 on Aston Martin’s arrival, but in my mind, it was a kind of ground zero for the brave new world that has excited me for so long. I’m truly glad I went to the effort. GW
16 April – Kirkwood’s IndyCar breakthrough and a ride in ‘The Beast’

Kirkwood's maiden IndyCar win felt like an eminent moment
Kyle Kirkwood’s maiden IndyCar Series win at the Long Beach Grand Prix felt like one of those truly significant victories to behold in person around one of the most iconic street circuits on the planet.
The young Floridian led from pole, brushed wheels with then-reigning Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson at Turn 1, survived an assault by Pato O’Ward as his Mexican rival spun into the wall, and then executed a flawless drive to hold off Andretti team-mate Romain Grosjean for the win.
After the race, Autosport had to ask the question to his team boss, Michael Andretti: “Is Kyle now your first choice to take to Formula 1?”
“No comment on that,” he deadpanned, to a background of much laughter in the media centre. The room genuinely seemed quite giddy at the idea of America’s most successful-ever junior series racer realising his potential at the highest level. IndyCar at Long Beach, tick. A crack at F1 in the future, heck – why not? A matter of time…
Before Kirkwood did his thing, I too got suited up on race day as Honda offered me a ride alongside six-time IndyCar race winner James Hinchcliffe in its rolling laboratory CR-V creation, somewhat ominously nicknamed ‘The Beast’.
This IndyCar-powered SUV packed some serious punch around the city streets – boosted by a supercapacitor hybrid system as if the V6, twin-turbo motor wasn’t enough! – and provided quite the adrenaline rush to start what turned out to be quite the momentous day.
“The IndyCars are pretty heavy, and of course, this is heavier, but when you’re out of the corner and get the power down, it’s amazing – this thing really gets up and goes,” said ‘Hinch’, and he wasn’t wrong. It sure was quite a day. CB
22 April - Out of the (press) office and into the action

Simmons was confident that Sutton would be a contender after observing him trackside at Donington
I hate press offices. The people in them are generally very agreeable, but… When you do what you always wanted to in your life, in my case reporting on motorsport, what’s the point in doing so from a TV screen in a cramped room? You might as well be at home.
That’s why I spend as much time as I can watching from out on the circuit. Just as I did in my European Formula 3 reporting days in the 2010s, I do that now in the British Touring Car Championship. It informs you to witness the attitudes of the cars: why is this one looking so lazy this weekend; how is that one putting the power down so well? Then you know what you’re talking about when you chat to the drivers, engineers and team bosses (and when you’re doing that, you’re still out of the press office!).
This is one reason why I love British circuits so much. The entrance to the Complex at Thruxton; Druids and Cascades at Oulton; Hawthorn at Croft; Sheene Curve on Brands GP; Surtees on Brands Indy; the Old Hairpin at Donington. The list goes on. And at the last location I mentioned, towards the end of FP1 for round one of the BTCC, at around 10am on Saturday 22 April, that’s when I knew Ash Sutton was going to waltz to this year’s title. His entry speed to the Old Hairpin was simply astonishing.
Occasionally I’ve been joined trackside in free practice by ITV commentary leading man David Addison. He’s a guy who absolutely gets it. His enthusiasm too is informed. Never take people like him for granted because, in an ocean of gibbering, shouting, TV/live streaming mediocrity, he’s a rare gem. MS
23 April - Taking in a returning national racing classic

Kew was joined on the Snetterton banks by Autosport Chief Editor Kevin Turner and former staffer Edd Straw
Talk about a busman’s holiday. An early break in the Formula 1 calendar meant a Sunday in late April was going spare so what better than a trip to Snetterton for the return of the Autosport 3 Hours, organised by the Historic Sports Car Club.
Now, reporting on the grand prix scene for this title is an enormous privilege. But even after just three rounds, it was clear that on-track battles for the lead and truly exciting races would be in short supply as Red Bull reigned supreme. Luckily, the national motorsport scene came to the rescue as a sodden spectacular unfolded on the 200 circuit.
