Racing Economics, Hybrid Technology, Volkswagen and Sebastien Bourdais. With a week off from racing, the DTC panel has a round table discussion on the economics of racing and its effect on a variety of topics. Volkswagen's commitment to only electric powerplants in their future Motorsports programs heads up the discussion that also includes how Hybrid Technology will change the future of racing.

We also comment on the economic reality that has Sebastien Bourdais out of an Indycar ride, how a spending cap will effect Formula One going forward, and what NASCAR will look like with a common chassis manufacturer.
