El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant
¿Por qué CHINA odia las CARRERAS de coches?

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué el mercado automovilístico más grande del mundo parece vivir de espaldas a la competición? China fabrica y vende cerca de 30 millones de coches anuales, domina el sector eléctrico y la producción mundial de baterías, pero su presencia histórica en la Fórmula 1, las 24 Horas de Le Mans o el Mundial de Rallyes ha sido prácticamente nula. En este vídeo destapamos el gran misterio del automovilismo en China y analizamos por qué sus marcas no aplican la clásica receta de "ganar el domingo para vender el lunes". Para entender esta desconexión, hay que remontarse a los inicios. Las carreras en China no nacieron de la afición popular o la rebeldía individual, sino que fueron importadas. Desde el histórico Gran Premio de Macao en 1954, pasando por el Circuito de Zhuhai en 1996, hasta la faraónica construcción del Circuito de Shanghái en 2004. Estas infraestructuras respondían más al deseo estatal de proyectar una imagen de hipermodernidad al exterior que a una demanda real de los conductores locales. A nivel sociológico, la barrera es inmensa. Mientras en Occidente la pasión por el motor es generacional, en la China de los años 70 y 80 la propiedad privada de un coche era casi un concepto de ciencia ficción; el medio de transporte nacional era la bicicleta. A esto se le suma la política del hijo único, que convertía el destinar los ahorros familiares a un deporte peligroso y económicamente ruinoso en un tabú inaceptable. Si añadimos el altísimo coste del suelo urbano, construir circuitos de karts para fomentar una cantera desde la base es hoy un suicidio financiero. Pero el mayor obstáculo para los jóvenes apasionados del motor es burocrático: el temido código 1087. Esta estricta ley castiga severamente las modificaciones vehiculares. Instalar suspensiones deportivas o cambiar un tubo de escape supone la inmovilización inmediata del vehículo. Esto obliga a los pocos entusiastas a vivir en la clandestinidad, haciendo imposible la creación de una masa crítica de pilotos amateur. En el ámbito corporativo, la ausencia de las todopoderosas marcas chinas en las competiciones tradicionales se debe a un pragmatismo absoluto. Su expansión global ha coincidido de pleno con la era del vehículo eléctrico y el software. A un gigante de la automoción moderna no le interesa gastar fortunas en el automovilismo de combustión para demostrar su fiabilidad; prefieren invertir esos recursos en abaratar y mejorar sus coches de calle. Aun así, cuando encuentran un escaparate mediático rentable, rompen sus propias reglas. Han demostrado la dureza de sus todoterrenos en el Rally Dakar con marcas como Chery y Great Wall; han revolucionado los rallyes nacionales con el híbrido BYD Qin; y han dejado clara su superioridad en la era de los electrones al ganar la temporada inaugural de la Fórmula E con NIO. En circuitos de asfalto, la marca Lynk & Co (del grupo Geely) rompió los esquemas al dominar el Campeonato Mundial de Turismos (WTCR). A nivel de pilotos, la gran excepción que ha logrado derribar este inmenso muro asiático es Zhou Guanyu, quien tuvo que emigrar a Europa desde niño para medirse en el karting occidental y finalmente hacer historia en 2022 como el primer piloto chino oficial a tiempo completo en la Fórmula 1. Aunque cuentan con dinero y recursos infinitos, hoy por hoy la competición no forma parte del ADN de la cultura automotriz china. Para sus mandatarios y corporaciones, la palabra perder no existe.

Send us Fan MailBaku did what Baku does. In Episode 206, Cheese and Greeny break down a chaotic 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix that ended with the closest finish Formula 1 has seen since Indianapolis in 2002.George Russell took pole by eight tenths, built a ten-second lead, and then watched two safety cars take the whole thing away from him. He held off Max Verstappen over the final thirteen laps to win by 0.196 seconds. Verstappen, who started eighth on a fresh power unit, took Driver of the Day for the charge that fell just short.Then there is the lap-30 restart, where four cars ended their afternoons in one corner. Franco Colapinto locked up trying to pass his own teammate Pierre Gasly, hit him, and Gasly collected Lando Norris. Racing Bulls teammates Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson tangled trying to avoid it. Colapinto has since been given a ten-second penalty, converted to a five-place grid drop in Malaysia, with the stewards saying he entered the corner at a speed that did not allow him to make it in a controlled manner.Elsewhere: Isack Hadjar took his first career podium in his first race back after six weeks injured. Kimi Antonelli crashed in Q1, started sixteenth, finished fifth, and extended his championship lead to 66 points. Oscar Piastri ran second and finished fourteenth. And Aston Martin recorded their fourth double DNF of the season.Plus in the news: Christian Horner calls Ferrari his dream job and says it is the only team he would join without an equity stake. Lando Norris is reportedly ruled out of Le Mans in 2027 despite McLaren solving the calendar clash. And Esteban Ocon has no seat for 2027, with an F3 champion carrying up to €20 million in sponsorship set to take his place at Haas.And in the Greenybucks Gambling Ledger, the lead changes hands for the first time this season.Support the show

PARIS CENTRAL - PSG PODCAST
Le PSG s'arrête… ses joueurs, jamais !