In the company of Autosport chief editor Kevin Turner and former Autosport grand prix editor Edd Straw (not a fan of selfies, Straw’s years on the glamorous F1 beat have made him a little less accommodating for downpours), a proper, protracted cat-and-mouse dice for victory unfolded. As the grip vanished - conditions neared red-flag territory from time to time - Oli Webb danced his beautifully prepared Tuthill two-litre Porsche 911 into unlikely victory contention along with the Lotus Elan GTS of eventual winner Nigel Greensall. This came as the TVR Griffith that stormed to pole was neutered by its V8 spinning up the rears.
No egos, no track limits or driver jewellery farces, just three well-driven, different-looking, mega-sounding cars. That’s all it takes to excite. I am, however, still waiting for my shoes to dry out and for Kev to let me expense that morning’s bacon sandwich. It was a work trip, after all… MK
28 May - A Monaco Grand Prix debut to savour
Photo by: Megan White
F1 retains its special connection with Monaco even if the cars are outgrown the circuit
Though the Monaco Grand Prix has long faced criticism for its lack of overtaking and logistic difficulties, it had long since been on my bucket list. I was finally able to attend in 2023 given the presence of both Formula 2 and, returning to the support bill for the first time since 2012, F3.
Yes, the F1 race did end up being quite boring, but the rest of the weekend was fantastic. Though I had been trackside before, nothing had come close to this – quite literally. Standing at Tabac, the cars got terrifyingly close, so much so that I jumped back the first time a driver passed. It was even scarier at the chicane, where nothing separates you from the action but a few brave photographers!
There are more street circuits on the F1 calendar now than ever before, and some of them produce better racing, but there is nothing like Monte Carlo. It really is a unique event, one of the spiritual homes of F1, somewhere fans can get closer to the action than anywhere else, and which brings its own unique atmosphere.
Yes, it is very over the top, and yes, it is a silly place to have a race. The streets are too narrow, especially for the size of modern F1 cars, and even getting to the circuit can be a pain - don’t get me started on the F3 paddock’s location to the east of the principality on the French border!
But sometimes, it’s nice to have something silly and over-the-top for some light relief. Even if it doesn’t quite work properly, it’s one of the most stunning locations for a race. Long may it stay on the calendar. MW
2-4 June - Autosport F1 shuffle passes Spanish Grand Prix test
Photo by: Alex Kalinauckas
Smooth weekend in Barcelona was a high point of the year for Kalinauckas
Looking back on a completed Formula 1 season boils down to seeing a series of chaotic scenes blurring together as a flash of mad, moving memories. The traffic going the wrong way around Bahrain roundabouts, the several Spa soakings, the pre-race fireworks adjacent to the Austin grid nearly taking out the television helicopter.
Those recollections and so many more, how then to select a favourite memory of the year? Easy. One that was completely serene: the whole Spanish Grand Prix weekend. The track the paddock has been to a billion times, those familiar roads, gorgeous Catalonia surrounding one of the world’s best cities.
For myself, it was to be the first test of changes we’d made to the Autosport F1 weekend sporting reporting structure for 2023 on a ‘normal’ timetable event – thanks so far travelling to Bahrain’s night setting, Australia’s wildly different timezone and my trip to Italy for the cancelled Imola round lasting just four hours at Florence airport. And it couldn’t have gone smoother.
My colleague Matt Kew had selected a beautiful, spacious AirBnB in the hills above Vilassar de Mar, we’d managed not to fall out over its bathroom sharing the thinnest of walls and my request that we take the steep climb to our accommodation slightly slower, and enjoyed spotting media colleagues fitting their paddock parking sticker in the middle of their hire car’s windscreen (this utterly bizarrely decision to reduce visibility was spotted in airport car parks at subsequent rounds) in the circuit traffic jams you had to be sensible and get up early to avoid the worst.
I turned 32 in one of the restaurants of Vilassar de Mar’s main square, where we returned to eat time and again. And, having smashed our weekend workload swimmingly, the post-race Monday was spent in a beachside restaurant cramming in just a bit more jamon iberico (Matt was sensationally restrained on this front). It just couldn’t have been easier. AK
10-11 June - NASCAR at a special Le Mans 24 Hours

The Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro NASCAR Garage 56 outing at Le Mans was one of the stars of the show
Now, I'm not the biggest of NASCAR fans. Too many races, which are too long, and with too many of the events held on circuits with too few corners all means it's not exactly my favourite category. But I couldn't help but smile every time the Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro NASCAR thundered by at this year's Le Mans 24 Hours.
