Motoring Historian Jon Summers examines claims that electric vehicles frequently catch fire, drawing on a Society of Automotive Engineers talk in Palo Alto by Dr. Abid Kemal of Exponent, a firm known for major failure investigations. He says vehicle fires have halved since 1980 and usually involve 10–20-year-old cars, while EVs appear 5–10 times less likely to burn than ICE vehicles, though their fires can occur later—on tow trucks or weeks in yards—because stranded battery energy remains after a crash. He explains thermal runaway: a weak cell heats from charge cycles, damages neighbors, melts plastics, boils electrolyte, generates oxygen, and can ignite in milliseconds, with severity influenced by state of charge. Examples include the 2021 Chevy Bolt battery recall and GM's 80% charge limit, shipping policies under 50% charge, and the need for firefighter and tow-industry training. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 EV Fire Panic 02:36 Conspiracy Claims 04:22 What The Data Says 05:07 Why EV Fires Differ 07:41 Who Is Exponent? 08:24 A Quick EV History 11:53 Inside Battery Packs 14:49 Thermal Runaway Explained 19:53 Charge Level Risks 22:39 Recalls And Real Cases 23:37 Final Takeaways ==================== 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 Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

This Evening With A Legend welcomes road racing standout Tommy Kendall tracing his long path to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Tommy recounts early racing beginnings, limited U.S.-Europe crossover in his prime, and how a secret pre-Saleen S7 plan led to his 2000 Le Mans debut in a Franz Konrad Porsche, including a spoof “Fumfour” story published during the race. He describes Le Mans' unmatched speed, endurance-race sleep discipline, international pageantry, and the shift to relentless modern pace. Kendall then details his 2013 return with the factory SRT Viper GTS-R amid heavy rain, long cautions, a fatal early accident, a risky slick-tire stint without traction control, and a right-rear failure that made it his worst stint. He also discusses Corvette-Viper rivalry, broadcasting Le Mans remotely, Daytona vs. Le Mans demands, dream cars, and possible Le Mans Classic interest. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Tommy Kendall 01:49 Early Racing Dreams 03:54 Why Le Mans Took Time and His Secret 2000 Entry 08:55 First Laps Reality Check 11:44 Endurance Sleep Strategy 14:51 Team Chemistry & Pageantry 16:49 American Pride in 2000 and Garage 56 Reaction 20:14 Dream TransAm Choice for Le Mans 21:54 Road Back to 2013 ... the Viper Deal Comes Together 27:10 Viper Corvette Rivalry 30:15 Chasing Le Mans Podium 31:08 Viper versus TransAm? 35:27 The Worst Stint of Tommy's Life: The Night Rain Tire Gamble 42:16 Calling Races From Afar 44:19 Why Endurance Matters 47:50 Dream Cars And Le Mans Classic 49:33 Whats Next?

Break/Fix Podcast welcomes Greg Stanley, host of The Collector Car Podcast and author of The Enthusiast's Guide to Collector Cars, to discuss his path into the collector-car world and how a passion project podcast led to consulting as a car specialist with RM/Sotheby's, including sourcing cars such as the Ferrari 330 LM/250 GTO that sold for $51.7 million. Greg shares the story behind his rare, unrestored, family-owned Pontiac GTO in Tiger Gold and his multi-year effort to get it featured on Jay Leno's Garage, including an on-site interview with Leno. He reflects on interview insights, shifting focus away from pure valuations toward stories and experience, and explains why he wrote an entry-level guide to help newcomers and even non-enthusiast partners understand the hobby. We also discuss generational trends, engaging kids at events, the “last analog” era, future collectibles, and Greg's upcoming Porsche enthusiast guide and book tour schedule. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Greg Stanley! 01:17 Origin Story: Starting a Car Podcast and Breaking Into RM/Sothebys 05:21 Life as Car Specialist 05:55 The Tiger Gold GTO & Getting on Jay Leno 14:53 Interview Surprises 17:45 Market Trends and Values 21:00 Generational Shift in Collecting 22:47 Why Write the Guide? 25:41 Getting Kids Into Classics 29:15 The School Bus Story 31:35 Pitstop: Porsche 959 vs F40? 34:50 Writing the Enthusiast Guide and avoiding Jargon for Newbies 40:37 Inside the new Porsche Book 45:06 Future of Collecting, Top Future Collectibles? 52:06 What's Next for Greg? 52:45 Where to Buy the Book 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

