Laurin Heinrich is finally getting his shot to race in a 963. Zachary Vanier is the PCCNA nominee to become a Porsche Junior (good luck Zachary!) Kévin Estre needs to talk to Laurens Vanthoor about shipping merch. Fuji Full Access film review. And more theories and drama about lineups and series.
There isn’t much going on for a while, if you ignore NASCAR and F1. But luckily Nicole went to the USGP at COTA so we have some F1 stuff to talk about. Obviously it gets derailed into talking about sportscars a bunch too.
Porsche Penske Motorsport swept the IMSA GTP titles. We were at the race and actually got to celebrate with the team so it almost felt like we were part of it. We interviewed Mathieu Jaminet, Tom Blomqvist, and Nick Tandy (and had a defintitely not an interview recorded chat with Matt Campbell).
Zebras do in fact have legs, and we are bringing one to Petit. Kévin Estre’s name is finally spelled correctly on our merch, and the series is finally correct on his merch. We have reasons for not wanting him (or Matt Campbell) to go to McLaren, partially orange based. Though there might be hidden signs he’s going anyway.
The WEC race in Fuji had us on the edge of our seats… all for different reasons. Japan brought out the crazy side of the PPM boys on Instagram. Laurens Vanthoor is anti-French, but Kévin Estre is very French. (Look Kévin, we did it right!) The 35 Alpine won the race, still not sure how. More Porsche rumors, Max Verstappen is a sportscar driver, and Indycar has a schedule.
A guide for David Malukas fans who aren't entirely comfortable with being a Penske fan, because, well, we've been there.
"Silly Season" in the World Endurance Championship is in full swing, and we have a lot of ideas, even if we don't agree with each other on them.
And the IMSA Battle On The Bricks just left everyone feeling...confused?
Kevin Estre knows how to use jumper cables, and other things we learned from the Suzuka 1000 KM race. ELMS at Silverstone drew a record crowd... or maybe not? The stories from our WEC weekend at COTA that we forgot to tell you. And Auston shares music tastes with a surprising driver.
By "we" obviously we mean Kevin Estre, Matt Campbell, Laurens Vanthoor and the Porsche Penkse Motorsport Car # 6 team. But honestly the way the weekend went, it felt like we won.
Stories from the paddock, autograph sessions, PPM Garage, grid walk, and more.
Plus interviews with Dries Vanthoor, Phil Hanson, Jules Gounon, Malthe Jakobsen, and Kevin Estre.
Carson Hocevar says eating Chilis makes your faster in the race, Kevin Estre disagrees. Discussions on the 24 Hours of Zolder, GTWC Europe and Asia, Indycar season finale in Nashville, and the start of the NASCAR playoffs.
Porsche Penske Motorsport finally told us what we all suspected, Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet will be racing at COTA. Film review of the WEC Full Access Brazil episode. F1 IndyCar and Superlicenses. NASCAR Trucks are going to St. Pete.
Logan Sargeant signed with PR1 for the remainder of the IMSA season and is bringing a lot of new fans with him. If you are one of those fans, check out our introduction to the series. Trust us, there's a lot to learn. And stick around for the full episode where we talk about more sportscar racing, and who Cadillac should sign to their F1 team.
Driving Standards, both in cars and golf!
Friend of the show and Chaos Crew member Morgan is on to discuss the IndyCar Pebble Beach video. Why are people pushing Will Power into retirement and not Scott Dixon? Austin Cindric should ask his Penske teammates about Supercars, Bathurst, or both. James Hinchcliffe put out a list of possible Cadillac drivers, and we have thoughts.
Mathieu Jaminet, why don’t you like American food? Where should F1 go next? Back to Magny Cours or perhaps Istanbul (not Constantinople). Somewhere completely unrealistic like the Norisring? Give us NAS v CAR at Bristol! And what is the point of having a favorite driver if you can’t poke fun at him sometimes (sorry Kevin).
Do team orders have a place in a championship battle? F1 hot takes about tickets, liveries and Lewis Hamilton. Should NASCAR have a playoff system? Congrats Porsche on two more championships. And did you know France and Brazil once had a war over lobster?
Kyffin Simpson got a Podium in Toronto so Dana's hair is going pink! Auston rates the Canada fits at the race. How did we forget PJ Hyett when we were coming up with Porsche 963 Customers? Connor Zilisch keeps making history, and maybe not all F1 fans hate other forms of racing.
Nicole sat down with Emmy, who attended the 24 hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, and 24 Hours of Spa.
We celebrated Bastille Day for some reason? BOP in WEC is still broken, it's just different now. Why hasn't PPM given us the COTA lineups? (We will be at COTA and really want to know) Mosport was a mess, does SVG deserve a playoff spot yet, and did the Verstappens orchestrate Horner's exit from Red Bull?
WEC Full Access for Le Mans came out, so we had to do a film review, which resulted in Dylan Estre gaining a fan. Nicole accidentally relived Petit 2024 again. People take F1 Podiums way too seriously. Our take on Josef Newgarden not talking to the media. And Neom McLaren is dead dead.
Another 24 hour race in June and another Porsche taking home second place overall. What WEC drivers are willing to "Ride the Dente" with us at COTA in September? IndyCar social media stole our friends' content. And a whole lot of lubrication talk, because we always want to know the lubrication.
It was a busy weekend of racecars! Nicole went to Road America, won a Kyffin Simpson wing and a Jack Hawksworth race suit. Interviews with Will Buxton, Kyffin Simpson, and Callum Ilott. The Nurburgring 24 Hours and Watkins Glen 6 hours happened, with results that have us feeling multiple different ways. And everyone is excited about Dale Jr's first win as a crew chief.
