We’re back after a week off with Stu Leslie from Off in the Esses, a YouTube channel covering IMSA. Stu talked all about how he got into IMSA, the excitement all the races provide and what we can look forward to this season. Stu was at the 24 Hours of Daytona and tells us all about his experience at the track and seeing the racing up close.
Off in the Esses has a ton of great content to check out if our chat peaks your interest in IMSA.
This is a great video to start out with: The Ultimate Guide to IMSA in 2024
The next race weekend is March 14-16th and has the Porsche Supercup, MX-5 Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo and Michelin Pilot Challenge supporting the 12 Hours of Sebring. Sally Mott will be competing in her second race weekend in the MX-5 Cup and Victor Gonzalez Racing will be back at it in the Pilot Challenge.
Before then, it’s almost time for F1 to get started, testing in Bahrain is this week from February 21 to the 23. You can watch testing on F1 TV. Then the Bahrain Grand Prix is the weekend of Saturday March 2nd. F2 and F3 will also be running that weekend, DAMS will be running two American drivers in F2, Jak Crawford and Juan Manuel Correa and in F3 there will be another American, Max Esterson.
We’ll keep track of all four US drivers involved across F1, 2 and 3 all season.
Next week we welcome our first open wheel driver as Canadian, Mac Clark, joins the pod to talk about his upcoming season in USF Pro 2000 and how he’s quickly climbing the open wheel ranks on his own personal road to Indy.
