Podcast appearances and mentions of ford gt40

Few cars capture the essence of American performance and racing heritage quite like the Ford GT. In his book Ford GT: How Ford Silenced the Critics, Humbled Ferrari, and Conquered Le Mans, author Preston Lerner takes readers on a thrilling deep dive into the history, engineering, and racing legacy of this iconic machine. From the groundbreaking GT40 that stunned the motorsport world in the 1960s to the modern GT's triumphant return to Le Mans in 2016, Preston masterfully weaves together the stories of the visionaries, drivers, and engineers who made it all possible. In this episode, Preston explores the book's most fascinating insights, discuss Ford's relentless pursuit of victory, and uncover what makes the GT one of the most legendary race cars of all time.  This episode was originally recorded in 2017 at International Motor Racing Research Center and has been remastered for this podcast. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 The Legacy of the Ford GT 01:07 Welcome and Speaker Introduction + Don Caps' Remarks 03:48 Preston Lerner Takes the Stage 04:55 The Birth of the Ford GT40 05:24 Ford's Racing Strategy 06:19 The Ferrari Negotiations 08:25 The GT40 Development 13:06 Challenges and Early Races 16:42 Shelby American's Involvement 21:45 The 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours 30:25 The Controversial Dead Heat Finish 35:05 Post-Race Reactions and Ford's Future Plans 36:22 The 1967 Season and Ferrari's Challenge the 330 P4 39:36 The Tragic Testing of the J-Car 40:53 The Mark IV's Triumph at Le Mans 1967 46:29 Ford's Exit and Legacy in Racing 47:45 Q&A Session and Closing Remarks ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family.

Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing.  Andrea Robertson, a woman who carved her name into Le Mans history. In 2011, Andrea became the last American woman (to date) to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans—and more impressively, the first to ever stand on the podium in the race's 100-year history. She and her late-husband, David Robertson, along with pro driver David Murry, took on the grueling challenge of Le Mans as privateers, fielding their iconic Ford GT40 against some of the biggest names in endurance racing. With grit, determination, and sheer passion, they defied the odds and made history on one of motorsport's biggest stages. How did they do it? What was it like to go wheel-to-wheel against factory-backed giants? And what does Andrea's success mean for the future of women in endurance racing? That's what we're here to find out.  ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Andrea Robertson: A Trailblazer in Le Mans History 01:45 The Journey Begins: From Drag Racing to Endurance Racing 03:09 The Big Leap: Preparing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans 04:25 Challenges and Triumphs: Competing as Privateers 05:53 Facing the Ultimate Challenge: The 24 Hours of Le Mans 11:50 The Final Push: Competing at Le Mans 22:38 Pit Lane Repairs and Adjustments; Overcoming Shifter Issues 24:38 Challenges of Racing as a Privateer 26:24 Navigating the Track and Competitors 28:44 Achieving a Podium Finish 36:01 Reflections on the Le Mans Experience 41:48 Closing Remarks and Future Plans ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ To learn more about or to become a member of the ACO USA, look no further than www.lemans.org, Click on English in the upper right corner and then click on the ACO members tab for Club Offers.

How did Ford build the GT in 18 months? Why did they create a new truck segment with the Raptor, and how has that thinking bled over to Land Rover? Jamal Hameedi is the answer. He is the Director of Special Vehicle Operations at Jaguar Land Rover and the reason Land Rover is debuting the fastest and most exciting Defender to date: the Octa. Before he joined JLR, he was the Chief Performance Engineer and head of SVT at Ford. It was under his eye that Ford made both generations of the Ford GT, decided to build the first Raptor, and launched numerous Shelby Mustangs. https://www.landroverusa.com/defender/defender-octa/index.html Recorded June 20, 2024 Head to FACTORMEALS.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month.

Today the Ford GT40 is one of the world's most iconic vehicles -- but this award winning automotive beast is, it turns out, the result of a serious grudge match. Join Ben, Noel and the gang as they delve into the strange, spiteful history of the Ford GT40 in today's Classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I denne episoden av Scoochpodden reiste vi til en eksepsjonell Ford-familie i Larvik. Etter sigende skulle det stå ikke bare en Ford GT40 i garasjen, men to! Far i huset Reidar opplevde motorsporten fra sidelinjen på den legendariske Hovlandbanen og der ble planen lagt. Her må det jobbes slik at man kan få tak i en bil med skikkelig motorsport-DNA, med andre ord en Ford! Det begynte bra men siktet lå høyere, kanskje en Lotus Cortina, eller hva med den tøffe silhuetten fra Fords Motorcraft forpakninger? Hva er egentlig det? Senere ble det både kone og barn og dermed var teamet klart for motorsport! Og etter nesten 20 år på banen møtte familien Lee Holman hos legendariske Holman & Moody i Charlotte. Og det viste seg at Lee kunne kurere selv den tøffeste kløe!

