Podcasts about deltawing

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AUTOFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero. ¡Bienvenidos al podcast, bienvenidos a podcastmotor.es! Hoy vamos a hablar sobre los coches que han pasado por el famoso Box 56 de las 24 horas de Le Mans, también conocido como Garage 56. Este espacio se reserva para vehículos experimentales que no encajan en las categorías tradicionales, permitiendo la introducción de innovaciones tecnológicas. A lo largo de los años, varios prototipos han dejado su marca en esta categoría, y aquí están algunos de los más destacados: 2012 - Nissan DeltaWing: El primer participante de Garage 56, el DeltaWing, presentó un diseño aerodinámico y ligero con la intención de mejorar la eficiencia del combustible. Aunque enfrentó problemas mecánicos y se retiró antes de terminar, demostró el potencial de ideas radicales. 2013 - GreenGT H2: Este prototipo impulsado por hidrógeno no pudo competir debido a problemas de desarrollo, pero su inclusión destacó el interés en tecnologías de energía limpia. 2014 - Nissan ZEOD RC: Este vehículo híbrido eléctrico completó una vuelta completa del circuito de Le Mans en modo eléctrico antes de enfrentar problemas técnicos que lo forzaron a retirarse. 2016 - SRT 41: Un equipo que incluyó pilotos discapacitados utilizando tecnologías adaptativas. Este esfuerzo no solo mostró la innovación tecnológica, sino también el compromiso con la inclusión en el deporte. 2023 - NASCAR Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: En 2023, NASCAR utilizó Garage 56 para presentar un Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 modificado. Este vehículo completó 285 vueltas y terminó en el puesto 39, destacándose por su mezcla de tecnología NASCAR con la resistencia de Le Mans. Estos vehículos no solo han sido pioneros en términos de tecnología y diseño, sino que también han reflejado el espíritu de innovación y experimentación que caracteriza a las 24 horas de Le Mans. ¡Esperamos que disfruten de esta charla sobre algunas de las máquinas más innovadoras que han competido en esta icónica carrera!

Hey everyone and welcome back to TT. It has been a few weeks. I hope you are all well. Papa Tarmac was on vacay for a few weeks but I am back and I brought Ron with me. Before I left on vacation, we recorded our first Engineering Enigmas special and the first we talked about was the infamous DeltaWing. It was a crazy idea back in 2010 and the backstory is incredibly interesting. Take a listen and let us know what other weird race cars you would like for us to discuss in future episodes. It is great to be back. Enthusiasts never die!

Katherine Legge (of England) is one of the fastest race car drivers around. She is also female (which is not the novelty that it used to be in the world of auto racing). We caught up with her in the morning before her IMSA WeatherTech GTD race at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach – a place where she earned her first North American win in her Toyota Atlantic Championship debut! She has competed worldwide in an extremely diverse range of racing cars including Indy cars, Formula E, NASCAR, DTM, the Delta Wing and many, many more. She has an extremely pleasant and humble personality outside the car which by no means diminishes her fierce determination to wring every last bit of performance out of any race car she steps into.

