Gary Anderson joins Rob Widdows for the latest in our Engineering the Greats podcast series. The former Jordan designer tells how he started working life as a builder, then got his big break in F1 with Brabham as an engineer.
Moving on to McLaren, he worked with James Hunt and Alain Prost and was then in IndyCar before Eddie Jordan called him back to the UK — and F1 — where he would make his name designing the legendary Jordan 191.
A hell of a weekend in US Motorsport, so much so we had to make it an extra packed US special with Ryan Erik King joining Dre and RJ in the box!
We had to include NASCAR’s debut in Chicago and Shane Van Gisbergen’s incredible victory, the first debut win in NASCAR for 60 years. The last time that happened, it wasn’t even called The Winston Cup, and Johnny Rutherford was behind the wheel!
And of course, we cover IndyCar in Mid-Ohio as Alex Palou is at it again, with his third straight win as he dominated the race in Dixon’s signature round. With his fourth win since the Month of May, Palou now has a 110 point whopper of the lead, two weekends in hand, are we done for the season at the half way point?
And we also talk about Benjamin Petersen. No, really. He played a major role in the race as he was a lap down but still fighting Felix Rosenqvist for position. With multiple drivers complaining about his excessive blocking, is it time for the series to change its policy on blue flags?
And David Malukas has his Damian Lillard moment and says hes leaving Dale Coyne at the end of the season. Where does he end up?

It’s been a weekend of chaos and sadness in the world of racing.
In Austria, Max Verstappen won his 5th race on Austrian soil and 5th win in a row as Red Bull cement their greatest winning streak ever of 10 races. And they did it in style with a penultimate lap fastest lap attempt from the lead when Checo already held the bonus point. Talk about arrogance. Phew.
Also, we talk the best F1 Sprint of the format change so far, and how we got to 1,200 track limit incidents that had to be reviewed, a final result that took 5 hours to dispute via protest and 20 penalties handed out for track limits violations. A messy one, but with no easy solution.
And finally, a frank discussion on the state of Spa and junior racing as Motorsport mourns the tragic loss of Dilano van’ t Hoff after a horrible crash in a rain affected Formula Regional race in Belgium.
A sombre and important weekend, on Motorsport101.

Steve Hallam, who has worked with Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell and Mika Häkkinen joins Rob Widdows for another Engineering the Greats podcast in association with Scalextric.
From race engineering Senna to his first wins in F1, to witnessing Mansell’s inimitable racing style in its early years and being at the centre of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso’s fiery 2007 championship fight, the British engineer has had long a career at the very top.
Hear him describe what it takes to work and succeed day in, day out with legends of grand prix racing.
#468 KIA EV6. Gareth spends a week in Wales driving the GT Line version of Kia’s flagship electric car. Is it another hit from the mighty Korean conglomerate, or are good looks all this car has to offer?

Okay, this is now getting ridiculous. Alex Palou is super hot. He took control late on in the GP of Road America and has now taken his third win in the last four races and extended his Championship lead to 74 points over Marcus Ericsson.
And as a result, Dre and Cameron deep dive on the man’s future. Should Palou stay at Chip Ganassi as the fastest man/car combo in the series and potentially dominate for years to come? Should he still move to McLaren with an outside chance of an F1 seat? Or does he just leave the series altogether and go all-in for an F1 drive? We weigh up the options!
And the same goes for Marcus Ericsson too, who’s future is up in the air. Chip Ganassi is playing hard ball with an extension for the “Sneaky Swede” but still wants money for his seat, while McLaren are also sniffing with a potential four car expansion in the works. And all of this while Marcus Armstrong is proving his worth in the 11. Is Marcus overselling his own hand? Is Chip arrogant for thinking anyone can win in his cars? A deep dive there too!
We also talk the mess of Andretti again as a botched final stop denies Colton Herta a golden chance of winning his first race in over a year and murmurs that Romain Grosjean’s relationship with the team is under all sorts of strain.
And finally, BEEF. Will Power and Scott Dixon got into it with shoves, double bird salutes and a shit truck. Seriously, you have to hear it to believe it.
