Lewis Hamilton has delivered his first Ferrari victory with a commanding win at the Spanish Grand Prix, while Toyota reclaimed glory in an epic Le Mans 24 Hours showdown. Inside Motor Sport breaks down a landmark weekend across two of racing's biggest stages.
ON TODAYS PROGRAM… THREE BRITS ON THE PODIUM…LCH TAKES THE WIN IN BARCA AND TOTO SAYS…MAYBE HIS GIRL FRIEND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!! LECLERC CONTINUES HIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL KIMI'S DNF SLOWS DOWN HIS MOMENTUM AND… SO SO SAD…FERNANDO DEAD LAST IN QUALI…THE FINAL CURTAIN! TOYOTA WINS LEMANS AND NICK DE VRIES GETS THE LAST LAUGH! CORVETTE WINS THE GT3 CLASS AND… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…AN INTERVIEW WITH MIKA SALO. MORE GREAT TRIVIA FROM ANDREW. George Russell Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton). He drove a really impressive race today after being incredibly quick in Qualifying yesterday. Coming into the weekend, I don't think we expected that pace from Ferrari, so we know we've got a challenge coming from them in the races ahead. We will be working hard to tackle that challenge and get back to winning ways. On my side, the race today was not straightforward. I was struggling with the tyres towards the end of my second and third stints; the Virtual Safety Car didn't help us either and it would have been a fascinating race with Lewis without that. I will take the positives from this weekend though. It has been clean from the very start and I come away with 18 points, which is 18 points more than I managed across Canada and Monaco! We will regroup in the week ahead and look to improve for Austria. We've got a big double-header coming up with Spielberg and Silverstone and I am already excited for it. Kimi Antonelli It is very disappointing to retire from P2, but these things can happen in racing. George suffered an issue in Canada and now it's happened to me; we know our reliability is something we need to work on and I am sure the team will be pushing incredibly hard to improve that. It's more important points that we've lost but we must remember that it is the first year of these new regulations and we are all learning quickly. Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton) on his victory today. He is a great driver and has been so much help in my career so far. I am pleased to see him up there once again as he really deserves it. I think we had the pace today to challenge him for the win, but the Virtual Safety Car came out at a bad time for us, and we didn't get to see how things would have played out. We have one week without racing before returning in Austria. We have seen our competitors take a step forward here this weekend and we will need to raise our game there if we want to fight for victory again. We will pick ourselves up, learn from this weekend, and come back stronger. MAX VERSTAPPEN - 4th "Today we just didn't have the pace to keep up with the cars ahead. I was really just doing my own race as we were a little bit behind the guys that finished in front of me. As a Team we did everything right, it was the winning strategy, so we made the right call there with the tyres. We were just too slow compared to the cars ahead on each compound, unfortunately. We tried our best and put everything into it but ultimately the whole weekend was a bit tough for us. We do struggle more with these high energy tracks with high degradation and we just need to work on things and try to find more pace in the upcoming races." ISACK HADJAR - 6th "I felt like I had good pace this weekend once we got to Qualifying and the race, but I had a shocker at the race start with so much wheelspin, so that's one aspect I really want to focus on before Red Bull Ring. We could have fought with Oscar if we had a good start, so it's a bit of a shame. I think we did way better than we thought we would this weekend given the track layout and conditions. Austria will be a better track for us, and we expect to have a stronger car. We just need to work on the starts." TOYOTA TAKE ITS SIXTH VICTORY AT LE MANS Toyota executed a perfect, textbook strategy throughout the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to claim its first victory since 2022, securing a sixth overall triumph and equalling the tally of British marque Bentley. To spectacular fanfare, Japanese powerhouse Toyota Racing lifted the iconic trophy at a sun-kissed Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time in four years, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators at the venue and millions more watching around the world. Drivers Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck de Vries and Mike Conway emerged as the team to beat at the end of the race, guiding the #7 Toyota to victory ahead of the sister #8 Toyota Racing entry, the #20 BMW M Team WRT and the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA machine in an epic four-way battle to the chequered flag – underlining the "Platinum Era" status that the Hypercar category is building. For Kobayashi, it was a second Le Mans victory. It marked a second triumph for British star Mike Conway and, for the first time in 38 years, a historic win for the Netherlands as Nyck de Vries became the latest Dutch driver to conquer Le Mans. It looked set to be another Toyota one-two, but BMW's never-say-die attitude ensured that the FIA World Endurance Championship points leaders – the #20 crew of Robin Frijns, René Rast and Sheldon van der Linde – claimed second overall and a valuable haul of championship points. Toyota could still be delighted with third place, although a few costly mistakes and strategy calls denied the #8 Toyota of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa another victory. Meanwhile, Cadillac can take plenty of plaudits once again. A crowd favourite throughout the week, the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA crew gave everything in pursuit of victory, and the pace they demonstrated at Le Mans suggests they will remain contenders for years to come. Inter Europol Competiton lock-out LMP2 It was a grandstand finish in LMP2 as Inter Europol Competition worked well overnight to bring both cars into the rostrum contention, but a second day charge from Forestier Racing by Panis had everyone on the edge of their seats, but after 24 hours of racing the Polish #43 ORECA with pilots Jakub Smiechowski, Tom Dillmann and Nicholas Yelloly win the penultimate race at Le Mans for this specification LMP2 car! Corvette charge back to the top! Corvette capture the magic of Le Mans once again with iconic yellow #33 Corvette run by TF Sport took LMGT3 laurels with Ben Keating, Jonny Edgar, Nicky Catsburg taking a popular leap onto the top step of the podium. Akkodis ASP Team put Lexus on the podium for the first time at Le Mans with the #78 car second and the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin joins in the celebrations in third.

