Summary

Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast as he sits down with Stefan Mackley and broadcaster Karun Chandhok to preview the 11th season of Formula E, which kicks off in Sao Paolo this weekend. After Pascal Wehrlein won the Championship in a heated decider in London in the summer, he's back to try to retain the title, and if pre-season testing was anything to go by, Porsche looks like entering Season 11 as favourites. They've also expanded to six cars on their powertrains as the rebranded Kiro will also be running previous-spec powertrains. Their main opposition will likely be Jaguar, who still carry arguably the strongest driver line-up in the series with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. But can the pair of New Zealanders co-exist? There's also a discussion about Lola returning to Motorsport in collaboration with Yamaha and F2 race winner Zane Maloney making his series debut, why it could finally be Dan Ticktum's year, and how the new "Pit Boost" feature will affect the series famous "Peloton" racing style.

1:11.9	all the rounds have been in 2024, so it's a 2024 season, whereas this year actually is 2024,
1:16.9	25. Anyway, just a bit of pedantry there. And joining me to discuss the season as well is