¿Te gustan los alerones? ¡Pues prepárate! Te hemos preparado una selección de coches con alerones muy bestias, enormes, descomunales… y muy eficaces. ¿Piensas que son una mera cuestión de marketing o de imagen? Pues está muy equivocado. 1. Chaparral 2E (1965). Jim Hall, creador de la marca Chaparral… era un genio y fue uno de los primeros en utilizar alerones en sus coches, en concreto en el 2E. Un alerón enorme y muy eficaz. Como curiosidad, con un pedal, el conductor podía moverlo para que en recta ofreciese menos resistencia al aire. Vamos, un DRS, nunca mejor dicho, “a pedal”. 2. Plymouth Superbird (1970). Un coche impresionante y adelantado a su tiempo. La “culpa” de ese alerón la tienen el ingeniero John Pointer que le dijeron que usase sus conocimientos sobre balística y aerodinámica en un coche. Dibujo un morro avión y le puso un alerón trasero de 60 centímetros de alto sobre la base de un Dodge Charger 500 de 1969. Y así nació el icónico Superbird de 1970 con su motor Hemi V8 de 425 CV. 3. Ford Sierra Cosworth (1986). Cuando en la redacción vimos las primeras fotos de este coche muchos dijeron: “No puede ser verdad”. Y lo fue. Stuart Turner definió el proyecto dentro del departamento de competición de Ford y encontró el apoyo de Walter Hayes, que había colaborado en el proyecto del Ford GT40 y era consciente de la importancia de la aerodinámica. Lo cierto es que además de ser una seña de identidad del coche, este alerón era muy eficaz. Según fuentes a 200 km/h este alerón proporcionaba entre 25 y 40 kilos de apoyo aerodinámico… que a este coche le venían muy bien. 4. Mercedes Benz 190E EVO II (1990). ¿Quién dice que los Mercedes son coches burgueses y discretos? Desde luego este EVO II no es ninguno de los dos coches. Y es que Mercedes quería ganar el DTM o Campeonato Alemán de Turismos… ¿lo conoces? Te recuerdo que hicimos un vídeo sobre este campeonato titulado: “Campeonato Alemán de Turismo: Fórmula 1 disfrazados”. No te lo pierdas. De este modelo con un pedazo de alerón impresionante solo se fabricaron 502 unidades… eran necesarias 500 para homologarlo… y ese alerón, en estas carreras, sí que era necesario. 5. Ford Escort Cosworth (1992). Este coche es más falso que el beso de Judas. Me explico: De Escort solo tenía la carrocería, el chasis era el del Ford Sierra Cosworth mejorado y aligerado. Pero lo cierto es que era un coche excepcional y de una eficacia increíble. Y en cuanto al alerón, su diseñador fue Lothar Pinske que lo puso muy alto para que fuese más eficaz. Acabó siendo un alerón biplano pero se estudió triplano… feo, feísimo. 6. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (2007). Cualquier Mitsu Evo podría estar aquí. Todos son míticos. He elegido el último, aunque el que más me gusta es el V que fue el primero que probé y que me impresionó. Pero he creído que el honor de estar en esta lista debía ser para el EVO X Final Edition con motor 2.0 turbo de 307 CV y 413 Nm. Un coche de rallye para ir por carretera que ya no te puedes comprar… una pena. 7. Jaguar XFR-S (2013). Voy a ser sincero: Me gustan los alerones, me gusta Jaguar y me gustan las berlinas deportivas… pero para mí, a este coche, el alerón, como decía mi madre, “le sienta como a un santo dos pistolas”. Por imagen de berlina premium, porque por potencia, nada menos que 550 CV extraídos de un V8 de 5 litros, le viene bien un alerón que le pegue al suelo. En realidad, los neumáticos 295/30 sobre llanta de 20 pulgadas ayudan mucho. 8. Dodge Viper ACR (2016). He elegido este modelo, que puede circular por la calle, porque no es solo un alerón, es el paquete aerodinámico completo el que resulta espectacular. El alerón es más grande que la mesa del salón de mi casa y proporcionaba un apoyo aerodinámico excepcional. Gracias a él y a todo la aerodinámica, este coche en su momento hizo el récord del Nurburgring en 7:01:3, un tiempazo todavía hoy. 9. Honda Civic Type R (2023). La verdad es que, comparado con otros alerones y otros coches de esta lista, este Civic es casi discreto. Y eso que este Type R que he tenido ocasión de probar más de una vez es casi un coche de carreras, con un bastidor muy bien puesto a punto y un motor 2.0 VTEC de 310 CV. 10. Subaru WRX STi (2024). ¡Menos mal que nos quedan marcas como Subaru para hacer coches distintos y prestacionales! Ha habido muchos Subaru con alerones impresionantes, como todos los destinados al Mundial de Rallyes. Y me gusta que la marca sigue manteniendo una versión deportiva y un alerón que,. Además de ser impresionante y de contar con 300 CV, es un modelo muy eficaz. Y da personalidad al coche. Eso sí, si eres de los que no te gusta llamar la atención… este no es tu coche.

2 companies, 2 friends, 1 car, 1 race, 24 hours, 50 business guys, 3 podcast hosts, one show. This episode we review Ford V Ferrari, a biopic starring the Ford GT40 as it navigates the famed 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. Christian Bale and Matt Damon are also in this movie and they act their pants off in this thing, no doubt about it. These fellas build a dang racecar that beats Ferrari in the most famous race in the world. How do they do it?? Well guess what they reenact the whole thing in this here movie and they did it so good it got 4 nominations in the Oscars.   In addition to the review, the GBGBs also bring back their ill-advised audio improv comedy segment.... Thanks for stopping by!