The inaugural episode of Automotive History Live! introduces a new show presented by the Studebaker National Museum and sponsored by the Society of Automotive Historians, with hosts joined by Studebaker archivist Andrew Beckman. Beckman traces Studebaker's origins from an 1840s South Bend blacksmith shop to the world's largest wagon builder, its early electric (1902) and gasoline (1904) automobile efforts via partnerships, and its lasting civic and industrial impact on South Bend. He explains the museum's evolution from Studebaker's corporate collection to today's 2005 facility, its archives access and research services, and notable holdings including presidential carriages and the screen-used 1951 “Fozzie Bear” Studebaker. The conversation highlights regional museum collaborations, details the boutique Concours d'Elegance at Copshaholm and its rotating classes, and previews the Automotive History Live conference programming and preservation mission. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Show Launch! 02:06 Studebaker Origins: From Wagons to Cars 05:34 South Bend Indiana Legacy 07:17 Supplier Ecosystem 11:02 Museum Founded (2005) 13:27 Archives Return & Preserving Records 19:47 Packard Connections 22:18 A Must See Collection 24:49 Museum Partnerships 28:48 Copshaholm Concours d'Elegance 40:20 Fun Classes and Lemons! 41:55 Automotive History Live Launch 48:01 Preserving Truthful History 49:44 Dream Museum Upgrades 52:01 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 This episode is part of our AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY LIVE!

Formula Fanatics is Break/Fix Podcast's fast F1 news format, recapping a chaotic Canadian GP weekend with a lively sprint, shifting weather, strategy misfires (notably tires), formation-lap delays, multiple retirements and penalties, and a podium of Antonelli, Hamilton and Verstappen, plus commentary on team struggles. Monaco is framed as a “funeral procession” but delivers drama: Verstappen stalls, widespread pit-lane speeding penalties tied to pit-lane measurement/entry issues, Russell's penalty controversy, late red flag and standing restart, and an Antonelli win. The Spanish GP features more DNFs, Stroll's gearbox failure, Alonso reaching lap 40, Hülkenberg retiring after a rock triggers the kill switch, McLaren track-limits complaints, and Hamilton winning with a clean Ferrari strategy. The hosts debate Hamilton's longevity, championship chances, contracts, and upcoming races leading into “silly season.” ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Welcome to Formula Fanatics 00:42 Canada Sprint Recap 02:04 Rainy Race Strategy Chaos 05:31 Hamilton Podium Debate, Points Gap and Upgrades 09:23 Track Talk: Potato or Croissant? 10:53 Why Monaco Still Exists 12:11 Monaco DNFs and Penalties 17:25 Red Flag Sprint Finish 18:15 Le Mans Clash with Spain Conspiracies? 20:59 Who Wins the Title 22:26 Mercedes Reliability Woes 25:28 Hulkenberg Kill Switch Fluke 26:57 Track Limits Radio Wars 28:45 Hamilton Wins in Spain! 32:03 Hamiltons next season, what does that look like? 35:36 Silly Season and Next Races 36:29 Closing Thoughts and Sponsors ==================== Formula Fanatics, is the high-octane sub-series of Break/Fix Podcast's Drive Thru Motorsports News!