Sind am Freitag die Weichen für die Zukunft gestellt worden? Bei den 24 Stunden von Le Mans gab es am trainingsfreien Tag viel zu reden: über die Anpassung von LMDh und Hypercars für die neuen Regeln, den Kalender fürs kommende Jahr, Wasserstoff als Zukunftsmusik – und ein paar ganz besondere Projekte von Peugeot. In diesem Podcast Eurer Lieblingszeitschrift PITWALK hört Ihr alles Wissenswerte von einem langen Tag voller News und Hintergründe – inklusive eines ausführlichen Interviews mit André Lotterer und einer Schalte hinein in die Hospitality von Peugeot. Dort wartete ein besonders prominenter Gesprächspartner auf Podcaster Norbert Ockenga: Alain Favey, der CEO der Marke Peugeot innerhalb des Stellantis-Konzerns. Also quasi der oberste Chef über alles, was Peugeot macht – im Motorsport, aber auch in Sachen Serienautos. Und Favey hat einige interessante Dinge zu erzählen, die über den Tellerrand des reinen Motorsports hinausgehen. Etwa zum neuen Peugeot 208 GTI, den man seit heute bestellen kann, aber auch zu neuen Kooperationen und dazu, wie eine Marke wie Peugeot Le Mans neben dem reinen Rennfahren sonst noch nutzt.

Die Diskussionen über die Einstufung einiger Fahrzeuge in der Ersten Liga und eine Disqualfikation prägen den Donnerstag in Le Mans. Die Startaufstellung steht seit dem Abend zwar, aber nicht ohne Kontroversen. In der neuen Ausgabe von PITCAST, dem Podcast der Zeitschrift PITWALK, fasst Norbert Ockenga die Zeitenjagd zusammen – und analysiert jenes strittige Thema, über das man im Fahrerlager eigentlich mit niemandem sprechen darf: die Balance of Performance. Die Recherche und die Quellen dahinter müssen geheim bleiben, denn Informanten drohen vom Veranstalter saftige Strafen. Sagen darf man dagegen: Es gibt auch in diesem Podcast wieder eine Live-Schalte hinein in die Box von Peugeot Sport, wo dieses Mal Malthe Jakobsen und Nick Cassidy als Gesprächspartner von Ockenga parat stehen.