Hemos hecho varios podcast en los que hablamos de la apasionante historia de un coche extraordinario: El Ford GT40. Pero sí crees que lo hemos contado todo… es que no conoces la revista CEROaCIEN. Tras leer el extenso artículo dedicado al GT40 me pareció que este video era, sencillamente, IMPRESCINDIBLE. Además hay “Bonus-track” y sorpresa en el “Coche del día”. Confieso que me he divertido elaborando este guion como pocas veces lo hago. Y confieso que me ha costado quedarme en 10+1 curiosidades de este coche, algunas de las cuales, estoy seguro, te van a sorprender. Me gustan tanto que las tengo enmarcadas a la entrada de mi casa. Aunque tengo un problema: O amplio o cambio una, porque el Ford GT40 número 1 de esta entrega es bonito a rabiar… ya lo estáis viendo. Ford vs. Ferrari. Esta historia ya la conocéis y si no hay varios vídeos nuestros que la cuenta y tenéis la película “Contra lo imposible”, muy recomendable. Pero, por si hay “rezagados”, la voy a recordar en breve. Ford quería hacer coches deportivos pero vieron lo que tenían y pensaron que era mejor comprar una marca que ya hiciese coches deportivos que diseñarlos ellos mismos. Ferrari atravesaba un delicado momento económico y las piezas parecían encajar: Enzo se mostró interesado y comenzaron unas negociaciones que avanzaron rápido, porque todos sabemos que a Ferrari lo que le gustaban eran las carreras… bueno, más bien ganar carreras. Fue por esto que ahora lo contaremos, por lo que el acuerdo no se cerró. Y lo que pasó en esas negociaciones enfureció a Henry Ford II, nieto de Ford, que clamó venganza: Vencer a Ferrari en “su” casa, que eran las 24 horas de Le Mans. Desde 1960 Ferrari ganó 6 veces consecutivas Le Mans…y Ford quería acabar con esto… y lo consiguió. Esta historia la conoces, pero a ver si conoces lo que te vamos a contar. 1. Edsel, la semilla de GT40. El hijo de Henry Ford, del primigenio, se llamaba Edsel. Y “papá” más o menos dejó que su hijo diseñase un coche. Es una licencia narrativa, no fue exactamente así, pero el Edsel era una especie de homenaje a su hijo… y fue un rotundo fracaso. ¿Era o porque el coche era malo? La verdad, sí, pero no solo eso. En 1962 la economía de los EE.UU. de Norteamérica iba viento en popa. Los hijos del llamado “Baby Boom” fruto del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial eran mayorcitos y tenían dinero. Por primera vez era más importante el público joven que apreciaba el dinamismo, la deportividad y el rendimiento de los coches, que el público madura, que buscaba comodidad y fiabilidad, las dos virtudes claves de Ford. Y para salir de esta crisis decidieron que Ford necesitaba modelos deportivos… fruto de esta decisión nace primero el Ford Mustang y luego el GT40. 2. “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. Cuando Enzo Ferrari se dio cuenta de que Ford quería contralarlo todo, incluidas las carreras, se enfureció. Dijo que jamás vendería se empresa a una marca que “hace coches tan feos en una fábrica tan fea”. Y como colofón le envió un “mensajito” a Henry Ford II: “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. En ese momento un tema empresarial pasó a ser un tema personal. 3. Lola, la base. La marca Lola, de pequeño me encantaba porque me hacía gracia que una marca americana se llamase como la cantante más popular de España en esa época, Lola Flores (¡pon foto!). Pero Eric Broadley era bueno haciendo coches de carreras y diseñó el MK6, un diseño brillante, con potencial, pero en un equipo sin recursos. Ford tenía el problema opuesto: Tenía recursos, pero no tenía un buen diseño. Así que Ford se hizo cargo de este modelo, que acabó siendo la base del GT40. 4. ¡Con aire acondicionado! No olvidemos que el objetivo eran las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Y el cansancio del piloto podía influir mucho. Lo cierto es que el Lola era bueno como coche de carreras y muy bueno como sauna… ¡Era un horno! Y ¿Cómo lo solucionarlo? Pues con unas tomas de aire que desde el frontal del coche llevaba aire a los asientos, un aire que salía por los agujeros de la tapicería… muy ingenioso. Pero no fue la única idea ingeniosa… 5. Asiento fijo. Para reforzar el chasis decidieron que los asientos fueran fijos y formasen parte del chasis… . Y seguro que alguien dijo: “bien, buena idea, chicos, pero ¿y si un piloto es más bajito que otro? Pues en vez de mover el asiento, se movían los pedales y el volante adelante y hacia atrás. Otra idea ingeniosa. 6. Sin pruebas previas. La aventura de fabricar el GT40 arranca en 1963 y el 1 de abril de 1964 se acaba el primer prototipo. Diez días después el segundo. Y sin test previos de ningún tipo, porque había prisas, decidieron irse a Le Mans. ¿El resultado? Un accidente a 240 km/h en la recta de la Mulsanne y otro accidente menos grave. No hicieron caso de lo que decía mi madre “vísteme despacio que tengo prisa”. 7. Siete de siete. Tras revisar el coche de arriba abajo, decidieron volver a la acción en 1964 cuando el coche se mostró rápido… y muy frágil. Participaron con al menos dos coches en 7 carreras y rompieron… en las 7 carreras… El señor Henry Ford II se impacientaba. Por eso recurrieron a Carrol Shelby. 8. GT 40 descapotable. Descapotable… y diseño McLaren. Uno de los problemas del GT40 era su peso. El coche se diseñó desde el principio para ser robusto y fiable y en esa línea el chasis de tubos de acero estaba reforzado con planchas de acero. Todo muy rígido… y muy pesado. Howden Ganley, ingeniero de McLaren, desarrolló un chasis de aluminio que aligeraba considerablemente el peso del coche. Para decepción de McLaren este modelo sin techo fue entregado a “Shelby American” que condenó al modelo a coche de pruebas. 9. Comité Le Mans. Este es muy americano: Si quieres hacer algo en una empresa americana, lo primero es que hagas un comité. Y eso es lo que hizo Ford, crear el “Comité Le Mans” con representantes de todas las divisiones de Ford involucradas, desde “motor y fundición” a “Estilismo e ingeniería” sin olvidar “Piezas Generales” o “Motorsport”. A este comité se incorporó, como no podía ser de otra manera, a Shelby American y el equipo NASCAR de Ford, “Holman & Moody”. 10. Lamentable montaje. Esto que os voy a contar reconozco que no lo sabía. Cuando los Ford GT40 llegaron a las instalaciones de “Shelby American” los probaron y les pareció que iban horriblemente mal. El propio Ken Milles, el “prota” de la “peli” Contra lo imposible, estaba sorprendido: No entendía porque un diseño que parecía bueno iba tan mal.

Te traemos hoy un podcast muy especial sobre las carreras de resistencia y, más concretamente, las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Una competición que nos apasiona y de la que ya llevamos 9 ediciones en las que hemos retransmitido la carrera de manera íntegra con presencia en el Circuito de La Sarthe. En este podcast motor contamos con todo un experto en la materia. No es otro más que Diego Durruty nuestro compañero argentino alma mater de uno de las mejores web de Motorsport latinoamericana Automundo. Con él vamos a conocer las historias más apasionantes de Le Mans. Comenzaremos hablando de un terrible accidente ocurrido en 1955 y que costó la vida a casi 90 personas. Una tragedia que nos sirve para conocer como eran de peligrosas las carreras hace apenas unas décadas. Además contamos con la voz de Juan Manuel Fangio que nos cuenta como vio el el accidente desde el volante de su Mercedes con el que escapó de la muerte por apenas unos centímetros. Por otra parte Diego Durruty nos cuenta también la historia de uno de los coches más legendarios que han corrido en la carrera francesa. Hablamos del Ford GT 40, una máquina nacida del orgullo de Ford al que Enzo Ferrari no quiso vender la marca. Por ello los americanos decidieron formar una equipo para Le Mans con el que humillar a la marca del caballo rampante. Cerramos el podcast hablando de un piloto británico, aunque nacionalizado estadounidense, que por motivos más que sobradas están en el salón de la fama del motor del gigante norte americano. Hablamos de Ken Miles y de su carrera deportiva pero más concretamente de su paso por los mandos del Ford GT 40 y de como unas órdenes de equipo le privaron de tener un palmarés aun más amplio.

