Rec May29 - In this episode, Sayan and Akshay make a fool of themselves by forgetting Ford's entry in F1 while talking about Honda's return. After that very embarrassing oversight, they talk about the the war heating up between driverless cars and emergency responders, generative AI taking over all the news and endlessly argue if the new BMW 5 series looks good or bad.

To top all that, they went into an endless discussion on how carmakers have lost the plot while naming their electric cars and whether brands like Mercedes really need to be putting the same name on their sedans and SUVs.

Rec Mar31- In this episode of a brand new season, Akshay and Sayan start off with the obvious, F1 and MotoGP. After a lot of fanboy storytelling about Fernando Alonso, they talk about sprint format in MotoGP and then rant a lot about no TV broadcast for F1.

And very out of character for both of them, they speak highly of Hyundai, talk about solutions that are seeking problems and bring up serious concerns around EV ownership.
