Episode 2: Azerbaijan GP and ChampCar

Formed in 2015, Team Hugh Jass got their start competing in online endurance events through the iRacing simulation platform.

Please note, this episode was recorded before the cancellation of the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, so some of the predictions might be delayed.

Episode 12: The Hugh Jass Return

Wrapping up the previous 4 rounds of the F1 Season, which saw a "new" world champion crowned and a Ferrari team that seems to be on the brink of civil war. We discuss what we think makes Lewis Hamilton tick, what Ferrari have to do to sort out their driver management problem, and wonder if Alex Albon is really deserving of a prime Red Bull seat.

Episode 11: Why Does Lewis Hamilton Complain So Much?

The HJPP team return from their summer break to unpack the events in the most recent rounds of the 2019 F1 championship, in which we witnessed a resurgence in performance from Ferrari, a driver swap at Red Bull, and continued shenanigans at Haas.

The interview segment sees us catch up with HJ member Ryan Verhulst, who took a trip to Monza for the 2019 Italian GP, and shares his feedback from how to enjoy a trip to an F1 race.

Episode 10: Ferrari Resurgence at the Italian GP

A catch-up of the Formula 1 action from Hockenheim, as a wet-dry race served up a treat of racing excitement before the summer break. We also look at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and all the upshot from the "surprise" mid-season announcement from Red Bull. 

In action closer to home, we look back upon the Hugh Jass effort at the Lifeline ChampCar 24hr of VIR, and a weekend of trials, tribulations, and ultimate successes for our whole team of plucky amateur racers.

Episode 9: German and Hungarian GPs, and ChampCar 24h of VIR

We discuss the British GP and all the excitement and drama that caused, including what the future may hold for Sebastian Vettel.
