RestoMods to Give Away Fully Restored 1975 Dodge RamCharger
In an exciting development for automotive enthusiasts, RestoMods has announced a unique giveaway that will see a lucky subscriber become the new owner of a meticulously restored 1975 Dodge RamCharger. This announcement comes as the RestoMods YouTube channel approaches the 100,000 subscriber milestone.
The RamCharger, which has been restored entirely in-house by the RestoMods team, showcases the extensive capabilities and passion for classic car restoration that the channel is known for. Initially used as a forestry service vehicle, this RamCharger has been transformed from a rugged utility vehicle into a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing classic SUV.
When the RestoMods team first acquired the RamCharger, it boasted an original big block 440ci engine and all-wheel drive, along with a few dings and scratches that told of its adventurous past. Despite its aged condition, the vehicle was still running strong, making it an ideal candidate for a complete overhaul.
The restoration process began with a thorough teardown, revealing a surprisingly solid frame underneath years of grime. The RestoMods team took no shortcuts, stripping the vehicle down to its frame, which was then sandblasted and powder-coated to ensure durability and longevity. The body received a fresh coat of glossy black paint, complemented by a bed liner for additional protection against the elements.
Under the hood, the RamCharger's 440ci engine underwent a major rebuild by Cogswell Motorsports. It was equipped with a Speed Master top-end kit to boost its horsepower to an impressive 460-500 range. The drivetrain was upgraded from all-wheel drive to selectable four-wheel drive, enhancing both performance and versatility.
Inside, the RamCharger received just as much attention to detail. The interior was updated with new gauges, air conditioning, and a center console cooler, blending modern comfort with its inherent rugged charm. The seats were customized with Mexican blanket inserts, adding a unique touch to the vehicle's aesthetic.
As the restoration nears completion, the excitement continues to build on the RestoMods YouTube channel. Subscribers are encouraged to stay tuned for updates and to enter the giveaway for a chance to own this one-of-a-kind RamCharger. This giveaway not only celebrates the channel's growth but also offers a significant reward to its loyal community.
For those interested in witnessing the transformation of the 1975 Dodge RamCharger and participating in the giveaway, subscribing to the RestoMods YouTube channel is a must. The winner will undoubtedly drive away with not just a car, but a piece of art crafted by the passionate RestoMods team.

Listen to Genesis' Le Mans Hypercar Roar to Life for the First Time
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Genesis has been busy assembling its racing team ahead of next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, and this week's announcement celebrates a milestone that the young team will remember forever. The Genesis Magma Racing's GMR-001 Hypercar has officially roared to life for the first time at the team's HQ at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France. According to today's announcement, the first fire-up as a complete race car (engine mounted to the chassis) took place on July 9, under the supervision of chassis supplier Oreca, which is also based in Le Castellet near the team's shop. The first fire-up of the engine alone actually took place back in February. This footage posted to YouTube shows the tension leading up to the car's first firing, which, at least on video, went without a hitch. The GMR-001 will compete in the WEC Hypercar class for the entire 2026 season, which, of course, features the most famous endurance race of all, Le Mans. It's powered by a 3.2-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine, though the brand has not revealed more detailed specs. However, Genesis has not been shy about the shared technology between this engine and the 1.6-litre inline-four found in the i20 N rally car. The first rolling tests for the prototype are expected to take place next month, and sometime after that, hopefully, Genesis will tell us who will round up its driver lineup. The only two pilots confirmed so far are endurance racing veteran Pipo Derani and three-time Le Mans winner Andre Lotterer. Got a tip? Email us at tips@

