Tom Blomqvist has been one of the quickest drivers in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competing in the top level GTP category. We caught up with him just prior to the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he filled us in on his transition from IMSA GTP to the NTT IndyCar Series with Meyer Shank Racing (MSR). It's a fascinating conversation as he candidly talks about the challenges of switching categories and the key differences between the two types of race cars. It's a real insiders look at the technical side of racing in layman's terms. Enjoy! NOTE: At Long Beach, he qualified 15th while his teammate was on pole. Blomqvist finished in 22nd while Rosenqvist finished 9th. Unfortunately for Tom, the opening lap of the Indy 500 saw him spin and crash with other cars involved. After that, he was replaced as a driver on the team. However, the team owners still believed in his immense talent and retained him for the year. Starting this weekend at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, he'll be back behind the wheel of an MSR GTP car looking to score another Rolex 24 win.

On this week's Double Stint Podcast, Jonathan Grace is joined by John Dagys and Davey Euwema to break down the Roar Before the Rolex 24, catch up on the latest headlines in sports car racing before previewing this weekend's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener.

Roman De Angelis is one of the top drivers in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competing in the GTD and GTD Pro categories. We caught up with him just prior to the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where his teammate started from pole position the previous year. It was a good year for the “Heart of Racing” team as De Angelis and Marco Sorenson won three races. In this interview, he talks about what happened at Long Beach the previous year, some of the iconic races he won, how he got started in racing, and his expectations for Long Beach and beyond. He also does a nice job of breaking down the difference between GTD and GTD Pro and the whole driver ranking system. Enjoy! NOTE: At Long Beach, he qualified fourth and got into third during the race. Unfortunately, another competitor hit his teammate in the second half of the race which led to a DNF (Did Not Finish). Coming up is the IMSA Roar Before the 24 test, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona on January 17-19 and January 22-26, 2025.

Parker Thompson and Ben Barnicoat race a Lexus RC F GT3/GTD car for Vasser/Sullivan in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. We caught up with Thompson twice during the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. We first talked to him immediately after his pole position press conference and then with him and his teammate right after their post-race victory press conference. The two were certainly happy and proud of their accomplishments winning on the biggest stage of the sprint races during the year. It's interesting to hear about how they describe the team dynamic and the key to victory. Enjoy! NOTE: The IMSA Roar Before the 24 test, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona are coming up on January 17-19 and January 22-26, 2025.

Andy Lee is a professional race car driver and coach and competes in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as well as the SRO Americas GT Championship with his teammate Elias Sabo. During the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, Andy took the time to give us a walkaround on the IMSA GT3/GTD Aston Martin Vantage race car and then gave us another walkaround on the SRO GT4 AM Vantage. During the walkarounds he talks about the differences and key features of each race car. The photos below are put in order so you can follow along and see some of the key features of each race car. Enjoy! NOTE: Please see previous podcast for overall photos of the two different cars on track. The IMSA Roar Before the 24 test, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona are coming up on January 17-19 and January 22-26, 2025. 

Elias Sabo and Andy Lee are teammates in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in an Aston Martin GTD (GT3) car. Sabo also drives an Aston Martin GT4 car in the SRO Americas championship. At the press day luncheon for the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach we caught up with them to ask about their gorgeous race car and how they became teammates among other things. Sabo was pulling triple duty during race weekend with a single race in the GTD car (sharing with Lee) and two races in the GT4 car. Enjoy! NOTE: Next week, we'll have Andy give us a walkaround on each of the two different Aston Martin race cars. The Roar Before the 24 test, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona are coming up on January 17-19 and January 22-26, 2025. Also of note, after a challenging start to the season, the team switched manufacturers in August to the BMW M4 GT3/GTD platform looking for  their results to improve for 2025.

On the first of Sportscar365's special year-in-review episodes, Jonathan Grace and John Dagys look back at the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, as well as nominate standout drivers and races from the campaign.

This week, Max Verstappen claims his 4th consecutive Formula 1 championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Cadillac finally get approved to join the F1 grid & we discuss Robert Wickens' graduation to the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship!

