The Motorsport REView

After the long unscheduled 5 week spring break, the Formula 1 season finally resumed racing in the 305! Based around the Hard Rock stadium, the Miami International Autodrome once again gave F1 an event like no other and featuring that same bloody Will Smith song non-stop across social media... Almost as bad as Perry and Luis for some reason deciding to record the whole episode with sunglasses on, but whatever!Another rules tweak, a sprint weekend, many car updates, and an impeding thunderstorm on Sunday meant that there was no end of drama to be found throughout an action packed weekend. Would Mercedes and Kimi Antonelli once again be the dominant forces, or could the chasing pack start to haul in their Championship leads?As mentioned during the episode, here it the link to the Coffee Corner Motorsport article on Red Bull's dual team ownership. https://coffeecornermotorsport.com/red-bull-dual-ownership/If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

Reaching new limits for the Motorsport REView, this week we look into the world of sim racing and the F1 Sim Racing World Championship. Event 2 of the 2026 season featured 3 races over 2 days at the F1 technology and media centre in Biggin Hill. We also used this chance to ask the question, does sim racing count as real racing?Making the argument for sim racing is up and coming commentator Omi who regularly applies his talents to the virtual world. Reluctantly, Perry makes the opposing case and discusses his previous simulator racing experiences (sorry).We need your help on a special birthday project for Alayah - the young girl who captured the hearts of many when she got a tour of the McLaren Technology Centre last year with Lando Norris. She also been very busy making her "Foot Doon Lando" bracelets to make money for the Heel and Toe Charity. Her parents are asking as many people as possible to record short video messages wishing Alayah happy birthday. If you would like to contribute, you can either send videos to the Motorsport REView through our various channels. Alternatively they can be sent directly to the project at the following account:https://www.instagram.com/walk_with_alayah/Get the videos in before May 23rd, thank you!If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

As Formula 1 continues it's extended early season break, motorsport series are either beginning their seasons or continuing to ramp up. Indycar arrived in Long Beach for round 5, joined by the Sportscars of the IMSA Weathertech Series. It offered a direct comparison around the Californian streets to directly compare the 2 forms of racing. Meanwhile WEC kicked off it's season in Imola with a 6 hours race, offering a race rule by long term strategy decisions.Discussing the merits and rewards of what the weekends races had to offer, Perry is joined by motorsport superfan Nicola to breakdown the races and simply to talk about discovering and enjoying a variety of different racing disciplines.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The hype around the NLS series has never been higher with Mx Verstappen gearing up to take on the Nurburgring 24 hour race in May, but what is the series about, and how would the viewing figures be affected without Team Verstappen Racing taking part? Perry is joined by Cassandra discussing our views on the race, where GT racing is currently, and break down the news that Gianpiero Lambiase is to join McLaren. PLUS Cassandra shares her experiences working within the British GT paddock!Ben and Cassandra are working on some great projects around all manner of motorsports and paddocks!

The Formula 1 circus arrives for round 3 of the 2026 season at one of the greatest race circuits in the world - host of the Japanese Grand Prix, the Suzuka circuit! The flowing esses that define sector 1, the high speed degner corners, the technical challenge of the spoon corner, and the flat out ride of 130R - Suzuka features some great challenges and offers the new 2026 F1 cars a real challenge.Talk of the batteries in the new power units once again dominated talk throughout the weekend, with a rule tweak ahead of the weekend, and particularly scary incident in the race leading to more statements after the race... Here to dissect all the technical jargon and to review the racing action, Perry is joined by Williams Engineer Ben Hebbourn.Ben and Cassandra are working on some great projects - currently focused around tours of Lapland, but soon around all manner of motorsports and paddocks!