Hablamos de motos americanas míticas porque Planeta deAgostini ha lanzado una colección sobre ellas que nos ha gustado especialmente. Entra en el link https://bit.ly/GarageIndian porque tenemos una buena noticia: Planeta deAgostini ha lanzado un coleccionable de la espectacular Indian Springfield… ¡una verdadera maravilla! Si te suscribes con el código GARAGE podrás acceder a regalos exclusivos si te suscribes: Un juego de tres laminas, taza oficial, casco en miniatura y bolsa de regalo…. Hay marcas americanas de motos muy poco conocidas. Todo el mundo conoce Harley Davidson. Pero no son tan conocidas ni ATK, ni Buell, ni Rokon ni Victory, ni, probablemente, la marca americana de motos más antigua… que no es Harley, sino Indian… 1. Indian Single. (1904) En contra de los que muchos piensan, la primera moto americana fue una Indian, en concreto la Single… La marca nace en 1901 en Springfield (Massachusetts, EE.UU.). Este nombre, Springfield, es icónico para la marca… y hablaremos de él. 2. Harley Silent Grey Fellow. (1908) No es la primera Harley, pero si fue la primera con forma de moto más que de bicicleta con motor. El nombre se debe al poco ruido que hacía… ¡cómo han cambiado las cosas! Bueno, y por el color gris de su carrocería. 3. Indian Scout 101. (1928) Diseñada por Charles B. Franklin, quien también había diseñado la Scout inicial, la 101 tenía un nuevo chasis con una suspensión delantera por horquilla de paralelogramo deformable, una distancia entre ejes más larga y una altura de asiento más baja. 4. Harley Davidson FLH Duo-Glide. (1958) Las Harley comienzan a crecer, a engordar y a hacerse motos muy adecuadas para los largos viajes, como esta Duo-Glide del ’58. Su mayor novedad era que el motor Big Twin de 1,2 litros iba sobre tacos de goma y su basculante trasero contaba con una buena suspensión. 5. Rokon Trail-Breaker. (1960) La historia de Rokon es curiosa en todo, por ejemplo, en el hecho de que su fundadora fuese una mujer, Orla Larsen de Vermont, quien el 1958 decidió fabricar y vender una motocicleta de dos ruedas motrices, diseñada Charlie Fenom. 6. ATK 406. (1987) Seguimos en el off road, porque ATK fue fundada por el ingeniero austríaco, corredor de Motocross y medallista de oro ISDT, Horst Leitner. Se fue a los EE.UU. de Norteamérica y 1985 patentó un nuevo sistema de tracción para motocicletas que comercializó en kit. 7. Harley Davidson Fat Boy. (1991) Cualquier “Fat Boy” podía estar en esta lista, pero he elegido la moto de Terminator 2. En 1991, Arnold Schwarzenegger en la ficción un cyborg procedente del futuro llamado T-800. Para ello se sube a una Harley Davidson Fat Boy… 8. Buell Lightning XB9S. (2003) Buell Motorcycle fue fundada en 1983 en Wisconsin. Erik Buell, su fundador, era ingeniero de Harley-Davidson, pero no le gustaba como se hacían allí las cosas… y decidió crear su propia marca… muy estilo USA. Para comenzar ganó el campeonato AMA con la RW750. Pero en 1998, Harley compra la marca y en 2009 Buell deja de existir. 9. Victory Vision 8-Ball. (2010) Victory quiso vencer a Harley en su propio terreno, el de la Mega Cruiser grande, pesadas, rotundas… y produjo esta Vision 8-Ball. Cierto que no triunfó, pero coincidió con muchos expertos que dicen que, si alguna Victory es coleccionable, esta sería la mejor. 10. Indian Springfield. (2016) La primera moto de esta colección ha sido la Indian Single y ya os decíamos que el nombre Springfield era sagrado para la marca. Tanto que a una de las motos que pueden considerarse como la mejor de la marca, se la bautizo con este nombre, Springfield. Esta moto es muy especial, comenzando por su motor, que tiene nombre, como los grandes motores de la historia: Thunder Stroke 111… o sea “Golpe de Trueno” 111, que es la cilindrada en pulgadas, en cc es de 1.811. Para mí esta Springfield es más americana que la Coca Cola, pero eso sí, si te gustan las motos grandes, pero grandes, muy grandes, de casi 400 kilos y casi 3 metros de largo… Moto del día. Sin duda, para mí la moto del día debe ser Indian Springfield, porque… ¡puedes tener una! Planeta deAgostini ha lanzado un coleccionable de esta moto, al estilo del que vimos del Ford GT40 y el Bugatti Veyron, pero para mí es todavía mejor… ¿Por qué? Porque este kit tiene una parte mecánica que es una verdadera maravilla… y grande de verdad! Escala 1:4, casi 62 cm y 40 de alto… ¡dan ganas de subirse! La verdad es que me ha enganchado desde la primera entrega… Y no te pierdas los regalos exclusivos: Un juego de tres laminas, taza oficial, casco en miniatura y bolsa de regalo… los estáis viendo… En es texto descriptivo tienes los detalles.

We'll start off with this - if you're not on Instagram, join immediately, if for no other reason than to see the creations of this week's guest on the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ podcast, Abimelec Arellano. He's a conceptual automotive artist who constantly asks the question, “what if?” and his creations and mashups will make you rethink what you thought you liked. For instance, what if Dodge had built a Hellcat Charger back in 1969, what would it look like? Or how about a Ford GT40 with candy paint that's slammed on bags? Or maybe even still, a Pontiac Aztec that was given the same treatment as a 1977 Trans Am - would that intrigue you? If they don't, you're probably dead inside, but if they do, then you MUST visit is Instagram page because the scope of his work is nothing short of amazing.