Drive Thru News Episode #69 marks Break/Fix's six-year anniversary and recaps June's automotive news, led by a 24 Hours of Le Mans discussion: Toyota's comeback win, a generally "meh" race, more LMP2 coverage, Corvette's GT3 win, and a surprising Lexus run amid BOP and marketing criticisms, plus a Simeone Museum viewing-party report with lower attendance due to the race not falling on Father's Day. The hosts then explain why their Lemons effort never reached the starting line after their Ford Focus entered limp mode, leading to extensive troubleshooting, ECU replacement/programming issues, and plans to replace the engine wiring harness and relocate the ECU. Other topics include rumored Audi TT revival on a Boxster platform, possible US return of the base Golf via Mexico, unusual Audi tech, VW sales via Costco, harsh reactions to Ferrari's new Luce EV design, Chrysler-Fiat rebadges, Chinese-ownership restrictions affecting Polestar/Volvo, defense-industry tie-ins, Subaru manual rumors, the Slate truck, Toyota's EV "stall" patent, California tire regulation, book and event plugs, and quirky crime stories. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Dad Jams and Car Culture 00:02:28 Le Mans 2026 00:07:23 Simeone Viewing Party 00:09:25 Ferrari Frustrations 00:12:52 GT3 Surprise Lexus Run & BOP Politics Explained 00:17:29 Lemons Plans #EpicFail 00:29:59 Volkswagen Audi Rumor Mill - Is the TT Coming Back? 00:34:46 Golf Returns with Tariff Drama 00:36:37 Bonkers Audi Contraption and Projector Turn Signal Debate 00:40:37 Volkswagen Goes Costco 00:42:12 Ferrari Luce EV Design Roast 00:46:45 Chrysler Rebadged Fiats in 2027 00:48:59 Chinese Ownership Car Bans 00:55:04 BMW ///M2 News Spiral 00:56:17 GM Teams With Lockheed 00:58:17 Subaru Manual Rumors 01:03:41 Honda Element Nostalgia 01:06:31 Slate Truck EV Breakdown 01:10:53 Toyota's "EV Stall" Patent 01:14:14 Aftermarket Tire Crackdown 01:19:16 Book Club Pick: Preston Lerner 01:20:22 Concours at Copshaholm Event Plug 01:22:40 Mattel Brick Shop vs Lego 01:25:59 The Florida "Chase Files" 01:39:41 Motorsports Updates 01:42:35 Wrap Up and Sponsors ==================== 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

Break/Fix Podcast interviews author Jesse Fresco about his pulpy, fast-paced novella Drive Like Hell and the expanding Autumn Frost series, including upcoming sequels Black and Blue (set in Baltimore) and Funland Fury. Fresco discusses his background in the film industry and stagehand work, how writing became his escape, and his inspirations for characters, pacing, and car-centric action while keeping rules like having Autumn drive most of the time and never fire a gun. The conversation also covers his longer, more personal sci-fi novel Skyhawk, inspired by the NES game Captain Skyhawk, his choice of relatable “used future” worldbuilding, and plans for a seven-book arc, plus his self-publishing experience via Ingram-Spark, audiobook plans, and a new AI-themed sci-fi project. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Jesse Fresco's Origins 03:19 Film Industry Burnout & Becoming a Writer 06:21 Who is Autumn Frost? 09:05 Writing Fast Novellas 12:03 Future Books and Villains 13:57 Cars and Chase Craft 20:35 Switching to Skyhawk 24:24 Worldbuilding Choices & Relatable Future Tech 31:18 New AI Film Novel 33:36 Advice For Authors and the Self Publishing Reality 37:24 Audiobook Plans 38:46 Covers, Fonts, and Pricing 40:50 Wrap Up And Credits ==================== 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

Break/Fix Podcast's mission is to preserve automotive living history and welcomes returning co-host Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine alongside guest Wallace “Wally” Wyss, a longtime automotive writer turned fine artist. Wally recounts how early exposure to GM design chief Bill Mitchell and a British magazine feature on the Iso Grifo shifted him from poetry and art studies into advertising and then automotive journalism, including stints at Car Life and MotorTrend with vivid Sunset Strip stories. He explains how a chance ride in a 427 Cobra led to meeting Carroll Shelby, and launching a best-selling Cobra book and deep Shelby insights about Shelby's deal-driven approach. Wyss describes becoming a “barn find” hunter and author, then “accidentally” transitioning into painting exotic and classic cars after selling a Shelby portrait, outlining his process, commissions, design critiques, and ongoing radio show, while reflecting on creativity, reinvention, and concerns about AI's impact on writing. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Wallace Wyss 01:51 Early Influences Detroit and How Cars Spark Writing Path 05:15 MotorTrend Hustle Stories 07:39 First Cobra Book Breakthrough 12:02 Becoming "The Barn Find" Guy 19:08 Car Design Critiques & Most Beautiful Cars List 22:00 Vector and Jerry Weigert Tales 22:56 Roger Penske Corvette Story 24:53 Pitstop: "The Man In White" Origin Story 27:48 Accidental Art Career 33:55 Wally's Painting Process 36:28 Witnessing Car History 38:49 Advice And AI Fears; Shout Outs 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
You might think, “Retiring age na ako, may magagawa pa ba ako?” Oo naman! Abraham was 75 years old when he moved, along with his family, to Haran in obedience to God (Genesis 12:4), lived long, and died at a good old age serving God (Genesis 25:7–8).

