Royal duo eyeing regal performance at 24 hours of Spa race
The royal duo, the sons of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, are representing Johor Motorsports Racing (JMR) and will be behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R as they battle against 75 elite GT3 machines from around the globe in this gruelling endurance showdown.
Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tunku Abu Bakar will share driving duties with Alexander Sims and Jordan Love.
Tunku Abdul Rahman said their main focus in one of the most prestigious GT3 races this season is to first finish the race before targeting a win.
'We still have a long way to go as a team, and we want to be the best one out there.
'It's positive that things have gone this well so far, but this is just the beginning. There are a lot of strong teams and cars,' he posted on The Royal Johor Facebook page today.
His younger brother, Tunku Abu Bakar, described their participation this time as an opportunity for the team to polish Malaysia's motorsports talent.
'This is the first year that we are running on our own as a team. We have a few crew members from Malaysia, and our focus is to get people back home to work and race with us internationally.
'Not only do we want to be on the top steps all the time, but part of that journey is bringing people from back home to help them achieve the same goals as us,' he said.

Hamilton to start Belgian GP from pit lane after nightmare Spa weekend
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS (Belgium), July 27 — Lewis Hamilton will start the Belgian Grand Prix from the pit lane after Ferrari fitted a new power unit to his car, following a difficult qualifying session that saw him finish 16th. The seven-time Formula One world champion has endured a challenging weekend at Spa, placing 18th in Friday's sprint qualifying and finishing 15th in the 100km sprint race on Saturday. Hamilton, who joined Ferrari in January, has yet to secure a podium finish with the Italian team. He apologised to Ferrari after Saturday's race, calling his performance 'unacceptable'. Despite his struggles, the Briton has a strong track record at Spa, having won five times and only missed the podium twice in races he has completed at the circuit. Ferrari confirmed the engine change on Saturday. Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli will also start from the pit lane due to similar power unit changes. Rainy weather is expected to affect Sunday's race. Earlier, the Formula Two feature race began behind the safety car, while the Formula Three race was cancelled due to poor track conditions. — Reuters

TOP SECRET's One-of-a-Kind VR32 Stealth GT-R Set to Headline TAS 2025
Japanese tuning legend TOP SECRET is returning to the Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur (TAS) this year with one of its most celebrated and rarest creations – the VR32 Stealth Nissan GT-R. The highly anticipated showcase will take place from 8 to 10 August 2025 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), where fans will also get the chance to meet the mastermind behind the machine, Kazuhiko 'Smokey' Nagata, now making his third consecutive appearance at the event. At the heart of the VR32 Stealth GT-R is an ambitious and meticulously executed fusion: the 3.8-litre powerplant from the modern R35 GT-R has been transplanted into the shell of the iconic BNR32. This fusion of eras has resulted in a one-off creation that exemplifies engineering excellence and performance-driven design. The car, the only one of its kind in the world, was built entirely by Nagata himself. The build involved far more than just an engine swap. The project required extensive chassis fabrication and reinforcement to accommodate the high-performance R35 drivetrain. The entire body underwent stitch welding, and additional tube bracing was incorporated beneath the front fenders to enhance chassis rigidity. The car also features a full roll cage for added structural integrity and safety. In terms of power, the VR32 is nothing short of monstrous. Generating a staggering 1,072hp, the engine is enhanced with a TOP SECRET BB800 turbine and JUN H-section connecting rods, highlighting the level of performance engineering that went into this unique machine. Visually, the car commands attention with its Stealth Grey paintwork, a full TOP SECRET aerodynamic kit, and aggressive stance achieved through NEKO TOP SECRET Ride Pitch Adjustment suspension paired with SWIFT springs. The braking system is borrowed from the R35 GT-R, offering exceptional stopping power via six-piston Brembo callipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear, clamping onto massive 380mm discs. Rounding off the exterior package are 18-inch OZ Racing Challenge HLT wheels, measuring 10J ET25 at the front and 11J ET60 at the rear, wrapped in Bridgestone POTENZA RE-71RS tyres sized 275/35R18 all around. The R35 influence continues into the interior, where the original BNR32 cabin has been comprehensively reimagined. The dashboard, instrument cluster, centre console, and door panels from the R35 have been seamlessly integrated into the classic chassis. The conversion is completed with TOP SECRET's own R35 GT-R steering wheel and a TRUST Sirius boost meter, blending modern functionality with nostalgic design. Beyond the display, visitors can browse a dedicated TOP SECRET merchandise booth and meet Smokey Nagata in person – a rare opportunity for automotive fans and tuning enthusiasts. Tickets for the Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur 2025 are now available, priced at RM48 for a one-day adult pass, RM30 for children aged 6 to 12, and RM120 for a Family Combo (two adults and two children). An adult three-day pass is also available for RM120. Children aged five and below may enter for free, while OKU card holders and their caregivers are entitled to a 50% discount.

