Este fin de semana promete ser un festín para los entusiastas del automovilismo, con dos eventos de primer nivel que captarán la atención mundial: el Gran Premio de Canadá de Fórmula 1 y la legendaria carrera de resistencia, las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Tras la reciente e intensa acción del Rally de Italia-Cerdeña, con el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparamos para una de las mejores carreras de la temporada en la Indycar: Bommarito. Análisis del Rally de Cerdeña. En el Rally de Cerdeña, Sébastien Ogier volvió a demostrar su maestría al conseguir una nueva victoria, la segunda consecutiva este año y la quinta en su palmarés en esta exigente prueba. El rally fue "tremendamente duro”, como suele ser habitual, pero también espectacular, como es usual, y se caracterizó por sus habituales cambios de guion, lo que añade un elemento impredecible y emocionante a la competición. Los resultados de la prueba, del super-domingo y de la Power Stage nos dejan claro que el campeonato este año, lejos de lo que pueda parecer, está muy reñido. Rovanperä sigue a la caza y captura del líder del Campeonato, su compañero Evans. Ogier está en un excelente momento de forma y los Hyundai, sobre todo Tänak, no se quedan atrás en competitividad - aunque este fin de semana brilló también, con luz propia, Fourmaux, a pesar de que los resultados lo oculten. Situación poco habitual en la Indycar. En la NTT IndyCar Series, la temporada 2025 ha sorprendido a muchos en el paddock debido a un dominio inusual y concentrado. Alex Palou de Chip Ganassi Racing y Kyle Kirkwood de Andretti Global han combinado sus esfuerzos para ganar cada una de las siete primeras carreras de la temporada. Desde que A.J. Foyt ganó las siete primeras carreras de la temporada de 1964 (hace 61 años), solo una temporada ha presentado una racha similar con tan pocos pilotos dominantes. En 2006, Sebastien Bourdais ganó las primeras cuatro carreras de la temporada de la Champ Car World Series, y AJ Allmendinger se llevó las tres siguientes. En términos de dominio de dos hombres, esta es la única comparación en el último medio siglo con lo que estamos presenciando este año. Afortunadamente, la era moderna de este deporte se ha caracterizado por una paridad excepcional. Desde 2008, solo en la temporada de 2009 no hubo al menos cuatro pilotos ganadores en las siete primeras carreras. Es más, en tres ocasiones, incluyendo la más reciente en 2021, la IndyCar tuvo siete ganadores diferentes en esas siete primeras carreras, con nombres como Palou, Colton Herta, Scott Dixon, Pato O'Ward, Rinus VeeKay, Helio Castroneves y Marcus Ericsson subiendo a lo más alto del podio. La paridad de esta temporada se manifiesta en la diversidad de pilotos que han terminado en la segunda posición, con seis pilotos diferentes ocupando ese puesto. Palou es uno de ellos, lo que en parte explica por qué tiene una ventaja de 90 puntos sobre O'Ward de Arrow McLaren, y de 102 sobre Kirkwood. Han pasado dos décadas desde que un piloto tenía una ventaja tan considerable en este punto de la temporada, y eso, unido a la paridad de resultados en la segunda posición, nos da idea de la excelencia de este piloto. La carrera de este fin de semana es la Bommarito Automotive Group 500, circuito situado a pocos kilómetros al este de St. Louis, en la ciudad de Madison (Illinois). Se disputará bajo los focos y estaremos esperando ver qué nos ofrece, después el desastre de Detroit, Alex Palou.

IndyCar may have had the week off, but Speed Street is still reporting for duty covering all the latest news in the open wheel scene. Conor Daly and Chase Holden reflect on the television ratings for the Detroit race and the public response to Conor's critiques of the course layout. They also react to the news that Formula One will be directly competing with the 2026 running of the Indianapolis 500 by moving the Canadian Grand Prix to the same day. Conor expresses that the move from the FIA appears to be a blatant show of disrespect for the history of the 500, and feels motorsports fans are being cheated out of a celebrated tradition of the Greatest Day in Motorsports.Chip Ganassi Racing pilot Kyffin Simpson joins the show to discuss his recent first career top-five finish in Detroit and what his time has been like with the CGR team. Kyffin breaks down the pit strategy that helped bring him to the front of the pack and what he had to do to remain in the top five for the duration of the race. He also speaks on the steep learning curve and sheer amount of information he has been absorbing at CGR from having experienced teammates like Scott Dixon and Alex Palou. The guys chat about what areas Kyffin would like to improve in and what his goals are for the rest of the season. Kyffin also gives listeners some insight to who he is outside of the car, as he chats about island life and his love for water sports.