After the 2 opening Grand Prix of the new era of Formula 1 were dominated by battery talk, what else could we review in the first week off than Formula E! It was an exceptionally busy week in the series - all of the drivers signed a letter to the FIA asking for more consistent stewarding, before a team announced they were leaving the Championship at the end of the season, before a team announced they were joining the Championship, and this was all before the racing itself! Add to that a rookie test taking place the day after the ePrix,and you have yourself a complete week in Formula E. Phew!We have reviewed Formula E a number of times already here at the Motorsport REView. So attempting to offer an alternative view, Perry brought in Andy to watch this race. Andy has watched a number of Formula E races in the past and it has never quite captured him, but could the Madrid ePrix sway him in any way? Is Formula E better or worse for running on the purpose built race circuits rather than temporary street circuits? And what does Pit Boost offer the series strategically?If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The beginning of the new Formula 1 era has come under a lot of criticism both from within the paddock and by the fans alike. Is the new power unit too complicated to understand, and is the racing becoming artificial? We didn't have long to wait before we got towards the answers as round 2 of the 2026 Championship follows immediately and gives us the first sprint weekend of the season no less!Discussing the form guide and what we have made of the racing so far, Perry is joined by Eddie to give their early verdict on the new 2026 regulations. Does F1 and the FIA have a number of issues they need to step in to address, and if so how long do they wait? And what did we make of young Kimi Antonelli's first Grand Prix victory?If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The dawning of the new Formula 1 era - new cars, new rules, new racing! The Australian Grand Prix did not just launch the 2026 Formula 1 season, it launched the new generation of Formula 1. But with change comes criticism. Slower laptimes, more dependence on battery management, so does new always mean better?Joining Perry this week is Richard from CNK Motorsports, an Australian racing fan who was at the Grand Prix. We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly side of the new F1. But we REALLY want to hear your verdicts on this one - just what did you think about the Australian Grand Prix?

A review of the World Rally Championship has long been overdue here at The Motorsport REView, and what better rally could there be to kick off with than the Rallye Monte Carlo - the most prestigious rally of the calendar. The iconic rally kickstarts the WRC season along treacherous ice covered mountain roads, and features a fan favourite super special stage on the streets most will recognise from the Monaco Grand Prix.Resident rally enthusiast David returns to discuss the events with Perry, including both a look back at the 2025 season, a look ahead to the rest of 2026, and beyond! It was fair to say that the 2026 edition of the Monte Carlo Rally was a classic given the difficult conditions faced by the drivers, and the standout full debut for Oliver Solberg - definitely a name to keep an eye on in the future.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The winter period is incredibly important for junior racing drivers - recharging, signing sponsors, and... racing? Yes the best way to keep those driving and racing skills from getting rusty over the off season is to keep on racing, and the Formula Winter Series provides a great setting for young drivers to do so!Set across Portugal and Spain in Formula 4 machinery, the Formula Winter Series is a support event to the Winter GT Series. Round 2 was set around the utterly stunning Portimao circuit in predictably cold and wet conditions, with over 30 yound drivers looking to hone their skills ahead of Formula 4 campaigns around the globe. Perry is joined by up and coming commentator Omi to discuss all the action from the 3 races of round 2, and look ahead both to the remaining rounds of Formula Winter Series and beyond!If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The 2026 Formula 1 season is officially launched! Well, shaken down at least... But do you know your shakedown from your pre-season test (no, us neither)? What about flo-viz and aero rakes? And why is everyone constantly saying to ignore the laptimes?! Look no further than this handy guide to testing in Formula 1.Joining Perry for the testing debrief is someone who knows all there is about testing. Ben Hebbourn currently works on the communications systems for Williams, and previously worked for McLaren as part of their in season test team. A fantastic guide I am sure you will agree to everything we can tell from the early running in 2026, and to make some VERY early predictions on the form guide so far.Ben is working on some great projects - currently focused around tours of Lapland, but soon around all manner of motorsports and paddocks!