Manuela Bertuccelli"Olo Editore"www.oloeditore.comC'è un colore che non avete mai visto. Si chiama olo, un blu-verde saturo percepito di recente dalla scienza, mai percepito prima, non paragonabile a nulla di noto. Sta dentro il nostro spettro visivo e, allo stesso tempo, lo supera. Manuela Bertuccelli ha scelto proprio questo nome per la sua casa editrice, nata a Viareggio nel 2026, e la scelta racconta già tutto: fare qualcosa che conosciamo — pubblicare libri, soprattutto classici — spostandosi appena fuori asse, quanto basta per cambiare la luce. OLO nasce dalla convinzione che i classici non siano mai finiti: si rinnovano a ogni sguardo. La formula che Bertuccelli ha inventato è quella delle trilogie tematiche: tre opere di epoche e tradizioni diverse messe in dialogo per far emergere connessioni inattese tra romanzi, racconti e personaggi che continuano ancora oggi a parlare di identità, potere, desiderio, alienazione, trasformazione. Così Frankenstein, Le avventure di Pinocchio e Eva Futura si ritrovano insieme sotto il titolo Assemblati; tre storie di creature artificiali che chiedono di essere riconosciute. Pochi titoli, curatissimi, con prefazioni originali e un'attenzione all'oggetto-libro che si sente nella grafica, nel carattere, nel formato. Il logo O⅃O è palindromo, con la L rovesciata, nel riassunto dello slogan: Osare. Liberi. Oltre. In un tempo che consuma tutto in un like, Bertuccelli sceglie la lettura lenta. E ci crede davvero. Manuela BertuccelliNata nel 1977 a Viareggio, ha lavorato come correttrice di bozze e poi come editor.

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.

Break/Fix Podcast returns with co-host Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine to interview car enthusiast and fundraiser Bob Hammer about using car culture to support A Brighter Day, a nonprofit helping teens and young adults facing stress, depression, and suicidal ideation. Bob shares his automotive roots (including a '66 Barracuda, a long-owned '65 Mustang he sold during two bouts of testicular cancer, a '68 Corvette, and restoring his uncle's 1957 Chevy stake bed to stock after his uncle's death) and his fundraising background through the Have a Ball Foundation, which has raised $5.4 million for cancer. Now as A Brighter Day's development director, Bob is expanding the charity's car show into downtown Danville, CA on Sunday, June 14, with sponsors, vendors, music, awards, and a goal of growing attendance and fundraising over time. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Bob Hammer 01:43 Car Guy Origins 03:11 Family Truck Tribute 04:00 From Cancer to Foundation 05:54 Danville Car Show Revival 07:08 Joining A Brighter Day 09:32 Car Show Success Tips 12:59 A Brighter Day Mission 14:12 New Downtown Event Details 19:38 Future Growth & Fundraising Goals 25:21 How to Get Involved 27:27 Closing Sponsors Outro ==================== 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
Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian, recaps a Consumer Reports session led by Alex Knizek, outlining CR's nonprofit testing operation (36 cars yearly, 330-acre Connecticut track) and its scoring pillars: road test, reliability, owner satisfaction (380,000 member surveys), and safety, including real-world/track ADAS evaluation. He reads key rankings, including five-to-ten-year reliability led by Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and Acura, with Tesla last; he contrasts this with the 2026 brand report card topped by Subaru, BMW, Porsche, Honda, and Toyota, and notes Rivian's low reliability but high satisfaction. He shares takeaways that hybrids show 15% fewer issues than ICE, while plug-ins have 80% more issues than hybrids, and discusses model-specific drags (Honda Prologue, Mazda CX-90). He explains his wife's purchase of a 2026 Cadillac Optiq, influenced by pricing, free workplace charging, and Super Cruise. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Why Consumer Reports? 02:07 Inside CR Testing 03:22 Elk Test Explained 04:36 How CR Scores Cars 06:29 Used Car Reliability 09:01 New Car Software Woes 10:56 Brand Report Card 12:54 Surveys Versus Desire 17:01 Hybrids PHEVs EVs 22:23 ADAS & Super Cruise 25:10 EV Reliability Problems 26:46 Safety Rankings 27:37 Top 10 Picks Wrap 28:55 Thanks And Credits ==================== 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 Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

