Inside the Majors

This episode will be a ‘Part A’ for the week, focusing on the Intimidator races and interviews with winners from the International and Euro top splits. ‘Part B’ later in the week will take a look back at the first two rounds of the Sudspeed MEC, and will also feature a chat with the lead MEC broadcaster. We might even take a look at some new Iracing Season 2 build updates that will impact the MEC as well.

This week, we have got our Floridian hats firmly on with a look back at the opening round of the Majors Series (the Daytona 2.4 IMSA race), a look ahead to Round 2 (also at Daytona, but this time the oval with the Intimidator race in the NASCAR 87s) and a great chat with some Majors Series regulars about their time at the Real Daytona 24 this year.

We also found some time to run through some common questions and insights useful for people ahead of the opening MEC race, the Silverstone 6 hour, discussing team management, how pre-Q works, driver rankings and much more!

This week we've got an interview with somebody that I know a lot of people have been waiting to hear from, Christian Challiner, the GOAT as far as Major Series is concerned! We chat about how he got started, what are the sorts of things that he enjoys racing, and also what he does day to day for employment, which I think everybody will want to hear about!

After that, we'll be talking about this coming weekend's round, the Formula Ford Festival at the Brands Hatch Indy, including the introduction of a live admin back into the Major Series.
