The Hendrick pair of Chase Elliot and Carl Larson were the two leaders, with Larson diving up the inside in the final 3 laps of the race, pushing Elliot wide and forcing him back to 5th place.

Welcome to Episode 32 of the Lovecars On The Grid Podcast! Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman are back with their global motorsport roundup after a very exciting week! Kicking off with the Formula 1, which was this time taking place at Austin in Texas, the race was a fantastic one! The Lewis and Max Championship battle continued, with cars bouncing over the curbs both from Mercedes and Red Bull. In the midfield, there were also tense battles with McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo against Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. Track limits were a bit questionable, especially in qualifying!

Welcome to Episode 23 of the Lovecars On the Grid Podcast where Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman kick off this podcast with what is possibly the most well-known race in the World! It is of course Le Mans, which was incredibly exciting! We all wanted number 7 to win, with British drive Mike Conway behind the wheel of the Toyota, alongside ex Formula 1 driver Kamui Kobayashi and Argentinian driver José María López. What did you think of the look of the Toyota? The LMP2 battle went right down to the last lap, with just 2.8 seconds between Team WRT and Team Jota for 1st place and nearly running over the chequered flag bearer! We were excited for the Glickenhaus cars out there for the first time with the 007 LMH, finishing in 4th and 5th place. It was a decorated race for British drivers too, with LMP2 3rd place for Will Stevens and 4th place for the all British LMP2 team, consisting of Paul Di Resta, Alex Lynn and Wayne Boyd. In the GTE Pro category, British driver, James Calado achieved first place in the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo with his fellow drivers, Alessandro Pier Guidi and Côme Ledogar. We had friends that came out of the race too sadly, with retirements from Ryan Cullen and Oli Webb, both have featured on our channel. The winning car had no less than 33 pit stops, covered a staggering 5,000KM over 1,440 minutes (24 hours)! Fingers crossed Paul and Tiff can attend next year! Who wants to join us? The DTM was at the Nurburgring this weekend and finally we have a win from ex Formula 1 driver, Alex Albon!

NASCAR was in Michigan, at the FireKeepers Casino 400 race and a brilliantly quick last few laps! Kyle Larson and William Byron were challenging for the lead, but Ryan Blaney managed to take it in the Ford #12. The next race is the last round of the 'play-offs', with the top 16 drivers going through. Coming up, we have the Formula 1 in Spa to look forward to, supported by Formula 3 and W Series, where anything could happen! The Lewis Hamilton vs. Max Verstappen battle will continue!

Richard West inducts Roger Clark into the Motorsport Hall of Fame and Tom shares his race preparations for Cadwell Park

Welcome to Episode 22 of the Lovecars On the Grid Podcast where we have had a weekend of really good battles! Starting off with the World Rally Championship, that took place in Belgium this weekend. Paul Woodman and Tiff Needell discuss the win by Hyundai and Belgian duo Thierry Neuville with his co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe in the i20. The pair fought off their team mate, Craig Breen, who finished second with his co-driver, Paul Nagle. Toyota then came in with 3rd and 4th place. Moto GP was an amazing weekend, but started off with a bit of controversy! The Austrian GP started with a suspension for Yamaha rider, Maverick Vinales following him appearing to be fiddling with his bike in an effort to sabotage his race last weekend at the Styrian GP. We've never heard of a rider sabotaging his own bike! The race itself this weekend was spectacular, with a crash from Spanish rider Marc Márquez due to the poor weather in Belgium. South African rider, Brad Binder didn't switch for the wet weather bike and managed to hold on for the Win, despite on slick tyres and hardly any brakes! A home win for the KTM team. In the supporting races, Spanish rider Raul Fernandez took the win in Moto 2, whilst British rider, Sam Lowes started in pole but finished in 4th place. In Moto 3, Championship leader Pedro Acosta won another GP after a battle with Romano Fenati and Sergio García with lots of lead changes. Tiff will be there in a few weeks time for the British Moto GP at Valentino Rossi's last ever Moto GP event! In Formula E, the final race of the championship took place in Berlin this weekend, with wins from French driver Norman Nato for Venturi Racing, but the Championship was taken by ex-Formula 1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne, with the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team. An exciting race with several crashes and even cars that didn't start! Next race is in January 2022! Over in Scotland, at Knockhill there was great racing with BTCC. Paul thought it was hard in a Caterham, these BTCC cars were incredible! We saw an incredible battle between Colin Turkington and Honda driver, Senna Proctor. Turkington went on to also place 2nd in race two, whilst Proctor took 2nd in race 3. Tiff and Paul are big fans of Ash Sutton! The Superbikes were at Donington, with wins for Yamaha's Jason O'Halloran and Tarran Mackenzie, along with Ducati's Tommy Bridewell. In America, we had a tight qualifying in Indycar at Indianapolis, with an eventual win for Will Power after starting second, followed closely by former Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean. The race was shared with NASCAR at the track this weekend, with great entertainment in the Sunday race, ending with a few crashes in the chicane, with a battle ending with A. J. Allmendinger winning the race. Coming up next week, we've got more Indycar and NASCAR. British Superbikes are going to Cadwell Park, but of course, it's LE MANS, with more British drivers there than any other nationality!

