According to Gangiah, the 2022 Formula 1 season is about to begin — and interest around the sport has grown exponentially over the last two seasons.

Last season's finale attracted more views than the Superbowl and a survey released by F1 highlighted the sharp increase in fans who now view 'Grand Prix' as their favourite sport.

In this new podcast series, Gangiah will be joined by a panel of industry experts, fans and knowledgeable guests as they unpack each race of the season, and answer the sports' most pressing questions. The podcast will air every Thursday on Jacaranda FM's JacPod.

Gangiah hosted Absolute F1 on Supersport, recently hosted the 2022 Kyalami nine-hour event and currently presents Tuned In SA on Ignition TV.

F1: Track This will debut on Jacaranda FM's JacPod platform on Thursday, 17 March. According to the presenter this is just in time for race weekend.

Each episode will aim to give fans expert analysis on the current race, industry news and insights on what to expect in the races to come.

"I can't wait to share the latest in motorsport and topical racing content with South Africa's passionate formula one fans. Exciting times are ahead and I am delighted to be a part of a new era in F1,” says Gangiah.

Joining the podcast panel is race car driver Batshobonke 'Tschops' Sipuka. Tschops competed in the:
  • Formula Volkswagen class in Germany
  • saloon car racing in Malaysia, and
  • Super Truck racing in South Africa.
Tschops was also South Africa's first black motorsport champion, winning the Volkswagen Polo Cup Series twice.

Tasmin Pepper will also be joining the podcast panel. Pepper made headlines as the first woman to win a Formula VW championship race in South Africa and competed in the Wseries as one of the top 18 female drives chosen from around the world.

While the series will feature industry experts, fans of the sport are also invited to air their opinions and kick-start real conversations on every episode. Listeners wanting to participate in the podcast can follow the social media platforms for more details.
