Not every sports property can be the NFL, Premier League or NBA. But not every sport is a niche passion play either. So what happens to the vast number of organisations caught in the middle? This episode explores the growing challenges facing sports media's "middle class" - established properties with meaningful audiences, passionate fans and commercial ambitions, but without the scale of the world's biggest leagues. Nick and Chris examine how streaming has changed the economics of sports broadcasting, why premium sports and niche sports often have clearer business models, and what middle-tier properties must do to remain competitive. Using examples including Dyn Media, FloSports, Formula E, the EuroLeague and rugby, the discussion explores whether strategy, aggregation and audience growth can provide a sustainable path forward in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Key Topics:Was traditional TV historically propping up sports media's middle class all along?How has streaming changed the economics and opportunities available to middle-tier sports properties? Why do niche sports often have an easier path to monetisation than larger, more established middle-tier sports?Can platforms like Dyn Media and FloSports prove that aggregation is the future for middle-tier sports?Is it possible for a sport to move from the middle tier into the top tier of the global sports ecosystem?

Race cars have always been rolling laboratories, but the experiment has changed. Thomas Chevaucher, Technical Engineering Director at the FIA, and Pierre Villez, the federation's F1 and Sport Sustainability Lead, help write the rules for Formula 1, Formula E, and the World Endurance Championship, and today those rules are as much about efficiency and emissions as they are about speed. They explain what the sustainable fuels powering today's race cars are actually made of, how technology moves between the racetrack and the cars we drive every day, and why that relationship doesn't work quite the way most people assume. The conversation covers how far Formula E has come since its awkward early days, how much energy its newest cars recover on the move, and the biggest source of racing's carbon footprint, which has nothing to do with what happens on track. And yes, they explain exactly what a virtual fuel tank is. Join Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid as they dive deep with Thomas and Pierre to find out how the world of motorsport is getting greener, and what it means for the car in your driveway, in this episode of GreenCars, The Podcast.Chapters0:00 - Introduction5:32 - What Is the FIA?8:04 - Why Sustainability Matters in Motorsport11:11 - Formula 1, Formula E & WEC Technology14:09 - Racing's Impact on Passenger Cars15:36 - Formula E's Decade of Progress21:31 - Racing's Hidden Emissions24:09 - What's in Sustainable Race Fuel?30:11 - How a Virtual Fuel Tank Works37:08 - Four for the Road43:20 - ConclusionsCheck out our Buyer's Guide at https://apps.greencars.com/buyers-guideVisit GreenCars on YouTube for EV and hybrid reviews and much more:https://www.youtube.com/@greencarshq Hosted on Acast.

Formula Fanatics #9 covers rumors that Mercedes' onboard AI mislearned George Russell's energy deployment, contributing to issues like his anti-stall start in Budapest. We discuss the 2026 calendar changes, including Barcelona potentially rotating with Spa while Madrid becomes the Spanish GP, and debate why classic venues like Germany and France aren't prioritized; Hockenheim's possible return is linked to a $250M rehab.

After criticizing Lance Stroll, we question Audi and Cadillac's long-term competitiveness, touch on wing/DRS-style activation, discuss benign silly-season notes (Alonso extension talk, multiple driver engagements/marriage, contract renewals), a Formula E viewing, and look ahead to Zandvoort and race-cancellation minimums. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Mercedes AI troubles? 02:35 F1 Calendar Shakeups ...

Send us Fan Mailفي حلقة زاندفورت، الموضوع ما كانش فريق ضد فريق قد ما كان زميل ضد زميل. السباق نفسه كان مليان لحظات توتر، لكن اللي شدّنا فعلًا هو صراع teammates لما كل واحد فيهم يبقى عايز يثبت نفسه على حساب التاني. وده بيخلي أي قرار من الفريق، أو أي حركة على التراك، تبان أكبر بكتير من مجرد سباق عادي. الحلقة بتدور حوالين الدراما دي: مين يستحق الأولوية، ومين كان أسرع، ومين الفريق بيعرف يديره صح وقت الضغط.In this episode, we're diving into the drama that happens when teammates become rivals on track — and why those battles can get messy fast.