Le PSG est officiellement en trêve internationale. Mais peut-on vraiment parler de pause lorsque dix-neuf joueurs du Paris Saint-Germain quittent le club pour rejoindre leur sélection et continuer à enchaîner les matchs, les déplacements et les minutes ? Paris ne rejouera pas en club avant le 10 octobre. Sur le papier, cela ressemble donc à une période idéale pour récupérer après un début de saison déjà intense. Dans la réalité, une grosse partie de l'effectif de Luis Enrique ne va quasiment pas s'arrêter. Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué et Maghnes Akliouche rejoignent l'équipe de France de Zinédine Zidane. Et les Bleus ne vont pas disputer un ou deux matchs. Ils en ont quatre au programme. La Turquie, la Belgique, l'Italie puis de nouveau la Belgique. Même situation pour Vitinha, João Neves et Nuno Mendes avec le Portugal. La Seleção doit affronter le Pays de Galles, la Norvège, le Danemark puis une nouvelle fois la Norvège. Quatre rencontres internationales dans une fenêtre qui porte pourtant le nom de trêve. Fabián Ruiz et Ferran Torres sont eux aussi concernés par quatre matchs avec l'Espagne. Illia Zabarnyi en possède quatre avec l'Ukraine. Achraf Hakimi va rejoindre le Maroc pour les éliminatoires de la CAN 2027 contre le Gabon et le Lesotho, avant un match amical contre le Ghana. Marquinhos part avec le Brésil pour trois rencontres amicales. Willian Pacho doit traverser le monde avec l'Équateur pour affronter la Corée du Sud puis le Japon. Matvey Safonov rejoint la Russie. Senny Mayulu part avec les Espoirs français. Même plusieurs jeunes du centre de formation sont appelés dans leurs différentes sélections. Voilà pourquoi cette trêve pose une vraie question au PSG. Qui va réellement se reposer ? Évidemment, tous les internationaux ne joueront pas l'intégralité de chaque rencontre. Certains resteront sur le banc. Les sélectionneurs effectueront des rotations. Et les joueurs restés à Paris pourront bénéficier d'un véritable travail de récupération. Mais pour les cadres les plus importants, la situation est différente. Dembélé est important avec les Bleus. Vitinha, João Neves et Nuno Mendes le sont avec le Portugal. Hakimi est un joueur majeur du Maroc. Marquinhos reste le capitaine du PSG et un cadre du Brésil. Pacho traverse plusieurs fuseaux horaires. Chaque sélection possède ses propres objectifs. Aucun sélectionneur national ne construit son équipe en pensant d'abord au calendrier du Paris Saint-Germain. Et c'est précisément là que se situe le problème pour Luis Enrique. Parce que le calendrier du PSG après la trêve est loin d'être tranquille. Paris retrouve d'abord Le Mans en Ligue 1 le 10 octobre. Quatre jours plus tard arrive un déplacement extrêmement important sur le terrain de Manchester City en Ligue des champions. Trois jours après City, Paris se déplace à Strasbourg. Et seulement trois jours plus tard, le FC Barcelone arrive au Parc des Princes en Ligue des champions. Le Mans. Manchester City. Strasbourg. Barcelone. Quatre matchs en onze jours. Et plusieurs joueurs auront disputé leur dernier match international seulement quelques jours avant le retour du championnat. La gestion physique va donc devenir un véritable enjeu. Qui Luis Enrique devra-t-il faire souffler contre Le Mans ? Peut-il réellement aligner tous ses cadres quatre jours avant Manchester City ? Faudra-t-il davantage faire confiance aux jeunes ? Et surtout, dans quel état reviendront les joueurs qui auront accumulé les déplacements les plus importants ? C'est l'un des grands paradoxes du football moderne. Les clubs disposent de trêves internationales. Les joueurs, eux, disposent surtout d'un autre calendrier. On enlève le maillot du PSG. On prend l'avion. On enfile celui de sa sélection. On joue parfois trois ou quatre rencontres. Puis on reprend l'avion et on revient immédiatement préparer le prochain match de club. Pour Paris, cette fenêtre internationale peut donc être une opportunité pour certains joueurs. Mais pour une grande partie de l'équipe titulaire, ce n'est certainement pas quinze jours de vacances. Et avec Manchester City puis Barcelone qui arrivent rapidement derrière, la véritable question n'est peut-être pas de savoir comment le PSG va profiter de cette trêve. C'est de savoir combien de ses joueurs vont réellement pouvoir souffler. Le PSG s'arrête. Ses joueurs, beaucoup moins. Alors pour vous : cette trêve internationale fait-elle du bien à Paris, ou risque-t-elle au contraire de fatiguer encore davantage l'effectif avant une séquence capitale ?

The youngest son of three-time Formula One World Champion Sir Jack Brabham, David's path into racing was far from inevitable. In fact, he didn't discover the sport until he was 17 years old.Drawing on his experiences of competing at the sharpest edge of human and machine performance, David shares what racing has taught him about focus, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and making good decisions under pressure. From driving at more than 200 mph through the night at Le Mans to building high-performing teams in business, he reveals the mindset that helped him achieve one of motorsport's greatest prizes.The conversation explores the importance of preparation, managing energy, creating the right team culture, and understanding that success is rarely about individual talent alone. David also reflects on why winning the Le Mans 24 Hours ultimately taught him that the journey matters far more than the trophy itself.You will learn: What it takes to stay focused during a 24-hour endurance raceThe mental techniques used to maintain concentration under extreme pressureWhy sleep, fitness, nutrition, and mindset all contribute to peak performanceHow creating the right team environment leads to better decisions and resultsWhy mistakes and setbacks often contain the greatest opportunities for growthKey Quote"It wasn't about the trophy. It was about the journey. The people you met, the people you worked with, the people who inspired you. That's what made standing on that podium meaningful." Find out more about David Brabham on his website or Instagram Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.Connect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeHost: Sue Stockdale Producer: Sue Stockdale   Sound Editor: Matias De Ezcurra

This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I'm taking you along on something pretty special—a docent tour of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and a chance to hear the stories behind some of the most extraordinary automobiles on the field. We start with the spectacular Dubonnet Xenia, a car that looks futuristic today despite being created nearly 90 years ago, before moving to one of America's most famous classics—the incredible Duesenberg "Twenty Grand." From there, things only get better. We explore the wild 1938 Phantom Corsair, take a closer look at the fascinating engineering of Tatra, and spend some time with one of the most beautiful and valuable automobiles ever created—the Bugatti Atlantic. Then there are the Alfa Romeo B.A.T. cars, a trio of aerodynamic experiments that still look like concept cars from the future more than seven decades after they were created. And Pebble Beach isn't only about prewar classics. We finish with a Le Mans-winning Toyota race car, demonstrating just how broad the definition of automotive greatness has become on the Pebble Beach lawn. It's automotive history, design, engineering, racing and some of the greatest cars ever created—all in one episode. A huge thank you to Broad Arrow Auctions, presenting sponsor of The Collector Car Podcast, for their continued support of the show and the collector car hobby.

