Motorsport101

Okay, again, a little weird, if you're on YouTube, yes, this is the full Episode 290 of Motorsport101, including the Season Preview for Formula E we uploaded there early. Also in the episode, we get miserable over the Daytona 500, despite the underdog winner in Michael McDowell, and talk about the possibility of whether F1 might finally bring in Sprint Races. Enjoy!

It's truly the presence of a miracle! The boys finally convinced Dre to watch a Sports Car race! And it was a damn fun Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona as Wayne Taylor Racing took a hat-trick and fourth win in the last five years! We talk about them, the Cadillac and Kevin Magnussen's debut, and heartbreaking finish, and we laugh at LMP3's Meme Class! We also catch up on all of January's news, and Dre we...

A much, MUCH requested Watch Party from years ago, as the boys sit down and watch along to Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, a film that probably did more to capture the spirit of NASCAR than Days of Thunder did! WARNING: We watched the unrated, Director's Cut version of the movie, it's about 15 minutes longer than the cinema version. Now, note, the unrated version contains multiple abl...

Now, I know what you're thinking - You're quite right, Episodes 285 and 286 are missing! That's intentional, they're both still in the works, but we wanted to get this episode out first, we recorded this on Wednesday and it involves a full preview of IMSA's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, featuring a full run down of the field and state of play! We also catch up with January's news, including a surpris...

Finally, we got the F1 season over and done with! In this episode, we review an absolute snoozer of an Abu Dhabi GP, as Max Verstappen dominated from start to finish over a surprisingly subdued Mercs, and a less than 100% Lewis Hamilton returning from his COVID-19 case. We also discuss McLaren selling off 33% of their team to a sports group and discuss the changes in the WEC as the Hypercar catego...

Behold, the Bahrhombus! This was our Motorsport101 Race of the Year and for good reason. We covered all of the George Russell substitution and how he was robbed of the win. Twice. How Sergio Perez went from 18th on the opening lap to win, as well as midfielders taking up the entire Top 5. And the long-term ramifications of Lewis Hamilton missing the race, Russell's future, and a moment for Sergio...

WARNING: This episode features heavy discussion on a near-fatal accident. Despite Grosjean being okay, you may find the discussion upsetting. Discretion is advised. Continuing our trip down memory lane with the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir, and the moment F1 stood still, with Romain Grosjean's accident at Turn 3 the forefront of an overshadowed race. We break it all down in this extended special e...

And on Day 366 of March 2020, or as much as it feels that way, the final M101 of 2020 is here, as we celebrate the end of one of, if not, the greatest season of Motorsport, we've ever covered on this show, with MotoGP's Season Finale at Portimao, Portgual. And on this one, Miguel Oliveira had the homecoming of dreams as he took a Grand Slam on home turf in complete dominance, as the new Champions...

Next up on the weekend of Champions, Joan Mir and the penultimate race in MotoGP's season, as while Franky Morbidelli and Jack Miller beat the crap out of each other, Joan Mir played it safe and made history as the sport's first-ever, ONE-win Champion. We spoke at length about the history made as Suzuki won the riders and teams championships, their first major honours in 20 years, in the 100th ann...

The furious rewind flashback saga continues with a look back at the Turkish Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton recovered from a very slippery Istanbul, rain affected GP, to smash the field, and more importantly, capture his 7th straight World Title, and matching Sebastian Vettel for his 4th title in a row. We also had a dramatic race behind as Sergio Perez got back on the podium, Lance Stroll had hi...

Hey, remember when Joan Mir won his first MotoGP race? Feels like ages ago, and it was! But here's us talking about the European Grand Prix, with Joan Mir winning his 1st GP, Iannone's drug appeal failing spectacularly, and Sam Lowes hitting the deck as his season started to collapse. Enjoy!

Okay, first and foremost, sincere apologies for the delays here. Been a busy time IRL and we're still playing catchup. We've taken a week off from recording, so we'll get back up to speed soon, promise. Here's Episode 277 from Imola, featuring Hamilton's comeback win, Verstappen's title chances going pop, and Daniel Ricciardo sneaking another podium finish. Oh and Valentino catching COVID. Whoops....

And as a palette cleanser, a shorter episode on a relatively tame MotoGP second race at Aragon, as Franky Morbidelli dominated from start to finish - Alex Marquez was due for a big comeback again before dropping it, and Sam Lowes absolutely destroyed the field in Moto2!

