The Rumor Show

Ok, so it’s not really between seasons since Asian Le Mans Series starts this weekend, but just about everything we follow has wrapped up for the 2026 season. Now it’s time for some good old off-season speculating.

The F1 news and the Sportsycar news has all blended together into the silliest of seasons, and we have all of it. How will all of the events of the past weekend play out in F1, WEC, IMSA, IndyCar and beyond?

Nicole went to her final race of the season, the F1 USGP in Austin. She shares some stories from there, and then we all talk about the IndyCar schedule and some sportscar silly season rumors.

The end of the season brings many rumors, and we go through all the ones we’ve heard up to this point. Some are more credible than others, and some are actually just confirmed at this point.

It’s the end of the season and Nicole is exhausted. That didn’t stop her from traveling to Indianapolis to see Kévin Estre drive a GT car at the speedway. But it also made her share some really strong opinions on 2026 as a whole.

The 2026 IMSA season came to a close, and we were there. We honor the fallen tributes, create a circus act, recount interviews, and of course talk about THAT win. The season was long and tough, but it was worth it in the end.

We kind of touch on all topics this week in the run up to the final IMSA race. WEC at Fuji, IMSA BOP, Fights in NASCAR, IndyCar number changes, and noise at COTA.

Nicole was in Indianapolis for IMSA’s Battle on the Bricks. She has all the stories from her weekend, including that trophy pic from when Kévin got another podium after what felt like forever.

We talk about the serious issues of the week such as late season sadness, licensing, lineup changes, and descend into Aus having to apologize to Kévin Estre.

Auston and Nicole went to the WEC race at the Circuit of the Americas. They got invited into the McLaren Garage, and Auston became a social media star for Genesis. All the stories are here.