This month, Eric Black and Dan Rayburn discuss the big news that all of Peacock's content will be available on YouTube Premium in the U.S. They discuss what it means for NBCU, which has now become a content licensing company and DTC service, which are very different business models. They debate that over time, Peacock may no longer be a destination for consumers when the content can be viewed on other platforms. They also discuss the announced price increases for Peacock, ranging from $1-$3 per month, on the heels of Comcast announcing during its Q2 earnings that Peacock turned its first-ever quarterly profit since the service launched six years ago. They also discuss the news that YES Network and MSG Networks will be shutting down its Gotham Sports app, announcing a deal with DAZN that will make DAZN the exclusive home for their content. They cover the latest in the messy RSN market, dicuss consumer fragmentation and report that DAZN has secured games from the Timberwolves and Pacers, while Victory+ has lost teams from its service after failing to pay them money owed for the content.They cover how Disney+ is starting to become a sports service, having signed a multi-year partnership with Formula E, along with the sports content they already have with the World Cup, LALIGA, NBA and UEFA in other countries. The discussion also includes Disney's CEO saying they are "looking forward to launching" a free version of their service and what it might look like.Finally, they detail the latest news from FOX, NFL, Prime Video, Telemundo, ESPN and Versant.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

The entry-level electric SUV offers front-wheel drive with 201 horsepower, all-wheel drive with 261 horsepower, or a GT variant at 288 horsepower, with AWD costing an extra $3,200 on most trims.BRITAIN'S USED EV SALES RISE 67% TO 110,761 IN SECOND QUARTERBritain's used EV market surged 67% to 110,761 sales in the second quarter of 2026, capturing a record 5.5% share of the used car market and claiming one in every 18 second-hand purchases. Electric cars nearly doubled their market penetration from 3.3% a year earlier as traditional petrol and diesel vehicles continued to dominate with 86.7% of transactions.USED EV VALUES RISE 1.6% IN JULY, FOURTH STRAIGHT MONTHLY GAINThree-year-old battery electric vehicles in the UK gained 1.6% in value during July, marking their fourth consecutive month of growth since March and a cumulative 7% increase of roughly £1,500 per car. Fleet EVs like the Peugeot 208 Electric, Mercedes EQB, VW ID.4, and Tesla Model Y now sell within 14 days, positioning them as the fastest-selling used cars in the market.AUSTRALIAN EV SALES DOUBLE AS PETROL HITS $2.53 A LITREElectric vehicle sales in Australia more than doubled in the second quarter of 2026 as unleaded petrol reached a record $2.53 per litre, making up one in five new cars sold. Market share for fully electric vehicles climbed from 12.25% to over 21% in the first half of 2026, driven primarily by fuel prices rather than policy.EVGO OPENS 350KW FLAGSHIP CHARGING SITE IN DETROIT WITH MEIJER AND GMEVgo opened a 350kW flagship charging station in Detroit with 12 CCS and NACS stalls beneath a canopy, capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes and accommodating vehicles towing trailers through pull-through access. The site represents EVgo's vision for charging infrastructure, with the company expecting more than 100 flagship locations online by the end of 2026 after building nearly 2,400 stalls nationwide with GM's backing.GERMAN INSURER REPORTS 12% OF PRIVATE CAR SWITCHES GO ELECTRICGerman insurer HUK Coburg reported that 12% of private vehicle changes switched to battery-electric cars in the second quarter of 2026, more than double the pre-war rate of 6.3%, with 24% of licence holders citing fuel prices since the Iran conflict as motivation. Germany registered 368,000 new BEVs in the first half of 2026 (48% more than 2025) for a 24.8% market share, while Tesla's share among switchers jumped from 5.6% to 12.2% and German brands lost ground except in the used market.SAMSUNG SDI BUYS GM'S 49.99% STAKE IN INDIANA BATTERY VENTURESamsung SDI has acquired General Motors' 49.99% stake in SynergyCells, the Indiana battery venture formed in 2024, citing slower-than-expected EV demand and pivoting the plant to produce cells and modules for energy storage systems rather than GM vehicles. The $3.5 billion venture will still open in 2026, though Samsung SDI and GM have signed a separate agreement to develop next-generation prismatic cells together for possible future EVs.TOKYO RAISES EV SUBSIDY TO 1.3 MILLION YEN PER VEHICLETokyo's metropolitan government raised its electric vehicle subsidy to 1.3 million yen per vehicle with no purchase limit, stackable with national incentives and bonuses for vehicle-to-load capability, charging equipment installation, renewable energy, and solar power usage. The scheme grades manufacturers by subsidy level—Toyota, Nissan, and Honda receive 400,000 yen while BYD receives only 100,000 yen in Tokyo—allowing buyers to potentially pay as little as 2.2 million yen for a 4.8 million yen Toyota bZ4X after stacking both subsidy tiers.FORMULA E SPLITS INTO TWO RACE FORMATS FROM 2026/27From the 2026/27 season, Formula E will run two distinct race formats: the E-Prix Unleashed as a 30-minute sprint with high downforce and no mandatory pit stop, and the conventional E-Prix as a 45-minute race with low-downforce aerodynamics and compulsory pit stops. The split reflects the capabilities of the new GEN4 car, which features permanent all-wheel drive, up to 600kW output, and 0-62 mph acceleration in roughly 1.8 seconds.V ENGINEERING BUILDS 12.4KWH REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MCLAREN P1V Engineering, a McLaren specialist based in Berkshire, has developed Project Continuum, a replacement high-voltage hybrid battery for the P1 that stores 12.4kWh compared to the original 4.72kWh while weighing 23kg less and requiring no rewiring. Customer installations will begin in spring 2027 for cars across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, addressing the 2010-era battery's deterioration after approaching 16 years in service.

