Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, how to watch this weekend’s NASCAR, Formula 1, and IMSA racing, and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

This weekend is a big one for racing. Not only is Formula 1 making its return after a few-week break, this time at Singapore, but IMSA is contesting its annual season finale and NASCAR is heading to Talladega. If you’re a general race fan, this is going to be a great weekend for you!

I had an incredible time attending Petit Le Mans last year, and I’m honestly kind of sad that I won’t be there this year. Part of last year’s charm was the fact that the event was pushed to November due to COVID-19, so the cool weather and fall colors really made it a spectacular event. (Of course, the event is contingent on weather playing nice — so we’ll have to see how it goes.)

And Talladega is sure to be a must-watch this year, too. After last weekend’s tire-exploding disaster at Texas Motor Speedway, it’s going to be interesting to see how things fare at a high-speed track that’s already known for causing wear and tear on stock cars.

Is there anything we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
