Stacey has the legendary PETER BROCK in the shop. They dig deep into Peter's history working with Carroll Shelby designing the Shelby Daytona coupe, his BRE racing days, working with Nissan perfecting the original Z-Car engine, and his early pioneering work in hang glider designs. Yes, you read that right, hang gliding! Peter describes how he took those early bamboo, duct tape, and plastic "kites" people were using in the late 1960's and turned them into state-of-the art hang gliders which led the industry in safety improvements.

Solemos empezar el año con buenos propósitos: paz, amor y tranquilidad. Pero si echamos la vista atrás a la historia de Maranello, nos damos cuenta de que todo eso a Enzo Ferrari le importaba un pimiento. Si Il Commendatore hubiese tenido espíritu navideño, la historia de su marca sería mucho más aburrida. Ferrari no se construyó solo a base de victorias; se forjó a base de portazos, gritos y enemigos jurados. Para Enzo, el conflicto no era un fallo de gestión, era su combustible. Creía firmemente que enfrentar a sus pilotos entre sí o contra el mundo era la única forma de sacar lo mejor de las máquinas. En este vídeo recorremos cronológicamente los 15 conflictos (más un Bonus Track muy especial) que definieron la leyenda. Desde los años 50 hasta su muerte, aquí no se salva nadie: ni los campeones, ni los gigantes industriales, ni el Papa. CRONOLOGÍA DE LA POLÉMICA: 1. Stirling Moss (1951): La "promesa rota". Cómo Enzo ninguneó a un joven Moss en Bari dejándole sin coche, creando a su primer gran enemigo por pura falta de educación. 2. Juan Manuel Fangio (1956): El choque de dos machos alfa. Enzo odiaba que el piloto fuera más importante que el coche, y Fangio lo era. Una guerra psicológica que acabó con el argentino huyendo de Maranello. 3. El Vaticano (1957): Tras la tragedia de Guidizzolo, la Iglesia y L'Osservatore Romano compararon a Enzo con "Saturno devorando a sus hijos". Un juicio moral que le alejó de la religión. 4. Jean Behra (1959): Un puñetazo al gerente del equipo en un restaurante y un despido fulminante por teléfono. 5. Carroll Shelby (1959): El juicio moral de un americano que vio a Enzo como un monstruo que enviaba a los jóvenes a la muerte, sembrando la semilla de su futura venganza con el Cobra y Ford. 6. Carlo Chiti y los Ingenieros (1961): La "Noche de los Cuchillos Largos". El despido masivo de la cúpula técnica por quejarse de la injerencia de la esposa de Enzo. 7. Phil Hill (1961): El campeón ignorado. Ganó el mundial con amargura y se marchó al sentirse traicionado por la "famiglia". 8. La FIA y el GTO (1962): Cómo Enzo engañó a los inspectores moviendo los mismos coches de un parking a otro para homologar el 250 GTO. 9. Ferruccio Lamborghini (1962): El error de marketing más caro de la historia. "Sabes conducir tractores, pero no un Ferrari". Una frase que creó a su mayor rival local. 10. Henry Ford II (1963): El "NO" de Maranello. Cuando Enzo se negó a vender su libertad deportiva y desató la ira de Ford en Le Mans. 11. Luigi Chinetti (1964): La rabieta por la que los Ferrari corrieron pintados de azul y blanco para ganar el mundial. 12. Peter Monteverdi (1965): Otro cliente VIP ofendido por exigencias económicas que acabó fundando su propia marca de superdeportivos. 13. John Surtees (1966): La traición de Le Mans. El único campeón de 2 y 4 ruedas abandonó el equipo a mitad de temporada harto de las políticas internas. 14. Clay Regazzoni (1976): El silencio como arma. Un despido cruel y sin palabras para un soldado fiel. 15. Niki Lauda (1977): "Judas". La acusación de traición al piloto que volvió de la muerte y que decidió marcharse antes de terminar la temporada. BONUS TRACK: La discusión con Dios (1956). La muerte de Dino marcó el fin del Enzo humano y el inicio del mito de las gafas oscuras. Una paradoja final: sin este carácter endiablado, Ferrari no sería lo que es hoy. Cada discusión creó un rival que obligó a la marca a ser mejor.

