We're often told that the manufacturers' title is what matters most to teams competing in motorsport. But is that truly the case?

Former Toyota, Subaru and Mitsubishi team manager George Donaldson takes center stage on this week's podcast to share his experience of fighting for WRC titles in the 1990s and early 2000s and provide a deeper understanding of just what the manufacturers' championship means.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lando Norris has asked for the Jaws music after dominating the Singapore Grand Prix and closing the gap to Max Verstappen to only a fraction more than two race wins. The title hunt is alive, and with Oscar Piastri ready to take points off the reigning champ, it may only be a matter of races before Norris snatches the lead in the drivers' title, just as McLaren did to the constructors' championship last week… which is just as well, because there are only six races left now. We look at the impressive young Argentinian Franco Colapinto while reflecting on Daniel Ricciardo, who may have just driven his final Grand Prix… much to our disgust. A bit of Supercars with the news that Mark Skaife has resigned from the RACE and Supercar Boards, leaving the sport open to negotiate a new TV deal without any conflicts. We reflect on his time and his critical role in getting Supercars to where it is today. And what about those Ford engines? Will they be OK for Bathurst?

The end result went begging for Mārtiņš Sesks in Latvia, but it doesn't matter - the statement he has made to the entire World Rally Championship service park is emphatic.The question now: what happens next?M-Sport team principal Richard Millener has already said he'd love to have Sesks back in the car, but how feasible is that? If Sesks can't make an M-Sport reunion work, what other options does he have? Could there potentially be room at Hyundai with its third-driver strategy for 2025 coming under review, or does he need to wait until a new manufacturer signals interest in the WRC and needs a driver it can mould around its project?But Sesks wasn't the only talking point: what about Sébastien Ogier? Could we really see him commit to the thing he always said he wouldn't ever do - doing effectively a full season again and potentially chasing that record-equalling ninth world title?Then there's the road order debate - does a qualifying stage need to be considered again? And has Toyota got to revise its team order strategy, with Takamoto Katsuta stealing points from Elfyn Evans on the powerstage?Join in all the discussion as Alasdair Lindsay, Colin Clark and George Donaldson dissect all the major talking points from Rally Latvia 2024 on SPIN, The Rally Pod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Toyota Gazoo Racing's Kalle Rovanperä is one of the brightest young talents in Motorsport having rewritten the World Rally Championship record books, becoming the youngest ever champion aged 22 in 2022. Last year he joined an elite group of drivers to defend the crown that include Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion, Tommi Makinen, Sebastien Loeb and Sebastien Ogier.

A dramatic Rally Portugal brought plenty of talking points to the World Rally Championship last weekend. While Toyota's Sébastien Ogier secured his second consecutive WRC victory with a masterclass performance, Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville significantly extended his lead atop the drivers' championship standings. Titles are won by maximizing your points on events where winning isn't possible, and Neuville appears to have mastered that approach. Was it a champions' drive that we witnessed last weekend? Our experts have their say on this week's edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod, as Colin Clark and Jon Scoltock are joined by ex-driver Simon Hughes to discuss the action. A deflated Elfyn Evans and his unflappable co-driver Scott Martin, the rise of Adrien Fourmaux into a leading contender, and Portuguese ice cream are just a few more of the topics the intrepid trio chew over.

Croatia Rally's ‘Super Sunday' proved to be particularly dramatic as mistakes by Thierry Neuville and Elfyn Evans on the same stage proved costly on the latest round of the World Rally Championship. But just how did those errors occur? Were Neuville and Evans unlucky or could they consider themselves fortunate to be able to continue and limit their time loss? Ott Tänak too had his fair show of moments on the treacherous SS18, while Adrien Fourmaux lost more time than anyone – but bounced back to win the powerstage. George Donaldson and David Evans join host Alasdair Lindsay for the latest edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod, where George provides expert analysis on the moments in question. Rally winner Sébastien Ogier's scathing indictment of the 2024 points system provides another talking point, while there is also discussion of Croatia's chances of appearing on the 2025 calendar and the latest driver set to compete aboard Rally1 machinery.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thierry Neuville heads to this week's Croatia Rally with a six-point lead in the World Rally Championship standings. He's been at the top of the pile ever since the season kicked off in January - but he's had to rely on some stunning ‘Super Sunday' performances on the past two rounds. Is the Hyundai driver building a sustained title bid? Or can Elfyn Evans find that elusive sweet spot with his Toyota GR Yaris and strike a momentum-swinging blow on a rally he won last year? With pressure building on Ott Tänak to produce a strong result, Adrien Fourmaux seeking a third consecutive podium, and returns for eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier and Andreas Mikkelsen, there's plenty of WRC talking points for Colin Clark and David Evans on this week's SPIN, The Rally Pod.

Motorsport Ireland has confirmed that Ireland is no longer being considered to host a round of the FIA World Rally Championship in 2025. In January, Kerry moved a step closer to hosting a round of the WRC alongside Limerick and Waterford. However, the bid was dependent on the success of the funding application to the government. Jerry spoke to Seán Moriarty of Kerry Motor Club and part of the team behind the bid for Tralee, and Cathoirleach of Kerry, councillor Jim Finucane. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae also expressed his disappointment with the news.

With Otago Rally taking place in New Zealand this weekend and an important WRC Commission just concluded, there's lots to digest on this week's edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod.

Colin Clark and David Evans discuss what draws folk from all over the world to the wonderful city of Dunedin for the event. The pair also ponder the future of the WRC, where many key suggestions from the FIA's working group have been overshadowed by the debate over technical regulations, while the European and British Rally Championship's season-openers are further topics covered on the pod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Compressing Travis Pastrana's career into a short blurb is an impossible task—but when you've had so much success in so many disciplines, you almost need no introduction. Maybe you know him from his feats on two wheels, from AMA Motocross and Supercross titles to X Games gold or even his stunts with Nitro Circus. Maybe it's his four-wheel feats, from numerous American stage rally titles to wins across multiple rallycross disciplines, including the series he founded, Nitrocross. He's won a Class 1 World Powerboat title, led laps in the Daytona 500, won his class at Pikes Peak, competed in Monster Jam and the World Rally Championship, jumped over fountains in Las Vegas… if you didn't know him, you'd think we were making this all up.
