  • S3 Ep38: Red Flags Both On and Off the Track

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    NASCAR went to Kansas for it's 2nd round of the playoffs. Ross Chastain took the win in the end and celebrated by smashing a watermelon as usual.

    The European Le Mans Series had a 4 hour race at Mugello where there was a big accident which brought out the red flag. Everyone was okay and they were able to continue on afterwards.

    Red Bull had its red flag moment this past week as they announced Daniel Ricciardo would not be driving anymore races this season. An unfortunate end for someone with so much character in the paddock.

    Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Talladega.

  • S3 Ep37: A Weekend of Dominance

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    NASCAR wrapped up its first round of playoffs at Bristol which was duly dominated by Kyle Larson. They go to Kansas next weekend for the start of the next round of playoffs.

    Formula 1 took on the giant lizard of Singapore where Lando Norris came out on top with Max Verstappen finishing 2nd and Oscar Piastri rounding out the podium in 3rd. Speculation of Ricciardo's situation has come up where questions are being asked if this was his last race in F1. There is also the questionable Swear-gate situation where the FIA is not pleased with Verstappen's use of the F word over the radio and gave him community service to which Verstappen had some comments about that.

    IMSA had an exciting race that involved some wet weather for the 6 hour race at Indy. BMW walked away with a 1-2 finish in GTP which was a much needed and well deserved finish for them in the GTP era. After the race had finished, all GTP cars were impounded for inspection and also to be looked at for BoP to help for the final race at Petit Le Mans in a couple of weeks.

    Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Kansas and MotoGP is in Indonesia.

  • S3 Ep36: Palou 3x Champ as Nate Jinxes Power

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    NASCAR went bowling at the Glen this weekend as Turn 1 looked just like that for a lot of the restarts that happened during the races. Chris Buescher comes out on top as he capitalizes on a last lap mistake from SVG through the bus stop. NASCAR heads to Bristol for the last race of the first round of playoffs.

    IndyCar had its season finale at Nashville Superspeedway and this race did not disappoint! Well it did a little bit in regards of the championship drama as Will Power has some bad luck and Alex Palou walks away with his 3rd IndyCar Championship. It was a tall order to begin with for Power but an issue with his lap belts unbuckling certainly put an end to his championship hopes rather quickly.

    Formula 1 kicked off it's street race double header at Baku where 3 teams were nose to tail in the final laps of the race! These drivers were so close to each other that Sainz and Perez got into each other and very up close and personal with a wall that ended both of their races a lap short of the checkered flag. Piastri came out victorious with no controversy to spoil this win for him. LeClerc with a great 2nd finish (although tough to say after starting on pole). Norris had a bounceback finish of 4th after starting 17th. The struggles continue for Verstappen as he finishes 5th.

    WEC raced at Fuji and what an entertaining race it was! Toyota got hit pretty hard with some BOP adjustments which meant we got a few new teams to see the podium for their first time in the Hypercar era - BMW finishes 2nd and Alpine finishes 3rd! The #6 Porsche Penske continues its successful run this season with their 2nd win of the season. This car has yet to finish outside of the top 10 with a 6th place finish as their worst result. Meanwhile in LMGT3, Manthey Porsche #92 officially clinches the GT3 class championship as they took 2nd place this weekend behind the #54 Vista AF Corsa Ferrari.

    Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Bristol, F1 is in Singapore, and IMSA is at Indianapolis for a 6 hour race at the Brickyard.

    IndyCar will wrap up its season this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. Palou and Power will battle for the title as Palou enters the final race with a 33 point advantage. It will be a tough overhaul for Power but we're looking forward to a good race!

    F1 takes to the streets of Baku in Azerbaijan. We'll see if McLaren can take control of the constructor's championship this weekend. They appear to have the most complete car at this point of the season but can they execute?

    WEC races again this weekend in Fuji! We'll be watching out for the Circuit Safari in FP1!

  • S3 Ep34: Labor Day Weekend Recap

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    Ferrari is victorious once again for the 20th time at Monza! Charles LeClerc takes a win for Ferrari in Italy! FANTASTICO! McLaren's priorities come into question even more so as they fail to convert a front row lockout into a win along with the fact their leading driver in the driver's championship is not being prioritized for points to mount a comeback as Red Bull seems to be falling behind even further! There is a lot of signs pointing to a potentially exciting end to this season of F1.

    NASCAR had it's last regular season race at Darlington as Chase Briscoe took the win to secure himself a playoff spot! Next week, the playoffs will begin at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

    IndyCar had it's double header at Milwaukee and what an entertaining weekend it was! Race 1 was very exciting as Pato O'Ward got the win after putting himself in a great position for when the cautions came out. Race 2 was the more intriguing race as the championship could've been turned upside-down for Palou as he had troubles on the formation lap and Will Power looked poised to make up a lot of points. The points gap closed but Power did not get all that he could. The title is coming down to the last race of the season in Nashville in 2 weeks but Palou just needs a solid finish as he has this championship all but wrapped up at the moment.

    Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Atlanta for the first race of the playoffs. Moto GP is in Italy for a round at Misano.

  • S3 Ep30: Mercedes Cheats to Win Against Themselves

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    The summer break is here but before the racing world takes a small vacation or slight dip in the amount of racing on a weekend, Formula 1 concluded it's 14th round at Spa-Francorchamps. A very exciting, strategic race where it felt like it could've been one of 7-8 drivers that could've won had one driver/team made a mistake! George Russell took the win...wait...scratch that....Lewis Hamilton took the win after George was found to be UNDER the minimum legal weight by 1.5 kg (~3 lbs). After a brilliant one stop strategy, speculation is that he missed the legal weight due to his tires being worn by an equivalent amount of 1.5 kg....or they could've just under-fueled him by that much too.

    Verstappen relinquished pole position after having to take a 10 place grid penalty due to an engine change. He was able to recover to 4th by the end of the race and was within 1 second of the podium which LeClerc was able to snag!

    Formula 1 is now off for 3 weeks until the end of August where they return to Zandvoort! NASCAR is still on its summer break due to the Olympics and the TV coverage deal they have with NBC.

    Coming up this weekend is IMSA at Road America. The WeatherTech series will be supported by the Michelin Pilot Series, Porsche Cup, and Mustang Challenge. Plenty of racing to watch! Also there's a race at the Nordschleife this weekend as VLN has one of its rounds. You can catch that race on YouTube.

  • S3 Ep29: The Flying Dutchman and Soaring Santino

    Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

    This past weekend, racecars tried to become planes as cars got airborne. Formula 1 continued its season at the Hungaroring where McLaren finished 1-2 but not without some controversy. Verstappen meanwhile finished 5th after bad strategy from the pit wall and a few overtakes that came from desperation on his end.

    IndyCar went to the streets of Toronto where Andretti dominated as Colton Herta was 5 race laps short of a grand slam as he took the win ahead of his teammate Kyle Kirkwood. Two cars got airborne as well in this race with Santino Ferrucci most notably ending upside down. He was alright but that was the end of his race.

    NASCAR returned to Indy but this time they returned to the rectangle for the Brickyard 400...and in typical NASCAR fashion the end of the race came down to an overtime finish but this one came with some extra spiciness as the officials seemed to make up some rules to get the race over with. Larson wins in the end but not very many people were happy otherwise about the decisions made from race control.

    Coming up this weekend - Formula 1 goes to the infamous Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium for the last round before their summer break. NASCAR is on a two week summer break of their own as the Olympics are going on and NBC will be focusing their coverage to the events in Paris.
