About this episode
Nordschleife record talk kicks things off with Frederick Vervisch joining to discuss the Ford GT Mark IV’s 6:15.9 lap—how rain, tire temps, sound limits (138 dB), and smooth driving inputs shaped the run. The show then pivots to sports-car schedules: John De Geest previews ELMS at Barcelona, NLS3, and WEC/GT3 storylines (including Lance Stroll’s GT3 debut and Ben Keating’s injury). F1 rules and safety are debated with Nick Damon, alongside a Super GT postponement due to Middle East logistics. Rally Report covers the 2026 ERC calendar and title contenders, and Logan Sargent shares Ford hypercar/WEC simulator updates and Le Mans expectations.
