Phil and Josh return for E303 of the GSP to cover everything that took place at the World's Center of Racing. The guys discuss Tyler Reddick's last lap pass to win the Daytona 500 along with all the other contenders plus those who were affected by crashes. They also look at Austin Hill's dominant O'Reilly Series victory on Saturday and Chandler Smith's four-wide pass for the win in the Craftsman Truck Series event on Friday. Phil and Josh also look at how some of the other stars like Tony Stewart, Travis Pastrana and Garrett Mitchell aka Cleetus McFarland faired.  The guys cover news items in IndyCar and Formula 1 regarding testing prior to the GSP Roundup, which Phil looks at Supercross at Seattle, World Rally Championship in Sweden, Formula E in Jeddah and Supercars season opener at Sydney. Josh returns for the crew to make picks and preview all three major NASCAR races at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) along with the Tate Fogleman Algorithm pick before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

Der Jeddah E-Prix 2026 liegt hinter uns und wir haben zwei komplett unterschiedliche Rennen gesehen. Luca Storms und Tobi Wirtz, der am Wochenende neue Pfade bestritten hat, analysieren das erste Pit-Boost-Rennen der Saison und die beiden Siege der ehemaligen Teamkollegen Pascal Wehrlein und Antonio Felix da Costa. Daneben geht es um den doppelten Pole-Sitter Edo Mortara, den Absturz von DS Penske sowie das gute Ergebnis von Cupra Kiro. Im Teleskop wirft Tobi zudem einen Blick auf eine deutsche Traditionsrennstrecke, auf der die Formel E vielleicht bald ihre Rennen austragen wird. Außerdem: Aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben, und so gibt es das in der Vorschau noch ausgefallene Grid-Dummies-Quiz nun ausnahmsweise auch einmal in einer Analysefolge. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

AutoFM Motorsport arranca con un anuncio clave en el calendario de la Fórmula 1. Barcelona renueva su contrato con el Mundial y alternará calendario con Spa, un movimiento estratégico que redefine el mapa europeo de la F1 y abre debate sobre el modelo de rotación en los grandes premios históricos. Analizamos el impacto deportivo, económico y político de esta decisión. El fin de semana internacional también deja titulares de peso: la Daytona 500 inaugura la temporada NASCAR, el Rally de Suecia sacude la clasificación del WRC y la Formula E afronta doble cita en Jeddah. En resistencia, las 12 Horas de Bathurst nos dejan uno de los incidentes más impactantes del arranque de año, mientras las categorías formativas compiten en Lusail y Valencia. Además, Alpine confirma su retirada oficial del WEC al término de la temporada, un movimiento que altera el equilibrio de la categoría Hypercar y que analizamos en clave técnica y estructural. También repasamos el regreso de Romain Grosjean a la IndyCar en 2026 con Dale Coyne Racing y la nueva etapa corporativa de Dorna como promotora de MotoGP. Actualidad, contexto estratégico y análisis técnico del momento que vive el motorsport internacional, con el sello AutoFM Motorsport.

Sascha and Georgie Mackay look at whether or not the Formula E Evo Sessions are still a good marketing exercise if they're in Jeddah, why Izzy Hammond crashing might have put the sport in a good light, and why we should all worry about Pascal Wehrlein. There's also an honest discussion about Saudi sportswashing. Meanwhile, Queen's Design with Mia Rose and Asa Nyanpire took an inspiring lights-to-flag win in the latest Road to a Cause 2026 race at Fuji Speedway, so they dive into that.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/@motionracingpodcastSong: Krezus & surreal_dvd - FirefliesMusic provided by NoCopyrightSoundsFree Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/firefliesWatch: http://ncs.lnk.to/firefliesAT/youtube

El E-Prix de Yeda 2026 dejó un golpe estratégico de alto nivel en el campeonato del mundo de Fórmula E. Pascal Wehrlein ejecutó una victoria milimétrica en su carrera número 100, sincronizando PIT BOOST y ATTACK MODE para abrir una ventaja decisiva que lo catapulta al liderato del mundial. Gestión energética impecable, lectura de carrera y sangre fría en el momento exacto. En la segunda carrera, António Félix da Costa respondió para Jaguar con una estrategia agresiva en los modos de potencia de 350 kW. Activaciones tempranas, control del ritmo y defensa final bajo presión para firmar su primera victoria con el equipo británico y reactivar la lucha por equipos frente a Porsche. Yeda confirmó una tendencia clara: el ATTACK MODE tardío marca diferencias cuando la carrera entra en fase crítica. Mortara volvió a demostrar ritmo de pole, Evans sumó consistencia y el campeonato se comprime en la zona alta. Porsche lidera pilotos y constructores, pero Jaguar ya está en modo persecución. La Fórmula E 2026 entra en fase estratégica total antes de su próxima cita en Madrid.