Pipo Derani has made a name for himself in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship by being a tremendously fast racer and especially so in qualifying. In fact, he earned pole position for the first three races of the year (Daytona, Sebring, and Long Beach). He's a four-time winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring and he's also won the 24 Hours of Daytona. We caught up with Derani at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach right after his post-race qualifying pole position press conference and conducted this interview leaving the media room and walking with him on the way back to his transporter. There's a slight interruption in the interview as a fan stops him to take a selfie as we navigated our way through the crowd. It's a short interview but he fills us in on his mindset in qualifying and racing and how things change between sprint and endurance racing. Enjoy! NOTE: It was announced during the 2024 season that Derani would not be back with his Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R GTP team for 2025. Where will he end up? Stay tuned. . .

Felipe Albuquerque is a multi-time championship winning driver and races the Acura ARX-06 GTP car in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti (with teammate Ricky Taylor). We caught up with Albuquerque at the media luncheon just prior to the race at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. In this podcast interview, he gives us a fascinating insight into simulator prep work and specifically for this event. He goes into some detail between the Honda Driver in the Loop (DIL) sim versus iRacing. This is also a good interview for kids to listen to as he talks about how valuable his education was and how it has impacted his racing career. Enjoy! NOTE: Albuquerque and Taylor would go on to win the Detroit Grand Prix this season and score a podium (third) at Mid-Ohio in August. Going into the final race of the season, the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on October 9-12, 2024, he currently sits sixth in the championship standings.

At Stripping the Dipping, we pride ourselves on sharing a broad range of perspectives from across the motorsport community. Celso Neto currently sits 2nd in the TCX America touring car series, after a recent double victory at Road America. In this episode, we find out about his path into motorsport in Brazil and the US - including racing cars on the day his driving license arrived - and his aspirations for the future. Celso's dream is to be a full time professional racing driver and at time of writing, he is a finalist for the IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship. If successful, that would see him race in either IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge or IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge next season. Celso just turned 20 and tells us what it was like to instruct his first cohort of students at the well renowned Skip Barber Motorsport School.

If you've been missing James Hinchcliffe behind the wheel, rejoice: he'll be joining his fellow Canadians at Pfaff Motorsports for the endurance races in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, starting with January's Rolex 24 at Daytona. It marks the first outings for the Mayor of Hinchtown since he traded in his NTT IndyCar Series helmet for a microphone at NBC Sports and on F1 TV for the past two years. The Ontario native won six times in his IndyCar career, where he drove for many of the biggest teams in the sport, but perhaps no triumph was bigger than his 2016 Indianapolis 500 pole—which came a year after a crash in practice for that race nearly killed him. Outside of racing, he was runner-up in Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars, and he continues to host Off Track, a podcast of his own with former Andretti Autosport teammate Alexander Rossi.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Hinch from April 2018!

Round 3 sends the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship to the tight streets of Long Beach!Support the showFollow the show on Twitter at @offintheessesFollow the show on Youtube at Off in the Esses

The second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship resulted in heartbreak for Porsche Penske Motorsport. Both Porsche 963 were eliminated in a caution with less than 20 minutes to go while running first and third. Despite the accident, the No. 6 Porsche 963 was still able to finish third in class and grab Porsche Penske Motorsport IMSA podium. The 12-hour race was a roller coaster ride for both Porsche 963. The No. 6 lost a lap just a few hours into the race when smoke developed in the cockpit, bringing Nick Tandy into the pits. The crew serviced the car and concluded the issue wasn't anything to be worried about and sent him back out. Just a short time later, the No. 7 fell off the lead lap with a suspension issue. Fortunately, both problems in the first half of the race were rectified. The fast pace of the Porsche 963, along with sound strategy and fast pit stops, allowed both cars to get back on the lead lap during a wave-around caution period.

In the fifth and final episode of Sportscar365's special week-long Double Stint at Sebring coverage, Jonathan Grace is joined by John Dagys to recap Thursday's action, including practice for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and qualifying for Friday's 1000 Miles of Sebring FIA World Endurance Championship event.Have a sports car racing-related question for the show?

