    The big season interlude episode
    Apr 4 2025
    Filling the gargantuan two month gap in the 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E world championship season, Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt discuss several key talking points before the campaign resumes at Homestead, Miami next week. The main topic of conversation is the messy collapse of an attempted takeover of the Maserati MSG squad, which Smith broke the news of recently. Details of the aborted deal are discussed, as is the future of the Monegasque team and how it can attract a new owner and investor. That topic segues nicely in to the potential future of the Stellantis brands – DS Automobiles and Maserati - as judgement day for these teams comes ever closer as they look at a long-term Formula E future in Gen4 for 2026 and beyond. The recent Evo Sessions initiative is dug in to with Smith and Van de Burgt discussing unfamiliar territory questions such as How MrBeast came to Formula E, was Brooklyn Beckham quick, and could Sue Pollard and Christopher Biggins be the next big formula E influencers?

    Jan 15 2025
    Nissan boss Tommaso Volpe joins host Andrew van de Burgt and chief reporter Sam Smith to analyse Oliver Rowland’s superb smash ‘n’ grab victory at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City E-Prix. Questions such as would Rowland have caught the Porsches without the intervention of the first safety car and will Nissan mount a serious challenge to Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa for the title are also dissected with Volpe. A poor race for Jaguar TCS Racing is mulled over, as are the prospects for the DS Penske team and Envision Racing who had contrasting fortunes in Mexico City. New venues such for 2026 and beyond such as Toronto are expanded upon, and could Cape Town and Santiago really return to the calendar? All this and the latest news and views from a busy paddock are tucked in to as Formula E enters 2025 with its usual vibrant twists. Want extra podcast content? Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon!

  • Reviewing the wild Sao Paulo season opener

    Reviewing the wild Sao Paulo season opener
    Dec 11 2024
    The 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship began with a bang in Sao Paulo with Mitch Evans taking an extraordinary last to first win in his new Jaguar Gen3Evo machine. That was only part of a dramatic landscape to a race that also included two red flags, the last of which was for Pascal Wehrlein’s inverted Porsche. The reigning champion emerged unscathed from the wreck after tangling with fellow assumed title rival Nick Cassidy’s already damaged Jaguar. Other stellar performances analysed include Taylor Barnard’s remarkable third place and Oliver Rowland’s strong weekend which was devalued and unrewarded due to team errors and poor reliability. We hear from Rowland and Barnard, as well as Jaguar TCS Racing boss James Barclay who describes some of the trickier moments from another complex and scintillating race. Host Andrew van de Burgt and reporter Sam Smith dive in to the fall-out from a spectacular opener that saw the true return of potent attack mode and an upswing in lap time largely thanks to All-Wheel-Drive and a new tyre compound.
