  • 637: Catch-Up Time: MotoGP Silly Season, IndyCar's Capitol and a Rolex
    2026/02/05

    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!

  • 636: Episode #636: 2026 IMSA Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona Preview
    2026/01/22

    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!

    And in our final Podcast before Christmas, Dre, RJ and Cam sit down for a nearly 3 hour long roundtable on the 2025 Formula 1 Season.

    The gang go team-by-team to breakdown their strengths, weaknesses, and what to expect heading into a radical 2026 regulation change. From Alpine and a miserable surrender half way through the season, to Kick Sauber's great comeback under the helm of Jonathan Wheatley and HULKENPODIUM.

  • 633: Return Of The Marc - The 2025 MotoGP Season Review
    2025/12/14
    Return of the Marc, watch my flow, you know that I'll be back (Here I go...)

    Welcome to a bumper edition of the M101 Podcast as Dre, RJ and Cam review the 2025 MotoGP Season, with all the factories and their status spoken about as we enter a critical off-season!

    For Yamaha, is the switch to the V4 from their in-line history going to be enough for them to persuade Fabio Quartararto to sacrifice another two years of his prime to figure out. Is Honda going to sign a big hitter and if, which of their veterans are they going to release for them? And are they finally heading in the right direction?

    Is KTM about to be bought out from a new force from China, and if so, will that be enough to convince Pedro Acosta to stick around? Has Aprilia's progressed been masked by an injured Marquez? And what does Ducati do next after a messy season on and off the track?

    All that and more across 2 hours on Motorsport101!

  • 632: The Lando Way - F1 2025 Abu Dhabi GP Review
    2025/12/12
    The record shows, he took the blows, and Lando did it his way. He is your 2025 Formula 1 World Champion, doing just enough to survive the final assault from Max Verstappen, who did everything he could to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

    Dre Harrison and RJ O'Connell reflect on what was actually a rather milquetoast decider, where everything the formbook suggested, just happened. McLaren played it super safe, Red Bull gambled and won one last time, George Russell and Charles Leclerc couldn't quite play spoiler. But we talk deeply about Lando Norris and the unique character that's made him a World Champion, Max Verstappen still pulling off the nearly unthinkable to end up just 2 points off the table after a 104 point deficit from Zandvoort, and Oscar Piastri's key role as the season's main antagonist.

    We also talk about Fernando Alonso sneaking into the Top 6 in his final race of the year, Yuki Tsunoda actually taking a weaving penalty, and Helmut Marko being ejected from Red Bull Racing for getting a bit too keen to sign an Irish F2 ace...

  • 631: Max's Last Stand - F1 2025 Qatar Grand Prix Review
    2025/12/04
    No really McLaren, just wrap this shit up already. Honestly...

    ...Dre, Cam and RJ are back to review the penultimate race on the F1 2025 calendar at the Lusail International Circuit as Max Verstappen laid down one more victory to bring his Championship deficit to 12, and questions asked in the McLaren strategy department yet again. With the race a mandated two-stopper and 25 lap stint maximums were in effect, McLaren stayed out for "flexibility" sake and wanting to play fair, and it opened the door for Max Verstappen to punish them. Again.

    Cam blows his rag about putting the fries in the bag and wrapping this up, while Dre says that McLaren simply doesn't trust their riders. Is that the case, or is this just classic incompetence?

    There's also a hearty chat about the nasty online abuse suffered by Kimi Antonelli, Ferrari's new nadir after another hellaciously bad weekend, Carlos Sainz on the podium again for Williams and Red Bull's new driver lineup after Yuki Tsunoda says goodbye for Isack Hadjar and Arvid Lindblad heads up from F2, to Racing Bulls.

  • 630: McLaren's Lost Gamble - 2025 F1 Las Vegas Review
    2025/11/27
    Remember folks, what Verstappens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

    Dre, Cam and RJ are back to review yet another mad twist in the Championship race. Max Verstappen overcome a wet qualifying session and a spooked Norris off the line to take a dominant win in Nevada, but with the added bonus of both McLaren's being disqualified after the race for excessive skid block wear. It turns out lifting and coasting and a really low ride height has been harming McLaren for some time. Are they at their limit, and can Norris wrap up the title this weekend in Qatar?

    The trio also talk about the big breaking news story - Adrian Newey is taking over Aston Martin as their Team Principal for the first time in his 30+ year career, with current team boss Andy Cowell moving into the engine department as Chief Strategic Officer. Can a 67-year old Newey steer Aston Martin to glory? Or is this a waste of the great man's holistic talents?

    There's also more on Mercedes double podium, Ferrari's malaise, whether Vegas is starting to fall flat and the maths heading into a Qatar GP where a 25-lap limit will be put on Pirelli's tires.
