The APEX Podcast

Jordan and I dive into the rollercoaster that was the MotoGP weekend at Jerez — featuring what might just be the best sprint race yet, with mixed conditions throwing up a completely unexpected podium. Alex Márquez dominated from start to finish, sealing his second win at his home circuit, while Aprilia’s recent dominance finally hit a pause.We also chat about Quiles continuing his impressive run in Moto3, and what could have been for Alonso in Moto2 if not for a poor start. Away from the bikes, we cover Alan McNish’s return to the F1 paddock as Audi’s sporting director, the Turkish Grand Prix making its comeback next season, and how Sylvain Guintoli and Sebastian Vettel got on at the London Marathon.

Another wait was finally over—and the roar of touring cars signalled the start of a brand-new season at Donington Park.In this episode, Jordan and I dive headfirst into the opening rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, where the usual mix of chaos, contact, and close racing didn’t disappoint. One of the big talking points was how Jason Plato’s team fared as the season got underway—still early days, but plenty to unpack as the project begins to take shape. Meanwhile, Ash Sutton wasted no time stamping his authority on the grid, already looking like a serious title contender even at this early stage.We also highlight the continued determination of Nicholas Hamilton, whose presence in a competitive field remains one of the most inspiring and compelling stories in the paddock—proving once again that he belongs on merit.Across the Atlantic, it was another statement drive from Alex Palou, taking victory at the iconic Grand Prix of Long Beach in IndyCar Series. Naturally, that sparked a bigger debate: is Palou now firmly in the conversation as one of the top five motorsport drivers in the world?Over in the Superbike World Championship, Nicolò Bulega continued his dominant run with another victory at the legendary TT Circuit Assen. It raises the question—are we witnessing the start of a runaway season, or will the competition close the gap as the calendar unfolds?All this and much more features in a weekend packed with action—even in the absence of Formula One and MotoGP.

It feels like our second home…that’s what Jordan and I always say whenever we head to Silverstone Circuit.Over the years, we’ve experienced it in just about every way possible—watching Formula One, MotoGP and British Touring Car Championship, seeing Jordan compete in Formula Student, cycling 50 miles around the track, and even running a half marathon on this iconic circuit.In this episode, we’re chatting about everything that makes Silverstone so special to us—from camping and race-day atmosphere to getting involved in activities, live concerts, great food, and even meeting riders. It’s the full experience of visiting one of the world’s most famous racing circuits—and why we keep coming back.

Is it ever too early to start talking about the future in motorsport? We don’t think so…With only a handful of races gone in both Formula 1 and MotoGP, the rumour mill is already spinning at full speed. Whispers of driver moves, rider switches, contract clauses, and even potential retirements are beginning to surface across both paddocks—and you know we couldn’t ignore it.In this episode, Jordan and I dive headfirst into the early “silly season” chatter. Who might be on the move by 2027? Which teams could be lining up big changes behind the scenes?

The guard is changing…or at least, that’s how it feels after Round 2 of the Brazilian MotoGP.Aprilia Racing really stamped their authority—looking seriously strong in the sprint race and then backing it up with a stunning one-two finish in the main race. That’s definitely given the likes of Ducati Lenovo Team, Repsol Honda Team and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing something to think about moving forward.The race itself was shortened due to worsening weather and a deteriorating track, adding another layer of unpredictability to an already dramatic weekend.Elsewhere, there’s a real sense that the next generation is on its way—young talent in Moto2 World Championship continues to impress, while Moto3 World Championship once again delivered the kind of close, edge-of-your-seat racing we’ve come to expect.And that was just the start…Over in Formula E, racing in Madrid on a rare non-street circuit made for a refreshing and exciting spectacle.