On this episode, Nick sits down with Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports for Roku Media, to unpack how a platform reaching 100 million households is working to make sports content frictionless to find, aggregate, and monetize in an increasingly fragmented rights landscape.How Roku's "Sports Zone" aggregates live games, clips, highlights and stats across leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NWSL and WNBA — and how that model scaled to seven territories for the World CupThe difference between Roku as a platform (distribution partner integrations) versus the Roku Channel as a first-party service (FAST channels, originals, live rights deals with MLB, Formula E, X Games and the Savannah Bananas)Why rights fragmentation isn't reversing — and how personalization, metadata and interactivity are becoming the tools to reaggregate the viewing experience without a cable-style bundleHow Roku funds its sports push through advertising and sponsorship rather than subscription or affiliate fees, and what "shared upside" partnerships look like in practiceA first take on what the pending Fox acquisition could mean for Roku's sports ambitions, and why it's "business as usual" until the deal closesLike and subcribe to receive weekly episodes from StreamTime Sports.

Dan Ticktum's Didier Pironi impression in the first race of the Tokyo E-Prix brought out strong opinions for Sascha and Georgie Mackay, as did the severe fall-off of the three people who were assumed to be fighting for the title based on early-season, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and Edoardo Mortara. The pod looks at the best possible smash-and-grab, and how Formula E found the dullest location in Tokyo. Georgie's iRacing run-out in a car that had a Jesus/Nicholas Cage livery was also pored over. Cyril Blais is remembered following his tragic passing.Join Motion Racing on Discord! https://discord.gg/sp8ey8bU4TFollow on Bluesky: https://motionracing.bsky.socialNewsletter: https://motionracing.substack.comWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@motionracingpodcast

