Live: The Parade Lap Extravaganza

By Christine Blachford

It's here, the end of the season, and the last Parade Lap of the year. Having taken a break for the last few race weekends, the Parade Lap is back to send off the F1 season in style. Two hours of discussion, predictions, games and music, will lead you in to the BBC coverage and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Live: Jump In My Car

By Mr. C.

We've reached the final European race of the season, which means it's potentially the last Parade Lap of the year, barring one or two specials depending on how the championship pans out. That being the case, our host Alex has upped the ante and taken the Parade Lap into the garage.

If you are in the live comments, you'll see his live stream in the Factbyte Factbox, whilst ours is displayed below.

We'll be underway at about 11:10am UK Time, and we need your race predictions, your Giggles'll Fix It requests, and of course, let us know what you're eating during the GP.

In addition, last race we assigned commenters with drivers they had to support for the next couple of hours, and it was great fun, so we're doing it again. The first twenty commenters will find themselves with a driver to support. Good luck!




Live: We've Got a Hill to Climb

By Christine Blachford

I'm not sure there's any way we can follow the awesome qualifying yesterday, or really precede the potential race we have today. But that is what we are going to aim to do! The Parade Lap is here to brighten up your morning, and while away an hour until the race coverage begins.

We want your predictions, thoughts on the upcoming race, plus we'll indulge in other fun and games as per usual. We get going at 11:10 UK time, so I hope you can join us.




Live: The Final Countdown

By Christine Blachford

The worst thing about the summer break is not the lack of racing, or the lack of news and driver interviews, is it? There has been something much more important missing from your lives - the Parade Lap! Well, now it's back in all it's mad-cap, crazy segmented glory.

We'll lead you into race day with some music and laughter, and only vaguely touch upon the subject of Formula 1. Only at Sidepodcast could we get away with being the opening act for the BBC.

Live: Hungary for Some Racing

By Christine Blachford

It's been a crazy weekend so far, and if you're hoping for someone to make sense of it all, you've come to the wrong place. The Parade Lap is your one-stop way into the BBC coverage, who will then try and guide you through the racing action. We're here for the laughs.

Live: Just an F1 Minute

By Christine Blachford

All those rehearsals we've been doing should take effect now, in the first Parade Lap in our new setup. We're joined by Alex who will hopefully keep things running smoothly whilst we panic about everything we've broken in trying to make it better.

Nevertheless, the Parade Lap is always a lot of fun, music, chatter, games and laughter, with the occasional mention of all things F1.

Live: I Want a Bigger Bibendum

By Christine Blachford

With an entire day wiped out of our podcasting schedule, we are marvellously behind which means Alex is even more in charge than he was before. Living up to his title as the host, naturally.

We're in for a fun-filled hour of songs, chatter, predictions and probably talk of food, and we are not allowed to run late because apparently the BBC have something special for their opening VT.

Live: The Real Reason Fans Don't Attend the Races

By Christine Blachford

Why would you go all the way to Turkey and watch a race in the empty grandstands when you can stay at home and enjoy an hour of banter from the Sidepodcast Crew and Alex, an hour of build up by the BBC, and then coverage of the whole track?

Here in SPC Towers, we're more than a little unprepared this week, but I know Alex will keep us under control. If you've got your predictions handy, then feel free to share them and we'll try and read them out on the show.

Live: The Jewel in the Parade Lap Crown

By Christine Blachford

The Parade Lap is back and this time we're celebrating everything cliché as we get you started on this Monaco Grand Prix morning. You may find the odd mention of F1 but with our guest host Alex from SofaF1 joining us, chances are it will be all about the music and the giggles.

We Tremayned on the Debrief last week, so stay tuned to find out what games we can create in this next hour that will also become a Sidepodwide phenomenon.

Live: It Starts and Ends With a P

By Christine Blachford

Lo and behold, the long-awaited return of the Parade Lap. It's fair to say that the future of this show has been, and still is, unknown, but for this week, it is back. We're bringing in guest host Alex from SofaF1 to help us along the way, and the usual mix of songs and chatter will lead us nicely into the BBC coverage.

I don't know exactly what's on the cards for this next hour of fun, but I can say for certain that we will not be baking a cupcake. That's for the end-of-season show!