Vamos un tema apasionante y que siempre genera debate: los coches más míticos de la historia. Si reunimos a cien aficionados, obtendremos cien listas distintas, pero en este repaso no nos guiamos solo por gustos personales. Vamos a hablar de verdaderos hitos y progresos tecnológicos; modelos que, de no haber existido, habrían hecho que la industria automotriz actual fuera completamente irreconocible. Recorramos el siglo XX y el XXI para descubrir a los 20 culpables de esta evolución: 1. Ford Model T (1908): Democratizó el automóvil con la cadena de montaje. El coche dejó de ser un capricho aristócrata para estar al alcance de las masas. 2. Bugatti Type 35 (1924): El purasangre. Definió el coche de carreras como algo ligero, equilibrado y bellísimo, ganando más de 1.000 competiciones. 3. Volkswagen Beetle (1938): Símbolo de supervivencia y libertad en la posguerra. Su motor trasero refrigerado por aire lo hizo casi eterno y motorizó a medio mundo. 4. Jeep Willys (1941): El soldado infatigable que ayudó a ganar la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el padre absoluto del concepto todoterreno (4x4). 5. Citroën DS (1955): Llegado del futuro. Su suspensión hidroneumática y frenos de disco supusieron un salto cuántico en seguridad y confort que la industria tardó décadas en igualar. 6. Fiat 500 (1957): El milagro italiano del diseño minimalista. En apenas 3 metros de largo permitió que familias enteras se desplazaran, creando el coche urbano moderno. 7. Mini (1959): Aprovechó el espacio al máximo con su motor transversal y tracción delantera, el esquema que utiliza hoy el 90% de los compactos del mundo. 8. Jaguar E-Type (1961): El Gran Turismo por excelencia. Un deportivo hermosísimo y avanzado que aterrorizó a Ferrari por costar solo una fracción de su precio. 9. Porsche 911 (1963): La evolución contra la lógica. Más de 60 años perfeccionando su motor trasero para ser el deportivo más polivalente y leal a su esencia de la historia. 10. Ford Mustang (1964): El primer "Pony Car". Vendió un millón de unidades rápidamente al inventar el segmento de deportivos asequibles, definiendo a toda una generación. 11. Ford GT40 (1964): La venganza americana. Diseñado con el único objetivo de humillar a Ferrari en Le Mans, introduciendo la telemetría y la aerodinámica avanzada. 12. Lamborghini Miura (1966): El nacimiento del superdeportivo. Introdujo el V12 central bajo una carrocería de Marcello Gandini que es pura irracionalidad y belleza. 13. Range Rover (1970): Cambió el paradigma del todoterreno rudo sumando motor V8 y suspensión de muelles. Podías cruzar un desierto con el confort de un salón de lujo. 14. Lancia Stratos (1973): Revolucionó los rallyes al ser el primer coche diseñado desde cero y exclusivamente para ganar el Mundial. 15. Volkswagen Golf GTI (1976): El deportivo del pueblo. Permitió tener prestaciones de competición en el mismo coche que usabas para ir al supermercado. 16. Audi Quattro (1980): La tracción total dejaba de ser solo para camiones. Audi demostró que cuatro ruedas empujando son mejores que dos, cambiando las reglas de seguridad activa. 17. Ferrari F40 (1987): El legado puro de Enzo Ferrari. Sin ayudas electrónicas, un V8 biturbo salvaje donde el piloto era el único protagonista frente a la máquina. 18. Mazda MX-5 Miata (1989): Aplicó la fiabilidad japonesa al descapotable ligero europeo. Hoy sigue siendo el roadster más vendido del mundo por su pura diversión al volante. 19. McLaren F1 (1992): La perfección analógica de Gordon Murray. Asiento central y motor V12 recubierto de oro para ser el coche de producción más rápido durante una década. 20. Toyota Prius (1997): El primer híbrido de masas. Anunció el fin de la era del petróleo puro y demostró que la electrificación era el inevitable futuro de la industria. Elegir solo veinte modelos es intentar resumir más de un siglo de ingenio humano. Cada uno de estos vehículos rompió una regla, abrió un camino o salvó a su empresa. Son, en definitiva, las piedras angulares de nuestra cultura del automóvil, y los coches que conducimos hoy son como son gracias a ellos.

Esme Buxton didn't come up through motorsport — she came up through fashion, shooting editorials and film sets, until a headshoot with F1 presenter Laura Winter turned into a question she couldn't shake: why doesn't a proper fashion-and-culture magazine for F1 exist? So she built it. In under 18 months, The Paddock Journal went from a Substack to millions of monthly views and a sold-out print annual — all shot by an all-female team inside the paddock. We get into the rise of print in a digital sport, the "two ecosystems" pulling F1 in different directions, whether the paddock is becoming too elitist (and why Le Mans might be the real racing fan's race), the Atelier, staying independent while the big brands circle, and her advice for anyone waiting for permission to start: stop asking for the playbook.

