Episode #337: The 2021 Motorsport101 Awards

Jan 28, 2022, 05:00 PM

Get your suits and prepare for a spicy open monologue, because it’s award season again! After a year out, the 2021 Motorsport101 Awards are back, celebrating the worst and the best in the sport over the last 12 months or so.

We have some fun awards like the Race of the Year where the Indy 500 might have been hijacked with an genuinely GREAT race at Monaco, but not from the series you might expect. We dish out the Scotty Award for the series best overtake and there were some doozy’s from Formula E, and the recent F1 World Champion…

…We celebrate a young man winning a Moto3 from the pitlane, and the opposite as a participation trophy for the man who was just… “there”. Sports Cars also get featured, but not in a particularly pleasant way, and we actually seriously debate if F1 was the best series in Motorsport this year. No, I’m not joking.

And of course, the big ones, the Golden Cock for the biggest ballsup of 2021, and then our Drivers and Riders of the Year, with Hamilton and Verstappen going to battle one last time, and a lot of consideration for Pedro Acosta, Francesco Bagnaia’s sudden turnaround, and MotoGP’s new World Champion in Fabio Quartararo.

Enjoy the awards show, and back soon for even more off-season content!
