The Purple Sector pony is saddled up and ready to ride! We've been on an epic summer break from recording so there's some catching up to do.  We touch on things we missed on track, soap off the track, Silly Season happenings, a trophy upturn, and much more. It starts as a show to catch up then turns into a defense of and love letter of sorts to Formula 1 as our shows often do.  It feels necessary given the hate that trolls are throwing at F1 due to Max Verstappen's current dominance in the roaring Red Bull.