Break out the cowboy hat, fire up the Trans Am and tell somebody we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there, because Smokey and the Bandit just came roaring back into The Rizzuto Show.Sean and Jason — the men bringing Sheriff Buford T. Justice and Junior Justice back to life — join us in studio to tell one of those stories that starts with people dressing up as beloved movie characters at car shows and somehow ends with cameras rolling on an actual television series.And yes, Sean enters the studio in full Buford T. Justice mode with a lit cigarette.Nobody was going to tell the sheriff no.The guys explain how their Eastbound and Down tribute work eventually led them to Sedalia, Missouri, where they realized the town had exactly the right look for the world they wanted to recreate. Enter Larry Parham, a former police officer who apparently possesses the supernatural ability to make anything happen. Location scouting? Done. Production help? Done. Playing the mayor? Sure, why not. They call him the Wishmaster, which is both an incredible nickname and the exact person every production desperately needs.Jason also reveals the extremely reasonable fact that he owns six Trans Ams.Six.Somewhere, a bald eagle just shed a single tear.The conversation digs into how Jason initially wondered why grown men were dressing like Smokey and the Bandit characters before realizing how much joy and nostalgia the tribute brought people. Fans remember their old Trans Ams. Law-enforcement officers remember being inspired by Buford. Others simply get transported back to watching the movie with their families. What started as reenacting became something much bigger.Then Sean drops one of the coolest stories in the entire episode: he spent a week around Burt Reynolds at a film festival in Valdosta, Georgia, shortly before Reynolds died.Sean remembers hearing Burt tell stories repeatedly throughout the week — except every time he told one, another little detail might appear. Nobody cared that they'd already heard it. It's Burt Reynolds. You sit down and listen.Naturally, that launches this daily comedy into stories about Burt Reynolds being one of the coolest human beings ever assembled, including the legendary tales where Burt wasn't necessarily the hero. And weirdly, that's part of what makes the stories even better.Then we get into Sheriff Justice: The Series itself.The project explores Buford and Junior before the events of Smokey and the Bandit, while working hard to preserve what made Jackie Gleason and Mike Henry's original characters memorable. Sean and Jason talk about respecting those performances rather than turning them into parody, and about receiving support from the families connected to Gleason and Henry.That's a pretty significant stamp of approval when you're stepping into characters people have loved for nearly 50 years.The production is also taking the period details seriously.We're talking vintage cars. Real old-school Detroit steel. Casting calls for vehicles from the era. The evolution toward Buford's iconic Pontiac LeMans. And, naturally, Trans Ams — including Jason's car with Burt Reynolds' autograph on the sun visor.At this point Moon is approximately three minutes away from asking whether he can legally marry a 1977 Trans Am.The guys even get deep into obscure Smokey and the Bandit car trivia, including details involving the original LeMans and its paint. This is where casual fans politely nod while the hardcore fans begin screaming at their radios because THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.Sean and Jason also tease Easter eggs that longtime fans should watch for, explain how production has pushed through some absolutely brutal Missouri heat — including a reported 123-degree heat index during a 14-hour filming day — and discuss finishing the pilot before moving deeper into production.And then Rafe asks the only question that really matters:When do WE get to be in it?Because apparently simply interviewing actors isn't enough anymore. Now The Rizzuto Show would like acting credits.The possibility of coming down to Sedalia as extras quickly becomes the possibility of a speaking role, and suddenly we're discussing SAG cards, Diablo sandwiches and Dr Pepper like this is already a signed contract. Moon, meanwhile, volunteers to “babysit” the Trans Am, which sounds suspiciously like grand theft auto with better manners.The episode also includes an incredible encounter with Paul Williams, who played Little Enos in the original movie. Sean and Jason describe meeting him at a convention, where Williams saw them dressed as Buford and Junior, lit up and immediately slipped right back into character — like everyone had been transported straight back to the original set.Then comes one of the greatest “I've made it” moments imaginable.Sean looks over during production and sees someone dressed exactly like him.His stunt double.That's when this whole crazy journey becomes real: you've gone from tribute appearances and car shows to standing on an actual set while another human being dresses like you because what they're about to do is apparently too dangerous for your insurance policy.This episode is a love letter to Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Mike Henry, outrageous cars, practical stunt work and a style of movie comedy that still connects with audiences decades later. It's nostalgia without treating the originals like museum pieces — and the story of a couple of guys whose passion project somehow grew into something much larger.It's also another daily comedy episode where Rafe's childhood obsession may have accidentally resulted in the entire show getting acting work.If this works, we're never going to hear the end of it.So grab a Diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, fire up the Trans Am and enjoy some daily comedy with Sean, Jason and The Rizzuto Show.We'll see you eastbound and down.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

AC Cobra: ¿El PRIMER “HÍBRIDO” de la historia?

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Para tranquilidad de los más puristas, no vamos a hablar de silenciosos coches eléctricos ni de eficientes y pesadas baterías. Quizás el AC Cobra sea el mejor "híbrido" que jamás haya visto la industria del automóvil. Fue una de las ideas más magistrales, salvajes y revolucionarias de todos los tiempos. Este mítico vehículo es el resultado de la brillante visión de Carroll Shelby, quien decidió cruzar la agilidad y ligereza extrema de un delicado chasis británico con la fuerza bruta y el empuje de un motor V8 norteamericano, reuniendo lo mejor de dos mundos diametralmente opuestos en un solo coche de ensueño. El cerebro detrás de este imponente deportivo pertenecía a uno de los hombres más astutos, irreverentes y testarudos de la historia del automovilismo: Carroll Hall Shelby. Nacido en 1923 en Leesburg, una pequeña y polvorienta localidad del estado de Texas, Shelby estaba muy lejos del clásico estereotipo de ingeniero de guante blanco o de aristócrata europeo que competía apoyado en una gran fortuna. Era un humilde criador de pollos que se arruinó de la noche a la mañana cuando una feroz epidemia de la enfermedad de Newcastle aniquiló todas sus aves. Esa asfixiante ruina económica, combinada con su enorme pasión por la velocidad, lo empujó a las carreras bastante tarde. Su leyenda se forjó cuando, al llegar con retraso a su primera competición, tuvo que correr al volante con su sucio peto a rayas típico de granjero tejano. Ganó con una superioridad tan insultante que convirtió ese peculiar mono de trabajo en su seña de identidad inconfundible. Su carrera como piloto alcanzó el máximo nivel de gloria en 1959. A los mandos de un Aston Martin DBR1 oficial y haciendo equipo con Roy Salvadori, Shelby logró la victoria absoluta en las durísimas 24 Horas de Le Mans. Lo que casi nadie del público sabía era que corrió aquella prueba de resistencia francesa sufriendo una severa angina de pecho, obligándose a llevar fuertes pastillas de nitroglicerina bajo la lengua para evitar sufrir un infarto mortal a más de 250 kilómetros por hora. Shelby era consciente de que los coches americanos poseían motores V8 fiables y con un par demoledor, pero estaban montados en chasis de acero pesadísimos con suspensiones blandas. Por su parte, los europeos fabricaban chasis de aluminio ágiles y soñados, pero con motores enormemente complejos y frágiles. Para lograr su "híbrido", contactó con AC Cars en Inglaterra, una pequeña fábrica artesanal que estaba al borde del colapso. Producían el AC Ace, un precioso y diminuto roadster inspirado en el Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta. Al quedarse sin los veteranos motores que les suministraba Bristol, aceptaron a la desesperada enviar sus chasis a Shelby para que él les acoplara una mecánica. Tras recibir un duro portazo de General Motors, que no iba a dar motores a un rival de su Corvette, Shelby convenció a un joven Lee Iacocca en Ford. La marca ansiaba desesperadamente una imagen deportiva y le cedió a crédito su innovador y ligero motor V8 de 260 pulgadas cúbicas. El milagro se obró en Los Ángeles en 1962: en un taller y en apenas ocho horas de trabajo ininterrumpido, acoplaron el enorme corazón de Ford en el frágil chasis británico, dando vida al primer prototipo, el CSX2000. Estando completamente arruinado para iniciar la producción en masa, Shelby ideó una genial estafa de marketing: pintó ese único y solitario coche de distintos colores, como amarillo, rojo y azul, para prestárselo a la prensa de la época. Creó así la falsa ilusión de tener una enorme flota saliendo de su fábrica y las reservas llovieron, salvando la empresa. El AC Cobra 260 pesaba apenas 1000 kilos y devoraba el 0 a 100 km/h en poco más de 4 segundos. Pronto llegó el bloque de 289 pulgadas cúbicas, creando el modelo más equilibrado de toda la saga. Sin embargo, su frontal casi plano como un ladrillo chocaba contra un muro de aire en la larguísima recta de Le Mans. Negándose a perder, Shelby encargó al diseñador Peter Brock carrozar ese chasis. Nació así el extravagante y aerodinámico Shelby Daytona Coupe de cola truncada, con el que finalmente derrotaron a los intocables Ferrari 250 GTO en el Campeonato Mundial de GT. Pero el tejano nunca tenía suficiente. En 1965 obligó a rediseñar todo el chasis, haciéndolo mucho más robusto con modernos amortiguadores, para introducir el gigantesco y pesado motor V8 de 7.0 litros derivado de la NASCAR. Había nacido el AC Cobra 427, un monstruo indomable de más de 425 caballos de fuerza.

