Sascha and Georgie Mackay celebrate the pass of the season, and a deserved win in the Miami E-Prix, for Mitch Evans, looking back at the long and record-breaking career in Formula E for the New Zealander, who has committed fully to the series and shown how to win a wet-dry race. They also discuss Opel's rumoured entry into Formula E, why Tim Tramnitz, like Colin McRae, is definitely real, why Abbi Pulling doing Rookie Free Practice for Nissan is really big news, and we ask if driving a Ford GT and enjoying mum's chicken Kyivs should really be mutually exclusive.

Sascha and Georgie Mackay comb through the Mexico City E-Prix, which just happened to have a great outcome for both their favourite drivers! They discuss safety after Formula E's latest brake-by-wire issues, whether or not Edoardo Mortara is like Jimi Hendrix, and why Taylor Barnard is going to be a contender for a generation if he keeps going. They also talk about the first round of the Road to a Cause sim-racing series, the Four Hours of Sao Paulo, which brought a stunning solo victory for Prismatic Motorsports' Izzy Matthews. Sascha also announces some exciting future racing plans...

Sascha is joined by Georgie Mackay as they pick over the Sao Paulo E-Prix, looking at Formula E's usual raft of bafflingly inconsistent penalties for minor things, along with a truly justified penalty for dangerous driving. They also discuss the class act that is Jake Dennis, where Cupra Kiro go from here, and whether Lucas di Grassi really is still useful to have around a garage. There's also some personal stuff at the start from the host, but it doesn't last long, so that's okay I guess.