Jimmy Vasser is known in racing circles as a championship winning driver (IndyCar 1996), and as a teammate to some of the most well-known racing drivers in the world, including Alex Zanardi and Juan Pablo Montoya. After retiring from his extremely successful career as a driver, Vasser became a team owner (with Kevin Kalkhoven) and won the 2013 Indy 500 with Tony Kanaan as their driver. Now with co-owner James Sullivan, he runs the Lexus factory racing program in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in both the GTD Pro and GTD categories. We caught up with him during the weekend of the 2022 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he gave us some interesting tales about Alex Zanardi. He also talks about transitioning from driver to team owner, and specifically, his factory Lexus team. Enjoy! NOTE: At Long Beach, both of Vasser's team cars finished on the podium (#14 in 2nd, #12 in 3rd). Overall, his team won three GT races in 2022, including the first win for Lexus in the GTD Pro category at Road America. Combined with nine podiums and four pole positions throughout the year, the team won the season finale (Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta with third driver Kyle Kirkwood) to give Lexus its first endurance win in the GTD Pro class.

Como se adelantó en el primer programa de la semana, ya está disponible la lista del WEC y el Mundial de Resistencia, al contrario que en los últimos años, tiene muy buena pinta. Desde el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, que lo estaban deseando, se tratará a fondo este tema, así como la antesala de las 24 Horas de Daytona, que se disputarán la semana próxima, mientras en la F1 calientan motores para las primeras presentaciones de los coches de 2023. Las categorías del WEC, a examen. Lo primero de todo, en este segundo programa de la semana, será repasar y aclarar las categorías que tenemos ahora en el WEC. Así, la clase Hypercar, que apareció en 2021, es la categoría más alta. Ahora ya no son sólo prototipos, como pasaba antes con la categorías LMP1, sino que también está abierta a vehículos basados en coches de carretera. La potencia total en esta categoría es de 500kW (motor y sistema híbrido si lo hubiera) y el peso mínimo son 1.030 kg. Lo más interesante de esta categoría, aparte de que deben funcionar con un máximo del 40% del presupuesto que tenían los programas híbridos de LMP1, es que hay dos subcategorías: LMH o Le Mans Hypercar, y LMDh o Le Mans Daytona h. El objetivo es que estos dos tipos de coches puedan competir entre sí tanto en el FIA WEC como en IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, es decir, que puedan enfrentarse en las 24 Horas de Le Mans y en la Rolex 24 de Daytona. Y, para abrir boca, repaso a los equipos más importantes de la categoría Hypercar: Cadillac Racing, Floyd Vanwall Racing Team, Porsche Penske Motorsport, Toyota Gazoo Racing, Hertz Team Jota, Ferrari AF Corse, Peugeot Totalenergies, Proton Competition y Glickenhaus Racing (que ya nos ha dado muchas horas de alegrías en pista). Categorías ¿inferiores? La siguiente categoría en orden de potencia sería la Le Mans Prototipo 2 (LMP2), un coche de competición que no requiere un mínimo de producción, de cabina cerrada y destinado únicamente a equipos independientes de fabricantes y/o proveedores de motores. Por último, las categorías Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance (LMGTE) incluyen coches de carreras que derivan de coches de calle para uso diario en carretera. Uso diario para los que puedan permitirse un coche de lujo como un Aston Martin, un Ferrari o un Porsche. Esta última e “inferior” categoría incluye a su vez dos subcategorías: la LMGTE Pro - destinada a profesionales del pilotaje - y la LMGTE AM - destinada a los conductores aficionados o amateurs. Como no podía ser de otra forma, ahora que vuelve a ser interesante esta competición que tanto nos gusta, los chicos del Podcast nos contarán todo lo que puedan de los equipos, pilotos y, sobre todo, los coches que más les gustan. Después del Dakar, la Fórmula E. Como todo lo que sube (como ha ocurrido con el espectacular Dakar de este año) tiende a bajar, toca hablar de la Fórmula E. La competición eléctrica de la FIA dio comienzo el fin de semana pasado en el circuito Hermanos Rodríguez, en México, al tiempo que terminaba el Dakar. Desde el programa se hace también un breve comentario de esta carrera. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