Nach dem Rennen ist vor dem Rennen! Nur eine Woche nach der Miami-Analyse kommt schon die nächste Vorschau-Folge. In Jeddah werden wir den ersten Double-Header der Saison sehen - traditionell in Saudi-Arabien mit zwei Rennen am Freitag und am Samstag. Freitag werden wir außerdem zum ersten Mal den Pit Boost sehen. Luca Storms und Tobi Wirtz blicken auf eine neue Regel, die in dieser Saison eingeführt wurde und küren ihre Favoriten für die beiden Rennen auf dem Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Im Teleskop blickt Tobi dann auf die ersten Gerüchte bezüglich des Rennkalenders für die kommende Saison - die erste mit den deutlich stärkeren Gen4-Boliden. Außerdem gibt es bei DF1 am kommenden Wochenende einen neuen Experten am Mikrofon. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Neste episódio, o Miguel Maia e o Pedro Dias analisam o que aconteceu em Miami: a luta estratégica pela vitória, o incidente que afastou Félix da Costa do pódio e o que os resultados dizem sobre a luta pelo título. Passamos ainda pelas rubricas Attack Mode, Curto Circuito e Alta Voltagem, lançando a antevisão da ronda dupla de Jeddah, que pode começar a definir o campeonato. O campeonato está ao rubro — e nós explicamos porquê.

During Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE, Rodi Basso, Founder & CEO of the E1 Series, shares the inside story behind the world's first all-electric powerboat racing championship and explains how E1 is shaping the future of sustainable water mobility.Born during the COVID pandemic and developed in collaboration with Alejandro Agag (Formula E, Extreme E), E1 was conceived not just as a racing series, but as a global technology laboratory for electric propulsion on water. Backed by Basso's extensive experience at Formula One, McLaren, and Magneti Marelli, the championship secured a landmark 25-year exclusivity agreement with the UIM, officially launching the World Electric Powerboat Championship in Monaco.At the heart of E1 is the revolutionary RaceBird — a purpose-built electric raceboat that uses hydrofoils to lift the hull above the water, dramatically reducing drag. Despite water being nearly 800 times denser than air, the RaceBird achieves exceptional efficiency, with the battery accounting for less than 20% of total weight and top speeds approaching 52 knots.

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!In the final part of our Umrah experience, we talk about all things Madinah, the resting place of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

El ABB FIA Formula E World Championship dejó en Miami una carrera intensa y cargada de lecturas. Mitch Evans fue el gran protagonista del E-Prix con una victoria de enorme peso estratégico, tanto para Jaguar como para el campeonato, en una prueba marcada por la lluvia, el Safety Car y la gestión milimétrica de la energía. Porsche salió muy reforzada del fin de semana con Nico Müller y Pascal Wehrlein completando el podio. Ambos confirmaron la solidez del equipo oficial en un escenario complicado, sumando puntos clave que mantienen a la marca alemana en la pelea directa por el título. Entre las grandes sorpresas del E-Prix destacó el rendimiento de Envision, con Joel Eriksson firmando un brillante cuarto puesto y Sébastien Buemi remontando desde la última posición hasta la séptima. También volvió a sumar Pepe Martí, noveno, enlazando su segunda carrera consecutiva en puntos y consolidando su progresión. No fue un buen día para todos. Felipe Drugovich pasó de una gran clasificación a quedarse sin recompensa tras el incidente con António Félix da Costa, mientras que Nissan vivió un fin de semana para olvidar con Oliver Rowland y Norman Nato lejos de los puestos de cabeza. Tampoco fue sencillo el E-Prix para Vergne y Cassidy, ambos fuera de la lucha por los puntos importantes. Con Miami ya en el retrovisor, el Mundial de Fórmula E pone rumbo a Arabia Saudí para un doble E-Prix en Jeddah los días 13 y 14 de febrero, donde se disputarán las rondas 4 y 5 en un momento clave de la temporada.