Our first review of 2026 takes us back to the Dakar Rally, the world's toughest motorsport event bar none. 13 stages over 15 days kick start the year as cars, bikes, and trucks attempt to navigate 7,900km of the rocky and sandy terrain of the Saudi Arabian desert.The Dakar Rally was my favourite "discovery" of our 2025 reviews. There is something truly magic about this journey and the cameraderie shared by all of the competitors, and yet the very real dangers of traversing a desert landscape always loom. My navigator through the dunes was motorsport superfan David, who each year creates a handy guide to the Dakar Rally for new fans, exactly like myself!

Has the 2025 Formula 1 season really finished already? 24 races FLEW by and of course it was McLaren and Lando Norris that have claimed the Championships - who could have predicted that? Well prior to the season beginning, myself and Keith tried to do exactly that! But how did we do?In the second half of the season review, we look at the top 5 teams of 2025. Surprises, disappointments, mid-season personnel swaps, and one of the all time great drivers tries to overcome the greatest points deficit a World Champion would ever face. Surely not eve Verstappen could do it, could he? We also find out the final results from Perry and Keith's pre-season predictions, could Keith overcome the 4 point deficit from part 1? As discussed towards the end of the last episode, a wonderful young girl called Alayah has turned adversity in her own life and turned it into a strength to help others. She has spent her spare time to make "Foot Doon Lando" bracelets that she has been selling to raise money for Heel and Toe Charity, a Children's charity in the North East of England raising money to help children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities.

This is it - 23 F1 weekends have been and gone, and it all comes down to 1 final Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris. Only 1 of them would be crowned the 2025 F1 Drivers Champion, and separating each from that finding out that destiny was 58 laps the Yas Marina circuit. There were countless permutations and scenarios, but ultimately they knew their tasks. For Piastri and Verstappen, they HAD to win the race. For Norris, he had to be on the podium.What followed probably won't be remembered as the greatest Grand Prix to have ever graced the sport, however it was tense from the moment the lights went out, to the moment they passed the chequered flag. Verstappen did everything that he could, Piastri rolled the dice with an alternate strategy, but it was Lando Norris that got the job done. But it was far from easy as he was chased throughout by a determined Charles Leclerc, trying somehow to wrestle just 1 more podium visit from the mightily disappointing SF-25.Joining Perry to discuss the concluding Grand Prix of he 2025 season, Tom Cairns and Corrinne Bowers give their verdicts on expectations going into the showdown, and what we witnessed within it.As discussed towards the end of the episode, a wonderful young girl called Alayah has turned adversity in her own life and turned it into a strength to help others. She has spent her spare time to make "Foot Doon Lando" bracelets that she has been selling to raise money for Heel and Toe Charity, a Children's charity in the North East of England raising money to help children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. Somehow, some disgusting people have posted some vile comments and messages simply for being a Lando Norris fan.Please show some love (and I'm sorry that I haven't already) if you can and remind Alayah that the F1 community has a lot of decent members too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146857388363https://www.instagram.com/walk_with_alayah/https://www.threads.com/@lynseystorey92https://heelandtoe.org.uk/https://www.threads.com/@heeltoecharityIf you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

After the double disqualification for McLaren in Las Vegas, the Drivers Championship has never been closer - Lando Norris holds a 24 point lead over both Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri. The penultimate round of the 2025 F1 season is already upon us, and and sprint weekend in Qatar is the only event left ahead of that season finale in Abu Dhabi. Could either Verstappen or Piastri stop Norris from clinching the Championship this weekend?After taking a dominant sprint race victory, Oscar Piastri took pole position for the Grand Prix itself ahead of title rivals Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. With overtaking proving so difficult around the Losail circuit, the run to turn 1 would be crucial, but would the mandated 25 lap maximum tyre stint length become a factor through the rest of the rest, or would it dictate the strategy for the teams? Could anyone else get amongst the Championship protagonists to steal a podium visit? And where would the remaining points be shared as both teams and drivers look to score some late season Championship positions? Eddie and Luis are back to discuss all of the talking points with Perry.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

After the double disqualification for McLaren in Las Vegas, the Drivers Championship has never been closer - Lando Norris holds a 24 point lead over both Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri. The penultimate round of the 2025 F1 season is already upon us, and and sprint weekend in Qatar is the only event left ahead of that season finale in Abu Dhabi. Could either Verstappen or Piastri stop Norris from clinching the Championship this weekend?The first hurdle was the Sprint race itself, 19 laps of the Losail circuit under the lights. Whilst all of the talk heading into the weekend seemed to be about Verstappen closing in on a possible 5th World Drivers Championship, it was Piastri who claimed Sprint pole ahead of George Russell. Would he be able to convert pole to a win and keep the pressure on Norris? What could Verstappen do from 6th position?

