Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
Winter is finally over. We’ve reached the start of the racing season finally after an impossibly long off-season. Every day without racing is a bad day, so we’re back to good days, right? This weekend we will see a very cold but very exciting 24 hour race at Daytona, getting the American motorsport scene back up to speed. There are 61 cars on the starting grid! Elsewhere, Formula E is running its first race of the season over in Saudi Arabia. Heck yeah!
