From the Editor:We’re only a few short weeks into 2023, but motorsports is already hitting the ground running. RACER’s ready for the green flag, too, and our first issue of the year brings you an in-depth preview of a new era for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, sets the scene on for the NASCAR Cup Series, and takes a deep dive into some of the pre-season storylines from Formula 1 and the NTT IndyCar Series.

With the new NASCAR Cup Series season just days away, we take a look at six drivers who should be in the thick of the title fight. Plus, we catch up with Logan Sargeant, who’s set to become the first American driver in F1 since 2015 when he lines up for the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 5.

Add in an intriguing look at what exactly F1’s high-profile team principals do, a fascinating interview with 2021 IndyCar champ Alex Palou, who’s putting last year’s contractual turmoil behind him as he guns for another title, and a look back on how the late Ken Block turned motorsports on its head with his incredible Gymkhana action videos, and that’s some serious reading right there. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
