Broc Feeney had an amazing racing year. The up-and-coming Australian dominated the Supercars series with 14 wins, 15 poles, and 20 podiums, even though the controversial playoff format and final race cost him the championship. Feeney also conquered the GT World Challenge in Australia, winning the title. At just 23, he’s clearly a talent to watch in the future of racing.


Over 35 Driver of the Year: Sébastien Ogier

Sébastien Ogier surprised fans by turning what was supposed to be a relaxed year into another dominant WRC campaign.

Also UNC STILL GOT IT!


Best Team: AF Corse

AF Corse, Ferrari’s powerhouse in endurance racing, was unstoppable in 2025. The team took Le Mans, the drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles, and the World Cup championship in the WEC Hypertcars. Even if some argue the FIA gives Ferrari an advantage, no one dominates like AF Corse, pure and simple. The team had a great year and will look to dominate 2026.


Best Livery: Red Bull Racing’s Suzuka Special

There were many impressive looking race cars in 2025, but Red Bull’s Suzuka special livery stole the spotlight.


Best Series: WEC


Race cars speeding on a track against a backdrop of trees and a "Goodyear" banner. The mood is intense and competitive.

With thrilling battles across multiple classes, the World Endurance Championship delivered countless memorable moments in 2025. Even though there were dominant runs by AF Corse, WEC proved why it’s one of the most exciting series in global motorsports with great moments in its different classes.


Best Moment: Ayhancan Güven’s Last-Lap DTM Pass


2025 had no shortage of jaw-dropping moments, but Ayhancan Güven’s last-lap pass to win the DTM title at Hockenheim was cinematic. A perfect mix of skilled racing and drama made this one of the year’s most unforgettable racing moments.



Best Pundit/Commentator: Leigh Diffey


Leigh Diffey can make paint drying sound exciting and many fans voted him as commentator of the year. He provided some great moments across NBC's sports broadcast especially in NASCAR. From Daytona to Phoenix he provided great entertaiment for racing fans.


Best Track: Spa Francorchamps

Spa Francorchamps has long been a fan favorite, and 2025 was no different. Hosting thrilling races and amazing battles, Spa was voted by fans and the RCAP Staff as Track of the Year, and it’s easy to see why this historic circuit continues to deliver.

Oscar Piastri’s 2025 was a huge step forward. With multiple wins, podiums, and helping McLaren secure the constructors’ title, the young star made big strides compared to 2024.

Driver of the Year: Alex Palou

Alex Palou dominated 2025 in IndyCar. The 28-year-old Spaniard not only won his first Indy 500 and oval race, he finished on the podium 13 of 17 IndyCar races, including eight wins, six poles, and six fastest laps. With this incredible state line he even had an average finish of 4.0 across the season. It’s clear Palou owned this year in racing. Can he maintain this form in 2026?
