Time for the second in our Season Preview series heading into 2022, and in this one, it’s IndyCar Season coming to you from St Pete in Florida this weekend!

In this 90 minute special, we preview all the key storylines going into the season. From the back half gaining reinforcements like Callum Illot, Tatiana Calderon, Conor Daly’s return, and Meyers Shank Racing going with a huge Indy 500 style Death line-up with Helio Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud having a Penske homecoming!

We look at the challengers at the front, as Rahal Letterman Lanigan racing bring in reinforcements with Jack Harvey and F2’s Christian Lundgard to up themselves to three cars. McLaren rolling on as Pato O’Ward eyes up F1, and then the big three, with Penske trying to iron out their constant struggles.

We have Andretti with Colton Herta now leading the charge, alongside the sport’s new most popular driver – Romain Grosjean now in the DHL #28 car, and the sixth rookie in the field with Devlin Defrancesco, King’s favourite iRacing friend.

And finally, the reigning Champs in Chip Ganassi Racing, with potentially three title contenders in its ranks with Marcus Ericsson, Scott Dixon, and reigning Champion Alex Palou! We also try to guess who wins Rookie of the Year, who wins the 500, and who lifts the Astor Cup!

Listen in and enjoy, and see you for our MotoGP special next week!

You know you’re a badass when you can extend a race by an extra lap and cripple a Formula E field… Just because you can.

Welcome to Formula E in Mexico, Round 3 of the World Championship, and we had a genuinely great time with this one. We had Edo Mortara gunning for pole sideways in a brilliant set of improved Duels, and that was the pre-show!

Mexico City’s ePrix was a superb race. We had some great action up the front as Mortara, Frijns, the Porsche’s and the DS Techeetah’s up the front. But we were all bamboozled by Porsche’s second half of the race, saving energy, taking the front of the field and then dominating to take a 1-2 finish.

They even had time to sprinkle in a little of the classic Formula E chaos as with just a second left on the clock, the Porsche’s crossed the line to extend the race by an extra lap, and it wrecked havoc with the midfield as Jaguar and Avalanche were caught napping as they were essentially out of battery. And in all of that, Pascal Wehrlein finally gets his first Formula E win, and this time, he got to keep it! We break it all down, as well as a surprisingly docile Andre Lotterer following Pascal home in 2nd!

But this race was absolutely happily fun-times, so of course, this’ll be our last race for two months. See you in Rome on April 9th, but it’s genuinely great to be enjoying Formula E again, so enjoy the show!

Welcome back to Formula E everyone! And now, with added Children’s Card Games, because it’s time to Duel!

Formula E’s new controversial Duel Format took centre stage on Friday as part of the series revamp and trying to create a more competitively balanced series… Did it work? We’d like to think so, but it might have also created other problems we discuss in the show regarding entertainment value.

We also spoke about the Alexander Sims crash in Race 2 and the awkward recovery that came with it as a tractor, a big ol’ queue, and a Safety Car under yellow. We discuss the incident itself, some of the safety related backlash on social media, and why it might be unfair to pin all the blame on Race Direction (Given that seems to be the wave at the moment.)

We also take a look at the state of play of the current field and how the entertainment and craziness within the series might actually be fading away with the moves the series has made. Do we actually want the Mercedes powered cars to run away with it? Is a more restrained Formula E a better Formula E? We discuss it all on Motorsport101!