In this episode of Evening with a Legend, we interview American endurance racer Charles Mendez about his two 24 Hours of Le Mans starts—1980 with Racing Associates in a Porsche 935 and 1981 with WM in a Peugeot P79/80—set against his broader Sebring 12 Hours legacy. Mendez recounts how promoting Sebring led to opportunities in a 935, meeting Le Mans organizers, and bringing cars overseas with little European experience. He shares first impressions of Le Mans, the realities of privateer racing, lessons from a rain-soaked 1980 retirement, and how friends helped connect him with WM for 1981 testing at Paul Ricard. Mendez details the Peugeot's quirks, high-speed Mulsanne challenges, mechanical issues during the race, why he stopped owning race cars, and his advice to young drivers: never give up and don't get cocky. The conversation also covers safety-driven track changes, today's endurance racing, Le Mans Classic, and Mendez's current life and mentoring interests. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Charles Mendez 01:49 The Road to Le Mans 1980 04:19 First Impressions of Le Mans 07:14 Speed on the Mulsanne 09:34 Privateer Life at Le Mans 10:49 Lessons from 1980 11:46 Switch to WM Peugeot 14:26 Paul Ricard Test Culture Shock 16:13 Driving the Peugeot P79/80 21:07 1981 Race Challenges 25:24 Why He Didn't Return and What He'd Do Differently? 27:31 Advice for Young Drivers 28:43 How Le Mans Has Evolved 33:36 Le Mans Classic and 935s 35:56 Life After Racing 38:33 Thanks and Farewell ==================== 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.

Some love it, some hate it. You're probably doing at least part of it wrong, even if you're good at it. Twenty years ago, INTC co-host Ross Bentley was a beta tester for the original version of iRacing, the world's largest online racing sim. Today, he's logged thousands of hours of sim coaching for “real" race drivers both pro and amateur. And he's learned a lot along the way.This started as a simple 101-level chat between Sam and Ross about sim technique. By the end of the show, they'd gone down the rabbit hole with everything from stupid dad jokes to how people learn and Ross's experience using sims to coach a rank amateur onto the podium at a real-life Le Mans.“Bah!” you say. “I like real cars!

Vamos a abrir la caja de Pandora de la industria del automóvil para descubrir diez rivalidades históricas donde “volaron los cuchillos”: 1. Henry Ford vs. Los Hermanos Dodge John y Horace Dodge fabricaban motores para el Ford T y poseían el 10% de las acciones. La guerra estalló cuando Henry Ford dejó de pagar dividendos para asfixiar económicamente a los hermanos, sabiendo que querían fundar su propia marca. Los Dodge demandaron a Ford, ganaron 19 millones de dólares en 1919 y usaron ese dinero para crear a uno de los mayores rivales históricos de Ford. 2. Louis Renault vs. André Citroën La guerra de la Torre Eiffel. Renault era un ingeniero huraño; Citroën, un genio del marketing que llegó a iluminar la Torre Eiffel con su nombre. La batalla fue tecnológica y financiera. Citroën se arruinó desarrollando la tracción delantera solo para dejar obsoletos a los coches de Renault. Cuando Citroën quebró en 1934, Louis Renault celebró la caída de su mayor enemigo. 3. W.O. Bentley vs. Rolls-Royce Cuando la marca deportiva Bentley quebró en 1931, el fabricante Napier planeaba comprarla. Aterrorizados por la competencia, desde Rolls-Royce enviaron a un agente secreto disfrazado de comprador anónimo para pujar más alto en el último segundo. Compraron Bentley solo para neutralizarla, convirtiendo sus coches en "Rolls-Royce con otra parrilla" durante décadas. 4. Soichiro Honda vs. el Gobierno de Japón En los años 60, el todopoderoso ministerio japonés MITI quería prohibir a Honda fabricar coches para consolidar el mercado en solo tres grandes marcas. Soichiro Honda se enfrentó a los burócratas a gritos y aceleró el lanzamiento de su deportivo S500 antes de que la ley entrara en vigor, salvando la existencia de su marca con pura rebeldía. 5. Smokey Yunick vs. El reglamento de la NASCAR Conocido como el "mejor mecánico de la historia", Yunick no rompía el reglamento: leía lo que no estaba escrito. Instalaba tubos de combustible gigantes para burlar la capacidad de los depósitos o creaba carrocerías a escala reducida para mejorar la aerodinámica, volviendo locos a los comisarios de carrera. 6. Carroll Shelby vs. Alejandro de Tomaso Ambos intentaron crear juntos el coche de carreras P70, pero sus egos chocaron. Shelby canceló el proyecto brutalmente. De Tomaso, humillado, tomó el chasis descartado, le añadió una carrocería de Giugiaro y lo bautizó como De Tomaso Mangusta. El nombre fue una venganza directa: la mangosta es el único animal capaz de matar a una cobra (en referencia al Shelby Cobra). 7. Ferdinand Piëch vs. Mercedes-Benz Cuando Mercedes lanzó el Clase A, invadiendo el territorio de Volkswagen, Ferdinand Piëch lo tomó como una declaración de guerra. En respuesta, ordenó crear el Volkswagen Phaeton para atacar al Mercedes Clase S. Impuso parámetros de ingeniería casi imposibles, logrando una vendetta técnica que humilló temporalmente a sus rivales de Stuttgart. 8. John DeLorean vs. La Gerencia de General Motors DeLorean odiaba las restricciones de los directivos, que prohibían motores de más de 330 pulgadas cúbicas en coches medianos. Encontró un vacío legal y lanzó el enorme motor de 6.4 litros no como un coche nuevo, sino como un "paquete opcional" del Pontiac Tempest. Así nació el mítico GTO y la era de los Muscle Cars. 9. Henrik Fisker vs. Elon Musk Tesla contrató al diseñador Henrik Fisker para perfilar el Model S. Poco después, Musk lo acusó de hacer un trabajo mediocre a propósito y de robar secretos para lanzar el Fisker Karma. Aunque Fisker ganó la batalla legal inicial y sacó su coche antes, los fallos técnicos hundieron su proyecto, dejando a Musk como vencedor a largo plazo de una guerra llena de odio. 10. Toyota vs. Las 24 Horas de Le Mans Una rivalidad contra el mismísimo destino. Durante décadas, Toyota sufrió averías inexplicables y fallos de última hora liderando Le Mans. La maldición culminó en 2016, cuando su coche se paró a solo tres minutos del final por un conector roto. Tras años de lágrimas, Toyota rompió el maleficio y comenzó una racha de victorias imparable. Conclusión Detrás de cada logotipo cromado hay una historia humana llena de envidia y pasión. Queda claro que, a veces, el odio es el mejor combustible para el progreso.