This is it - the final triple header of the F1 season and the final 3 Grand Prix weekends to decide who will be the Formula 1 World Drivers Champion! Norris, Piastri, Verstappen - who will it be? Kicking off the last races, Formula 1 heads to sin city and the lights of Vegas as racing returns to the strip. Cold dusty conditions greet the drivers around this street circuit, and in 2025 we got a new component in the form of rain too! The high speed, low grip, nature of the circuit was not expected to play to the strength of the McLaren's here, so would we see Verstappen make a dent into the Championship advantages of Norris and Piastri? Could Mercedes once again spring a surprise after dominating the 2024 Grand Prix?As it turns out, we were truly treated to a fascinating Grand Prix weekend. One of the best qualifying sessions of the year in tricky conditions, a race with both battling and strategy at play, and then the Championship bombshell that saw both the McLaren's disqualified due to excessive plank wear. Could this be the race that saw the Championship go Verstappen's way? Discussing the weekend with Perry is Jimmy from the Papaya Pod - a must listen for all McLaren fans!

As Formula takes 1 last weekend off before the Championship ending triple header, we take a look back at the the NASCAR Cup Series Championship deciding race hosted at Phoenix. The playoff format employed by the series guarantees that 4 drivers arrived in Phoenix with the chance to claim the Championship - Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Kyle Larson, and Chase Briscoe. But who would walk away with the ultimate prize in 2025?Perry is joined by NASCAR Cup Series fan Luis this week, with the task of changing our early season verdict of the series... Armed with a Championship to be decided and watching the entire race and not just the highlights, would Perry be won over at the second time of trying?

The busy Sprint weekend schedule leaves no time to rest - following dramatic Sprint race, action resumed with the Brazilian Grand Prix itself. After Lando Norris took a narrow win from Kimi Andrea Antonelli in the Sprint, they would both line up alongside each other once again for the Grand Prix itself. But it was Leclerc starting 3rd, relegating Championship hopeful Piastri to 4th. And Verstappen? Well a disappointing qualifying session left him starting from the pit lane.Could Norris secure the win and with it a huge step towards the Championship? Could Antonelli claim a first Grand Prix victory in his rookie season? What could Piastri do from 4th on the grid? What could Verstappen do from the pit lane? All will be discussed by Perry, Luis and Eddie!Shout out to Terry at Coffee Corner Motorsport - go give his website and social media accounts a follow!https://coffeecornermotorsport.com/If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

4 Grand Prix, 3 Championship contenders, 2 Sprint races left, 1 point between the McLaren drivers - the numbers don't lie, the end of the 2025 Formula 1 season is going to be one for the record books! And if it wasn't exciting enough, Interlagos usually offers some of the best racing of the season and is the best suited to the current Sprint weekend format.Lando Norris continued where he left off in Mexico by securing Sprint pole, but could Oscar Piastri or either of the fast paced Mercedes duo offer a threat in the Sprint race? With heavy rain hanging in the area, drama was all but guaranteed!

