It’s a loaded smorgasbord of Racing here on Episode 505 of the Motorsport101 Podcast! We bring back Keepin It 101 here as RJ returns from the 12 Hours of Sebring over in IMSA as a member of the press and reports on one of the best races of 2024. We also talk NASCAR at Bristol as tyre wear was the order of the day and Denny Hamlin won a classic around the short track!
Then we get into our main event, the weirdness of Formula E as Sao Paulo… actually delivered. Sam Bird took his first win in the series since New York in 2021 as he nailed a late last corner pass on Mitch Evans to steal the win, as Jake Dennis, Pascal Wehrlein and Oli Rowland all fought for the final podium spot too. We also talk about how important the win is for Sam, McLaren’s 1st F-E win, and the series as a whole.
We also talk about the new nature of the series running – Peloton Racing. Is it a form of racing for the series that is sustainable long-term for Formula E’s future? A deep dive into it all on the latest M101 with Dre Harrison and RJ O’Connell!