China missed its chance to win the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup title after losing to defending champion Japan 4-0 in the final on Saturday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.中国队未能把握夺得2026年亚足联U23亚洲杯冠军的机会，在沙特阿拉伯吉达举行的周六决赛中以0比4不敌卫冕冠军日本队。China reached the final for the first time after defeating Vietnam 3-0 in Tuesday's semifinals.中国队在周二的半决赛中以3比0击败越南队，历史首次闯入决赛。"I am sorry for failing to show our best game in this crucial final. It reflects our strength. We respect our opponents and also our own efforts," said China defender Hu Hetao.中国队后卫胡荷韬表示：“很遗憾在这场关键决赛中没有打出我们最好的表现。这也反映了我们的实力。我们尊重对手，也尊重我们自己的努力。”"I believe we will achieve a better result in the next edition, and every generation of the U23 team will make progress in the future. I trust them," he added.他补充道：“我相信下一届我们会取得更好的成绩，未来每一代U23队伍都会不断进步。我相信他们。”Yuto Ozeki and Kosei Ogura put Japan 2-0 ahead in the first half, before Ryunosuke Sato and Ogura rounded out the victory.上半场，尾关裕斗与小仓航生帮助日本队取得2比0领先；随后，佐藤龙之介与小仓航生再入两球，锁定胜局。Having won the title in 2016 and 2024, Japan beat South Korea 1-0 in the semifinals.日本队曾在2016年和2024年夺冠，并在本届半决赛中以1比0战胜韩国队。The defending champion had taken the initiative in the opening minutes and forced a couple of corners, while at the other end China also had a chance as Xiang Yuwang failed to make the most of a long ball with his header too weak to surprise Japan's goalkeeper Rui Araki.卫冕冠军日本队在开场阶段便掌握主动，并制造了两次角球机会；而在另一端，中国队同样获得机会，向余望接应长传后的头球攻门力量不足，未能对日本门将荒木琉伟形成威胁。China conceded its first goal of the tournament when Ozeki's strike took a deflection off defender Peng Xiao to go beyond a helpless goalie Li Hao 12 minutes into the match.比赛进行到第12分钟，中国队丢掉了本届赛事的首粒失球：尾关裕斗的射门击中后卫彭啸发生折射，皮球越过门将李昊入网，后者对此无能为力。Ogura won back possession out of the box as the midfielder took a few touches before unleashing a rocket into the bottom corner eight minutes later.8分钟后，小仓航生在禁区外反抢得手，这名中场球员调整数脚后轰出一记势大力沉的射门，直挂球门死角。Sato converted a penalty around the hour mark to make it 3-0 before a poor clearance went for Ogura whose first-time attempt took another deflection into the net.比赛接近第60分钟时，佐藤龙之介主罚点球命中，将比分扩大为3比0。随后，中国队一次解围失误将球送到小仓航生脚下，他的第一脚射门再次发生折射后入网。China had a goal denied in the 68th minute when Yang Xi was alert to poke in from a follow-up, but it was disallowed for offside.第68分钟，中国队一度取得进球：杨希在补射中机敏捅射破门，但因越位在先被判无效。On Friday, Vietnam claimed the bronze by conquering South Korea 7-6 on penalties after the two sides played out 2-2 in 120 minutes.周五，越南队在铜牌争夺战中与韩国队鏖战120分钟战成2比2，最终通过点球大战以7比6获胜，摘得季军。bottom corner /ˈbɒtəm ˈkɔːnə/球门死角（下角）goal denied /ɡəʊl dɪˈnaɪd/进球被判无效disallow for offside /ˌdɪsəˈlaʊ fə ˌɒfˈsaɪd/因越位判罚无效header /ˈhedə/头球攻门