Just 5 race weekends remain in the 2025 F1 Championship, and next up is the Mexican Grand Prix around the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Located in the heart of Mexico City, the circuit is situated over 2km above sea level, meaning air is at a premium. The cars will run with Monaco wing levels, but will only be able to generate Monza levels of downforce! And with the track not being used often during the year, grip is incredibly difficult to come by. Off the back of scoring maximum points in Austin and reducing the Championship deficit down to just 40 points, Max Verstappen arrives in Mexico in red hot form. Is there anything that either of the McLaren drivers can do to upset the form guide? Ferrari also enjoyed a competitive weekend in Austin, could they continue the trend and deliver another podium? And what could the 9 rookies produce as they get a chance to experience F1 machinery during FP1?Reviewing the Grand Prix alongside Perry is McLaren superfan Keith - but we promise not to be too biased to the papaya squad!

The 2025 F1 Championship is ramping up nicely as the end of the season approaches, so what better time for a Sprint weekend than in Austin. The Circuit of the America's has served Max Verstappen very well over the years, so he will be looking to take maximum points and make another dent into the Drivers Championship lead of the McLaren pair. After winning the sprint race from pole position, Max Verstappen once again lined up on pole for the Grand Prix itself. Could he repeat his win, or could Lando Norris and the rest of the chasing pack put a stop to Max's hold on the United States Grand Prix? A number of teams and drivers were looking to bounce back from a disappointing Sprint, and could Ferrari surprise again after showing good pace?

The Circuit of the America's has served Max Verstappen very well over the years, so he will be looking to take maximum points and make another dent into the Drivers Championship lead of the McLaren pair. 19 laps from lights out to the chequered flag and with no pitstops required, could Verstappen go on to convert his Sprint Pole into a Sprint win? Could the chasing McLaren pair demonstrate the once dominant performance of the MCL39? And what could the chasing pack bring to the table in terms of action, lead by the outstanding Nico Hulkenberg from a dizzying 4th place?

The single seater motorsport ladder has many options on the way to Formula 1 sitting as the pinnacle. Although there is no set route or defined ranking to the various series, one of the very top rungs often gets overlooked and does not have the popularity that it probably deserves...Super Formula is one of (if not the) Japan's top motorsport series alongside Super GT. It boasts to have the fastest cars outside of Formula 1, and has been the final proving ground for many F1 drivers over the years. So is there a reason why it seemingly does not have the following befitting of such a series, or is it just on the cusp of becoming more popular amongst the motorsport fanbase?Discussing Super Formula with Perry is Luis - we review rounds 1 and 2 of the 2025 season held at Suzuka.

With the European races completed, F1 entered the final phase of the 2025 season. Starting with the home of the night race, the Singapore Grand Prix. Last year saw Lando Norris take a commanding victory ahead of Max Verstappen, which had fans asking whether he could really overturn the deficit and make it a Championship fight. This year roles are reversed, so could Verstappen take a win that proved his Championship hopes were real?McLaren squandered the first chance to wrap up the Constructors Championship in baku, so would they take the second chance and make amends under the lights of Singapore? A podium finish for either McLaren driver would do it, but maybe Mercedes and Ferrari could offer one last reprieve to their celebrations?Joining Perry this week to discuss the Grand Prix, fellow McLaren fan and McLaren Fanscast guest Andy Robinson steps up to offer his views on the weekend.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

Known for some chaotic races in the past, Formula 1 arrived in the city of wind for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But would McLaren return to their early season form and blow away the competition, or would Verstappen and Red Bull continue their good form from the previous race at Monza on another low downforce circuit? To discuss all the happenings (and perhaps more apt, the not happenings...) from the weekend, Perry is joined this week by both Eddie and Luis. Is the Championship pressure getting to Piastri? Is Verstappen still in Championship contention? How smooth and operation did Sainz and Williams execute?Apologies for some of the connection issues experienced during this recording.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

Round 16 of the 2025 Formula 1 season brings us to Monza, the temple of speed! With the characteristics of the circuit being so extreme, it offers teams a chance to upset the form book and perhaps score more points. Could Lando Norris bounce back from the disappointment of Zandvoort, or would this offer McLaren's rivals one of the best chances to claim a win?Well if Max Verstappen thought that dominating in mighty fashion would be the biggest story of the weekend, he was unfortunately mistaken! Yes we of course debate the dilemma that McLaren managed to find themselves in, as well as some more questionable FIA decisions and penalties...

