Dirty Side Digest #10

On the Dirty Side this week…

The new season finally arrived although for most of the world was at a time that meant early mornings or late nights. it also meant for us at the Dirty Side picking our sessions to watch live and which to lean into replays.

The race was of course watched live and it was so good to finally have cars on track again after what feels like an eternity.

We were keen to see if pre-season promise across the paddock would translate into race pace and also how the rookies would get on.

Mother Nature decided to pop in as well via the sprinkling of plenty of rain over the track on race day.

Was it a good race or a good spectacle? Listen as we dissect what we saw…
