Sideways in WRC Sweden, Bump-Drafting in NASCAR Daytona 500 & Fireworks in Formula E Jeddah

This week on 'On the Grid' motorsport podcast, Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman take you on a thrilling journey through a weekend packed with racing action from across the globe. From the icy forests of Sweden to the banked oval of Daytona and the sun-soaked high-speed streets of Jeddah, we break down all the drama, excitement, and controversy.🇸🇪 WRC – Rally Sweden: Snowbanks, blistering pace, and daring drifts! We analise the action from Round 2 of the World Rally Championship, where Esapekka Lappi put on a stunning display, but it was Elfyn Evans and Toyota who emerged victorious after a tense battle. With narrow margins and breathtaking commitment on the snowy roads, we discuss the standout performances, key moments, and how the championship battle is shaping up.🇺🇸 NASCAR – Daytona 500: The Great American Race delivered its usual mix of speed, strategy, and chaos at Daytona International Speedway. With former U.S. President Donald Trump making an appearance, the off-track spectacle was just as headline-worthy as the on-track action. We break down how William Byron held his nerve to claim victory in a rain-delayed and crash-filled race, the late-race drama, and the big names who fell short. Plus, how is NASCAR’s new season shaping up after this classic curtain-raiser?🇸🇦 Formula E – Diriyah E-Prix (Jeddah): The all-electric series delivered another dose of unpredictable racing under the floodlights of Saudi Arabia, with a stunning Pole Position from Taylor Barnard and a podium full of Brits. However, one of the biggest talking points came from Dan Ticktum, who once again stole the headlines with an explosive team radio meltdown. We break down his latest outburst, what went wrong for him, and whether he’s running out of chances in top-tier motorsport.Three very different racing series, three completely contrasting styles of competition, but all equally entertaining! Tune in as we dissect the biggest moments, discuss what’s next for each championship, and, of course, hear Tiff’s legendary insights from a life spent behind the wheel.Buckle up—this is a motorsport weekend you won’t want to miss! 🎙️🏎️🏁Where to listen: Lovecars: https://lovecars.com/podcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4yTA0SRKquw4WkShhMNjoLApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lovecars-on-the-grid-global-motorsport-podcast/id1560811646?uo=4Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81NDZkZDUwNC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==--Follow the guys:Tiff: https://instagram.com/tiff_needellPaul: https://instagram.com/pwwKeep up to date: YouTube: https://youtube.com/lovecarsTVFacebook: https://facebook.com/lovecarsInstagram: https://instagram.com/lovecarsTwitter: https://twitter.com/lovecars Hosted on Acast.