It was the perfect project to have the innovative Garage 56 slot in the 100th anniversary year of the great race. The NASCAR beast turned heads everywhere it went and made for quite a sight around the La Sarthe circuit when compared with the much more slender prototypes and even GTEs. The fact three motorsport legends were behind the wheel just added to the magic, Mike Rockenfeller, Jenson Button and Jimmie Johnson helping generate even more interest in this year's contest and showcase endurance racing to a different audience.
That was just one way in which the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours was very special - and it was a privilege to be there and watch the action unfold. The victorious return of Ferrari to the top class, multiple manufacturers leading the race on merit and the outcome never quite certain right to the end all meant it was a memorable one.
The amazing stories continued throughout the classes with Fabio Scherer powering on, despite breaking his foot when it was run over by the Corvette in the pits, to take LMP2 glory. Or that same Corvette overcoming lengthy repairs to take a remarkable comeback win as the GTE cars enjoyed their Le Mans swansong.
It was all quite the spectacle, although I still don't plan to watch any NASCAR races next year... SL
21 June – Relishing McLaren’s blast from the past celebrations
Photo by: JEP
Hakkinen's McLaren MP4-14 stood out as the firm favourite despite it being relatively raw
Standing close to any Formula 1 car being fired up is an experience, but there’s something extra special about the racers from the V10 era. That was brought home when Autosport joined McLaren for a special track test at Pembrey in June.
As part of our celebration of 60 years of the legendary British squad, we listened and watched as Rob Garofall put three grand prix-winning McLarens through their paces.
You’d think an ex-Jenson Button 2010 MP4-25 and ex-Lewis Hamilton 2008 MP4-23 would be important enough, but those V8-powered cars ended up setting the scene for the final run of the day. Even the engineers present, which included those who had history with the team stretching back four decades, couldn’t wait to get to the MP4-14 that helped Mika Hakkinen to his second world drivers’ crown in 1999.
“It even sounds angry,” said Garofall before climbing aboard the 810bhp, 600kg machine. Hakkinen still describes the car as “very much on the edge” and it made a wonderful sight and sound screaming around a small corner of Wales.
The fact it required old laptops from 2000 to run properly merely added to the feeling that the MP4-14 really is from a bygone age. At the same time, it doesn’t feel out of date – and it’s still seriously fast.
We’ve not got a downer on the modern breed of F1 car but seeing something so lithe and agile combined with such brute force was a good reminder of what made some of the cars of the 1990s and early 2000s so special and why they are remembered so fondly. KT
8 July - Ferrari fans revel in Le Mans fever at Monza
Photo by: James Newbold
The WEC pitwalks at Monza were jam-packed. There were several rows in front of those pictured
Ending a personal absence from Le Mans dating back to 2019 came close to making the cut for my entry, and not just because of the race's relentless drama. Bizarrely, it was the first time I'd worked the same event as long-serving National editor Stephen Lickorish since joining the staff back in 2018!
But what happened after that famous weekend when Ferrari came out on top stands out most of all. At Monza's round of the World Endurance Championship, for the 499 LMH's victorious homecoming, the tifosi was out in force. The roars of approval from the grandstands opposite the media centre, as Miguel Molina attacked and duly passed Mike Conway's Toyota for second into the first corner, were perhaps the loudest I've ever heard at a track.
Even before the race got underway, the massed Ferrari fans had been in full voice. And not even because of anything happening on the circuit.
The pit walks (two were held that weekend) were well-attended, and outside the AF Corse Ferrari garages in particular was buzzing with merchandise-clad fans chanting the names of their heroes. A massive cut-out of Antonio Giovinazzi's face was paraded by one ultra-dedicated fan who had been lugging it about in the weekend's intense heat. Rather him than me.
Behind the pits, the paddock too was teeming with fans eager for a glimpse at the drivers who had delivered Ferrari's first outright Le Mans win since 1965. Getting into its hospitality for a roundtable with AF Corse technical manager Luca Masse proved a lengthy exercise.
The WEC's Italian round relocates to Imola next year, where a similar reception can surely be expected. It's clear that the tifosi doesn't only care about Formula 1. JN
13 July - Celebrating 50 years of the World Rally Championship with Petter Solberg

Petter Solberg at the group shot trying to pick out his favourite car from this collection
Seeing a beaming smile on the face of one of my motorsport heroes growing up, when presented with a collection of special WRC cars we’d organised for him to test, will live with me for a long time.