F1 returns from the summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, home of the oranje army. For the first time in his career, Max Verstappen arrives at his home Grand Prix without being the favourite for the win. With the roar of his adoring fans behind him, was there anything Verstappen and Red Bull could do to stop the run of McLaren domination? Or would McLaren make it five 1-2 finishes in a row?Joining Perry this week is Dutch motorsport fan Amber, to discuss the battle for the World Drivers Championship, the increasingly tense Ferrari vs Mercedes fight for 2nd in the Constructors standings, and to review the latest eyebrow raising antics of the FIA.

What is the difference between them though, and why is there a sense that the line between them is getting more blurred?Andy Donnelly is my guest this week to discuss the various racing series around the world, including why DTM has lost it's identity, how BTCC has remained strong within the UK, and what we think about the likes of Super GT, World Touring Cars, and the Australian Supercars Championship.

The 2025 Formula 1 Championship reached the halfway mark at the British Grand Prix, and what a race Silverstone and the British weather delivered to mark the occasion! Changeable conditions made it very tricky for drivers and strategists alike, but it was once again the McLaren duo battling it out for 1st and 2nd. But the story of the weekend undoubtedly belonged to Nico Hulkenberg and Sauber, who spectacularly mastered the strategy to claim a shock podium. A busy schedule this week means I couldn't commit to a recording time, and therefore couldn't arrange a schedule with a guest. Unfortunately that means you are left with just myself reviewing the Grand Prix alone. But I saw it as an opportunity to try my hand at making a Ted Kravitz notebook style review instead, though far less informed!...

The 2025 F1 season heads towards the halfway stage and is now deep in the European leg of the tour, continuing with the Austrian Grand Prix in the picturesque styrian hills. But don't let the stunning scenery fool you - this circuit has played host to many bloody battles over the years, and notably between team mates too. Turn 3 is so often a war ground, littered with the carbon fibre of previous fights - not least where the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as they fought for the 2016 title. Arriving as the 2 Championship contenders, will the McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri suffer the same fate?Talking about that brutal fight between the McLaren pair, the upturn in Ferrari pace, and that race ending collision for Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen, Keith returns to discuss all of the racing matters with Perry.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

Something slightly different this week, having spent the weekend attending both days of the BTCC at Oulton Park and enjoying all of the support series too in person. I took along a pair of microphones, and with no plans made in advance at all I wanted to see who I could record interviews with! I have mentioned before how open and accessible the paddock is, and this was my way of proving that to those yet to give BTCC a go.Joining me on the Sunday was my daughter Emilia, so I roped her in to discussing our weekend too! Now whilst she isn't the biggest fan of motorsport, this is our 3rd year running attending the Oulton Park round of the British Touring Car Championship. Her face beamed when I mentioned the prospect of interviewing drivers, so I just had to let her have a go! It also happened to be Steve Rider's final weekend presenting before retiring and I was SO LUCKY to get the chance to record his thoughts ahead of the weekend. However my new microphones were in their teething phase it seems so the audio was not playing ball at all! Gutted does not begin to describe how I felt in the edit when I listened back... Nonetheless, I wish Steve the absolute best in his retirement - Or is it promotion from presenter to fan?!If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The Le Mans 24 Hours is arguably the most famous motorsport event of the year, and last weekend saw the 93rd running of the race around the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe. Ferrari took overall honours for the 3rd yer running, but things didn't go all their way... And disclaimer, we recorded this episode before the news broke of the #50 Ferrari's disqualification from the race!Amber returns to discuss the event, having watched a staggering 20 hours of it live (and most of the remaining 4 hours back later too!). We give our verdict on the race, the TV coverage, and all of the other stories currently going on within the World Endurance Championship! The future looks bright...