La FIA Formula 2 Championship es mucho más que la antesala de la Fórmula 1. Detrás de cada carrera existe un enorme trabajo técnico, estratégico y humano que rara vez llega al público. En este episodio hablamos con Álvaro de Miguel, ingeniero de Fórmula 2 con experiencia internacional y participante en varias ediciones de las 24 Horas de Le Mans, para descubrir cómo se vive realmente el campeonato desde dentro de un equipo. Analizamos el nivel de igualdad existente en la Fórmula 2, dónde se generan las diferencias entre pilotos y equipos, la importancia de la consistencia para luchar por el campeonato y cómo se prepara un monoplaza con el limitado tiempo de trabajo disponible durante cada fin de semana. También profundizamos en el papel de los ingenieros, la gestión de datos, el análisis posterior a cada sesión y la presión constante que afrontan los pilotos que buscan llegar a la Fórmula 1. Una mirada a todo lo que ocurre fuera de las cámaras y que resulta fundamental para entender el rendimiento en pista. Además, repasamos cómo se afronta técnicamente una cita tan exigente como el Gran Premio de Mónaco, los desafíos logísticos del campeonato y los aspectos que más suelen infravalorar los aficionados cuando observan una carrera de Fórmula 2. Un episodio para comprender cómo funciona realmente la principal categoría de formación del automovilismo mundial y qué se necesita para dar el salto hacia la élite del motorsport. ️ Escucha el programa completo aquí: https://go.ivoox.com/rf/175328983
¿Sabías que la tecnología que usas cada mañana en tu coche fue probada antes bajo una tortura de 24 horas consecutivas? En este tercer episodio de "Código Motor", nos adentramos en la noche francesa para analizar por qué las 24 Horas de Le Mans no son solo la carrera de resistencia más dura del planeta, sino el acelerador de innovación técnica más brutal de la historia del automóvil. A través de un viaje cronológico de un siglo, desglosamos los grandes hitos de la ingeniería en La Sarthe y su transferencia directa a los vehículos de producción: desde los pioneros de 1923 y la invención de los frenos de disco por parte de Jaguar en los años 50, hasta la locura aerodinámica del Porsche 917 a 386 km/h. Analizamos el polémico éxito del motor turbodiésel de Audi, la llegada de los sistemas híbridos de eficiencia total y la "guerra de la luz" nocturna que nos trajo los faros LED y láser a las carreteras. Además, ponemos la lupa en el presente y futuro inmediato de la competición: la era Hypercar y la reconversión ecológica del campeonato mediante los nuevos combustibles sinteticos, diseñados para salvar el motor de combustión sin utilizar una sola gota de petróleo. Como bien dice el viejo lema del motor: "Racing improves the breed" (las carreras mejoran la especie).

Dreifachhammer in der Qualifikation von Le Mans: Sowohl der Vorjahressieger von Ferrari als auch die beiden Peugeot 9x8 sind bereits an der ersten Hürde gescheitert – und bestreiten nun am Donnerstagabend nicht die Hyperpole, in der die ersten 15 Startplätze vergeben werden. Stattdessen sichert sich ein Adeliger aus dem Hause derer von Habsburg in einem Alpine – einem Auto also, das bislang noch nie etwas gerissen hat und Ende des Jahres aus der WM ausscheiden wird – überraschend die Bestzeit vor zwei LMDh aus den USA: zwei Cadillac. Wie ist die Zeitenjagd am Mittwochabend verlaufen? Woran ist Sieger-Ferraristi Phil Hanson gescheitert? Das erörtert Podcaster Norbert Ockenga, der Chef der Zeitschrift PITWALK, in diesem PITCAST. Und bei einer weiteren Liveschalte in die Box von Peugeot Sport bezieht Peugeot-Teamchef Emmanuel Esnault in seiner Analyse ausgiebig Stellung zum Ausscheiden der beiden Löwen-Wagen.

For 24 straight hours every June, the world's greatest endurance race pushes drivers, machines, and engineers to their limits at Le Mans. For Michelin, it's more than a race, it's a proving ground for innovation, performance, and one of the most enduring brands in the world.This week, Jim welcomes Omer Waysman, Vice President of B2C Marketing for North America at Michelin. Founded in France in 1889, Michelin has grown into a global company with nearly $30 billion in annual revenue. While best known for its tires, Michelin's business extends far beyond the road, spanning brands including BFGoodrich and Uniroyal, the world-famous Michelin Guide, and innovations in fields ranging from aeronautics and healthcare to advanced materials and construction.Omer's career has taken him from France to South Carolina, where he now leads marketing, brand strategy, and go-to-market execution for Michelin in North America. Before Michelin, he held senior leadership roles at Danone and Microsoft, helping drive digital growth, e-commerce, and transformation initiatives around the world.Tune in for a conversation exploring one of marketing's most interesting challenges: how do you build trust, relevance, and long-term loyalty in a category where consumers only make a purchase every three to five years?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