Hello again Racing Ears,In this episode, Rick Knoop was kind enough to let me chat with his friend Peter Miles.  Peter Miles is the son of Ken Miles, who was heavily involved as a test driver, mechanic, and racing driver in the development of the Ford GT40 back in the mid 1960's.  The Ford GT40 won the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours, beating Ferrari for the first time.  Ken Miles won the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona, the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring, and was famously denied the win at the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours by a technicality.        The 2019 motion picture "Ford v Ferrari" starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale depicted the story of the friendship between Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles.It was truly an honor to be able to speak with Rick Knoop and Peter Miles.Thanks to Mark Siegel for letting me record his 1966 Ford GT40 Mark II at Thunder Hill  Raceway way back in July of 2016.  Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast.  #theracingearpodcast #petermiles#kenmiles#rickknoopracing#dannyongais#marksiegelfordgt40

Hoy te vamos a contar la historia de #Butatti, y para que la disfrutes en profundidad hemos llegado a un acuerdo con esta colección. Entra en el link http://bit.ly/Bugatti_Garaje porque tenemos una buena noticia: Planeta deAgostini ha lanzado un coleccionable del Bugatti Veyron Super Sport una verdadera maravilla. Si te suscribes antes de septiembre recibes regalos exclusivos. Puedes inscribirte con el código GARAJEHERMETICO El #Veyron fue el coche que reflotó la marca Bugatti. Ya sabéis que Ettore Bugatti venía de una familia de artistas y eso se nota en sus diseños. Cualquier motor Bugatti es como una joya, pero al mismo tiempo es una obra maestra de la ingeniería. Todavía hoy se considera que el coche de competición más exitoso de todos los tiempos es el Type 35. El Type 35 era tan bueno, era de una excelencia mecánica de tal magnitud que podía ganar un G.P. una prueba de resistencia, ir al casino o hacer un viaje. Algo irrepetible. En Molsheim, en un local que había sido una tintorería donde se funda en 1909 la marca Automóviles Ettore Bugatti bajo el lema era “Nada es demasiado hermoso, nada es demasiado costoso”. Bugatti soñaba con hacer los mejores coches del Mundo… y lo cierto es que hizo realidad su sueño. Este modelo, también conocido por Brescia, ya sentaba las bases de lo que iban a ser los Bugatti, fue una revolución por su ligereza, menos de 500 kg, y agilidad frente a los pesados coches de competición de esa época. Os doy un detalle: el cuatro cilindros de 1.5 litros llegó a ofrecer 50 CV gracias a sus 16 válvulas… un adelantado a su tiempo. Tras la primera guerra Mundial llega la era dorada de Bugatti gracia, sobre todo, a dos coches: El Bugatti Royale y el Type 30, dos de los coches más bonitos de la historia, técnicamente perfectos, verdaderas obras de arte. He añadido por mi parte otro de mis Bugatti favoritos, el Type 57S Atalante. Vale la pena detenerse en estos coches. Bugatti Type 30. (1922-1926) A día de hoy está considerado el coche de competición de mayor éxito en la historia con más de 2.000 victorias y podios contabilizados. Una verdadera pasada. El corazón de este coche era su motor de 8 cilindros en línea y dos litros, que en versión de calle daba 50 CV pero en versión de carreras llegaba y sobrepasaba los 100 CV. Bugatti Type 41 Royale. (1927-1933) Este coche quería ser superlativo en todo, el coche más grande, bello y lujoso jamás construido. Y lo consiguió. Os doy unos datos: 6,4 metros de largo, 4,3 metros de distancia entre ejes y más de 3 toneladas de peso… el lujo, pesa. Vale la pena detenerse en el motor un 8 cilindros en línea de 12.763 cm3. Para que os hagáis una idea el bloque motor media 1,5 metros de largo y más de 1 metro de alto y desarrollaba, no olvidemos que hablamos del año 1927, 300 CV. Bugatti Type 57S Atalante (1937) Aquí también te voy a dar una cifra de referencia: Hace menos de un años se subastó uno de estos coches y su precio alcanzó… los ¡seis millones de euros! Se dice que el Atalante fue un diseño de Jean, el hijo mayor de Bugatti, quien tenía uno negro apodado “La Voiture Noir” cuyo motor V8 de casi 3,5 litros daba más de 200 CV, frente a los 135 del coche de serie. Se fabricaron de todas las distintas versiones, que fueron muchas, unos 800, pero muy pocos han llegado hasta nuestros días. Ya hay quien ha ofrecido 100 millones si aparece el “Voiture Noir” original… Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport (2005-2012) Hay otras variantes de este Veyron, pero el 16.4 Super Sport es el que vuelve a poner a Bugatti en el mapa. Os doy dos datos: Tiene 1200 CV y supera los 400 km/h de velocidad... ¿te parece suficiente? Sino, el Chiron es más potente y rápido… pero no tiene la magia de ser el modelo que ha protagonizado el renacer de Bugatti. Y cumple las premisas de Bugatti: En muy bonito, más que bonito permitidme que me ponga “pijo”, es una belleza, y su motor en una joya que cuenta con 16 cilindros, dos 8 cilindros de V estrecha juntos, tiene cuatro turbos y 3 intercoolers. Como en el chiste, hay una noticia buena y una mala. Comencemos por la mala: No vas a encontrar un Veyron SS por menos de dos millones de euros. La buena, Planeta deAgostini te ofrece una replica perfecta a escala 1/8, en metal, con hasta los más mínimos detalles del exterior, como el alerón móvil, del interior y lo que es más importante, del motor. Ya sabéis que tengo debilidad por los modelos a escala y por Bugatti, así que ya he empezado. Y por cierto, cuando acabe de montar el Ford GT40 os lo enseñaré, es una verdadera pasada…