History made - Despite there being less fanfare for this than Lewis tying the record last week, but Hamilton now stands alone with his 92nd race win at the unique track of Portimao. He turned around a chaotic start where CARLOS SAINZ LED (No really), beat Valtteri Bottas, and then the field by miles. We also had a Lando Norris heated moment, and Max Verstappen pissed everyone off with ableist slur...

You can only surpress it, you cannot stop it. And that thing is Scott Dixon, and Championships. Despite a late charge from Josef Newgarden and an excellent win in the final round in St Pete, it was Dixon that took his 6th IndyCar title. We break down St Pete itself alongside Josef's win, James Hinchcliffe's return and wreck, Takuma Sato bringing back his old catchphrase, and a final look at the se...

*glass breaks* THAT'S ALEX MARQUEZ'S MUSIC MotoGP headed back to Spain for the first of two weekends there, and in a fascinating Aragon GP, it was Alex Rins who came out of nowhere to take a tight win, but Alex Marquez proved that Le Mans was no fluke! We also had a trio of high title implicating crashes in Moto2, and a controversial track limits no-call in Moto3 as Jaume Masia denied Raul Fernand...

Lewis Hamilton ties history with his 91st career win! He didn't have it all his own way as Bottas took the early lead, but Lewis soon took full advantage of a Bottas error, and a battery failure from his teammate. We also break down Nico Hulkenberg making another shock reappearance for Racing Point,rumours of a new Brazilian GP in Rio's backyard, and a crazy twist in IndyCar silly season as Oliver...

Just when you thought this MotoGP Season couldn't get any weirder, Danilo Petrucci goes and wins a race in the middle of his horrible season. AND ALEX MARQUEZ WAS 2ND, GOOD LORD. Nothing let a wet race for us to go mad over, and we got another classic at Le Mans! We also got a heartbreaker of a Moto2 race for Jake Dixon as a late crash gift wrapped Sam Lowes a Dub, and a chaotic Moto3 with McPhee...

A loaded 75 minutes of show on this one, as we review both of IndyCar's awesome Harvest GP's in Indianapolis. We had Herta and Veekay going at it hard in Race 1 only for Newgarden to steal the win, and Herta trying to break the great wall of Power in Race 2! We also review Honda's shock departure from F1 in 2021, and an unfortunate return of FIGHT CLUB as the World Karting Championship goes haywir...

Can you tell we struggled for a name on this one? MotoGP returns to Catalunya as Fabio Quartararo took a dub at one of his favourite tracks, but not without a scare from Joan Mir, but a shock from Valentino Rossi falling easily towards the end. We also talk Moto2 as Luca Marini and Sam Lowes had a big scrap for a win that the Italian prevailed in, and Moto3 where the title favourite Albert Arenas...

Happy 6th Anniversary to Motorsport101, our very first episode was Sochi 2014. What an omen. In this episode, we break down F1 in Russia as Lewis Hamilton cost himself a W before the race even started, via two illegal practise starts of all things. It cleared the way for Valtteri Bottas to take his first win since opening day, and put Verstappen between the Mercs again. We also had some fun in the...

Welcome to the good ol' catchup show! In this edition, Cam talks about a relatively tame "End of an Era" Le Mans with no fans. We mention World Superbikes as Jonathan Rea took control of the Championship and Garrett Garloff surprised all the Americans in the room, and talk NASCAR as Bubba Wallace's big Free Agency signing was revealed... A seat at Michael Jordan's new race team, ran by Denny Hamli...

So we go back to Misano for Round 2 of MotoGP's doubleheader in San Marino. Francisco Bagnaia leads pretty comfortably until 7 laps left, and then falls in shocking fashion, enabling Maverick Vinales to sweep up the crumbs and take his 1st win of the season, and the 5th different winner in the last 5 rounds. We break down a dramatic 2nd coming in Misano, as well as a heated fight between Pol Espar...

IndyCar headed to a doubleheader in Ohio sd RJ takes the reigns with King and Chris DeHarde! Talking Points from Mid-Ohio - Josef Newgarden reduces Scott Dixon's points lead from 96 to 72 - Race 1: Will Power wins from pole position in a Penske 1-2 http://www.imscdn.com/indycar_media/documents/2020-09-12/indycar-race-results.pdf - Race 2: How big was Colton Herta's win, Andretti Autosport sweeping...

So, a brand new race at Mugello and an interesting one it was. Hamilton had to work hard for win #90 and we had not one, but two red flags as Ferrari limped through their 1000th GP! We also got a chaotic F3 season finale, and F2 too! Formula One Grande Premio della Toscana 1000 (at Mugello!) Lewis Hamilton wins #90, and if his shirt makes you uncomfortable, good - I hope he continues to beat all o...
