The Outside Line Podcast

Gordon Bennett! - F1 Austria

This week we cover the F1 Austrian GP where double trouble in qualifying thankfully prevents a front-row lock-out from Mercedes. However, there are several unsolved mysteries such as how the Red Bull car worked suspiciously well at the Red Bull Ring, how lifting off the throttle made you go faster, and how the F2 stewards were so lenient (unless your name is Stenshorne). The F2 races provided the best action as the reverse grid race became a reverse championship race and apple reveal the new ipod-cast Mini.

Abundance of Cautions - Indycar Road America and FE Sanya

This week we cover the Indycar Race at Road America and the Formula E race in Sanya. Despite being completely different formats, there were a lot of similarities between the two races. Both had trigger happy race directors, both finished with the green/white/checkered combo, both featured screw ups from defending champions, and in both Andretti were surprisingly competitive.

Get in there Luigi - F1 Barcelona and Le Mans 24

This week we cover the Barcelona-Catalunya GP in F1 and attempt to cover the 24 hours of Le Mans. It was a big day for sportsmen over 40 as Novak Djokovic was in attendance to wave the checked flag, Alonso got to live his dream of watching the race from his own stand, and Hamilton was looking to build on his recent form and make use of the latest updates from Ferrari. In F2, Rafa (Câmara not Nadal) impressed again in qualifying, but can he bring home the win this time and avoid another admonishment from his own race engineer? Finally we try to squash 24 hours of Le Mans into 10 minutes.  Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license [https://filmmusic.io/standard-license] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Good Job Buddy - F1 Monaco and Indycar St. Louis

This week we cover the F1 race in Monaco and the Indycar race in St. Louis, both of which featured red flags, treating us to some fun shots of drivers having to hurriedly run back to their cars. This year Monaco shockingly delivered an exciting race, despite having little to no overtaking, as per usual. This was due to a plethora of mechanical issues and penalties that shook up the field to such an extent that Cadillac or Aston Martin were actually battling for points. Sadly F2, on the other hand, was far more straightforward. Luckily late night Indycar provided drama as Alex Palou’s amazing run of luck finally ran out of gas.  Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license [https://filmmusic.io/standard-license] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Mo Town Time Machine - Indycar Detroit

This week we cover the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix in Indycar, where, as you’d expect, the Chevrolet engines performed as poorly as usual. In a race where the stewards took revenge for their recent criticism by officiating at random, we were repeatedly tantalized by the prospect of someone challenging Palou for the win. We also briefly cover a few of the feeder series races where F1 Academy champion Abbi Pulling got her first win in GB3.  Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license [https://filmmusic.io/standard-license] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
