The 2026 Track Power Rankings

“Send us a Hey Now!”

It's the first week of the summer break and it feels like it will be forever until we see cars on track again.

So, we put on our thinking caps to see what we could discuss this week.

We decided to take a look ahead at 2026 and the calendar.  We both independently rated each track from 1st to 24th then compared our scores.

What unfolds is a discussion around the ones we had the biggest difference of opinion on as well as announcing our combined list in a 24th to 1st countdown.

Episode running order as always is...

1) News & Social

• All the best bits from both the sports news out there as well as what caught our eye on the various social channels