¡Qué ganas tenía de hacer este video! Por varios motivos, pero uno de ellos es que tengo una buena noticia. Como ya os conté en el video de “Conducir vs. Pilotar” me he enamorado de un Ford GT 40 a escala 1/8 que espero que ocupe un lugar en mis vitrinas… y os puedo adelantar que tenemos un acuerdo con Planeta De Agostini. Nos han dado un código promocional exclusivo para todos los garajistas que quieran suscribirse a la colección. Con el código conseguiréis regalos sorpresa en cada entrega del coleccionable. Para conseguirlo: - Entrad en: http://bit.ly/GarageHermetico - Utilizad el código: GARAJEHERMETICO al suscribiros La maqueta es una pasada, es exclusiva para esta colección, hecha bajo licencia de la propia Ford, a escala 1/8, de medio metro de largo, con carrocería de metal, con luces, sonido del motor que, por cierto está hecho al detalle y es igual que el original. ¡Ojo! también son interesantes los fascículos porque traen información histórica de como el Ford derrotó a Ferrari en Le Mans . Lo cierto es que me emociono con el Ford GT40 y con los 10 coches que he elegido. Ninguna categoría iguala a las 24 Horas de Le Mans como fábrica de coches míticos. Los biplazas puede que sean los coches de competición más bellos… y hemos elegido los mejores para ti. Me ha costado mucho quedarme solo con diez, hay más que merecerían estar aquí, pero estos son verdaderamente míticos 1. BENTLEY Speed Six (1929 y 1930). “El Camión más rápido del Mundo” 2. Alfa Romeo 8C 2.300 (1931 a 1934). “Póker de victorias” 3. Jaguar D Type (1955 a 1957). ¡Vaya frenos! 4. Ferrari 250 LM (1965). Pudo con el Ford GT40 5. Ford GT 40 (1966 a 1969). La venganza más cara de la historia. 6. Porsche 917 (1970 y 1971). La primera victoria de muchas 7. Alpine Renault A442B (1978). Tecnología Turbo F1 8. Porsche 956 (1982 a 1987). Sencillamente, imbatible 9. Mazda 787B (1991). El primer japonés… ¡y rotativo! 10. Audi R8 LMP (2000 a 2005). La era Audi… Coche del día. Como no podía ser de otra manera, es el Ford GT40… de escala 1/8

Os voy a contar como se me ha ocurrido este video: Ha llegado a mis manos una auténtica maravilla… ¡Un capó de Ford GT40! De momento solo tengo el capó y alguna pieza más, porque se trata de un coleccionable lanzado por Planeta DeAgostini. ¿Como conseguir esta magnífica colección? Muy fácil, solo tenéis que hacer clic en este enlace http://bit.ly/GarageHermetico que os dirigirá a la página web de Planeta DeAgostini, donde podéis haceros con esta increíble colección. Si sois fanáticos de los míticos coches de carreras esta colección es para vosotros. Para un aficionado hay pocas experiencias más gratificantes que conducir un coche de competición. Los que lo habéis hecho o lo hacéis, disfrutaréis reviviéndolo con este vídeo. Pero, si no lo habéis hecho, vais a disfrutar este vídeo… ¡Vamos a pilotar un coche de competición! En este vídeo hay muchas anécdotas… Porque este vídeo va de sensaciones y de emociones. Y es que si no has conducido o no has ido de copiloto en un coche de competición, un buen turismo preparado, con buenas suspensiones, frenos “gordos” y neumáticos slick, te digo una cosa: No sospechas lo rápido que se puede ir en un coche… Pensé como sería conducir ese coche y de ahí se me ocurrió hacer este vídeo. Pero también se me ocurrió otra cosa: ¿Y si convenzo a la editorial para que nos haga una oferta o tenga una consideración especial a todos los garajistas? Bueno, en ello estoy y si consigo algo, ya os lo diré. Hay muchos tipos de coches de competición, de circuito, rallyes o raid, monoplazas, biplazas, turismos preparados, sin olvidarme de los kart, que son verdaderas máquinas de competición. Pero por centrarnos siempre digo que hay dos tipos de coches de competición: Los que son diseñados y nacidos para la competición, cuyo máximo exponente es la F1, y los que son coches de calle preparados, como pueden ser los GT y los turismos. Por ser más asequibles, tanto por el nivel de conducción requerido, como por su precio, me voy a referir a los turismos de competición. Y os voy a subir a uno de ellos. Nos subimos y cuales son las primeras dificultades. En un coche de competición el piloto debe ir colocado lo más bajo posible y bien sujeto. Eso a veces complica la visibilidad, pero es un precio a pagar. Hay que arrancar el coche, tarea no tan sencilla como parece, porque los coches de competición, si son buenos, llevan un cambio de relación cerrada y un embargue cerámico. Y por fin llega el "momentazo", ese instante en que te sientes vivo, afortunado y muy, muy motivado… recorres lentamente la línea de boxes y cuando pasas la línea que te marca el final del límite de velocidad…. ¡a fondo! Lo que sucede a partir de ahí, te lo contamos en el vídeo. Coche del día: En esta ocasión voy a dedicar el video a todos los miembros del equipo EFICAR, con EFI a la cabeza, que tan bien me trataron en los que, de momento, han sido mis últimos años de carreras. Y el coche del día es el último coche que utilice con ellos, el Seat León Copa MKI. Ver vídeo: https://youtu.be/FJzMAqhuUsE

They’ll give you low down and the straight facts on what really happened in history and what is purely fantasy. Join the crew this week as they accelerate right into the real history behind the heart pumping thriller, Ford v. Ferrari. Learn whether the portrayed characters really existed and just how accurate the design of the vehicles used in the movie are. Did Ford really try to buy Ferrari? How fast did the Ford GT40 really go? What on earth is the “Le Mans” race and how does one win?

Ford v Ferrari (2019) James Mangold's Academy Award nominated film starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale about the Ford GT40 and the 66 Le Mans

En #GarajeHermético ya os mostramos los videos de la película de Le Mans 66 y las historias del Ford GT40 y Porsche 917. Y ahora le toca el turno al #Mazda787B, el primer #coche japonés en ganar las 24 horas de Le Mans. Y sigue siendo el único que lo ha hecho con motor rotativo tipo Wankell. Hoy, a petición popular, vamos a repasar la historia de uno de los modelos icónicos de la 24 Horas de Le Mans, el 787B… Es una marca que tiene una digamos que “historia de amor” con el motor Wankell, pues lleva fabricados más de dos millones de coches con ese motor… aunque desde 2012 no ofrece ningún modelo con motor rotativo, cosa que ha prometido solucionar en 2020… a ver si es verdad. En 1990 Mazda vivía un momento dulce con el motor rotativo y decide hacer un coche de competición del Grupo C, es decir, Sport Prototipo, clon este tipo de motor y lanza el 787. Gracias a su empeño y a una estrategia muy atrevida, consiguió vencer en Le Mans Puedes ver el vídeo de este podcast en: https://youtu.be/Ezcj0f0QwVQ

