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

William Byron wins the Daytona 500 and Manthey Racing wins the Bathurst 12 Hours. The Daytona 500 had mixed responses as the ending was lack luster to say the least and restrictor plate racing leads to another BIG ONE. The Bathurst 12 Hours was very entertaining from a differing pit strategies to changing weather conditions and a late race caution leading to a sprint at the end!

Nate recaps his virtual Daytona 500 experience as well!

Coming up this week, Formula 1 has it's preseason testing and so does WEC with their Prologue. Supercars open their season with the Bathurst 500! Racing season is back in full swing for 2024 and we're looking forward to it!

F1 cars being on track is one step closer! This past week we've gotten to see just about everyone showcase their 2024 challengers. With the regulations staying more or less the same with no major changes, a lot of the cars are starting to look the same and take inspirations from cars at the front of the field.

With the Clash aside, NASCAR really kicks it's season off at Daytona for the 500 race this weekend. There's also Xfinity, Trucks, and ARCA racing as well. Hopefully mother nature can play nice this weekend although a rain out on Sunday seems almost imminent at the time of our recording this week.

Down under this weekend is the Bathurst 12 Hours! The race will start sometime Saturday night for those of us in the US looking to find a stream somewhere on the internet.

Wow! Not a lot of racing this past weekend but shock waves have circled the globe with the announcement of Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 and heading to Ferrari for 2025 to drive alongside Charles LeClerc! We discuss this monumental moment and its implications of what lies ahead.

Just before the Hamilton/Ferrari announcement, another big news piece came forth as Andretti was denied entry to the F1 grid for the 2026 season. Although the wording hints at a possible entry for them in 2028, the reasons stated as to why they cannot join the grid in 2026 are just absolutely ridiculous in claiming that they could potentially be "noncompetitive" after coming off the 2023 season where 1 driver won 19 of 23 races...needless to say we are not happy with the decision.

NASCAR had it's Clash race at the LA Coliseum and Indycar had another couple of testing days with the new hybrid power units at Homestead.

Following the Roar at Daytona last weekend, IMSA opened it's season with the Rolex 24. Aside from the somewhat controversial ending from a timing error on IMSA's part the racing was excellent! The battle for the overall lead in GTP was fantastic between the Cadillac and Porsche! Great racing from the other classes as well even our podcast favorite Risi Competizione took the win in GTD Pro.

Other racing from that weekend was exciting too with the Michelin Pilot Series but even more so from the Whelan MX-5 Cup Series! If you haven't seen those two races, check out either IMSA Official or The Racer Channel YouTube pages to watch the replays.

In the world of F1, Lando and LeClerc have extended their contracts with their teams. Although we haven't even started the 2024 season, speculation for 2025 lineups is in full swing as about three-quarters of the grid have contracts expiring at the end of the 2024 season. There's also a rumor about where a 4th US race might be.

Racing has officially returned as IMSA has kicked off it's season with the Roar Before the 24 that concluded with the grid being set for the Rolex 24 coming up this weekend in Daytona.

Other news announced this week - Madrid street circuit will be the host of the Spanish GP in Formula 1 from 2026 till 2035 and Marco Andretti announced that he will be driving in the Indy 500 this year.

Nate and Christian discuss their sim racing event they took part in over the weekend & all three of us give our two drivers that we think should get the last two Indycar seats at Dale Coyne.

This week for racing all of our focus will be on IMSA at Daytona for the Rolex 24! Tune in Saturday on NBC/Peacock/IMSAtv.

One last week of some boring off season talks. Thankfully this weekend we get to see sandbagging and actual racing in full force at the Roar Before the 24 in Daytona with IMSA. In addition to the practice and qualifying for the Rolex 24 next weekend, the VP Challenge Sportscar Series has two races this weekend! Both are 45 mins if we recall correctly. It will feature the LMP3 and GT4 cars.

News that broke soon after our podcast last week was the "firing" of Gunther Steiner at Haas F1 and SRX has announced its indefinite postponement of its fourth season with the revival of the IROC license.

The offseason is in full swing but over the coming weeks racing will resume! This weekend is the Chili Bowl! Plenty of action for a whole week. Then IMSA will start up again with the Roar before the 24 next weekend and the Rolex 24 the following but this week we discuss some more driver lineup announcements across Indycar and IMSA along with some IROC news and we debate what are some of the best racing movies and where do some shine while others falter.

Happy New Year! After a holiday break we pick up with a discussion we wanted to have about Indycar's engine suppliers and the state that Indycar is in. With the car supposedly poised to get a hybrid implemented for this season there hasn't been much change to the car outside of the aeroscreen and various stages of aero body kits that have gone onto the same chassis that is about 11 years old now. What does the future hold for the series? Is this the right move? How can they engage more fans?

Nate gives us an update on his racing adventures that he's done with the Touring Kart Championship over the past couple of weekends as well. He even scores a podium as well! Congrats Nate!

The off season lull is in full swing. IMSA had it's Homologation Test at Daytona this week where we saw the first outings of the Lamborghini GTP, Ford Mustang GT3, and Corvette GT3. WEC had more driver lineups being confirmed along with some news of refined Safety Car rules and their commitment to no tire warmers allowed in the coming season. Indycar's big announcement is that the new hybrid power unit would not make its debut at St. Petersburg, FL but rather in the streets of Detroit AFTER the Indy 500. An odd time to switch power units in the middle of the season...

This past weekend the Gulf 12 Hours took place at Yas Marina Circuit. This race is the season finale in the Intercontinental GT Challenge which is comprised of GT3 cars. If you need something to watch or have on in the background it will surely provide you with some entertainment! You can find it on GTWorld Youtube channel.

Asian Le Mans Series kicked off it's 2023-24 season with a double header event at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. Both races can be watched back via their YouTube channel if you're interested.

We also enter the first real weekend of the off season. This week we focus also on some of the bigger news and notes of the week in motorsports as we count down the days until IMSA's Daytona 24 in January.
