It's lights out, drop the clutch and lets get RACING!!! Join Huppy, Lachy, Schwags and KT, four Aussie mates passionate about motorsports as they talk all Formula One leading into each race and reviewing the thrills, spills and drama following. Join the statistician, the straight man, the joker and the newbie (you can decide who's who) for tongue in cheek banter as we reflect on the events, the personalities and the moments that make us go ooh and ah, and sometimes wake the house in the middle of the night with cries of frustration as we watch broadcasts from half a world away.