We've been wanting to do an episode on UFO disclosure for a while now, so here it is! We also have a look at "Space Force" and it's symbolism at this time when more and more information is being disclosed about "unidentified aerial phenomena." Topics and conversation points include: 1.Upcoming  US Government report to reveal the truth that the US Military has been conspiring with or are aware of ET presence   2.Report due from the director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Defense to Congress, early June?   3.When President Donald Trump signed the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law in December, so began the 180-day countdown for US intelligence agencies to tell Congress what they know about UFOs.   4.The report will be from classified military files that that focus on experiences encountered by fighter and commercial pilots, warships etc and unexplained phenomena   5.Media interest was been significant. The admission that they were Navy videos of unidentified phenomena was taken as confirmation that "UFOs are real," and since "UFO," in common parlance, is equivalent to "alien," it was interpreted as, "Government admits aliens are real."   6.Much of the newfound, and newly sincere, interest in UFOs, this week appears to stem from a report on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday, which tackled “the US government's grudging acknowledgment” of UFOs.   Obama     7.“What is true, and I'm actually being serious here, is that there's footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don't know exactly what they are, we can't explain how they moved, their trajectory,” Obama told CBS.   8.“The Pentagon admits it doesn't know what in the world this is,” Carlson said, after he showed his viewers footage of a UFO. “From a national security perspective, that is a very big problem.”   9.The interest in UFOs will probably only grow as the US prepares to release its report at the beginning of June. In March John Ratcliffe, Donald Trump's former intelligence director, said the disclosure would reveal that there have been “a lot more” sightings of UFOs than have been made public.     -Questions will always remain as all the footage is still classified as “unknown”   -The old saying seeing is believing. Until we see something and experience something for ourselves we can remain skeptical.   -Even with accurate and real footage from Government agencies, how do we know it's not been manipulated on some level?   -Secret Space Program - Michael Salla has a 6 book series outlining the history of classified space programs.   10.The United States Space Force (USSF) is the space service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, one of the eight U.S. uniformed services, and the world's first and currently only independent space force.   https://www.spaceforce.mil/   11.The USSF is a military service that organizes, trains, and equips space forces in order to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint force. USSF responsibilities include developing Guardians, acquiring military space systems, maturing the military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces to present to our Combatant Commands.    12.Why would the US need a space force?   Space has become essential to our security and prosperity – so much so that we need a branch of our military dedicated to its defense, just like we have branches of the military dedicated to protecting and securing the air, land, and sea. Unfettered access to space is vital to national defense. Space systems are woven into the fabric of our way of life. Space affects almost every part of our daily lives and is fundamental to our economic system. For example, satellites not only power the GPS technology that we use daily, but allow us to surf the web and call our friends, enable first responders to communicate with each other in times of crisis, time-stamp transactions in the world financial market, and even allow us to use credit cards at gas pumps.   13.Where is it located?   The USSF Headquarters and Office of the Chief of Space Operations is located in the Pentagon, just like the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.     Space Force Emblem:   “Two clusters of small stars represent the space assets developed, maintained, and operated by the U.S. Space Force.”   Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon.   The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars in the north-west of the constellation Taurus.    Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky. It is named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are blue-white Rigel and red Betelgeuse.    Description On a dark blue disc, between two constellations in white, a light blue globe grid-lined in silver surmounted by a silver delta both encircled diagonally by a white orbit ring, all beneath a white Northern star in the upper left portion of the disc and above the roman numerals “MMXIX” arching in white below. Encircling the disc is a dark blue designation band edged with an inner and outer border and between two deltas, the inscription “UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE” at top and “DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE” at bottom, all in white.     Symbolism Dark blue and white combine to represent the vast recesses of outer space.  The Delta Wing evokes historic ties to the earliest days of the U.S. Air Force space community, and symbolizes change and innovation. It also represents all variations of space vehicles that support our National Defense Strategy and National Security Space Strategy.  Dark and light shades of grey within the delta embody the 24/7 operations of the Space Force, while the placement and upward orientation of the delta reveals the central role of the Space Force in defending the space domain.  The Globe represents the terrestrial home of the U.S. Space Force and it's support to the joint warfighters.  The Elliptical Orbit [around the globe] signifies defense and protection from all adversaries and threats emanating from the space domain. It also represents ongoing interagency cooperation and allied partnerships.  The white Polaris symbolizes the guiding light of security and alludes to a constant presence and vigilance in space now and in the future.   Roman numerals MMXIX (2019) representing the year of activation.

It's May in Indianapolis, and that means the buzz of IndyCars are in the air. The Zipp factory, once in Speedway right next to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, is now a few miles north. But you can still hear the race cars here some days.   It's something today's guest notices when he walks into the Zipp office and factory. Simon Marshall is a Zipp manufacturing engineer who for years worked in motorsports. His experience illustrates the deep ties between Zipp and motorsports that go back to our founding in 1988 by a motorsports engineer, Leigh Sargent.   Simon, a native of England, worked as a chief car designer of Gil de Ferran's Indianapolis victory in 2003 and Buddy Rice's in 2004. He was also part of the highly innovative DeltaWing concept considered for Indy car. When he interviewed for his engineering job at Zipp, he noted just how tightly Zipp guarded its manufacturing methods. Once Marshall was on the inside of Zipp, he saw how processes had been established over many years and adapted to new products. He was used to motorsports, where a small group would create a chassis. At Zipp, because it's a factory producing thousands of wheels instead of a few specialized cars, the process had to be broken down into manageable chunks.