La Fórmula 1 regresa esta semana en Spa-Francorchamps, y eso siempre debería ser una buena noticia. El Gran Premio de Bélgica llega en uno de los circuitos más esperados del calendario, pero también en un momento en el que la categoría todavía intenta convencer al aficionado de que los coches de 2026 pueden ofrecer carreras reconocibles en los grandes escenarios. Y ese será tan sólo el primer tema a tratar en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Spa será una prueba exigente. La recta de Kemmel, las zonas de alta velocidad y la longitud del trazado pondrán bajo la lupa el despliegue eléctrico de las nuevas unidades de potencia. La pregunta es evidente: ¿veremos una carrera fluida o volverán a aparecer de forma demasiado visible el clipping y el superclipping? La Fórmula 1 viene de varios fines de semana en los que los equipos han ido aprendiendo a gestionar mejor la energía. Los adelantamientos ya no dependen siempre de una diferencia brutal de potencia disponible, y algunos duelos han empezado a tener más lectura táctica. Pero Spa es otra cosa. Si hay un circuito capaz de desnudar las virtudes y defectos de esta generación de coches, es éste. Pero el fin de semana no será sólo Fórmula 1. El Mundial de Rallies llega a Estonia, una de las pruebas más rápidas y espectaculares del calendario. Es un rally muy distinto al Acrópolis: menos supervivencia pura sobre piedra y calor, más velocidad, confianza, saltos y precisión a altísima velocidad. Estonia suele premiar a los pilotos capaces de atacar sin perder limpieza. Las pistas rápidas exigen mucha seguridad en el coche, notas perfectas y una capacidad enorme para mantener ritmo sin cometer errores. En ese contexto, la figura de Sébastien Ogier vuelve a aparecer como una de las grandes claves. Ogier sigue intentando una remontada que parecía improbable hace no tanto. Cada rally que disputa altera el equilibrio del campeonato, porque no corre simplemente para estar: corre para ganar. Estonia, por sus características, no será una prueba sencilla para él, pero su estado de forma obliga a tomarlo siempre en serio. Toyota, Hyundai y M-Sport llegan con desafíos distintos. Toyota tiene estructura, profundidad y pilotos capaces de marcar diferencias. Hyundai necesita mantener la solidez mostrada recientemente y convertir ritmo en resultados. M-Sport, por su parte, buscará aprovechar un rally donde la confianza puede abrir oportunidades si los favoritos fallan. Estonia no es una prueba cómoda para nadie, y menos para quienes todavía están construyendo experiencia en rallies tan rápidos. Terminar, aprender y evitar errores graves puede ser tan importante como buscar un resultado brillante. La tercera cita del fin de semana, en Nashville. Y es que este fin de semana tendremos la IndyCar en un superspeedway trioval rapidísimo. El Nashville Superspeedway tiene 1,33 millas, superficie de hormigón, forma de D y 14 grados de peralte. La carrera será de 300 vueltas y casi 400 millas, un formato donde la estrategia, el tráfico y las neutralizaciones pueden cambiarlo todo. En un óvalo así, la IndyCar suele vivir en el filo. La velocidad es constante, los márgenes son mínimos y cualquier error puede provocar una cadena de consecuencias. Para Alex Palou, cada carrera en óvalo es una oportunidad de seguir protegiendo su ventaja en el campeonato, pero también un terreno donde los rivales pueden recortar si la prueba se vuelve imprevisible. Lo que vimos el pasado fin de semana. El fin de semana llega, además, con el eco reciente del Mundial de Resistencia en São Paulo. BMW ganó las 6 Horas en una lucha muy apretada con Ferrari y Cadillac, con menos de siete segundos entre los tres primeros. Fue la segunda victoria de la marca bávara en la temporada y una señal más de lo abierta que está la categoría Hypercar. El contraste con Toyota fue llamativo. Después de ganar Le Mans, la marca japonesa sufrió en Interlagos y quedó lejos de la pelea principal. En un campeonato tan comprimido, pasar de la gloria al sufrimiento puede ocurrir en cuestión de semanas. Esa es, precisamente, parte de la riqueza actual del WEC. Spa, Estonia y Nashville nos dejan un menú de motor muy completo para el próximo fin de semana. Tres formas distintas de competir, pero una misma idea de fondo: este fin de semana no sólo se trata de correr rápido. También se trata de entender dónde y cómo se puede ir rápido.

