Australia's richest motorsport star will go head to head with America's Supercross champion in a grudge race in Brisbane in December. Chad Reed and American James 'Bubba' Stewart will compete in the Australian SuperX final, the first time the pair have competed against each other outside the US.Stewart this year wrestled the American and World Supercross title from Reed with just a four-point margin in a spiteful series where the two former mates ended bitter enemies. Both are two-time American and world title holders and a win in Brisbane would provide a mental advantage and confidence boost leading into the 2010 AMA series."This is going to be huge for the series," said Stewart. "There will definitely be some fireworks happening."Incidents in this year's American supercross series which caused the riders to become enemies include Reed hitting Stewart from behind, Stewart's teammate trying to take Reed out by hitting his front tyre and Stewart dangerously bumping Reed in mid air.Stewart said he hoped the Brisbane race would help rebuild his relationship with Reed."We both know what the reason behind this (his invitation to race) is," he said. "It will put the event on the map a little bit. But hopefully we can put our differences aside."I think it will be intense for both of us; for him especially because it's a home town race. "I just hope the crowd undertands that I'm not coming down there to beat Chad on his home turf, I'm just coming down there for the fans."Here (in the US) they kind of cheer both guys, but it will be different there. "I think there will be more pressure on Chad because if he would not want to lose any race this would be it."Stewart said he agreed to come to Australia for the one-off race as a preparation for next year's supercross season and to give his new Yamaha a trial run. "Everyone wants to know what's new on the bike," he said. "I would love to tell you what it is but I'd get fired. I can just say I'm starting over."Stewart said he was aiming for back-to-back titles next year."This year was a really big struggle. This championship took me a while to get comfortable," he said. "Yamaha finally came around for me and I got a few races in a row. Next year I hope I get a bit of a better start."He said there would be no advantage in Reed competing in the current American motocross series."The guys who do well outside (motocross) don't necessarily do well inside (supercross)," he said. "I don't think it transitions over. I think his whole decision came off not winning the supercross championship."Fellow American supercross star Jeremy McGrath has also been confirmed to return for three rounds of the SuperX season and other American riders are being courted to compete.The seven-round SuperX series begins in Launceston on October 17 and ends in Brisbane on December 5. It will be broadcast live on Fox Sports with delayed telecasts on Network Ten.SuperX Series Rd 1, Auroro Stadium, Launceston, October 17 Rd 2, Skilled Stadium, Geelong, October 24 Rd 3, Burswood Dome, Perth, October 31 Rd 4, Canberra Stadium, November 7 Rd 5, Parramatta Stadium, Sydney, November 14 Rd 6, Waikato Stadium, Hamilton, NZ, November 21 Rd 7, QSAC, Brisbane, Devember 5 

In case you're wondering, that's that tag given to the generation born after the start of the internet age. There is no alphabetical link between Gen-X and Gen-Y and now Gen-I, but there is a technology trail that ties them as tightly as a 14-year-old to an X-Box.So, who knows what we'll be driving when the kids of Gen-I are old enough to get a license for the road? I was thinking about this as I rocked my own Gen-I youngster last week as I was tuned to the Discovery Channel.The spur was a multi-part documentary called FutureCar. It fast-forwards to the year 2030 and looks at everything from car bodies to on-board brains, fuels and even safety and design. And it does it with plenty of detail, high-definition pictures and access to some of the smartest and most-innovative thinkers in the car world today.I have spoken to many of the experts who appear in FutureCar and they know their stuff. Many are visionaries. But it's the way the package is put together, with truly fascinating dives into technology and design, that makes FutureCar so inspiring. It shows there is a future for the car, and well beyond 2030.I'm not convinced about cars that drive themselves, or some of the radical shapes and powerplants, but there is a lot to see and learn in this Discovery Channel production. There is virtual reality and haptic technology, wheel motors that replace engines, nanomaterials, farm fuels and even a look into what 'speed' will mean in the future.My order for a full DVD set is on its way to the USA and it's something I can definitely recommend, either to cable watchers or internet shoppers who will find FutureCar with a basic google search. Goodness, it even sounds like I'm coming to grips with the latest technology. Not bad for a baby boomer.

It's the global showroom champion each year and is the all-time record holder, overtaking the Model T Ford and Volkswagen Beetle which had held the title before Brand T's equivalent of the Big Mac.But there is one car which makes the Corolla look like an underachiever. It's a car called the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, which has been around now for 30 years. The plastic children's runabout sells at a crazy rate, driving into 457,000 homes in 2008 alone.That result easily trumped the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord which are America's favourite full-sized cars, and this year the Cozy Coupe is selling at nearly double the regular rate as people re-discover its charm.It helps that the Coupe has been given a car company-style facelift for the anniversary, with a new smiley face, a parent-controlled push handle, opening fuel filler and a high seat back with cabin storage.The Cozy Coupe is now even available in Australia and, priced from $129.99 at major retailers, is likely to be one of the four-wheel stars of 2008.
