The end of the season brings many rumors, and we go through all the ones we’ve heard up to this point. Some are more credible than others, and some are actually just confirmed at this point.
-
GT Cars in Indy
It’s the end of the season and Nicole is exhausted. That didn’t stop her from traveling to Indianapolis to see Kévin Estre drive a GT car at the speedway. But it also made her share some really strong opinions on 2026 as a whole.
-
Saved the Best for Last (Petit Le Mans)
The 2026 IMSA season came to a close, and we were there. We honor the fallen tributes, create a circus act, recount interviews, and of course talk about THAT win. The season was long and tough, but it was worth it in the end.
-
A Bit of Everything

-
Rumors, Rain, and Respect
Rumors should not be presented as fact by the media, can IndyCar use rain tires, and FYI everyone is allowed to be a fan and wear what they want at races.
-
The Rory Episode
The Meme Lord himself, Rory from Rory Talks Motorsport, is on for a full episode with us. Since we are friends, he’s basically a 4th co-host, but you might learn some cool stuff about him too!

Thank you for being with us for 100 episodes! This week we just talk about everything on our minds in the world of racing, which yes, does include Road America and Kévin Estre’s penalties. Also silly season rumors, Supercars, and Ford.
-
helmets, hotdogs, and crashes (Road America)
But we don’t really talk about the crashes much. Nicole was at Road America and drank some beer, asked about cheese, ate a hot dog, and held another helmet.
-
What is wrong with racing fans?
Has everyone lost every shred of common sense on the internet? We dig into the issues plaguing racing fans in online discourse. Also McLaren and Peugeot silly season theories.

Madness Before The Break
Ares has some ideas for an improved WEC calendar, we lament the summer break, and the Nashville IndyCar race was kind of a mess.

Ares went to Interlagos for the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo. He met drivers, online friends, fans of the show, and even got a surprise from a driver.

-
War and Chaos
Rory and Earl’s war continues on into a second week, and has expanded into Insta lives, merch, and more memes. There was chaos everywhere this weekend but especially online. It's just racecars.
-
Underwhelming or an Instant Classic?
Was Le Mans one of the best ever, or has the racing become so sanitized that it was simply underwhelming? Matt Campbell was confirmed in Ford’s Hypercar program for 2027. And somehow Nicole had FOMO at missing one of Kévin Estre’s races.
-
Wheels and a Steering Wheel (Le Mans Preview)
It’s Le Mans week! We’ve only been waiting a whole year for this. And according to Kévin Estre, a car has wheels and a steering wheel (Thanks Tereza Černá from MotorsportWeek for the quote) In addition to previewing the race, we finally get to discussing the 2030 regs and what they mean for the...
-
Motor City Madness/Mayhem/Misery (Detroit)
Nicole went to Detroit and finally sort of got coffee with Kevin. Or at least they were both at the same coffee shop, as you might have seen from Larry. Reactions to the race, the crashes and the fact that BOP might just be broken. And lots of coffee talk.
-
Porsche Rumors, The 500, Rowdy
Is Porsche coming back to WEC and how does that impact the current team? Felix Rosenqvist won the Indy 500. And we remember NASCAR legend Kyle Busch.
-
There Was A Race In Germany
We were not at the Nürburgring but we were online for it. And we saw a lot of questionable stuff. But not from Verstappen fans, from weird gatekeeper sportscar fans. We really all need to take a step back and be honest with ourselves about this situation.
-
Bananas in Gatorland (GTWC America Sebring)
Auston went to GT World Challenge America at Sebring. The liveries were great, the food was ok, there was no water, and Tom Sargent got a class win!

-
WTF is a kilogram? (Long Beach GP)
Nicole went to the Long Beach GP for IMSA and IndyCar and came back with a sunburn, a lot of stories, and a champagne soaked podium hat from Kévin Estre.
-
PPM Goes LMP2
Sportscar season really is back in full swing, so the topics range from Long Beach, to Carrera Cup France, to ELMS, to NLS, to GTWC (Europe and Asia), and even Le Mans. But you should probably expect that from us by this point.
-
Zachary Vanier: Porsche and Lambo Rising Star
We have Porsche and Lamborghini driver Zachary Vanier on the show. He brings us through his journey from racing snowcross to racing in the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship and GT World Challenge America. And yes, once again we ask THAT question.