A convincing 3-0 semifinal victory over Vietnam on Tuesday has secured China's youth squad its first ever final berth at the U23 Asian Cup, while sending the country's long-suffering soccer fans into frenzy on a night to remember.周二，中国青年队在U23亚洲杯半决赛中以3-0的比分力克越南队，不仅首次闯入该赛事决赛，更让苦等多年的中国球迷在这一难忘之夜陷入狂欢。Facing a surging Vietnamese side, which had cruised into the semifinals with four straight wins, the Chinese under-23 squad kicked off its first-ever match at the final-four stage of the biennial tournament with pragmatic tactics, keeping its Southeast Asian opponent at bay with solid defense in the first half at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.面对势头正盛的越南队，中国队以四连胜之势晋级半决赛。中国U23队在沙特阿拉伯吉达市阿卜杜拉·阿尔·费萨尔王子体育场迎来了本届两年一度赛事的首次四强对决。开场后中国队采取务实战术，凭借稳固的防守在上半场成功遏制了东南亚对手的攻势。Guided by Spanish coach Antonio Puche, Team China went into overdrive in the second half, throwing a swift one-two punch from centerback Peng Xiao's 47th-minute header and striker Xiang Yuwang's low shot in the box five minutes later to dictate the play.在西班牙教练安东尼奥·普切的执教下，中国队下半场火力全开，凭借中后卫彭啸第47分钟的头槌破门和前锋向余望五分钟后禁区内的低射连下两城，彻底掌控了比赛节奏。Star forward Wang Yudong's final dagger, scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time, sealed Team China's well-deserved win over Vietnam while booking an ultimate challenge against continental power Japan in its first-ever final appearance at the U23 Asian Cup.中国队前锋王钰栋在补时阶段第八分钟打入制胜一球，锁定胜局，助中国队在U23亚洲杯决赛中战胜越南队，首次闯入决赛便将迎战亚洲劲旅日本队。The Chinese squad had never advanced into the knockout stage at the previous five editions of the U23 tournament from 2014-24.在2014至2024年间的五届U23亚洲杯赛事中，中国队从未晋级淘汰赛阶段。In an earlier semifinal match, Japan outplayed its East Asian archrival South Korea 1-0 to advance into Saturday's final first.在稍早进行的半决赛中，日本队以1-0取胜东亚宿敌韩国队，率先晋级周六的决赛。With the team's confidence boosted by the history-making run, Chinese players are determined to give it all and try to win it all in its final showdown against Japan.凭借这段创造历史的征程，中国男足队员信心倍增，决心在与日本队的最终对决中全力以赴，力争夺冠。"We are really excited and proud. It's like a wild dream come true," the 22-year-old Xiang, who scored China's second goal, said after the match.打入中国队第二粒进球的22岁球员向余望赛后说道：“我们非常激动和自豪，这简直像一场疯狂的梦成真了。”"Now we are heading into the final without any pressure on our side. We will just stay relaxed and play the best game we can to try to win the championship.向余望赛后说道：“如今我们以零压力的姿态挺进决赛，只需保持从容，全力以赴打好比赛，争取夺冠。”"I really appreciate the loud-cheering Chinese fans on the stand tonight and those who've been supporting us unconditionally at home. It's their unwavering support that made us play with a strong motivation."“今晚看台上热情高涨的中国球迷，以及在家乡无条件支持我们的球迷，我由衷感谢。正是这份坚定支持，赋予我们强大的动力。”The last time a Chinese men's soccer team fought into a final at the continental level was 22 years ago when the senior squad reached the 2004 Asian Cup final at the famed Worker's Stadium in Beijing, where it lost 1-3 to Japan.中国男足上一次闯入洲际赛事决赛还要追溯到22年前——2004年亚洲杯决赛，当时国家队在北京著名的工人体育场以1-3不敌日本队。The long-awaited return to the pinnacle stage at an Asian tournament has provided Chinese fans with a much-needed comfort, seven months after the senior national team missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification for a frustrating sixth straight time in June.时隔七年再度站上亚洲顶级赛事的巅峰舞台，为中国球迷带来了久违的慰藉。七个月前，国家队在六月举行的世界杯预选赛中第六次遗憾出局，令人沮丧。biennial tournament/baɪˈeniəl ˈtʊrnəmənt/两年一度的赛事knockout stage/ˈnɒkaʊt steɪdʒ/淘汰赛阶段final dagger/ˈfaɪnl ˈdæɡə/制胜一球Pinnacle/ˈpɪnəkl/n.顶点、顶峰

