Welcome to episode 18 of the Lovecars on the grid podcast! 
Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman bring us another roundup of motorsport events from the past week! We have proper microphones this week!  
You join the duo this week in America, as we film at the Triple F Collection, with some incredible cars behind Tiff and Paul, including a La Ferrari!   
We pay tribute to begin with to Ayrton Senna. On this day in 1980, a young Tiff Needell qualified for the Belgian Grand prix, sharing the back row with Emerson Fittipaldi!  
Moto GP took place at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain, with a win for Ducati rider, Francesco Bagnaia, ahead of championship leader, Fabio Quartararo, who finished in second on his Yamaha. In Moto2, Japanese rider, Ai Ogura won on his Honda, whilst in Moto3, Spanish rider Izan Guevara took the win on his Gas Gas.  
The DTM cars were at Portimao, with wins for both Audi and Mercedes. Rally driver, Sebastian Loeb was driving a Ferrari, rising to 16th and 18th during the races.   
Formula E were at Monaco, with Mitch Evans on pole in his Jaguar. Evans couldn't continue at the same pace with his energy plan, resulting in Mercedes driver, Stoffel Vandoorne winning the E-prix in Monaco. Evans did manage a 2nd place though!  
Brands Hatch had one of the biggest crowds ever for the GT cars. The Doctor, Valentino Rossi was driving one of the GT3 cars, scoring his first points this weekend in his Audi.   
With it being a bank holiday in the UK this weekend, the British Superbikes at Oulton Park are still taking place!   Indycar was a race all about strategy at the Grand Prix of Alabama. There were cars stopping for fuel, whereas other cars were going for longer stints, making for an epic race! Rinus VeeKay managed to get pole position in qualifying, but had a slow out lap due to having cold tyres, leaving the win to Pato O'Ward, with Veekay finishing 3rd place. Ex Formula 1 star, Romain Grosjean caused a bit of trouble with some wheel banging during overtakes.  
The IMSA Sports cars were at the Laguna Seca Circuit. Acura managed a 1, 2 finish, with the Brits Oliver Jarvis and Tom Blomqvist bringing home the second place.  
NASCAR was supposed to be racing in Dover, but was postponed due to poor weather. They are in fact racing today! Who will win?  In other news, Porsche and Audi have announced that they will be entering Formula 1! Sadly, this doesn't mean that there will 4 new cars on the grid. Instead, Porsche will partner up with Red Bull, whilst Audi is expected to partner with the Sauber Alfa Romeo team.   
Next week, we have a new Formula 1 circuit, at the Miami Grand Prix! With lots of overtaking opportunities, it's set to be an exciting race! At Spa in Belgium we have the LMP2 cars. The British GT Championship comes to Silverstone, then we have NASCAR at Darlington Raceway!