Andy Chats to Guy and Paul about his rise through the sport and how he was originally planning on becoming a professional footballer but turned his focus to car racing having taken a trip to Oulton Park. Andy has driven for British brands Bentley and Aston Martin and is only a handful of drivers that have raced the radical Delta Wing and he tells us what it was like to drive, Andy is also instrumental in the developing of British racing talent with his work for both the Motorsport UK academy and as director of the BRDC superstars.

Robert Stout is the 2017 Mazda MX5 Cup Rookie of the year, talkes about racing in that series, getting other people to pay for your racing and what they expect in return. Robert came down from Palm Desert, CA to Orange County to have lunch with me and be my first guest, so big thanks to him for kicking things off. He's one of those drivers who is a little under the radar, but if he continues on his current streak of success, that won't be the case for very long.

Harding Racing driver Gabby Chaves joins Marshall Pruett for the Week In IndyCar podcast to discuss recent testing, sponsorship pursuits, and how he's been able to help in the formation of the new Harding team before the two dive into listener Q&A that ranges from his desire to race at the Chili Bowl, feelings on losing his seat to Alexander Rossi, having Al Unser Jr as his driving coach, reflections on racing the DeltaWing, why he races under the Colombian and American flags, the driver he's afraid to ride with in a rental car, an more in our latest episode.

Joining John McElroy in studio to talk about all that and much more, is Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.

Peter Welch was just named the new president for the National Auto Dealers Association, and he’s got the resume to back up that decision. Automakers keep teasing us with sneak peeks of what they will unveil at next week’s Detroit auto show, but Nissan is taking a different approach by showing off its new global display stand. Chevy has a bunch of new products to roll out for 2013, and coming with them is a new ad slogan. All that and more, plus host John McElroy talks with Ben Bowlby, the creator and designer of the DeltaWing race car.

We'll also find out why Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, is excited for the DeltaWing concept to come to Le Mans. John McElroy is also joined in studio by AAH founding member Jason Vines.

After giving the Grand Poohbah a large serve Kimi is on the line feeling a bit depressed about a possible but most unlikely WRC drive in Finland. With the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend JP evaluates the tyre options. Roland spits again at PI. Stoner retiring spurs Rossi onwards at Le Mans. Allan is a dad after a very strange N24 finish. Briscoe on pole for Indy 500. F1 set to float but will it be a drama like Facebook. Brendan Reeves hits the Greek Rally Crisis. Uncle Don who owns most things wants Deltawing to race in ALMS ensuring International Pauly more gigs and gold. Jonny Ives gets a knighthood whilst Seagate is set to buy LacCie. Diablo 3 servers. Monte Calro attracts more drivers. Samsung sales and patent wars. IBM bans Siri. KettlePizza kits made for Weber BBQ.

Now that all the money is pouring in the door at RH thanks to the tireless efforts of the Queensland Office JP and Harty seem more relaxed than ever as they discuss the first day of qualifying at Le Mans where the DeltaWing continues to improve and amaze. Meanwhile over on the West Coast of America the Apple World Wide Developers Conference unfolds and with it the new Retina MacBook Pro along with Mountain Lion features and a look at iOS6. The Schu DNF saga. Ferrari cost concerns. The F1 Faux Pas hairpiece pipes up. Ghan to Darwin. Murphs future. Vale John Bagshaw.

Sans wine in hand International Pauly and Father of arrive for some Langhorne Creek liquid and explain whats right with LTE but wrong with governments despite his worldwide reign of the new again DeltaWing project.

At last the official Le Mans Test Day is upon us and it delivers a bunch of surprises with the new Toyota Hybrid performing very well and International Pauly gets his DeltaWing out on the track to show the world what it can do. Kimi upsets a few people here and there. T8 to lose Vodafone. Apple to unveil a raft of products at WWDC. Google Maps to be dumped in iOS and to be replaced by C3 technologies. Thunderbolt docks. Chicken Maryland. HTC falls out with Microsoft. Allan tops GT-AM with Aston Martin. Seb on Letterman. Wreck It Ralph. Vjay for iPad. All Things D to offer all SJ interviews for free. 3D maps for Earth.