White letters on a tire sidewall look like a small detail, but they carry decades of meaning. That bold ring of text became a calling card of 1960s and 1970s muscle cars, street racing, and the idea that performance should look like performance. We break down why the trend exploded, why it's showing up again in today's vintage and retro builds, and how branding and aesthetics can steer a tire choice just as much as the practical stuff. We also get specific about how white letter tires are actually made. Raised white lettering is built into the tire during manufacturing, using white rubber that's molded and cured with the rest of the sidewall for long-term durability. Painted white lettering is applied after the tire is cured, which opens the door for customization but usually demands more maintenance. From smart cleaning habits to avoiding harsh chemicals, we talk about what keeps letters bright, what makes them yellow, and the modern options like temporary decals or having a pro apply custom sidewall designs. Then we take a fun left turn through automotive history, from the Going-to-the-Sun Road and early road-trip culture to landmark moments tied to Healey, Porsche, Le Mans, and Ford's “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” era. We follow that with Houston driving destinations featuring hidden speakeasies, and wrap with Don's drive of the 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range, including range expectations, tech choices, weight, and what EV mileage testing really means on the road.

Dieses Mal muss es einfach klappen. Nach drei Jahren voller BoP-Missstände erwartet jeder, dass die 24 Stunden von Le Mans in diesem Jahr wieder spannend werden. Und die ersten beiden WM-Läufe vor dem Klassiker an der Sarthe lassen genau das auch erhoffen: Das Feld liegt so eng zusammen wie zuletzt zu den gewaltigen LMP1-Zeiten. PITWALK-Chef und Podcaster Norbert Ockenga ist in Le Mans vor Ort, war auch schon bei den WM-Läufen in Imola und Spa – und hat sich ein umfassendes Bild verschafft. In der ersten Folge der großen Podcastwoche aus Le Mans erörtert er die Besonderheiten zwischen Hypercars und LMDh – und geht bei einer Schalte live in die Box von Peugeot Sport der Frage nach dem Umgang mit den für 2026 neuen Reifen, den Unterschieden zwischen Qualifikation und Rennen sowie den Eigenheiten des Peugeot 9x8 auf den Grund. Als Gesprächspartner hat er dazu Emmanuel Esnault am Mikrofon – den Teamchef von Peugeot. Mehr zu den 24 Stunden von Le Mans, die dieses Jahr erstmals wieder echt das größte Wagenrennen seit Ben Hur werden könnten, lest Ihr auch in der aktuellen Ausgabe der Zeitschrift PITWALK: https://shop.pitwalk.de/magazin/127/ausgabe-84?c=6

In this “Evening With a Legend” episode, we interview Mark Raffauf, IMSA's Senior Director of Competition, tracing how IMSA's early relationship with the ACO grew from the 1970s through the creation of GTP, the split from FIA Group C's fuel-formula approach, and the IMSA-driven development that helped shape cars like the Porsche 962. Mark recounts 1980s GTP's manufacturer battles and behind-the-scenes antics, then explains the 1990s shift to World Sports Car, Ferrari's 333 SP, and how rule changes at Le Mans affected competitiveness. He details IMSA's organizational split that led to ALMS and Grand-Am, the rise of Daytona Prototypes, and today's cost-control challenges. The conversation culminates in a deep discussion of Balance of Performance, LMDh vs hypercar sustainability, lift-and-coast strategy, and the need for a common future platform beyond 2030, while emphasizing Le Mans as a global mega-event. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Mark Raffauf 02:20 Early IMSA and ACO Ties 04:25 Birth of GTP Rules; Group C vs GTP Debate 09:02 Porsche 956 to 962 Shift 11:26 Golden Era Grid Battles 17:45 Nineties Reset and WSC 20:39 Ferrari 333 SP Moment 23:44 Rule Drift and Audi's Rise 26:19 ALMS & Grand Am Split 30:23 Cost Control Lessons 32:43 How BOP Really Works 33:28 LMDh versus Hypercar Basics 37:56 Why One Rulebook Matters 43:32 "Lift and Coast" Energy Management Explained 46:33 Getting more Hypercars to IMSA 50:35 Endurance Racing As Events 54:58 Future Platform, 2030 and beyond 59:27 Final Thanks And Wrap Up ==================== 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: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram 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.

