## Resource

As a special bonus, we're making the Friday edition of our In-Car Insights podcast - usually only available to The Race Members' Club - free for everyone to listen to. This one was recorded as Edd, Ben and Val were winding their way through the Ardennes countryside en route to their lodgings, taking in parts of the classic Spa track. On the drive they discuss all of the day's big talking points, but Ben kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on seeing 2026 F1 machinery in the flesh for the first time. Has watching trackside made him to change his mind about this generation of cars, or does he still dislike them as much as before? Listen in to find out! If you like what you hear - and we're confident you will - head to Patreon.com/therace to sign up to The Race Members' Club and enjoy these bonus episodes (and much more besides) on every grand prix weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