John Morton will be inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America on March 10, 2026. This is a fitting place for a driver who started his career working at Carroll Shelby's shop, went through driver's school, and eventually would go on to win some of the biggest races in the world including the 24hrs of LeMans, 12hrs of Sebring and more. Although most of his career was spent in sports cars and prototypes, Morton also made his Indy car debut at Long Beach in 1984 and scored a top ten finish. He would compete at multiple Indy car races over the next few years. We met up with Morton at the 2025 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he was just informed that he would be inducted into the MSHFA. He's a humble guy that is in much demand today to drive vintage race cars at a myriad of events and private tests. He's super cool, super fast, and super nice.

Whether you're a Shelby fanatic or just love hearing the stories behind the world's rarest collector cars, this episode is packed with insider insights straight from The Quail during Monterey Car Week.
Hubo un tiempo en que los coches deportivos eran inalcanzables para una gran mayoría. No existían deportivos asequibles ni se habían inventado los GTi. Y surgieron verdaderos “magos” que consiguieron hacer deportivos muy serios, algunos verdaderas “bestias”, a partir de utilitarios muy modestos. Hoy os traemos dos que, de alguna manera, vivieron vidas paralelas. Los nombres, en realidad más bien los apellidos, de Abarth y de Cooper sobreviven a día de hoy para destacar a los modelos más deportivos y prestacionales de algunas marcas, especialmente Fiat o Lancia en el caso de Abarth y Mini en el caso de Cooper. Nos vamos a mediados del siglo XX, cuando el mundo a duras penas se recuperaba de una guerra devastadora. Carlo Abarth en Italia y John Cooper en Inglaterra, algún día hablaremos de Carroll Shelby en Estados Unidos, vieron que coches comunes, modestos, tenían un potencial deportivo si se usaba ingenio y tecnologías. Karl Abarth era austríaco, nació en 1908 en Viena, pero pronto se trasladó a Italia adquiriendo la nacionalidad italiana e italianizando su propio nombre, que pasó de Karl a Carlo. Fundó Abarth & C. S.p.A. el 31 de marzo de 1949 en Bolonia, Italia y nace el logotipo de Abarth, un escorpión, que simbolizaba un animal pequeño pero peligroso. Es en la década de 1950, cuando Abarth ganó fama internacional gracias a sus sistemas de escape de alto rendimiento y a las preparaciones de modelos Fiat. Vehículos modestos como el Fiat 500 o el Fiat 600 recibían el toque Abarth y se transformaban en coches sorprendentemente rápidos para su tamaño. Sin duda, el auto icónico para la empresa fue el Fiat 500 Abarth. Partiendo de la base del Fiat 500 de 1957 de 479 cm3 y 13 CV, lo llevó en el Abarth 695 SS hasta los 695 cm3 y más 30 CV. Hacia finales de los 60, el éxito de Abarth atrajo a y en 1971, Fiat adquirió Abarth, que la convierte en su división de competición y preparaciones oficiales. Con Fiat, Abarth brilló todavía más en rallyes y circuitos. Y nace el espectacular Fiat 131 Abarth Rally, desarrollado por Abarth a partir de una berlina familiar y convertido en un coche de rally muy competitivo, con motor 2.0 litros de doble árbol y más de 200 CV. Con el Fiat consiguió los campeonatos mundiales de rally en 1977, 1978 y 1980. Hoy en día Abarth forma parte de Stellantis, el gran grupo europeo automotriz que engloba a Fiat, Peugeot, Chrysler y 11 marcas más. Hablemos de Cooper. A finales de los años 40 en Inglaterra, en un modesto taller de Surbiton (Londres), John Cooper y su padre Charles fundaron la Cooper Car Company. Su historia es paralela a la de Abarth, pero a la vez, muy diferente. John Cooper intuyó que podía construirse un coche de competición sencillo y barato: El Cooper 500, de la categoría F3, con motor de motocicleta JAP de 500 cm3 montado detrás del piloto en un chasis pequeño. Debutó en 1947 y, sorprendentemente, aquel coche de construcción casera se destacó por su equilibrio y agilidad. En los años 50, los Cooper siguieron escalando categorías. Y pilotos jóvenes y prometedores, como Stirling Moss o Jack Brabham, ganaron carreras con pequeños Cooper de motor central- trasero. Y por fin, en 1959 y 1960, el equipo Cooper-Climax sorprendió al mundo al conquistar el Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula 1 en dos temporadas consecutivas, siempre con el genial Jack Brabham al volante. Al comenzar la década de los 60 entra en escena El Mini, diseñado por Alec