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is officially in the books, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly showed moments of brilliance before bringing home a hard fought 8th place finish. He joins co-host Chase Holden to recap his race and how a vibration caused by a loss of wheel weights caused him to fade late in the running. Conor explains that his car became wrecking loose, but an early pit stop would cause him to fall out of the top-10, so he was forced to hold on for dear life and save more fuel than expected. The guys chat about the attrition during the race, the rain delays and how several contenders' days were impacted. At the end of the day, the driver of the year so far Alex Palou was able to use lapped cars to stay ahead of Marcus Ericsson, bringing home his first career oval victory on the biggest stage in auto racing.The now regarded as “third host of Speed Street” Alex Palou stops by the show during his 500-winner media tour to unpack the biggest win in his storied career. He recalls that as the race hit the halfway mark and the various strategies began to take place, he realized he was going to have a shot at winning. Alex and Conor experienced opposite balance issues due to cold temperatures and rainy conditions, and Alex explains that he was dealing with a major push that the team chased with adjustments throughout the entire event. At the end of the day, Alex implemented a strategy that he learned while chasing Helio Castroneves to the finish during the 2021 running of the race, only this time he came out on top.

The Month of May is well under way, and Conor Daly brought home a hard fought 15th place finish at the Indy Grand Prix to kick things off. He joins co-host Chase Holden to fill listeners in on how a lap one dust-up with Callum Ilott caused him to have to fight from behind and how tire strategy ultimately allowed him to make a late race recovery. They also discuss Alex Palou's continued dominance and Rahal Letterman Lanigan's surprise qualifying efforts. Conor shines a light on the attrition and inconsistency the rest of the paddock (besides Palou) is seeming to deal with thus far this season and how everyone is operating on razor thin margins of error that can make or break race efforts.Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves joins the show to highlight his quest to capture an unprecedented fifth Borg-Warner trophy. Conor inquires about Helio's journey from full-time racer to part owner of Meyer Shank Racing, and how the team is adjusting to their technical alliance switch from Andretti Global to Chip Ganassi Racing.

Conor Daly and the Juncos Hollinger team brought home a 19th place finish in yet another event that ran green in its entirety. He joins co-host Chase Holden on this edition of Speed Street to chat about the team's struggles with the primary tires this year and how the lack of attrition is forcing the entire paddock to adjust to gain on-track positions during the last three races. They also discuss Alex Palou's dominant victory, a huge boost in IndyCar's television ratings and preview the upcoming Indianapolis Grand Prix.Barber race winner Alex Palou joins the show to reflect on his incredible start to the 2025 season and how Chip Ganassi Racing continues to strive for new levels of excellence despite one of the greatest track records in IndyCar history. Alex explains that he is happy where he is at in the 10 car and hopes to carry his road course dominance into Indianapolis this month. Later on in the episode, Barber hard charger Rinus VeeKay also stops by to break down his 4th place finish, which was a major accomplishment for Dale Coyne Racing.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is joined in the studio by former NASCAR racer and Driver Performance Manager for Chevrolet Racing Josh Wise. The two discuss Josh's post driving career, and his influential role in coaching NASCAR's top athletes.After moving into the stock car ranks as a champion dirt sprint car racer, Josh spent ten years moving through the NASCAR ranks before finding his calling to become a driver development coach and manager. Josh admits that though he was the first driver in Toyota's development program, he was ill-prepared for the world of fendered racing and feels he failed during his time behind the wheel in NASCAR. In 2016, he came to the realization that he was ready to end his pursuit of being a race car driver and wanted to move into a position to help other drivers unlock their full potential. Josh explains that after setting his sights on this goal, he struck up a conversation with Max Jones at Chip Ganassi Racing and pitched the concept to him. Max suggested he work with a young and upcoming racer in their ranks who needed help with focus, who just happened to be Kyle Larson. Wise Optimization hit the ground running with Larson, Jamie McMurray, Tyler Reddick and Brennan Poole and quickly grew from a single-man operation focusing on workout regimens to an all-encompassing driver overhaul program. Josh attended night school to earn a degree in psychology so he could help drivers with their lives away from the track, which he found to be a major key in growth potential. Today, the operation is a facet of Team Chevy and helps some of the most successful drivers in stock car racing hone their craft.21+ and present in North Carolina. Opt in req.

The 1994 Indycar season was one of the most significant seasons in US open-wheel racing's recent history, and much of that is down to the arrival of Reynard. The British company's success in single-seater racing was translated dramatically into Indycar, as Michael Andretti won its first race at Surfers Paradise, sending shockwaves through the motorsport landscape. The result not only broke the previous duopoly enjoyed by Lola and Penske - the latter subsequently becoming a Reynard customer - but also established Chip Ganassi Racing as a winning force for the first time, while Jacques Villeneuve also emerged as a star of the future later in the season with a Reynard, taking his first win for the Forsythe/Green team. Thirty years on, that breakout story is retold by company founder Adrian Reynard in a special edition of the Autosport Podcast to coincide with the latest issue of Autosport magazine's Engineering supplement. Joined by Autosport Plus editor James Newbold and Autosport magazine deputy editor Marcus Simmons, Reynard discusses how his driving ambitions were crucial in his journey to becoming a successful constructor, the mantras that made Reynard Cars a hit, and how a disastrous attempt to enter Formula 1 proved the catalyst for his entry to Indycar.
