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 Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR racing, and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
It’s one of my new favorite weekends of the year: that weekend when IndyCar and NASCAR compete at the same track during the same weekend. It’s nice to be in a place where these two series can coexist without actively trying to out-race the other.
We’re also heading into the tail end of the Formula E season. This weekend’s doubleheader at the indoor-outdoor ExCeL London circuit will provide some serious definition to the title fight currently going on between Stoffel Vandoorne, Edoardo Mortara, Mitch Evans, and Jean-Eric Vergne. It also looks like we’re going to be getting the races aired live here in America!
Finally, we’re also heading into the final Formula 1 race before summer break: the Hungarian Grand Prix. Whatever your thoughts about this particular track, I would strongly advise you tune into my new podcast, the Donut Racing Show, after the fact. (Yes, that is a cheap plug. You can find it on Spotify, Apple, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.)
Is there anything we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
