63: A New Champion Rises
The 63rd episode of The Apex’s official podcast arrives with recaps of five races at Sonoma Raceway and a review of the latest headlines.
Both the Verizon IndyCar Series and Pirelli World Challenge’s GT classes ended their seasons at Sonoma, crowning champions and setting the stage for 2018 when the two will come together once again on the streets of St. Petersburg in March.
Driver speculation and confirmations continue for both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship — which has two races remaining — and the Verizon IndyCar Series as it settles into its long offseason.
