What will motorsport actually look like in the year 2125?
In this episode, we use the last 100 years of racing as a launchpad to imagine the next 100, not just in F1, but across endurance racing, rally, IndyCar and beyond.
If a 1950's Alfa Romeo driver would think a modern F1 car was built by aliens, what will our great-grandchildren think of today’s machines?
We break the future down into six big questions:
- Who wants to race in 2125? Why motorsport will be fundamental to the growth of Chinese brands and the survival of legacy brands.
- Who gets to race? How ultra-realistic simracing kills the old karting ladder and becomes the main talent pipeline.
- Why real tracks still matter in a world where VR can simulate perfect racing from your sofa.
- Sustainability or extinction: why motorsport will need to be effectively zero-emission just to justify its existence.
- Who pays for racing? How the classic sponsorship model shrinks and owned IP, fan bases, and targeted partnerships take over.
- Technology and safety: AI everywhere except making decisions on-track, combustion as a luxury experience, printed/grown cars, and an era of near-certain survivability for drivers. A crash is no longer something the chassis passively absorbs, it’s something the cockpit actively responds to.
