Voecast
Welcome to the Voecast - presented by The Racing Line app - your personalised motorsport calendar. This is where a Scotsman, an Irishman and two Englishmen talk about motorsport. Covering all things endurance racing - Le Mans, WEC, ELMS and IMSA. With a smattering of F1 between the sportscars.
067 - At least you're still sat at Le Mans
It's race day for Sim's travel pod! We follow Sim around his various viewing points and notable spectating points throughout the race. Ending with some post-race thoughts at the campsite!
Please have a look out for Sims photos at Only Endurance, with some plans in the pipeline for content with them soon!

Day 4 of Sim's travel pod for Le Mans. We join Sim from a melting tent on a leisurely Friday morning.

063 - My Favourite Motorway
We decided against producing generic content at Voecast and thought we would cover Le Mans through Sims live experience of attending the race, which he has done every year since 2009!
On Day 1, we hear from Sim as he prepares to leave up to catching the Ferry at Dover.
PLEASE NOTE: For the second clip from Sim, there was an unexpected change of input, and it's of lesser quality. Please stick with us as this is a one-off - we do have audio standards!

062 - Who plays tennis on a quad bike?
Scott and Dave join Matt and Sim as Voecast looks to get back on track! But before diving into the Spanish GP, there’s a bit of non-motorsport chatter to ease into the action. Once things rev up, the team unpacks all the key talking points — from the contrast between Doohan and Colapinto at Alpine, to Lewis Hamilton’s current situation with his race engineer at Ferrari. They also weigh in on the T1/2 penalty route controversy, Lance Stroll’s injury, and what makes the Barcelona circuit such a unique challenge.

Matt and Sim continue the content whilst the rest of the Voecast team are busy in real life. They examine the key points surrounding the Monaco GP, including the enforced tyre rule, proposed track changes to the circuit, and consider Monaco's place on the modern F1 calendar.

059 - He Knows How To Finish P2
Scott, Sim and Matt are here again to look at the talking points from the Saudi Arabia F1 Grand Prix. Scott lets us know of his fairly unique way of watching the Grand Prix before settling in to discuss the T1 penalty for Max and the further implication of time penalties vs orders to give the place back. Theres the standard Norris vs Piastri discussion, but has the McLaren development made the car tricker to race? There's a look at the Liam Lawson penalty with some rare support for the driver from the Voecast team.

The team end with a look at the incoming Audi team and what can be considered as a success for them.

Dave, Scott, and Matt discuss the merits of the Young Driver Academies of each team on the F1 grid.