Red Bull Insider Hints Sergio Perez F1 Return in 2026
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar has suggested that Sergio Perez will return to Formula One in 2026, revealing that there was "something going on." Perez parted ways with Red Bull after the 2024 season and is reported to be in talks with the Cadillac F1 team. Red Bull parted ways with the Mexican driver after losing out on Constructors' Championship victory last year. Perez faced significant challenges with the RB20, given the balance problems on the car, which also affected Max Verstappen. Perez has been away from F1 since his departure, but his links to Cadillac are pretty strong. The 35-year-old driver revealed in a recent interview that he would return to F1 only if a project suited his preferences, and most importantly, he would only return as a full-time driver. Cadillac F1 received the Formula One Management's (FOM) approval to join the sport early this year, and the American outfit has since been gearing up for its 2026 debut on the premier class grid. Team principal Graeme Lowdon has confirmed that ongoing discussions are taking place with Perez. Sergio Perez of Mexico and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the paddock during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Lusail International Circuit on December 1, 2024 in Lusail City, Qatar. Sergio Perez of Mexico and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the paddock during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Lusail International Circuit on December 1, 2024 in Lusail City, Hadjar, who races for the Red Bull junior F1 team, has admitted that many "positives" lie ahead for Perez in 2026. Speaking to the media, he said: "He's definitely F1 calibre, that's for sure, and I hear a lot of positives for him next year. "So it's looking like there's something going on. He's done pretty well next to Max [Verstappen]." Former Red Bull sporting director Jonathan Wheatley, who moved to Sauber this year as team principal, has praised Perez while highlighting his support during their time at Red Bull. Wheatley stated that Perez was fully focused on his performance, a trait that mattered most to a team. Newsweek Sports reported: "Firstly, I really enjoyed working with Checo. He's a great personality, great attitude to life, full stop. I have no doubt about his pace and his speed. It's been natural since the beginning. "He put in some tremendous drives at my former team and I don't think it's much of a barrier that he's had a bit of time off between driving a Formula 1 car because when you know how to do that, you know how to do it. "I spent a lot of time with him early on because I wanted to get to know him and I wanted him to adjust to the team. What I really liked was he pushed me in my sporting role – pushed me very, very hard. "He made me question whether I was putting every bit of effort in, not that he was criticising but he would challenge you in a positive way and I enjoyed it. "I think it helped motivate me to become better at my job and I'd like to think maybe it was reciprocal and the work that we did together made him better at his." He added: "He's fully focused on performance and what do you want from a driver?"

Dirt Race Crash Ends With Car Flipping After Driver Retaliates
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In the MARS Late Model series at Farmer City Raceway in Illinois, two drivers got into a terrifying crash, which resulted in a car completely flipping on its head. During the race, Daryn Klein (No. 10) attempted to pass Bob Gardner (No. 4), but the move didn't work out. Klein's car hopped on top of Gardner's, and another driver, Dylan Thornton, also hit the No. 10. Gardner was left with massive damage to his car, and in a fit of rage, he prepared to retaliate against Klein for the aggressive overtake attempt. Cars line up before entering the track for the Port-A-Cool¨ Texas World Dirt Track Championships SUPR Late Model series on March 8, 2014 in Fort Worth, Texas.

Photo byHe rejoined the track and drove into incoming cars. The rest of the field managed to avoid him, though Gardner wasn't done with Klein just yet. The No. 10 cut across the track, got side by side with the No. 4, and whacked his rival, leaving Klein's car flipped upside down. All of this action happened on the first lap of the race, though none of the other drivers were injured after the dangerous incident. Luckily, this happened at a dirt track with cars that didn't reach high speed - lessening the risk for a scary outcome. Gardner ended up disqualified from the race. He offered his side of the story in a personal YouTube video. "What I did was uncalled for, was wrong, was out of my character — but I did it, and I'll suffer the consequences for that, whatever that may be. "In the heat of the moment, I wanted to flatten Daryn's left rear tire; in my mind, he put me out of contention for not only that heat, but for the rest of the night for a possible win, and in my mind, he wasn't going to finish that heat race. "I just wanted to flatten his left rear tire so he could race the heat race, give him a little payback. "Whether anybody thinks that's right or wrong, that was my intention. Obviously, it didn't go that way." The racing series issued a six-month ban from all dirt racing events, with a potential for reinstatement or an extended penalty. "Bob Gardner has been a loyal supporter of the MARS Late Model Championship tour and has attended every event that has been held since MC Promotions took ownership over the series in 2023, with the exception of one show," the series' post-race report read. "Gardner placed fourth in series standings in both 2023 and 2024 and was currently 11th in 2025 series standings heading into Farmer City. "This penalty report is being made public due to the severity of the on-track incident, to provide clarity and transparency of the incident, and to show we do not condone this type of behavior at our events."
