It's a Mixed-Up World Except for Lola

Sascha and Georgie Mackay get together to round up the Formula E 2026-27 season. There's a surprisngly balanced discussion on the title contenders, a look at how Jaguar and Mitch Evans missed out on the driver's title even while clinching the teams' championship, and what all this means for the future of the category.

Dan Ticktum's Didier Pironi impression in the first race of the Tokyo E-Prix brought out strong opinions for Sascha and Georgie Mackay, as did the severe fall-off of the three people who were assumed to be fighting for the title based on early-season, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and Edoardo Mortara. The pod looks at the best possible smash-and-grab, and how Formula E found the dullest location in Tokyo. Georgie's iRacing run-out in a car that had a Jesus/Nicholas Cage livery was also pored over. Cyril Blais is remembered following his tragic passing.Join Motion Racing on Discord! https://discord.gg/sp8ey8bU4TFollow on Bluesky: https://motionracing.bsky.socialNewsletter: https://motionracing.substack.comWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@motionracingpodcast
