Episode #535: Formula E London Finale/IndyCar Toronto 2024 Reviews

Motorsport101

Bit of a bumper edition of the show on this occasion. Before we get to IndyCar in Toronto, Dre, RJ and Cam discuss the Formula E Season Finale in London, as Pascal Wehrlein would win Race 1 and finish second in Race 2 to steal the title from Jaguar, who while winning their first World Championship since the Sportscar days of 1991, they missed the one title that eluded them, the drivers title, as Nick Cassidy was stuck behidn Pascal Wehrlein, and Mitch Evans had a battery drain after two failed Attack Mode activations. For the New Zealander, it was the THIRD time he's lost out on a last lap decider.
Then the action moves to IndyCar in Toronto, as for the first time in 800 days, the Rockstar Colton Herta finally won a race, as he dominated the weekend to hold off Kyle Kirkwood and a hard charging Scott Dixon going from 15th to 3rd, and Alex Palou extending his title lead to 49 points.
But it wasn't without drama. Alexander Rossi broke his thumb on Friday practise and in a shock, Theo Pourchaire was called in at the eleventh hour to replace him, and he ended up being the only McLaren finishing after a huge wreck with Pato O'Ward spinning out led to Santino Ferrucci sideways in the catchfence, and six cars wrecked.
All that and more on a chaotic Motorsport101!