WE HAVE… FERNANDO GOING TO ALPINE AND FLAVIO…RIDICULOUS X3 THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…INTERVIEW WITH HOWDEN GANLEY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL EMPLOYEES AT MCLAREN!! WE DO NEED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM ON THE AIR JUST CLICK ON THE SUPPORT F1W TAB ON THE FRONT PAGE YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! howden ganley... Born in 1941 in Hamilton, New Zealand, Howden Ganley's youthful ambitions were to either race yachts or play for the All Blacks New Zealand Rugby team. However, after attending 1955's New Zealand Grand Prix with his father and brother his ambitions changed and he set his goal on racing in Formula 1. After leaving school, he became a reporter for a newspaper and wrote a column for a magazine and once he obtained his license he raced in local events in his Mother's Morris Minor. He progressed to a Lotus Eleven but in order to fund his racing ambitions he was doing three jobs, on a construction site during the day, waiting tables in a restaurant at night then pumping gas at weekends. Once he obtained the Lotus he entered it for 1961's New Zealand GP at Ardmore and he won his class in the sports car race plus a race for New Zealand drivers only. He went on to race for two seasons though in a wet race at Dunedin his car finished up wrapped round a telegraph pole but he was fortunately uninjured. He eventually moved to the UK and began a career as a mechanic, becoming involved with Mike Moseley, who was planning on producing a road car called the Falcon 515. Once he helped get the car into production he would be allowed to build a lightweight version and race it. A friend, John Muller, helped him and he said the two shared a “bedsit over a railway line, ice on the inside of the window, single light socket hanging from the ceiling. There was a coin-slot meter, but we just plugged everything into that one light socket, because that was free, and put a six-inch nail across the fuse box.” From here he moved on and joined the Gemini Formula Junior team, as a mechanic and driver. He competed in his first single seater race at Goodwood and following this was the Nurburgring (finishing 14th out of 41 starters) but the team later lost their sponsorship and folded. He then became involved with the Talon F3 car but then came an offer from Bruce McLaren and he became one of the first employees of Bruce McLaren Motor Racing, working alongside Wally Wilmott, Tyler Alexander and Eoin Young in “a shed in New Malden full of earth-moving equipment: dirt floor, work bench, vice, set of welding bottles, a hacksaw and a file.” When asked by Tyler and Wally ‘Why are you here?', and telling them he was a mechanic, they told him “No you're not. We don't know whether you can thread a nut on the end of a bolt. You're a gopher.” During this period he worked as crew chief at Drummond Racing for Skip Scott and Peter Revson during the 1966-67 Can-Am season. After purchasing a Brabham BT21, he went on to race for two years in the series then switched to a Chevron B15. Towards the end of 1969's F3 season, despite starting 22nd on the grid at Brands Hatch, he was 11th by the fourth lap, sixth on lap 14 and on the last lap he was fourth after overtaking Francois Cevert in a Tecno. Going into the last corner while fighting another car for third he put a wheel on the grass, which let F.Cevert to get past. However, although he eventually finished fifth he had broken the circuit's F3 lap record at an average of exactly 100mph. His F3 racing then led to F5000 with a McLaren M10B-Chevrolet in 1970 and during the year he finished fourth in Oulton Park's Gold Cup race and finished second in the series to Peter Gethin. McLaren regularly tested the F5000 car at Goodwood and on one occasion Denny Hulme was also there with the Can-Am car. They needed someone to go in the passenger seat and “take the readings on a manometer or something they had in there. And nobody wanted to get in! Bruce asked me to do it. That was pretty entertaining, Denny right on the limit with me taking the readings. It was fantastic for me, because I totally trusted Denny. I also did a little bit of Can-Am testing in the M8.” Howden described Bruce McLaren as “the greatest leader of men I've ever met in my life…he was one of the nicest people, always happy and smiling, even in adversity, cheery, friendly. And he had that amazing ‘can do, will do,' attitude.” His F5000 racing brought him to the attention of the BRM F1 team, who signed him for 1971 and he took a strong fifth place in the Italian GP at Monza and fourth at Watkins Glen while in non-championship races he finished second in Oulton Park's Gold Cup, fourth at Hockenheim and fifth in the Race of Champions. In taking his fifth place at Monza, he was involved in the closest finish in GP history when just 0.61 seconds covered the top five finishers. In the team, he watched the strong competition between Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert “As the new boy I saw their rivalry at first hand. Each was determined to beat the other. If I ever set a faster time than one of them in practice or in a test, the other was always delighted. They each wanted the new kid to put the other down. But they were both just wonderful characters, wonderful blokes.” Racing in sports cars, he had a third place finish in a Can-Am race at Riverside with a BRM P167 and co-drove (with Paddy Driver and Mike Hailwood) to third at the Kyalami 9 Hours with a Chevron B19. At the end of the year he was awarded the Wolfgang von Trips Memorial Trophy, for the best performance by a newcomer to Grand Prix racing. Continuing with the team the following year his best finish was fourth at the Nurburgring but in sports cars he won Interserie races at Nurburgring and Zeltweg with a BRM P167 Chevrolet plus finished second at Le Mans with François Cevert in a Matra-Simca MS670. For 1973 he raced Frank Williams Racing's Iso–Marlboro, with his best results being seventh in Brazil and sixth at Mosport. However, that Canadian GP at Mosport could best be described as one of the most chaotic seen. When the race started, it was raining though it stopped and with the track drying the drivers headed to the pits to change tyres. However a number of drivers had to drive through as there was no space for them to be serviced in the small, busy, pit lane. When Jackie Stewart came in his teammate François Cevert's car was up on jacks and he was waved through to take another lap. Once they were back racing nobody knew exactly where they were in the scoring and after Francois Cevert and Jody Scheckter crashed a safety car was deployed. But the safety car pulled in front of Howden, who people maintained wasn't the leader at the time. But nobody has ever been able to say who was the leader plus nobody was really sure who had won, (was it Howden, Jackie Oliver, Peter Revson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mike Hailwood or James Hunt?). In the end, the race organizers decided Peter Revson had won, with Emerson Fittipaldi second and Jackie Oliver third. Asked at a later date who actually won, Howden declared it was Emerson Fittipaldi, with himself in third place. He said “My wife (Judy Kondratieff, a U.S. sports car racer who was an SCCA regional champion) was the best keeper of lap charts. It was not unusual for other teams and sometime race organisers to double-check what they had against hers. We went over and over what she had for weeks after that race. There's no doubt that Emerson won, with Jackie Oliver probably second and me probably third. We thought, initially, that I had won but when we checked and rechecked, I was in third. As it dried up, I saw what was happening in the pits, and I said there was no way I was going in there. My teammate, Tim Schenken, had stopped, but I waited till things calmed down. I eventually made a very good stop, and the pit lane was clear; I was in and out. So, off I go again — but I didn't know if anyone had gone by me while I was in the pits.' When he came up behind the safety car, they were telling him he was leading and when it pulled off and continued racing, “Emerson got past and maybe Ollie (Jackie Oliver). But Peter Revson never passed me on the track or while I was in the pits.” His wife Judy took her lap chart to the officials but they weren't interested and Howden was classed as finishing sixth, and given one point. In sports cars that year he was usually paired with Derek Bell in the John Wyer Gulf Mirage and took fifth in the 1000Km Zeltweg, fourth at the Watkins Glen 6 Hours plus second in the Spa 1000 Km race (though with Vern Schuppan). He started 1974 with March in Argentina and Brazil (finishing eighth in Buenos Aires) but then accepted an offer from F1 newcomers Maki. Unfortunately it was a frustrating time as he failed to qualify for the British GP but then sustained serious feet and ankle injuries when the suspension broke during practice at the German GP. He found himself in hospital with Mike Hailwood, who had also crashed, and told how team boss Louis Stanley helped them. He arranged a helicopter flight from the hospital to Cologne then “persuaded British Airways to take two stretchers on a scheduled flight, met us at Heathrow, got us to St Thomas' Hospital and laid on the great Mr Urquart — the surgeon who'd looked after Stirling Moss and John Surtees after their big accidents. Urquart's technique for rebuilding bone was, if you can stand the pain you should walk on it. In 16 days I was hobbling around St Thomas.” It would be nine months before he raced again, ironically returning to the Nurburgring with a Mirage GR7 in the 1000Kms race with Tim Schenken and despite Howden not being able to push the brake pedal properly they finished second. During 1975 he also finished second and third in Interserie races at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim with the Mirage. He then raced in Can-Am before retiring as a driver in 1978 but in that time he formed Tiga Race Cars with Tim Schenken (the name coming from TIm and GAnley). The company built Formula Fords and Sports 2000s, Formula Atlantics, C Sports for America, two Can-Am cars, 33 Group Cs, some Formula Ks for Mexico and Howden said that “by 1986 we'd delivered over 400 cars.” There were also plans to compete in Formula One but the project did not proceed due to sponsorship withdrawal. After Tiga he was elected onto the board of the BRDC, and became a director of Silverstone Circuits and Silverstone Estates as well. He was Club Secretary for a period but after leaving the boards they made him a Vice President. Howden also published an autobiography ‘The Road to Monaco: My Life in Motor Racing' which was described as “an exciting, absorbing and often wryly amusing view of motor racing, from the workshop, the pit wall, the cockpit, and many other vantage points.” Sadly, Howden's wife Judy developed cancer and passed away in 2007.   Peter Hooper Howden Ganley endured a frustrating year driving one of Frank Williams ISO-Marlboro in 1973. His one claim to fame was “leading” the Canadian GP behind the pace car. Unfortunately for Howden, things got even worse in 1974 when the Maki failed and he ended up with serious leg injuries. I always liked the Isos and this drawing was a joy to do.

