Motor Sport's best 2025 onboards: F1, MotoGP and NASCAR

It isn’t always about F1, you know.

The 2025 season of motor sport was a thriller across the board, with title clashes, on-track battles and drama aplenty in rallying, NASCAR and MotoGP – and it’s all been captured in HD.

Onboard shots of racing action are better than ever, so we’ve compiled the finest seen this year for you below.

From the breathtaking Macau street course to cars flying through the air at Daytona, the year has been packed full of awe-inspiring scenes – and a bit of grand prix racing too.

Here are the best of the best onboards:

Emanuele Olivieri – Macau F4

In the qualification race for the Macau F4 qualification race, Emanuele Olivieri puts it all on the line as he goes to overtake Sebastian Wheldon son of late IndyCar legend Dan.

The Italian provides a real heart-in-mouth moment as he goes to the dirty, outside line on cold tyres at the tricky Mandarin turn – and pulls it off too.

Alex Riberas, Aston Martin Valykrie Hypercar – Six Hours of Spa, WEC

It’s been widely agreed that the Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar is the best-sounding racing machine on the planet right – so what better way to enjoy than Spa-Francorchamps, one of the world’s greatest circuits?

Hear the V12 sing as it screams up Eau Rouge and Radillion, then thunders through Pouhon, Stavelot and Blanchimont.

Elfyn Evans, Toyota – Rally Japan, WRC

Elfyn Evans was once again left as the WRC’s bridesmaid by missing out on this year title to Sébastien Ogier by just four points.

The Welsh flyer still gave us plenty of brilliant moments through the rally season though, including this masterful show of precision on Stage 4 of Rally Japan.

Alex Brundle, Ford GT40 – Le Mans Classic

This year, Motor Sport teamed up with Alex Brundle as he got his sensational Ford GT40 ready for Le Mans classic with a fascinating behind-the-scenes video series.

In this short clip, we see Brundle blasting off at the La Sarthe race start, the V8 engine roaring as he takes on a fearsome grid of Porsche 917s, Lola T70s and Ferrari 412Ps.

Mexico City GP – F1

The Mexico City GP has its detractors due to not often providing exciting races, but one thing can’t be denied – that long, long run down to first corner often has drama on lap one.

Watch Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris go four-wide at this year’s GP.

Going four-wide into Turn 1! 😲

Australian V8 Supercars – Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast 500

Few racing propositions are more compelling than Aussie V8 Supercars at the heart-stopping Surfers Paradise circuit – so we’ve included a whole tranche of onboards.

As you can see in the video, drivers have a bit of a job on even getting past the first chicane…

Christian Rasmussen, Ed Carpenter Racing – Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250

Dane Christian Rasmussen has fast made a name for himself as one of the most exciting prospects in IndyCar.

Winner of the F2-equivalent Indy NXT series in 2023, this season represented his first full season in the series – and how he delivered.

Favouring a ‘win-it-or-bin-it’ approach, his early season races had a tendency to be somewhat chaotic. A podium at Gateway indicated what was to come though, and at Milwaukee Rasmussen’s late-race tyre change meant he scythed through the field – and overtook dominant 2025 force Alex Palou – to take a maiden win, whilst almost crashing several times along the way.

Ryan Preece, RFK Racing – Daytona 500, NASCAR

At this year’s Daytona 500, the hapless Ryan Preece had his biggest accident since… Ryan Preece at the Daytona 500 a couple of years ago.

Luckily, the Connecticut native emerged relatively unscathed from both, but each showed the incredible forces involved with cars at speed in motor sport – and just how fearless racing drivers are.

Florian Marino, No 99 Marc VDS R1 – 2025 Bol d’Or, Paul Ricard

Silky, flowing lines from Marino at the 24 hour motorcycle classic. We’ll let Motor Sport columnist Mat Oxley describe the rest.

Awesome onboard at dusk at the Bol d’Or. It’s got EVERYTHING, including a massive moment at 1m 10s! Things MotoGP can learn from this… Clear visors are sooo much better. Surely one-way dark visors are possible? No gyro cam, so you feel like you’re actually on the bike 😎😎 pic.twitter.com/z3INS9dhgY