Meet Marnie Cohen, Senior Account Manager - Communications at TGI Sport, one of Australia's leading sports PR and communications agencies.Before landing her first official paid role in sport, Marnie spent seven and a half years building a career in fashion and lifestyle, working at boutique agencies, all while quietly laying the groundwork for the career she'd always dreamed of. Along the way, she earned a nomination for the Quill Award for the Student Journalist of the Year, won the Robert McDonald Journalism and International Relations Prize at Deakin University, and completed a cadetship at The Daily Telegraph in Sydney.When she eventually quit her PR job without a plan, rather than rushing back into full-time work, Marnie made a deliberate decision to step back. She took a part-time receptionist role and used every spare moment to build Kanga TV, a North Melbourne fan YouTube channel that she grew from a standing start into the very thing that helped her land her role at TGI Sport.For anyone wondering if your background outside sport translates and if the switch to sport is even possible, Marnie's story is proof that your transferable skills matter more than you think.

Polo GTI, the first-ever electric vehicle to carry the iconic GTI badge — a near-50-year-first — sitting above the standard ID. Polo with a 223hp front-mounted motor, 0–62mph in 6.8 seconds, and a 263-mile WLTP range from its 52 kWh battery. It goes on sale in Germany from autumn 2026, priced from €39,000, competing with the Alpine A290 and Peugeot E-208 GTi, but will not be sold in North America.BMW AND SOLARWATT PUSH V2H PLANSBMW and SOLARWATT are expanding their partnership to bring Vehicle-to-Home bidirectional charging to BMW's Neue Klasse line-up, starting with the iX3 and i3, following Germany's first commercial Vehicle-to-Grid launch in March 2026. The integrated system will use SOLARWATT's energy management platform, the BMW Wallbox Professional, and both brands' apps to coordinate solar, home storage, dynamic tariffs, and EV charging — launching first across Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.GM CUTS BOLT COSTS WITH BATCH BUILDSGM is achieving its sub-$30,000 target for the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV in part by assembling cars in batches of 30 identical units at its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, rather than building mixed trims in sequence, reducing errors and line stoppages. The approach, part of GM's "Winning with Simplicity" strategy, also includes keeping clone spare bodies on standby, cutting floor space needs, reducing paint booth colour changes, and locking suppliers to a fixed seven-day delivery schedule.UK INSURERS SHUN MANY CHINESE CARSCarwow research found that half of all insurance quote requests for Chinese vehicles were declined outright by UK insurers, with AXA refusing to quote on all four tested models and Hastings Direct covering only one. Beyond availability, Chinese models averaged £901 per year to insure versus £646 for petrol equivalents — a £255 gap — with insurers citing limited repair data, underdeveloped parts supply chains, and a lack of long-term claims history as key reasons.BMW TIES IONNA DISCOUNT TO US CHARGINGBMW has launched a preferred pricing programme with IONNA, giving BMW and MINI EV drivers a 20% discount on public charging sessions across the network's 1,000-plus US bays, running through 30 September 2026. The discount applies automatically via Plug & Charge or the My BMW App, with no subscription or RFID card required, as part of BMW's broader strategy to build out home, workplace, and public charging infrastructure.EPA DELAYS TIER 4 BY TWO YEARSThe EPA has proposed pushing Biden-era Tier 4 light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions standards back two years, from model year 2027 to 2029, framing the move as a "freedom of choice" measure that the agency says will save automakers and consumers over $1.7 billion. The rollback goes much further than a delay, however — the EPA has also repealed the 2009 Endangerment Finding and all vehicle greenhouse gas regulations, dismantling the legal framework for future federal EV mandates.KIA DEBUTS PV5 SIDE-ENTRY WAV IN EUROPEKia unveiled the PV5 WAV Side Entry at the Motability Scheme Live exhibition in Birmingham on 15 May 2026, claiming a segment first with its side-entry wheelchair access that allows kerb-side boarding — an advantage in dense urban areas where rear access is often blocked. Built for taxi operators, shuttle services, and fleet providers, the van features a reinforced floor, integrated wheelchair anchorage, floor lighting for boarding visibility, and a two-step manual ramp suited to varied road conditions.COULTHARD DRIVES FORMULA E GEN4 AT MONACODavid Coulthard drove Formula E's upcoming GEN4 car on the streets of Monte Carlo, describing the experience as unlike anything in his career — a significant claim from a two-time Monaco Grand Prix winner. The GEN4, set to debut in the 2026/27 season, tops 205mph, weighs under 1,000kg, produces over 800bhp, hits 0–100kph in 1.8 seconds, and delivers a 71% power increase over GEN3 Evo in Attack Mode, with all-wheel drive and a redesigned ergonomic cockpit; it will make its first public show appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed from 9–12 July.RECYCLING LIFTS OLD BATTERIES INTO BETTER CATHODESResearchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a recycling process that upcycles spent lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese oxide cells into higher-performance lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode material, recovering more than 95% of key elements — rivalling or exceeding most commercial operations. Crucially, the process runs at normal temperature and pressure, requires no energy-intensive equipment, fits existing recycling infrastructure, and produces cathode material with higher energy density than the source materials it came from.