The 963 Is Back, GT4 Goes 911, and Fake Paddle Shifters

Thank Our People Big shoutout to the crews putting in work this weekend. IMSA customer racing had JDC Miller taking 3rd overall, with GTD going to Manthey in 1st, Phorm and Wright's Motorsport rounding out 2nd. And over in Europe, the 24 Hours of Spa customer racing saw Lionspeed take the win in the GT3 R. Solid weekend across the board for the customer teams, and it's always worth pointing out how deep the talent pool is right now. The 963 Is Coming Back So we were wrong, and honestly we're happy about it. The 963 is confirmed for next year, which means Porsche is about to spend millions of dollars just to prove us wrong for talking trash. We'll take it. Still no Le Mans on the schedule though, which has us wondering out loud if the factory team is a little salty at the FIA and just decided to focus everything on IMSA instead. Pure speculation, but it's not a crazy theory given how things have played out. GT4 Goes 911 The new series taking over for GT4 is running a 911 instead of a 718 Cayman, and honestly the reasoning writes itself. The obvious one: the 718 Cayman isn't in production anymore, so you can't exactly build a race series around a car that doesn't exist. The less obvious one: it's another built-in opportunity for Porsche to sell more race-spec 911s. Curious what you all think about losing the Cayman as the entry point car for this class. Fake Paddle Shifters on the Taycan In "who asked for this" news, the 2027 Taycan is getting fake gear shifts, simulated paddle shifting, as a $1,000 option. We're not going to pretend we have a strong take here beyond mild bewilderment. It's a sign of where EV performance cars are headed as manufacturers try to recreate some of the physical feedback people miss from ICE cars. Leipzig Takes Over From Slovakia Also filed under "who cares but let's talk about it anyway," Porsche is shifting production back to Leipzig from Slovakia. Got us wondering if Porsche will ever actually build cars stateside. Our gut says probably not anytime soon, given how tied their manufacturing identity is to Germany, but we'll argue both sides of that one on the show. Get On the Fahren Waiting List If you haven't put your name down for Fahren yet, now's the time. Rally season creeps up fast and car prep should already be in progress if it isn't. Some of the summer rallies have already come and gone, but the big fall events are right around the corner. Our lineup is a mix of air-cooled and water-cooled cars, so there's room for both camps. Don't sleep on this one, you'll miss your shot to drive with a group of genuinely like-minded people. That's the show for this week.

The latest of our RE-HEATED series, where we re-issue episodes that might share something with racing stories in the news… Episode 30 featuring Johnny O'Connell. If you're going to do a podcast about icons of motorsport, then Johnny O'Connell is a mandatory visit. As one of the most charismatic guys in modern sportscar, Johnny is wicked fast, you'll know this because he'll tell you…. having (according to him) been a second faster than every teammate he's ever had. Beyond speed, however, Johnny brings results. As the winningest driver in GM history, Johnny took four consecutive World Challenge championships to go with his four class wins at Le Mans. One of the funniest and most likable guys in the paddock, we were happy to treat him to lunch at Moonie's Texas Barbecue in Flowery Branch, Georgia, with the music of Wrecks playing us out.

Fresh off a tripleheader weekend of ARCA, Trucks, and Cup at The Tricky Triangle, DBC is back in the studio – once again praising the domination of Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 after his third straight win from the pole. On this episode, Chris Lambert – spotter for the No. 11 of Denny Hamlin – joins the show as a guest to talk about what's made the No. 11 team so strong in 2026, his journey into spotting at NASCAR's top level, and his thoughts on all the hot topics from this past weekend. Also, the group notes that NASCAR had tech trailers parked at the track in Pocono – front and center - but the No. 11 and No. 45 were not taken for testing. Plus, Jimmie Johnson does a drunk interview at Le Mans, Legacy is starting to contend for wins, and everyone has plenty of questions about how this weekend will go in San Diego.