Issigonis para BMC en 1959, como la quintaesencia del utilitario británico: barato, muy pequeño, pero sorprendentemente espacioso, con tracción delantera y motor transversal. Y John Cooper vio en el Mini una base perfecta para un coche de rally por sus excelentes cualidades de agilidad y estabilidad. Convenció a BMC para producir una versión potenciada y así nace en 1961 nació el Austin Mini Cooper. John Cooper vendió su equipo de Fórmula 1 en 1965 y la Cooper Car Company dejó de fabricar monoplazas a finales de los 60. En cuanto al Mini Cooper de calle, BMC continuó produciéndolo hasta 1971. Y tras esa fecha, el nombre Cooper desapareció temporalmente de los Mini. En 1994 BMW adquirió la marca Mini junto a Rover, y decidió reinventarla. Aunque el Mini clásico cesó producción en 2000, BMW revitalizó la marca lanzando el Nuevo MINI en 2001. Hoy en día Cooper no es una compañía independiente, sino una legendaria denominación de modelo dentro de la marca MINI, propiedad de BMW. Todos los MINI modernos de aires deportivos llevan ese apellido: desde el Cooper de base hasta el potente John Cooper Works, que ha llegado a los 230 CV.
Horse racing was the most popular sport in early America, drawing massive crowds and fueling a cultural obsession with horses’ speed and pedigree. In the early 1800s, every town in America with a few thousand people had a horse racing track, with major cities drawing crowds of up to 50,000. In the midst of this was Alexander Keene Richards (1827–1881), one of the nineteenth century’s most significant Thoroughbred importers and breeders. Richards was like automotive designer Carroll Shelby, Matt Damon’s character in Ford v. Ferrari, who revolutionized the sport by blending innovation with a relentless drive to perfect the breeding and training of Thoroughbreds. Today’s guest is Gary Odell, author of Reinventing the American Thoroughbred: The Arabian Adventures of Alexander Keene Richards. We explore how Richards traveled thousands of miles on expeditions into the heart of the Syrian desert to obtain Arabian stock of the purest blood. He became the first American to venture into the desert to bargain directly with nomadic tribesmen for their horses. The Civil War interrupted Richards’s equine breeding experiment. After the war, he was bankrupt and spent the rest of his life attempting to rebuild his Thoroughbred facility. But Richards’ willingness to look globally for solutions—traveling to the Middle East for superior bloodlines—parallels today’s international talent scouting and cross-cultural exchanges in sports, fostering a legacy of globalized athletic improvement that shapes how American sports, from horse racing to other disciplines, prioritize scientific innovation and cultural adaptability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Step into the high-octane world of automotive excellence as we go behind the scenes with Gary Peterson, President of Shelby American. From the company's iconic Las Vegas facility, Peterson reveals the meticulous process of transforming standard Ford Mustangs into 810-horsepower Shelby GT350s that carry the legacy of Carroll Shelby's performance philosophy."We take a fairly regular or ordinary car and make it spectacular," Peterson explains, detailing how each $110,000 Shelby GT350 receives a custom aluminum hood with functional vents, a 3-liter Whipple supercharger, and unique interior touches that set it apart from standard Mustangs. Every vehicle carries a registered Shelby serial number to protect authenticity and investment value – a testament to the company's commitment to excellence since 1962.What makes these vehicles truly remarkable isn't just their breathtaking performance, but their everyday practicality. Despite supercar-level horsepower, each comes with a three-year warranty and can be financed through traditional channels. Peterson guides potential buyers through the purchasing process, recommending Shelby.com as the starting point to configure their dream machine before connecting with one of 200 authorized dealers.Shifting gears dramatically, we explore the surprisingly impressive 2025 Buick Invista – a vehicle that defies the current market's $50,000 average price trend with a starting MSRP of just $22,900.

He also won overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his co-driver A.J. Foyt in the Ford GT 40 Mk IV.Gurney retired as a driver in 1970, but continued to operate All American Racers for the rest of his life, famously partnering with Toyota in IMSA-GT and CART.
