S5 Ep 24: Endurance Racing or Pacing?
About this episode
The episode discusses recent events in various motorsports, including endurance racing and Formula 1 strategies.
Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures! It seemed that everyone in endurance racing was a little too excited to go racing as the full course caution seemed to be deployed almost right after the green flag was thrown. Through the madness there was good racing such as the GTP battle at Watkins Glen which eventually saw the Whelen Cadillac take the overall win with Acura in 2nd and JDC Porsche in 3rd. For the Spa 24 hour race it was Lionspeed GP in their Porsche GT3 that took the overall win after starting 66th from the pit lane! This is the lowest starting position to win the race in its history. Formula 1 took to the hills of Austria and yes there were some side by side battles but it was a very interesting strategy race which saw mainly a battle of the two stop strategy with offsetting the laps to have fresher tires at the end. This resulted in the top 3 finishing within 2 seconds of one another! Shockingly SVG wins at Sonoma in Cup. Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Chicagoland, IndyCar is at Mid-Ohio, and Formula 1 is at Silverstone.