This year the WRC celebrated 50 years and to mark the occasion I hatched a plan to organise the ultimate WRC track test for Autosport’s WRC’s 50 years special edition, released in August. Five months of phone calls, emails, several favours and the unwavering support from the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Toyota, led to an epic day spent with 2003 world rally champion Petter Solberg.
The many hours of stressing over admin were worth it. It resulted in five cars, one from each WRC regulation era, primed for Solberg to wrestle around Goodwood’s Hannu Mikkola-designed rally stage. The weapons at the Norwegian’s disposal were an Alpine A110 (Group 4), an ex-Tony Pond MG Metro 6R4 (Group B) Colin McRae’s Subaru Legacy (Group A), a Skoda Octavia driven by Kenneth Eriksson (WRC) and the 2002 and 2023 world championship winning Toyota GR Yaris (Rally1).
The end result did not disappoint.
Once again, I would like to extend a massive thanks to the car owners, Toyota and PR chief Hans De Bauw, Petter and his wife Pernilla, and to Goodwood’s Rick Smith for making this hugely ambitious stunt possible.
It has been a challenging year for rallying, but this chance to celebrate the WRC’s unique history through some of its iconic cars brought smiles back to many faces, and I hope joy to our loyal rally readers. To share this moment with Solberg, one of the most likeable, talented and passionate drivers to have competed in the WRC, was simply a perfect day. TH
29 July - A worthy Formula E title win on home soil

Dennis was crowned Formula E champion with a race to spare in the London double-header
Wheel-to-wheel fights with your Formula E championship rival, two late red flags to heighten the suspense before securing the coveted title in front of your home fans with a podium – it’s fair to say the London E-Prix was a memorable experience.
Jake Dennis’ maiden title success in the all-electric championship felt like something out of a Hollywood script at times. The Andretti Global driver failed to score over several races before going on an incredible run of form that put him on the path to glory, which came to a climax in London.
While it wasn’t this writer’s first time at the London ExCeL (thank you EGX!), it was for the London E-Prix and it was impressive how the venue was able to hold such an event. Yes, aesthetically the location is far from ideal and the track itself hardly compares with the likes of Spa, but in terms of accessibility, commodities and value it has everything fans could want. In essence, it is arguably what Formula E is all about, appealing to a new audience as well as bringing the championship to the heart of cities.
The epilogue in London proved just as eventful, but for different reasons. After two stoppages due to monsoon conditions, title protagonist Nick Cassidy put in possibly the drive of the season as he danced through the rain to win and help secure Envision the Teams’ title over factory outfit Jaguar. It felt like the perfect end to an engrossing season, my first covering Formula E and which has essentially given me the very fortunate privilege to travel around the world for a living. SM
22 October – Harper and Leung deliver champion’s drive at Donington
Photo by: JEP / Motorsport Images
Harper and Leung put in a performance worthy of sealing the British GT crown
Entering the British GT season finale with a 20-second success penalty and with a 13-point deficit to make up to 2 Seas Motorsport’s James Cottingham, Darren Leung and Dan Harper were the rank outsiders to secure the title. But through the brilliance of the Century Motorsport pairing, not even a series of poorly timed safety car interventions could stand in their way on a damp Donington afternoon.
After qualifying in second and with Cottingham fifth, Leung set about his stint with the poise of a driver with far more than his limited experience. Twice, he established leads that would almost completely eradicate the success penalty but on both occasions, including minutes before the pitstop window, the safety car wiped out these gains.
It was then down to Harper to climb a seemingly insurmountable mountain. He did so in style, battling his way from P13 to finish second. His progress was helped when Cottingham was penalised for overtaking under yellow flags, but this was luck that had been earned.

28 November - Marc Marquez’s Ducati MotoGP debut
Photo by: Lewis Duncan
Freezing cold but totally worth it to witness Marc Marquez's Ducati debut
There have been quite a few moments in 2023 that were special to witness. Peter Hickman shattering the Isle of Man TT lap record on a superstock bike was close to taking this entry. As was the media dinner VR46 organised at the British Grand Prix – I still have dreams about that tiramisu.
But, for me, the standout moment of the 2023 season actually happened after it had finished. On 28 November, the first official test of the 2024 MotoGP season took place at a cold and windy Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.