Rozsypka kompletna George'a Rusella - czy Brytyjczyk znajdzie jeszcze swój rytm? Ewidentnie został odstawiony na boczny tor. ADUO - o co z tym wszystkim chodzi i dlaczego Mercedes był najsprytniejszy? Najlepsze i najgorsze wspomnienia z Grand Prix Hiszpanii.

We're back to four wheels today as we welcome Jean-Éric Vergne to the studio. JEV, as he is known in the world of motorsport, has seen it all in a career that has spanned F1, Formula E and Le Mans to name but a few. He raced in 51 Grand Prix's as part of the Red Bull Racing family with Toro Rosso and is Formula E's only double world champion.Now JEV is not known for being reserved with his opinions; his character is built on a refreshing directness you don't get as much in sport these days. This comes through in a perfect balance of self-belief and honest reflection when assessing his time at Red Bull, coming to terms with decisions made out of your control, and re-building a career and image that got him back to the elite end of motorsport. This is a real look at life as a driver, behind the assumption I, and I'm sure many of you, have on the luxury of elite four wheel performance. We're delighted to welcome JEV to the Business of Sport.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: AirwallexThe intelligent financial platform for global businesseshttps://www.airwallex.com/uk/GeminiWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earthhttps://geminisports.ai/If you're interested in partnering with the show, please reach out to us atbos@20vc.com
Monako długo było takie jak co roku - świetne kwalifikacje i nudny wyścig. Jednak chaos na końcu powywracał klasyfikację końcową. Zmiany nie było na czele - znowu wygrał kapitalny Antonelli, który jako najmłodszy kierowca nie tylko wygrał na ulicach księstwa, ale zdobył wielkiego szlema. Zapraszamy do słuchania!P.S.Le Mans zaczyna się o 16:00, przepraszamy za zamieszanie!

The next two weeks are some of the best on the annual Motorsport calendar with the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 hours of Le Mans. For this episode of the Brief we have gone right back to season 1 (2018) to bring you a slice of an episode you may not have heard before - Tim Schenken. Tim is one of only a handful of Aussie’s to race Formula 1 at Monaco and he went on to race sportscars for Ferrari. Working with an emerging Ron Dennis and memories of Bernie Ecclestone, a then relatively new player in F1. Thinking he was being pranked when Enzo Ferrari asked to meet him and the priceless car he turned down the chance to own. Tim went on to have an incredible career working for the Governing Body in Australia then called CAMS and now Motorsport Australia. A respected Clerk of the Course at the Australian Grand Prix who has been awarded and OAM for his services and rightly inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Dre Harrison, Peter McLaren and Lewis Duncan come together to review the Italian Grand Prix.It was a dream weekend for Aprilia, who ticked off a heap of milestones including the all-time MotoGP Speed Record (229.3mph), a front-row lockout in qualifying, as well as their first home win at the Italian GP. With Pecco Bagnaia barely able to hang onto third in a photo finish with Ai Ogura while the factory team goes 1-2, was this the killer blow for the 2026 Championship?The weekend's other major story was a return to action for Marc Marquez after missing Le Mans and Catalunya with a broken metatarsal and shoulder surgery brought forward. He struggled to P7 in the Grand Prix, but was this weekend a positive one for the reigning Champion?Also included, the tricky weekend of Raul Fernandez and why a Sprint win alone may not be enough to save his MotoGP career, KTM's reliability concerns and Cal Crutchlow's shock return to the grid.

