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?
It’s all happening this weekend! All four major international open wheel series are running concurrently this weekend, as F1, IndyCar, Super Formula, and Formula E are all blasting around various circuits at or around the same time. It’s going to be hard to catch all of the action this weekend, but we’re here to help you give it the old college try. Go get a case of Red Bulls (I prefer pineapple flavor) and stock up on snacks, because there are about to be some late nights and early mornings for the race fan. Hot damn, it’s a good week to watch racing!
