Motorsport isn’t just about engineering or entertainment, it’s platform economics in action. 

In this episode, we draw a direct line between how video game consoles attract developers and how racing series must attract manufacturers. 

The parallels are clear, and the lessons are critical: 

  • Why the WEC’s Hypercar formula is succeeding as a manufacturer magnet
  • How the WRC’s regulatory missteps have weakened its platform
  • What racing series can learn from PlayStation’s rise, and avoid from failed gaming platforms
  • A framework for building sustainable, attractive motorsport ecosystems


If you want to understand how regulations, economics, and long-term strategy intersect in racing, this episode is for you.