Wir gehen mit einer sehr besonderen Folge ins neue Jahr und in die nun schon dritte Staffel von Fempire. Aber davor noch eine kleine Ankündigung: am 26. Februar, von 18:00-19:30 Uhr ist Fempire live zu sehen und hören beim Literaturfestival 'kindly invited', wo Rasha mit der wundervollen Terézia Mora über deren Literaturheldin sprechen wird. Tickets gibt es auf der 'kindly invited' Website zu erwerben. Kommt zahlreich! Für diese erste Folge im neuen Jahr hat sich Rasha mit ihrer guten Freundin und Kollegin, der grandiosen Autorin Rumena Bužarovska zusammengetan, um das Mikro diesmal umzudrehen. Rasha lädt erstmals eine Co-Hostess ins Studio und sitzt selbst im Gästinnensessel, um über eine ihrer großen Idole, die ägyptische Autorin, Ärztin und Aktivistin Nawal El Saadawi zu sprechen. Nawal El Saadawi, 1931 in Ägypten geboren und 2021 dort verstorben, hat ein sehr umfangreiches Werk hinterlassen. Viele ihrer Bücher wurden teilweise verboten oder zensiert. Nur sehr wenige ihrer Werke wurden bisher ins Deutsche übersetzt und wenn, dann werden sie nicht mehr aufgelegt. Trotz alledem sind Saadawi's Bücher vor allem in der arabischen Welt aktueller, einflussreicher und gefragter denn je unter jungen Feministinnen, zumal da Saadawi in den letzten Jahren eine Art Renaissance durch Social Media erlebt, wo immer wieder Ausschnitte aus ihren starken Interviews als Clips auftauchen. Rasha kennt ihr als Hostess von Fempire, aber sicher auch als Autorin. Sie wuchs in Jeddah, Saudi-Arabien, auf und lebt als freie Autorin und Übersetzerin im Ruhrgebiet. Ihr erster Roman „Weil wir längst woanders sind“ kam 2016 heraus und hat viel Aufsehen erregt. 2024 folgte dann endlich ihr zweiter Roman „Ich komme nicht zurück“. Daneben veröffentlicht Rasha Essays und Kurzgeschichten und arbeitet zurzeit an ihrem dritten Buch. Rasha's Freundin, Kollegin und diesmal Co-Hostess Rumena Bužarovska ist eine bekannte Autorin und Aktivistin aus Mazedonien. Kürzlich wurde sie von Harper's Bazaar als eine der einflussreichsten Frauen der Balkanregion ausgezeichnet. Sie veröffentlichte zahlreiche Bücher, darunter auch den Erzählband „Mein Mann“ (2022, im mazedonischen Original 2014 erschienen), der in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt wurde und ihr internationale Berühmtheit bescherte. Rasha und Rumena widmen sich vor allem Saadawis Roman „Woman at Point Zero“ (im arabischen Original 1973 erschienen) und ihrem großen Werk „The Hidden Face of Eve“ (1977 auf Arabisch erschienen). Sie sprechen über Feminismus, starke Frauen, Saadawi's erfrischende Direktheit und Klarheit sowie ihre Freude daran, in ihrem Werk und ihren englischen Interviews immer wieder den vermeintlichen ‚Westen‘ zu destabilisieren.

Today's guest is Maxime Chaya, Lebanon's foremost adventurer and the first person from his country to stand atop Mount Everest, which he summited in 2006. That Everest climb was actually featured on Discovery Channel's reality series "Everest: Beyond the Limit," but it was just one chapter in an extraordinary career of exploration.Max went on to complete the Seven Summits—the highest peak on every continent—and then pushed further, adding ski expeditions to the North and South Poles to achieve what's known as the Three Poles or the Explorer's Grand Slam .In 2013, he took to the ocean, rowing across the Indian Ocean with two crew mates and setting a Guinness World speed record in the process—covering over 5,800 kilometers in just under 58 days.But one of Max's most remarkable adventures came on two wheels. He and British ultra-runner Steve Holyoak completed not one, but two bikepacking expeditions across the Rub' al Khali—the Empty Quarter, the world's largest sand desert. Their first crossing in 2016 took them 1,500 kilometers from Abu Dhabi to Salalah, Oman in 21 days. They loved it so much they went back for more, this time riding 2,500 kilometers from Jeddah to Muscat over 33 days.Back home in Lebanon, Max continues to promote adventure sports throughout the region. He's also a sought-after motivational speaker, sharing his philosophy that "There is an Everest for Everyone."Please welcome Maxime Chaya.

Emma Kimiläinen and Sam Coleman race for Team Brady in the E1 World Championship, a new era of electric hydrofoil racing where men and women compete on equal terms. Heading into the Championship Finale in Miami at the top of the standings, they join Georgie Ainslie to reflect on the mindset and trust that keep them there.Emma explains how motherhood made her a calmer, more empathetic and ultimately sharper racer, helping her navigate the extreme pressures of high-speed racing and the psychological test of the series' underwater “dunk test.” Sam offers a fascinating look into what it takes to fly a RaceBird at 100 km/h with no autopilot, comparing it to piloting a fighter jet just above the waves, where decisions are made in split seconds and teamwork is everything.They also talk about the influence of Tom Brady, whose belief in them and quiet competitiveness have inspired the team's pursuit of perfection. From Venice to Jeddah to Miami, this is a story of courage, composure and performance at the very edge of possibility.________________________________The ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast talks to high-performers in the world of sport and beyond, to bring defining moments, hard-earned insights and expert advice to everyday performance.

In this final episode from Saudi Arabia, I travel from the peaceful Red Sea town of Yanbu to vibrant Jeddah – and end the journey at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival near Riyadh.  Along the way, I meet generous locals at a night market, stay with a kind CouchSurfing host, and visit the world's tallest unfinished skyscraper, the Jeddah Tower, now standing eerily still in the desert. The trip ends in true Saudi style – surrounded by majestic camels competing in a beauty contest with millions at stake. This country has surprised me in every way.