It was the busiest a test has been in a long time because it was a genuinely historic day for MotoGP. In the same test 11 years earlier that he made his MotoGP debut with Honda, eight-time world champion Marc Marquez was making his first appearance as a Ducati rider with Gresini.
Autosport had copy ready to go – we just needed a picture. So Megan White, German Garcia Casanova and I parked ourselves – along with the rest of the assembled media – outside of the Gresini garage waiting for Marquez to appear. It was bitterly chilly that morning, but needs must.
He appeared at around 11:14am – over an hour into the test – and a new chapter had begun… right in front of me because I was stood on pitwall where I could get a clearer picture and not have my toes stood on by about 50 camera people. It was a genuinely exciting moment.
It was a story we’d followed since the rumours emerged during the San Marino GP weekend, which I was there for (a two-day Misano beach holiday with Ms White prior to that could have made this list too). In hindsight, the writing was really on the wall for what we’d see in Valencia after that Misano test. LD
All year - First full year of covering F1, Jake Boxall-Legge
Photo by: Jake Boxall-Legge
JBL's first year in F1 peaked covering the Singapore and Suzuka double-header
I'd been to four or five F1 races before in my time at Autosport, but only ever in a technical editor capacity. This was not a role where I felt the need to suffuse myself into the world of the paddock, because I was only ever in it as an occasional interloper. Instead, once the lingering effects of COVID had started to settle, I'd taken on the role of reporting on Formula E; this was a paddock that I loved working in and hadn't really considered F1 as the next step.
The FE environment is more compact; a more compressed schedule and open nature to media enquiries effectively offered me carte blanche with how I covered the series. I loved setting up the one-on-one interviews and enjoyed the quick-fire city-break nature of the races with New York, Seoul and Cape Town among the personal highlights. But it had become something of a comfort zone, and I probably needed a bit of a push when the F1 opportunity knocked.
Prior experience showed me that it would be different. What I didn't appreciate, or had perhaps forgotten, was the sheer scale of an F1 round. Sell-out grandstands and no-expense-spared hospitality units stood astride the circuit and the paddock, with a media entourage of global repute all reporting on one of the fastest-growing franchises in the same space as some half-cocked, dull-witted country boy with a Tyrrell obsession.
I'm in Saudi Arabia. Not for the first time; I'd been to Riyadh multiple times with Formula E and was quite acquainted with its crisscrossing highways lined with mirror-facade boutique hotels and myriad Dunkin' franchises. Jeddah was a little different; its history as a port town and gateway to Mecca lent a more historical atmosphere to Riyadh's modern urbanisation.
Of course, modern elements prevailed, as the corniche had been converted into the wiggling, blind corner-heavy street course that now houses F1. The March sun was intense and, once it receded into the Red Sea, the sky was now lined with spotlights and fireworks. F1 newshounds Matt Kew and Jon Noble were kind enough to ensure I didn't commit a first-race faux pas, and the weekend passed without too much incident.
Then came a quick-fire set of rounds - Baku, Miami, Monaco, and Montreal were the next destinations - and the months eroded away with barely a trace as my passport heaved with officiously planted stamps and visa stickers. Slowly, the silver-and-purple pass that hung around my neck became less of a millstone as I grew into the paddock.
There was at least one cock-up per weekend as the anxiety remained present, and I could have been a little more brave with making my own mark on how I'd wanted to cover the championship. But it's always taken me a while to get going and get comfortable, in all facets of life.
The Singapore and Japan double-header was the most memorable, and the first time I felt like I'd done a half-decent job. The night-time schedule in Singapore amid the crushing humidity came and went, with weekend's scent of burned rubber tempered by late-night dim sum and biryanis, and a dash to Tokyo followed the city-state grand prix.
It was easy to be overwhelmed, but years of navigating London's labyrinthine underground helped immensely with deciphering the logic of the metro system. Ramen and katsudon served by a robot preceded the Shinkansen ride to Nagoya, followed by the train to Shiroko - a short hop from the Suzuka circuit. It was a sensational atmosphere, one I wrote about in that post-race column.
Not all F1 weekends are quite so brilliant but, when fuelled by the last soggy cheese sandwich and a thin, burned espresso in a shabby media centre in the arse-end of nowhere, I'll hang onto those memories and cherish them.
