Happy Friday and welcome to our new Weekly Motoring Goodness newsletter!

We started this newsletter as a way to promote the inventory from our ‘Paddock’ software network but along the way we’ve developed a small community of just over 3,000 subscribers. Because of that, we’ve continually done our best to deliver great content on a weekly basis but now we’re taking it to another level!

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding new content from new writers and even have a referral program coming up to give back for all your support.

Thanks again for following our journey and we look forward to giving you more motoring content every Friday!

Formula 1

We’re going Sprint racing!

As Formula 1 continues to evaluate options for a more fan-friendly production, it seems that all 10 teams have agreed to an updated Sprint race format for the rest of the season. This means that race fans will now have two races on every grand prix weekend - the Sprint on Saturday and the main event on Sunday.

In this new format, Friday will host FP1 and a qualifying session that’ll set the starting grid for the main event on Sunday. As for Saturday, drivers will complete a qualifying session in the morning that’ll set the starting grid for the sprint race later that same day.

We know there’s mixed opinions on the decision but when you consider that Formula 1 does a live broadcast of FP sessions, which are literally just the athletes going out for practice……. It kinda makes sense to broadcast something more exciting.

Next race: Sunday, April 30th @ 7am EST

MotoGP

Sprint racing - more viral than a Tik Tok trend

MotoGP has also adopted the two race weekend and much like a viral Tik Tok video, the Sprint races produce some great content.

Last week in Argentina, the Tissot Sprint race delivered non-stop action and a sensational P15 to P1 finish for Brad Binder. However, while his ride on Saturday was something for the history books, Binder was only able to finish P17 in the main event on Sunday.

Just a small indicator that going forward, Saturday’s will be a display of pace and bravado, while Sunday’s are reserved for a finer display of race craft.

Next race: Sunday, April 30th @ 9am EST