Roxy is cooler than your livery
We are going to Sebring, Nicole and Travis went to Indycar at Arlington. We recapped and previewed NLS, and Auston remembered some more stories from St Pete. Also horses? And Bikes?
-
An Episode with Antares Au
Antares Au, the Piekeeper. You probably know him as a superb bronze rated Porsche driver, and now he’s also tackling WEC with Garage 59 McLaren. We go through his journey in motorsport, racing at Le Mans, and future plans. Yes, we also asked him “that question.” And, a pleasant surprise, he says...
-
Colin Braun Raced a Truck
There were a bunch of sportscar, er, Indycar drivers racing in St Pete this past weekend and Auston was there to see them. A full recap of his race weekend, plus a new bike instructor, and a very exciting Porsche lineup. We also dive into the issues with the WEC season opener in Qatar.
-
Kévin & Larry are a Bonded Pair of Kittens
The never-ending Indycar off-season finally comes to an end. What blue car is Porsche Penske going to run, and when? Can the #36 Alpine win Le Mans? Someone get Connor Zilisch some sage. And Carson Hocevar and Kévin Estre need to bond over Chili’s.
-
Shoeys at Bathurst
We have a second cycling instructor for Auston. Dylan Estre officially is doing Carrera Cup! The Bathurst 12 hour was 11 hours of Chaos and some crazy crashes. The Daytona 500… happened. And are the Formula E “Evo Sessions” worth it?
-
Invest in Dylan Estre
We are sponsoring Dylan Estre, and think everyone else should too. Auston needs to learn to ride a bike, so we have a new segment asking drivers to help. Lots of livery talk, as well as a picnic, US geography and French flag history? We were really all over the place this week.
-
More Daytona Stories
Obviously a lot happened at the Rolex 24, so obviously we forgot to talk about a lot of it last week. Ares gives his whole rundown on his view of the race from home. Nicole and Auston share more stories from the track. And we talk about some big news in IndyCar and Formula 1.
-
24 Hours of Fog
Bambi got a watch. We got stories. So many stories. And a race suit. And autographs on a kangaroo and a chili. And to hold a helmet. And a 3 Peat. And a 6 Peat.
-
BOP Gods, Please Spare Us
The wait is finally over, it’s Daytona week. Nicole and Auston are headed there and the question of the weekend is “Will Nicole remember she likes Car # 7 too?” Ford announced a bunch of lineups and some fun new liveries, Haas is kind of Toyota, maybe?
-
Daytona Liveries?
Livery announcements, livery predictions, bitcoin, AI, retro tributes. We have lots of thoughts on what liveries will run in IMSA this year. Plus, the IMSA BOP chatter ban, the NASCAR definitely-not-playoffs-Chase, and Dan Ticktum.
-
Laurens Vanthoor Defense Squad
More driver rankings means more opinions on those rankings. Since we aren’t really WEC media we can have hot takes on BOP and how it’s being done. We want Penske to do everything. The Iron Dames have reformatted, Genesis is still concerning us, and Will Power finally moved to Andretti.
-
2025 Rewind
2025 was the craziest year in the show’s short life, but honestly it was the craziest year in any of our lives too. Re-live the highlights of all FOURTEEN races we went to.
-
Matt & Larry Were Robbed
The Autosport top 50 was absolute robbery. Matt Campbell and Laurens Vanthoor were the biggest victims. But, shockingly, Nicole had a passionate defense of all 9 Ferrari Hypercar drivers. We have opinions about pretty much everyone on the list. Let us know if you agree!
-
Sportscars in December
Kyffin Simpson to Tower. WEC lineups galore. Asian Le Mans Series Sepang. Indycar superlicese points and independent officiating. And coffee, lots of coffee.

-
Just The Three Of Us
We are back to normal after our crazy episode with Kévin last week. Since it's the off-season, we are trying out some new things, including a longer, less planned out episode. Don't worry, thought, its still mostly about sportscars and Porsche.
-

Kevin Estre: Porsche Factory Driver, 2024 F1 World Champion (ok not really, but actually WEC Hypercar Champion), Guest on The Orange Flag Podcast. We talked food, family, music, and of course racing. There is even a wild story about Le Mans 2018.