The Formula 1 circus rolled into Montreal for the latest round of the 2025 season at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Over the last 2 weeks, Max Verstappen has dominated the headlines with the very real threat of a race ban looming having now racked up 11 penalty points on his race license. There was also the wait to see whether Lance Stroll would recover in time for his home race, and then the subsequent suspension of Derek Warwick from the stewarding just on the eve of the Grand Prix itself... This event is usually known for unpredictable weather, however the only storms threatening this weekends running were of the metaphorical type. We discuss the fallout from the McLaren's colliding, whether George Russell's victory was in doubt following Red Bull Racing's protest, and just what was happening with the FIA this weekend?

The legendary Le Mans 24 Hours takes place this coming weekend, the final of the races in 2025 that comprise the triple crown of motorsport. Endurance racing places the emphasise on teams to focus on reliability and fuel economy, and over the years teams have innovated incredibly clever car designs alongside perfecting trackside operations. Earlier this year we covered the Daytona 24 hours, the opening race of the IMSA Weathertech Championship, but what are the differences to Le Mans, what is WEC (World Endurance Championship), and who have been the team to beat so far in 2025?Joining me this week to preview one of the toughest races on the motorsport calendar, I am pleased to welcome Amber from the Netherlands - a Formula 1 and GT Sportscar fan who enjoys talking about the sport that she is passionate about. So basically, the exact person we love speaking with here at the Motorsport Review! If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The 2025 Formula 1 season continues it's relentless pace, completing another triple header with the Spanish Grand Prix. With the Madring in Madrid taking over from 2026, it was a farewell (at least for now) to the Catalunya circuit that has hosted the Spanish Grand Prix since 1991. But would it's final Grand Prix be one to remember?Keith returns from his trip to the Indy 500 to discuss the Grand Prix. Once again there were many different stories playing out across the race weekend, not least the much anticipated new front wing technical directive that some believed would shake up the current pecking order from the opening 8 races. And how would home heroes Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz fare?If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

The 109th running of the Indy 500 had already provided some incredible stories before the race itself - A rookie on pole position, multiple heavy crashes, guest entrants, and major controversy surrounding the top team. But here at the Motorsport REView, we were most excited that resident McLaren superfan Keith was venturing out to Indianapolis himself to be trackside for the race itself!Following an incredible race that seemed to feature just about everything a classic race should have, I checked in with Keith to ask about his experiences across the weekend, with a slight review of the race itself too!... Thank you to Keith for taking time out of his trip to speak to me, and to all those that helped Keith make this dream a reality - The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, American Airlines, British Airways, and TheTeeShop.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

On motorsport's biggest weekend of the year, Formula 1 heads to the streets of Monaco for its red ribbon event around the principality. Qualifying is always so important here where overtaking is incredibly difficult, but would the introduction of a mandatory 2 stop race make Sunday's race more exciting?Joined by Ferrari superfan Jason, we discuss that all important qualifying session, whether the rule tweak worked, and that all important question into whether the current Formula 1 cars have finally outgrown the Monaco circuit.If you enjoy what we do then please let us know - all of our social media links are below.

This weekend is the biggest of the racing calendar, with 2 events from the triple crown of motorsport taking place on the same afternoon. The Indianapolis 500 (or just the Indy 500 as it is often referred to) is one of the oldest motor races with a rich history, but what grants it the title of being "the greatest spectacle of racing"? Why have you heard fans talking about "the month of May"? And what do you need to know ahead of the race on Sunday?I am delighted to be joined by special guest Tom Gaymor, Sky Sports F1 commentator (amongst other roles!), talking about his career, the 2025 NTT Indycar Series Championship so far, and looking ahead to the main event and predictions. The 109th running of the Indy 500 has already provided some incredible stories so far - A rookie on pole position, multiple heavy crashes, guest entrants, and major controversy surrounding the top team. And that is all before the race! It is going to be an incredible race, and I hope you will all be watching on Sunday, whether Indycar veterans or joining for your first Indy 500!If you enjoy what we are doing then please follow us on social media, and make sure to follow Tom to join in with the discussion on race day.