¡Benditos reglamentos! ¿Te imaginas entrar en un concesionario y salir con una máquina que, con apenas unos ajustes, podría ganar el Rally de Montecarlo o las 24 Horas de Le Mans? Hubo una época dorada en la que las marcas no fabricaban coches para venderlos, sino que los vendían simplemente para poder competir. En el video de hoy analizamos los "Homologation Specials", las piezas de ingeniería más salvajes y puras que jamás han pisado el asfalto público. ¿Qué es un Homologation Special? Para los que no estéis familiarizados con el lenguaje de la FIA, el concepto es sencillo pero fascinante. Para evitar que las marcas compitieran con prototipos espaciales que no tenían nada que ver con los modelos de producción, las federaciones imponían una norma: "Si quieres competir, debes fabricar una serie de unidades idénticas (ya fueran 200, 500 o 5.000) para que el público general pueda comprarlas". El resultado eran coches de carreras "domesticados" a la fuerza. Les ponían intermitentes, un claxon y unos asientos algo más cómodos para cumplir el expediente. No buscaban rentabilidad; de hecho, muchas marcas perdían dinero con cada unidad vendida. El único objetivo era levantar el trofeo el domingo. 10 Leyendas con matrícula -Lancia Stratos HF (1973): El primer coche nacido por y para los rallyes. Una cuña diseñada por Gandini con motor central Ferrari V6 donde el piloto va sentado de lado por lo estrecho de su habitáculo. -BMW 3.0 CSL (1973): El mítico "Batmóvil". Su kit aerodinámico era tan radical que el alerón trasero se entregaba en el maletero porque no era legal para circular en Alemania. -Lancia 037 (1982): El último guerrero de propulsión trasera que venció a la tracción total. Un coche de chasis tubular y fibra de vidrio que escondía una de las anécdotas más famosas de la picaresca italiana durante su inspección de homologación. -Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 (1984): Un engaño visual. Aunque parezca un 205, lleva motor central y tracción total. Una bestia del Grupo B del que solo se fabricaron 200 unidades, todas en el icónico gris Winchester. -Ford RS200 (1984): Diseñado por ingenieros de F1 y fabricado por expertos en fibra de vidrio. Ostentó durante 12 años el récord Guinness de aceleración. -BMW M3 E30 (1986): El coche de turismos más laureado. Cada panel de su carrocería fue modificado respecto al Serie 3 estándar solo para mejorar la aerodinámica en el DTM. Ford Sierra RS Cosworth (1986): Famoso por su alerón "cola de ballena", una pieza imprescindible para mantener el coche pegado al suelo a más de 200 km/h, pese a las reticencias de los directivos de Ford. -Lancia Delta HF Integrale (1987): El dominador absoluto del Grupo A. Sus abultadas aletas y el capó abombado no eran estética, eran necesidades mecánicas para ganar seis títulos consecutivos. -Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (1990): La respuesta brutalista al dominio de BMW. Su alerón ajustable era tan efectivo que obligó a la competencia a rediseñar sus propios túneles de viento. -Toyota GT-One (1998): El caso más extremo. Un prototipo de Le Mans puro con intermitentes que logró su homologación gracias a una interpretación muy creativa de las normas sobre el espacio del maletero. La evolución de las categorías Desde los años 50 con el Ferrari 250 GTO, pasando por la salvaje era del Grupo B en los 80, hasta la racionalización del Grupo A y los excesos de los GT1 de los 90, los reglamentos han moldeado la historia del automóvil. Lamentablemente, los Homologation Specials son hijos de un tiempo pasado. Hoy en día, los reglamentos permiten correr con "siluetas" o se basan en el BoP (Balance of Performance), donde la igualdad se busca mediante software y no mediante la ingeniería pura. Aquellos coches eran la pasión de los ingenieros ganándole la partida a los contables. Eran difíciles, caros de mantener y ruidosos, pero representan el vínculo más puro que ha existido jamás entre el mundo de la competición y el usuario de a pie. Si alguna vez tienes la oportunidad de ver uno de estos 10 elegidos, recuerda que no estás ante un simple coche, sino ante un trofeo de carreras con matrícula.

Le Mans: a deluge of fans, noise, expectation and, eventually, rainfall. An atmospheric round five of 2026 MotoGP produced a couple of landmarks and more shocks. Adam and Neil call Dave from the Media Centre in the Sarthe to rattle through some talking points.
For decades, the world saw Japanese cars as just efficient, economical daily commuters. Then the 1990s hit, and Japan unleashed a lineup of obsessively engineered racing monsters that completely stunned the established European and American giants. Backed by the limitless budgets of the nation's economic "bubble era," Japanese engineers were given the ultimate green light to overbuild their machines without worrying about the cost.From Subaru and Mitsubishi conquering unforgiving rally dirt, to Mazda's unbreakable rotary engine surviving Le Mans, and Nissan's R32 "Godzilla" destroying the Australian touring circuit—Japan didn't just show up to compete. They took over.Discover how these manufacturers stopped being seen as the "optimistic little brother," rewrote the racing rulebooks, and became the ultimate global benchmark.This episode is brought to you by QUO.