Here we go! ///// > ///// Today’s movie is FORD V FERRARI, the historical drama directed by James Mangold, and written for the screen by Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and Jason Keller. In the 1960s, Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) proposes to Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) that Ford should design a car to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a grueling race dominated year after year by the Ferrari company. After Ferrari rejects Ford’s offer to purchase their company, Lee reaches out to car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and an irascible driver named Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to defeat them on the track. No spoilers. America has a love/hate relationship with the automobile, carefully nurtured as a status symbol during the rise of the Ford Motor Company, then becoming a mainstay of rural and suburban life. Entire cities have been designed around the automobile, making their ownership, or at least their availability a necessity for many, and bringing pollution, rising gas prices, and gridlock traffic. Automobiles are tools like any other, but there is a subset of cars that make the transition from tools to toys, whether that’s the classic car clubs across the world, or the minor league racing circuit. FORD V FERRARI is a film about boys working on their toys, in this case, the incredible and innovative Ford GT40. Ford wasn’t the only company targeting Ferrari in that time period. At General Motors, John DeLorean was pushing the Pontiac LeMans and offering a GTO package, the first commercially available mainstream muscle car in the United States. In fact, the GTO signifier was inspired by the successful Ferrari 250 GTO. You can find out more about that particular car in FRAMING JOHN DELOREAN (Episode #648), along with a general look at the rise of the muscle car. Each character involved on the Ford team exemplifies the different types of boys and their toys. For Ford, played very arrogantly by Tracy Letts, this challenge was about pride in the once great Ford Motor Company, and after Ford fails to buy Ferrari, about wounded pride. For Iacocca, it’s about making a path for himself at Ford, and an episode in the often-contentious relationship with Ford II. For Shelby, the challenge is about the challenge itself, and his own wounded pride about failing to win at Le Mans before needing to retire. For Miles, it’s about the pride in being the best racer, and knowing cars better than anyone else. And for the supporting cast around them, it’s about dealing with all the emotions and fallout surrounding the entire journey, leaving metaphorical and literal wreckage in its wake. FORD V FERRARI borrows a great deal from classic racing movies. We’re introduced to the characters early on, laying the groundwork for each character, and for the corporate intrigue surrounding Ford’s attempt to buy his way into racing. Once the conflicts are established, not just between Ford and Ferrari, but also internally on the Ford team, we begin the journey to Le Mans ’66. The writing team plays a little fast and loose with the actual history, all crafted to make sure the viewer is firmly on the Ford side, and within the Ford team, firmly on the side of Shelby and Miles. Ferrari is made out to be arrogant enough to want to see them fail. The road to Le Mans 66 shows us not just the development of the Ford GT40, but also the development of the two lead characters. We learn a lot about Shelby and Miles, and their relationships outside of their obsession with cars. We also get a sneak peak into the absolutely ridiculous and childish corporate politics that get played, especially by boys playing with their toys, whether that’s a car, a division, a career, or an entire corporation. We want the team to win, even if it seems composed entirely of assholes. Even Shelby and Miles, played as good old boys from a forgotten era, can be assholes from time to time, which is contextually accurate, but also feels incredibly privileged, especially with how petty many characters act when that much money is at stake for what is ultimately a frivolous honor. Now, I may not like the characters in this film, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t played well. Christian Bale absolutely deserves the nomination for Best Actor in a Drama, turning in a full and consistent character performance from start to finish. He’s almost a perfect asshole at times, sometimes justifiably so, sometimes aggravatingly not. Damon’s portrayal of Shelby feels much smaller next to Bale’s performance, which is also reminiscent of the relationship between Shelby and Miles at the time. The supporting cast is above average, working to support either the team’s efforts or the individuals on the team. Miles’ relationship to his spouse Mollie (Caitriona Balfe) and his son Peter (Noah Jupe) provide a nice break from, or at least a reduction of, the testosterone of the other scenes. I do have some criticisms for the overall film. The film clocks in at two and a half hours, roughly cut up as a half-hour introduction, an hour to make it to Le Mans, about thirty minutes at Le Mans, and closing up afterwards. The film does a great job of managing the focus of Ford vs Ferrari, but doesn’t manage the character’s stories nearly as well. Aside from Miles, and maybe Shelby, every other character has very little development, either acting as a force of nature in Ford and Iacocca, or acting in reaction to Shelby and Miles. I feel like at least thirty minutes could be cut from the film, although I’m not entirely sure where. Taking out the extra scenes involving Miles would lessen Bale’s performance, and with Shelby narrating portions of the film, it’s hard to know where else to cut. While I was never bored by the film, I did get impatient waiting to get to the racing, then wondered how much was left at the end. FORD V FERRARI is an extensive look at the journey to Ford’s victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, focused on the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari, but also on the car that won the race, and the people who took that car to victory. Bale turns in an excellent performance, buoyed perhaps by scenes which might have pumped the brakes a little too much along the way. Muscle car and racing fans, or fans of films about cars, will definitely enjoy this film. Just allocate enough time to properly enjoy it. Rotten Tomatoes: 92% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 81 (MUST SEE) One Movie Punch: 8.0/10 FORD V FERRARI (2019) is rated PG-13 and is currently playing in theaters.

Most of the film surrounds the events leading up to France's illustrious 24 Hours of Le Mans auto racing event, mostly glossing over Ford losses in 1964 and 1965 as roads poorly chosen. We start with Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), a former elite racecar driver, the first American driver to win at Le Mans, who retires into designing racecars and coaching the next generation of elite racers after finding out he has heart disease. Considered a maverick by his contemporaries, his services are sought when the Ford Motor Company, who are attempting to brand their vehicles to younger people who want style and sex appeal in the cars they buy, planned to acquire the financially struggling Ferrari in 1963. Those plans fall through spectacularly, leaving both sides feeling insulted. Ford wants to show Ferrari, and the world, that they are more than just a company that can mass produce family vehicles. Shelby sets about building what would come to be known as the Ford GT40 model, trying to maximize power and minimize weight and drag to be the fastest racer on Earth. Christian Bale plays British racecar driver Ken Miles, sought by Shelby to help his test out his designs to give them a chance to come out on top in the grudge match between Ford and Ferrari. He's skilled at what he does, but Henry Ford II wants him replaced by someone less of a loose cannon and willing to tow the Ford line to the media. Ken's wife, Mollie (Caitriona Balfe), and his son, Peter (Noah Jupe), feel ambivalence about his quest to be the best. They want him to bring home the bacon, but they're also afraid that he'll be another casualty in the car racing arena who doesn't get out of his car in time. Shelby must weigh his friendship and knowledge that Miles is the best shot to win with the needs of his funders, who are only in it to promote their brand. James Mangold directs.