He was fighting for the 2020 championship up until the final round in the debut season for the radical new Fireblade, Northern Ireland's Glenn Irwin was still proud to walk away knowing he could push the pre-season favourites of Brookes and Iddon all the way. Now, as he enters his second Bennetts British Superbike season with Honda Racing, 30-year old Irwin has a new team mate, he's training hard and there's a large carrot dangling in front of himWe interrupt Glenn's winter training schedule that includes a bout on Football Manager (he's a massive Man Utd. fan) to chat about:·      Reflecting on 2020·      Training with his brother·      Testing at Portimao·      His new team mate, Ryo Mizuno·      Ambitions for World Superbike, Suzuka 8 hours and road racing·      Overcoming the bike's struggles at Oulton and Brands last year·      Fireblade upgrades·      Missing how the fans make him nervous·      His thoughts on the new qualifying, showdown and triple header format·      And, the one track he thinks should be included in the Bennetts British Superbike calendar. Out of any in the world.

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter E96, the world’s most favouritist biking podcast, supported as ever by bikesocial.co.uk and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists. Rambling gossip this month includes: MotoGP from Catalunya and why Lorenzo wasn’t the bad guy conquering the Rudland Rigg on a Triumph Scrambler 1200 new bike news featuring... 1) Ducati’s Streetfighter V4, with added wings 2) KTM’s 790 Adventure R Rally with added springs 3) Triumph Rocket III TFC with added torques ...which is an awful lot of extreme/exclusivity/exotica all in one go, but should anyone really care, do they actually make any money for the manufacturers or are they just exercises in PR and brand awareness? are bikers getting more gammony? does size matter (we’re talking engines here)? why don’t more bikes have an overdrive top gear, and is it more fuel efficient to use big throttle in top gear of part throttle in lower gears? are Triumphs more unreliable than other manufacturers, and why doesn’t the press talk about it? you want a desirable, fun, impractical road bike – should you buy a Ducati 1098S or an MV Agusta F3 800... or something else altogether? BMW R18 concept bike – thumbs up or thumbs up bums? why focussing on less-tall bikers is size-ist; a lot of tall riders have problems too... more on the merits or otherwise of air-bag vests – do they work, and does risk compensation actually make you more likely to have an accident when wearing one?

And this week we have: Why being a MotoGP legend is bad for your health (especially if you’re a Brit) who’s actually likely to win the MotoGP title the next time Marquez doesn’t? what happened at the unfeasibly warm Bennetts British Superbike season opener at Silverstone why we won’t be watching the 2020 Dakar Rally from Saudi Arabia ideas to replace a Honda Blackbird with a £4500 sporty all-rounder why fixed spring rates are a great unspoken compromise of biking is the cost of insurance is putting off new riders? should you wait and get a used Svartpilen 701 or Iannone your KTM 990 SM? if you could spend two weeks touring in the UK, where would you go? ...and lots lots more. It’s a vintage FEC-sack. Thank you to you, to BikeSocial.co.uk, to Bennetts, and see you at Cadwell Park on August 13th.
