Sorry this one took a little longer one to get out, as you're about to hear, it's a busy week for your man Dre, trust him on this one.

This is an extended episode of Motorsport101, given the circumstances of timings, we decided to merge a massive Silly Season explosion of stories in MotoGP, IndyCar's controversial latest addition to the calendar and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, into one episode!

MotoGP had Fabio Quartararo heavily hinted at moving to Honda, Jorge Martin going the other way to Yamaha, and Pedro Acosta replacing Pecco Bagnaia at Ducati. None of them official, but backed by Uri Puigdemont, which might as well make it kosher. We break down all the action in the first act of the show.

The second chapter has IndyCar add an 18th race to the schedule as it twerks for President Trump and races around the Capitol Building in Washington DC. Wonder if it'll be in the shape of the boot.

And finally, Porsche took glory at the Rolex 24 with the #7 car going back-to-back, and lead driver Felipe Nasr holding off Action Express's Jack Aitken to win by just 1.5 seconds, with the Brazilian driver taking his three-peat. A full review on top of all the news on a loaded M101!

It's that time again! For the last few years, we've covered the IMSA Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and this year is no exception! Along with Dre, is RJ O'Connell covering IMSA this season for Racer.com and DailySportsCar.com, and Cameron Buckley, who's sportscar knowledge is the reason he still hasn't paid rent yet!

All four of the classes are covered, including former Williams F1 driver Logan Sargeant making his debut via the LMP2 category and Era Motorsport, a fleet of IndyCar talent in the GTD categories including Scott McLaughlin, Kyle Kirkwood and James Hinchcliffe, and a car-by-car breakdown of everything in GTP, with 11 cars competing for likely outright victory.

Can a heavily update BMW be a more driveable car now they're away from Rahal control? Is Porsche, now solely focusing on IMSA when it comes to Sportscars, still have the operational excellence coming off the win last season. What about Acura, now with Alex Palou back for another run? And what will a heavily revived Cadillac bring to the table aiming to solve its top speed woes?

All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Forgive us for taking a little longer this year, both Dre and Cameron have been sick in recent weeks, but here is our bit first special of the year, looking back on the best, worst and everything inbetween in the 2025 M101 Awards, the 10th time we've done it!

We've got the best overtake as Kamui Kobayashi makes a brilliant appearance against the best of Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, who was the best series in Motorsport between IMSA, WEC, F1 and IndyCar? Who takes Rookie of the Year between Connor Zilisch and Isack Hadjar? And who made the biggest gains between Williams, Sauber and MotoGP's Alex Marquez!

And of course the hotly contest big trio of awards, who takes the infamous Golden Cock betwen NASCAR, the FIA and Papaya Rules, as well as Max Verstappen going head to head with Alex Palou yet again for Driver of the Year... can the Spaniard finally take it?