Ford v Ferrari (titled Le Mans '66 in the UK and other territories) is a 2019 American sports drama film directed by James Mangold, and written by Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and Jason Keller. It stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale, with Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, Noah Jupe, Remo Girone, and Ray McKinnon in supporting roles. The plot follows an eccentric, determined team of American engineers and designers, led by automotive visionary Carroll Shelby and his British driver, Ken Miles, who are dispatched by Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca with the mission of building the Ford GT40, a new racing car with the potential to finally defeat the perennially dominant Ferrari racing team at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. In early stages of the film's production, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were cast in the starring roles, but those plans fell through. Mangold was then hired in February 2018, and Damon, Bale, and the rest of the cast joined that summer. Filming began in July 2018 in California and lasted a little over two months. Ford v Ferrari had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on November 15 by 20th Century Fox. The film received positive reviews from critics, who lauded the performances and racing sequences. -------------------- FOLLOW US -------------------- NADIA SAWALHA & FAMILY https://www.instagram.com/nadiasawalhaandfamily.com http://www.twitter.com/nadiasawalha For more movie news follow: POPCORN JUNKIES: https://www.instagram.com/thepopcornjunkies ----------------------------------- BUSINESS ENQUIRIES ------------------------------------ For business enquiries contact: michelle@doghouse-media.co.uk --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/popcorn-junkies/message

On this special episode of the “Autoweek Podcast,” the Autoweek gang jumps headfirst into the biggest racing movie of the year, Ford v Ferrari. Kicking off the episode, Mike Pryson and Wesley Wren talk with current Ford Performance Motorsports director Mark Rushbrook about the Ford GT’s return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016. They also talk about how exciting a movie like this must be for current Ford Motorsports endeavors. Following the Rushbrook interview, the guys sit down with Mose Nowland: the man behind the 1966 Ford GT40’s engines. Nowland talks about the 1966 race, his experience developing engines for Ford and his life in general. He also tells a tale of flying out shortly before Le Mans to Holman-Moody and Shelby America to resolve some oil leaks. After the interviews, Mark Vaughn and Wes Raynal join Wren to talk about the topic at hand: Ford v Ferrari. Mark screened the film a few weeks ago and guides us through what he liked and didn’t like about the movie. Ultimately, the consensus is that it’s good for the whole family: racing fan or not. Closing the show, Matt Damon and Christian Bale sit down with Mark Vaughn for a short interview. Music: “well, at least I’m not vaping” by Summerbruise

Robert Nagle is a Hollywood star. But he's unheralded except for industry insiders who know his stuntman and engineering talents. Name a movie with the hard-to-fathom automotive scenes and Nagle problem was part of it. Nagle's current project is the soon-to-be-released movie Ford v Ferrari, and he's our guest on Episode #105 of The Weekly Driver Podcast. Matt Damon and Christian Bale star in the racing movie Ford v Ferrari. In 2015, Nagle was awarded an Academy Technical Achievement Award (with Allan Padelford). The honor was presented for the self-propelled, high-performance, drivable camera and vehicle platform dubbed "The Biscuit Jr.”). The platform was named after a similar giant rig put on mechanical horses on to film the actors up close in the movie Sea Biscuit. The vehicle was also used in the movie Aviator. Tragedy struck when the platform was lost in a fire. Biscuit Jr., was made a few years later. And it's an integral part of Ford v Ferrari. The movie, which premiered at the recent Toronto Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival, is scheduled for nationwide release November 15.   The movis stars Christian Bale as British-born driving icon Ken Miles and Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby, the visionary car builder. They're dispatched by Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca, then an executive with Ford, with the mission of building the Ford GT40, a new car with the potential to finally defeat the perennially dominant Ferrari. Shelby and Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their individual demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford and challenge Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. During our podcast, Nagle discusses working with Damon and Bale and training the actors to a skill level above what they'll need to for the movie. Nagle also discusses his long tenure in filmmaking and gives us behind-the-scenes insight into working with famous actors, the art of his craft and revisits his long career.

The Ford GT40 was the car that beat Ferrari in the1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Four decades after that win, the company resurrected the storied machine with an all new Ford GT to commemorate Ford's 100th anniversary. Chris Theodore was Ford’s VP of Product Engineering during this time and the man in charge of designing an all-new car that captured the spirit of the original. Here he recounts the fascinating story behind the Ford GT. If it wasn’t for Zora Duntov, the Chevrolet Corvette may have been just a footnote in GM’s history. But immediately after joining GM in 1953,  Duntov pushed a series of changes through the GM bureaucracy that made the Corvette a legitimate sports car. Jerry Burton, author of "Zora Arkus-Duntov—The Man Behind Corvette", explains how Duntov’s forceful personality was an instrument of good, and sometimes bad. Listen to longer audio podcasts of both extraordinary stories: Ford GT and Chevrolet Corvette.

Lance is from South Africa and he grew up working with his dad at his dealership and salvage yard. When he grew up, he took over part of the business and spent years growing it. Eventually, he decided to make the move to America and attempted to continue with the auto salvage business. He came over on a holiday visa and quickly discovered how hard it is to become an American citizen. After 3 rejections, he was able to finally make it legal and he and his family got their citizenship. Along the way, he started in North Carolina, then Abilene (in Texas), then went to San Bernadino. After many failed attempts, a friend convinced him to become a dealer for the Superformance cars in southern California. Being that Superformance is located in South Africa and Lance having dealership experience, this was a logical fit so they went with it! Superformance provides a “Turn Key Minus” vehicle which consists of a body with suspension and a rear diff. The EPA allows this because it only contains 1 of the 3 components required to be considered a car (the other two being the engine and transmission). This allows for customers to choose whatever engine and transmission they want to complete their car and make it their own. After a long legal battle, Superformance became the only manufacture that is licensed by Shelby to create the cars. They have also expanded to offer different models recently including a modern Ford GT40 and a special edition Bondurant car. Lance purchased Superformance USA back in 2007 with the goal of creating more cars and expanding the business. While the Cobra is still the biggest seller, he is pushing development and production to continue to grow the business. They have leveraged the expertise of Kahn Media to take on the task of marketing their company. This has helped raise awareness of their brand and bring in new customers.