Catholic 'American Ninja Warrior' fighting world hunger, one obstacle at a time
Austin Baron takes part in the Season 17 semifinals of 'American Ninja Warrior' July 14, 2025 on NBC. (OSV News photo/courtesy of Trae Patton, NBC) Baron was immediately hooked. He began ninja training in middle school. 'There are two main types of obstacles,' this ninja warrior explained. 'There are upper body obstacles for which you have to use your hands, moving from one grab bar to another. The other type involves obstacles where you have to go back with your feet, balancing and moving through an obstacle to get to the other side.' Baron said he trains in ninja gyms in Virginia, but has to rely on the rock climbing and bouldering wall at Duncan Student Center when he is back on Notre Dame's campus. There are no ninja gyms nearby. What makes him so committed to the ninja warrior competition — as opposed to other athletic pursuits and sports, especially those for which Notre Dame is so famous? 'I really fell in love with the ninja warrior community,' he explained. 'There is such respect for others even when they're competing against each other. There's this sense of helping others even while these same competitors are doing their best as well.' Both men and women compete and competitors are from a variety of age groups. And some come from other countries, he added. Ninja Austin Baron hopes to bring awareness to world hunger crisis But it's apparently Baron's deeply held commitment to address hunger that provides the real backstory for his participation in the semifinals. That too began years ago in Virginia in the Barons' parish, St. Theresa Catholic Church in Ashburn. 'When I was 12,' he recalls, 'I went to an event at my parish that was providing meals for hungry people, and I learned that these meals that we were packing would be the only food that they'd have to eat!' Austin was stunned. The event was sponsored by Cross Catholic Outreach, an American organization founded in the U.S. in 2001. It has helped to provide food, access to clean water and housing in more than 90 countries throughout the world. After that eye-opening experience, Baron says, 'I wanted to do something more to help them. I started to fund-raise so that we could send more meals.' With the help of his family, he started a little business making rope toys for dogs. He said he watched a YouTube video to find out how to do it. Apparently, the family's two dogs — Shamrock and Crash — thought the resulting rope toys were pretty good. He called his new company 'Knot Perfect.' When he was in high school, he got help from his family, particularly his mother, to make Knot Perfect a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — By 2025, entrepreneur Austin Baron had made more than 1,500 dog toys. According to a June 26, 2025 news release from the University of Notre Dame about Baron's American Ninja Warrior competition, Knot Perfect has already raised over $30,000, providing more than 100,000 meals to children and families around the world. Supporters of his efforts can contribute to Knot Perfect at its website. But how does this exceptionally committed and altruistic college student hope to inspire others to also work to end world hunger? He admits that many will respond: 'World hunger is too big a problem for me to deal with; what good are my cans of soup and tuna, and a box or two of pasta given at my church every week?' 'What I'm trying to do,' Baron responded, 'is to take something that I love to do — being involved in ANW competitions and making dog toys — and combining it with my mission to feed the hungry. So, that's what I'd suggest to other people. Combine the things that you love to do with your mission. And then, rely on God, knowing that he will be guiding you along the way.' Baron is heading to the ANW finals after the July 14 semifinals, where he has a chance to win this year's $250,000 prize and the title of 'American Ninja Warrior.' He's made it very clear that if he wins, his prize money will go to promote that amazing goal — feeding the world's 1 billion hungry people.--OSV News
