Welcome to an off-season edition of Motorsport101 – We took a week off in the downtime but now we’re back with a special mailbag edition of the show with Dre Harrison and RJ O’Connell.
We take care of some general housekeeping, catching up with Ai Ogura potentially moving to the factory Yamaha squad and leaving Trackhouse, and letting that sink in. All of a sudden, Yamaha has a really solid lineup, better than you’d think for a team that’s bottom of the standings. Martin, Ogura, Toprak and maybe Guevara? Spicy. But what does that mean for Trackhouse? And what if Tech3 switches to Honda?
There’s a chat about IndyCar changing its Fast 6 Qualifying format to one-shot qualifying despite a rather unsuccessful trial run in Arlington. But then, we answer your questions! Including a Wrestlemania themed Motorsport fight, the death in Motorsport that had the biggest impact, and whose autobiography would we love to read from within the world of Motorsport. Enjoy!
