S4 Ep11: Piastri Dominates & Long Beach Review
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! Piastri dominates Bahrain while Lando falls up short in qualifying where he makes a decent recovery but can't quite go for the win on Sunday. Great race from Haas as they score double points finishes. Gasly and Alpine have a great run as well. Kyle Larson dominates at Bristol with Hamlin being the closest to him all day. Porsche sweeps at Long Beach as they finish 1-2 in GTP and win in GTD as well. Penske Porsche has been unstoppable in these first three races. Which manufacture do you think will beat them? Kyle Kirkwood takes the win at Long Beach for the IndyCar race where he is able to out pace Alex Palou. This was no easy task but Kyle put in a superb qualifying lap to take pole and had great pace during a caution-free race on the streets of Long Beach. Coming up this weekend: F1 is in Saudi Arabia on the streets of Jeddah and WEC is at Imola.
S4 Ep10: Max Out Performs and Long Beach Preview
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! Denny Hamlin goes back to back with race victories. Two weekends ago he did it at Martinsville and this past weekend he did it again at Darlington! Plenty of throwback liveries to look at as well this weekend as NASCAR has done well with promoting this weekend to remember the history of the sport and the teams. F1 kicked of its first race of back to back to back race weeks in Japan where Max Verstappen reminded everyone just how good he is as he took his Red Bull and put it on pole and followed up with a race victory as well. After qualifying he noted that he almost lost the car about five times during the pole lap! We also have a discussion regarding comments about how processional F1's races have become of late and what we think would need to change. We recap the European Le Mans race at Barcelona which was a great race to watch! Coming up this weekend: NASCAR goes to Bristol, F1 is in Bahrain, IndyCar and IMSA are at Long Beach, and MotoGP is at Qatar. Packed weekend of racing!
S4 Ep 9: Japanese GP Preview
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! NASCAR went to the paperclip (Martinsville) this past weekend where Denny Hamlin took the win in Cup! A 1-2-3 finish for Toyota! Congrats to them for a great result. NASCAR heads to Darlington this upcoming weekend. MotoGP was on as well this weekend as they were in Texas at COTA for the US Grand Prix. Another great race there. I won't spoil any details in the comments here but we do discuss the race during this episode to recap the action. Formula One returns this upcoming weekend for the Japanese GP where the headline news is another swap of Red Bull drivers. We'll see how it works out for them this weekend. Other news and notes are discussed as well including stories from our own trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum as they just unveiled the renovations that they just completed! Very exciting stuff. Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Darlington and F1 in Japan.
S4 Ep 8: Chinese GP & Thermal Recaps
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! F1 had its second round of the season in China where McLaren dominated the grand prix with a 1-2 finish. Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari were able to capture their first win together...albeit a Sprint race win. This, however, was overshadowed by a DOUBLE DSQ from Ferrari in Sunday's Grand Prix due to minimum weight and skid block thickness infractions. IndyCar also had its second round of the season at Thermal Motorsports Club. McLaren looked like it was going to be able to get a win in both F1 and IndyCar on the same day but Alex Palou said "not today" as he stormed to the race win with a great strategy of finishing the race on the Alternate tires. That's 2 for 2 on the season for Palou as his quest for 3 IndyCar championships IN A ROW is on! NASCAR visited Homestead where Kyle Larson took the win. Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Martinsville
S4 Ep 7: Downpour Down Under & Entertaining Sebring
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! Formula One has kicked off their season with a wet and wild opening race in Melbourne, Australia. Lando Norris and McLaren take the victory and make it known that their car is the car to beat this year. We'll see if other teams can catch up in development. Max Verstappen and Red Bull continue to show a strong performance despite the 2nd Red Bull being once again off the pace and nowhere. With that said, there were some mechanical gremlins that hindered Liam Lawson's track time in FP3 so it's not just the driver to blame for this performance. IMSA had another edition of the Sebring 12 Hours with Porsche standing on top of the podium in both GTP and GTD Pro! They continue to show why they are the team to beat in these longer endurance races especially in GTP. BMW and Acura were quick as well this weekend in GTP and were giving the Porsches a good battle all race. Aston Martin made its GTP debut with its highly anticipated Valkyrie! Although finishing the race 2 laps down to the leader it did finish the race which means plenty of data to sift through and the car is robust enough to handle Sebring's bumps! In NASCAR, Josh Berry takes the win at Las Vegas. F1 is back to back with race weekends as they head to China next. NASCAR heads to Homestead, FL and IndyCar is back for round 2 at Thermal Club in California. Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Homestead, F1 in China, and IndyCar at Thermal.