  What keeps a Mars rover running after 14 years on another planet? What fixed a juddering solar array on the International Space Station? And what tiny robot — small enough to hold in your hand — recently hitched a ride to the lunar South Pole? The answer to all three: Castrol. And this week, Beth sits down with Chris Lockett, Global Technology Director at Castrol, to pull back the curtain on one of space exploration's most quietly essential partners. Chris brings nearly 30 years of experience with BP and Castrol, working across the UK, China, Japan, South Africa, and beyond. His work spans Formula One racecars to Mars rovers — and now, the Moon. In this episode, he shares how Castrol's lubrication technology has been part of humanity's greatest space achievements since Apollo, and what it's taking to help us return to the lunar surface. From "outgassing" and extreme vacuum conditions to an actual in-space oil change performed by an astronaut on a spacewalk, this conversation is packed with jaw-dropping moments. Chris also gives us a live show-and-tell — showcasing a replica Perseverance Rover and a real, working AstroAnt — the tiny MIT-designed robot that rode along on the recent mission to the lunar South Pole inside its own little garage on top of the rover. Who thought lubrication engineering could be this fascinating?!  This episode will change your mind. In this episode, you'll learn: How Castrol's space heritage dates back to Apollo — and has continued through the Space Shuttle, the ISS, Hubble, Mars rovers, and Artemis 2 What "outgassing" is, why it's a serious problem in the vacuum of space, and how it can blur a telescope lens How an astronaut performed an in-space oil change on the ISS's solar array — using Castrol grease — to fix a dangerous juddering problem Why the lunar South Pole is so important as a future staging post for deeper space exploration (ice, hydrogen, lava tubes — yes, really!) What co-engineering means and how Castrol works in partnership with companies like Lunar Outpost to design solutions for environments no one has ever accessed before What the AstroAnt is, how it works, and why swarms of them could be the future of spacecraft maintenance What Chris looks for in the next generation of space innovators — hint: it starts with curiosity Watch the Documentary: Don't miss Drive Me to the Moon — the full documentary featuring Chris, Castrol, and Lunar Outpost's mission to the lunar South Pole. It's a beautiful, emotional, and inspiring behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to explore the Moon. Watch it at: castrol.com — search Drive Me to the Moon About Chris Lockett: Chris Lockett is the Global Technology Director at Castrol, part of the BP Group. With a background in chemical engineering from his university studies in the UK, Chris joined BP as a graduate and has spent nearly three decades working across engineering, strategy, and technology roles. He now leads Castrol's global team of hundreds of technologists who develop lubrication solutions for everything from Formula One to Formula E, electric vehicles, industrial applications, data centers — and space.
