London called, and Formula E answered in what is being considered as being one of the best events the all-electric world championship has put on in recent years.

Guest host Jack Nicholls is joined by Sam Smith and Avalanche Andretti’s Roger Griffiths, who with driver Jake Dennis was the toast of the UK’s capital last weekend after a dominant victory and a close second to Sunday victor Lucas di Grassi at the ExCeL centre circuit.

In a packed show the trio discuss the diminishing title fight after Stoffel Vandoorne again capitalised on reliability misfortune for Mitch Evans and incident packed races for both Edoardo Mortara and Jean-Eric Vergne.

There were plenty of afters too as Mercedes EQ got embroiled in an aborted choreography plan, while Sebastien Buemi and Pascal Wehrlein almost came to blows in the pit-lane and had to be separated by Griffiths’ commercial director and occasional columnist of The Race, Jim Wright!

In addition to the London action there is also a look ahead to Seoul and Griffiths reflections on Andretti’s BMW journey which has roots stretching all the way back to the start of Formula E.

Mitch Evans joins Andrew van de Burgt and Sam Smith to pick the bones from a dramatic double-header in Brooklyn, New York City last weekend.

The Jaguar TCS Racing driver proffers his opinion on the controversial decision not to re-start the Saturday race after a localised cloudburst sent several cars, including the leader Nick Cassidy crashing off the track in a bizarre Takeshi’s Castle style ending to the race.

Evans kept himself in the title hunt with a third place in Sunday’s event but Jean-Eric Vergne’s non-score casts doubt on his credentials now of grabbing a third title.

The trio also look into the confusing penalty given to original Sunday pole-sitter Cassidy, the first win in 14 months for Antonio Felix da Costa and Evans’ energetic battle with Mercedes EQ’s Nyck de Vries.

A look in to whether this was the last New York City event is also discussed, as is the upcoming London EPrix at ExCeL Arena where several track changes should spice up the racing and the title fight.

Who was flying on the Marrakesh Express and who was left to crumble like cous-cous in the searing heat of Morocco last weekend?

That and several other topics are discussed between host Andrew van de Burgt, The Race’s Formula E guru Sam Smith and special guest, Mercedes EQ team principal, Ian James in the latest episode of the Race’s Formula E podcast.

The intricate choreography of DS Techeetah pair Jean-Eric Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa and how it allowed Edoardo Mortara the little extra breathing space he needed is mulled over, as is the chronic braking difficulties that blighted James’ charge Stoffel Vandoorne.

The trio also take a look at how the teammates of the ‘Gang of Four’ at the head of the drivers title fight will have a say in where the title rests in just over a month’s time when the world championship concludes in Seoul.

The seemingly never-ending saga of the 2022 driver silly season is picked apart, and the latest 2023 EPrix venue news is covered in the familiar ‘Sam’s calendar update’ segment of the show.

The Jakarta E-Prix saw the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E world championship hot up almost as much as the throbbing batteries amid colossal heat and humidity in Indonesia last weekend.

Casting a cool eye over proceedings this week is ROKiT Venturi team principal, Jerome d’Ambrosio, who joins Andrew van de Burgt and Sam Smith to mull over the action.

Mitch Evans claimed his third win of the season in classy style over title rivals Jean-Eric Vergne and Edoardo Mortara, while points leader employed a damage limitation exercise to take fifth after a mistake in qualifying.

We drill in to the ‘Gang if Four’s’ title chances and look at why and how Evans and Jaguar TCS Racing is able to bounce back from non-event races it has suffered such as Mexico and Berlin this season.

Also discussed is the now likely curtailed title hopes of Porsche, the on-going disaster of Antonio Giovinazzi’s Formula E programme and some interesting news on Nissan’s plans for the Gen 3 development testing phase.

A jam-packed post-Monaco E-Prix podcast dissects an intricately executed win for Stoffel Vandoorne and Mercedes EQ in addition to a host of other fine performances and spectacular incidents in the principality last weekend.

Former Audi Formula E team principal, Allan McNish joins Andrew van de Burgt and Sam Smith to discuss how Vandoorne beat Mitch Evans' Jaguar and how Pascal Wehrlein was easily the unluckiest man in town.

Butchery puns abound after Edoardo Mortara’s now infamous description of team-mate Lucas di Grassi’s brawny racing left ROKiT Venturi embarrassed on their home turf. The Italo-Swiss ace didn’t mince his words after receiving a chop from Di Grassi causing his terminal puncture.

The unveiling of the all-new Gen 3 car is picked over, as is the latest calendar shenanigans – a regular feature of the Formula E podcast.

Also discussed in detail is Stoffel Vandoorne’s soon to be confirmed move from Mercedes EQ to the new DS Penske alliance in what is sure to be one of the strongest ever partnerships seen in the all-electric world championship.

An excellent weekend of Formula E action in Rome is picked over by The Race’s Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt, who are joined by motorsport industry veteran Jim Wright.

He's probed on the weekend's action, including his reaction to a pair of wins for Mitch Evans, his thoughts on the new qualifying format, and which drivers he thinks may or may not be attractive in the Gen-3 era of Formula E.

Also discussed is Sam Bird’s three-place grid drop for Monaco, which expands into a more existential discussion about whether the penalty structure is right in international racing at all. And there's also a deep dive into Oliver Turvey’s remarkable run from 22nd to 7th, plus reaction to Jean-Eric Vergne's extraordinary radio antics in Sunday’s race.