This month's Drive Thru News mixes banter and headlines with a “What Should I Buy?” story: Brad abandons his troubled orange Mk4 GTI “Pumpkin Spice” after finding oil-and-coolant “chocolate milk” from internal failure and frame misalignment, then buys a high-mileage Vortex Blue Turbo Beetle (one of 2,000 U.S. cars) that's clean, street legal, and likely chipped, prompting naming jokes and parts-swapping plans. The crew debates VW's business turmoil, an allegedly Mk4-inspired Mk9 Golf design, the 2027 ID.Buzz return, Porsche EV uncertainty, a Cayenne Electric Coupe, simulated “manual” shift-by-wire, and Brembo's non-hydraulic brake system. Other topics include Stellantis moves and factory health complaints, BMW killing the Z4 but teasing a manual M3 CS, an ugly Mercedes EV, discounted Hertz Shelby Mach-Es, an Outlander recall and handling rant, a pristine 1992 Scirocco auction, Cybertruck mishaps, books and upcoming events, Florida flying-car talk, sim-racing updates, and 24 Hours of Lemons prep including a risky wheel-sourcing tow story. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Drive Thru Kickoff 00:00:49 Buying yet another VW?!? 00:05:27 Pumpkin Spice Autopsy 00:09:15 Naming The Blue Beetle 00:11:09 Parting Out The Orange GTI and Resisting The Porsche Temptress 00:18:01 VW Business Model Panic 00:19:41 Mark 9 Golf Controversy 00:21:21 ID.Buzz Returns?

This episode of Evening With A Legend features endurance driver Ricky Taylor talking about his Le Mans experiences, from attending in 2001 with his father (Wayne Taylor) to racing there from 2013 onward. Ricky describes the event's scale, the track's dusty first laps, narrow roads, tricky slow corners, night-time loneliness, and the WEC vs IMSA differences in culture, rules, and precision. He explains Le Mans' low-energy surface and long tire life, plus how top-level simulators and Michelin tire models aid preparation. Ricky also reviews Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac's recent Le Mans effort, including qualifying pace, missing Hyperpole, and an engine failure, and reflects on racing with his brother Jordan and teammate Filipe Albuquerque.

In this Break/Fix Pit Stop Minisode, the hosts welcome back legendary sports car driver Hurley Haywood to revisit his defining years with Audi in Trans-Am and IMSA. Hurley explains how Bob Tullius and Audi brought him into the program after he broke his leg, describes Group 44's professionalism, and contrasts team dynamics once Audi factory engineers controlled strategy and development. He recounts early surprises with the Quattro, learning all-wheel-drive technique, and how the cars became overwhelmingly dominant, winning a Trans-Am championship before SCCA banned four-wheel drive and IMSA piled on weight and engine restrictions that rarely slowed them. Haywood discusses the advanced 90 Quattro GTO, politics that ended Audi's program, his brief Ferrari F40 IMSA experience, lessons from Walter Röhrl, and reflections on technology, dominance, and Audi's prospects in Formula 1. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Hurley Haywood Returns 01:54 Injury to Audi Opportunity 03:21 Audi Quattro First Test 04:49 Bob Tullius Team Culture & Factory Team Dynamics 08:25 Quattro Dominates TransAm 09:47 IMSA 90 Quattro Monster 14:17 Penalties Couldnt Stop Audi 16:26 Rivals Rage and BOP Politics Begin 20:03 Audi Track Antics ...

This week, we head to Sherwood Forest to revisit Disney's animated classic Robin Hood (1973). With animal outlaws, corrupt royalty, catchy folk songs, and one of Disney's most lovable duos in Robin and Little John, does this laid-back cult favorite still hold up, or is it just nostalgia talking? We break down the movie's charm, recycled animation, iconic music, and surprisingly sharp themes about power, greed, and heroism, all while trying to decide if Prince John is secretly one of Disney's funniest villains ever.

In this episode of The Logbook, our History of Motorsports Series, Mark Raffauf traces IMSA's nearly 60-year evolution from John Bishop and Bill France's founding phone call to today's hybrid era. Raffauf recounts IMSA's early experiments with Formula Fords/Vees, the shift to closed-wheel GT racing, the creation of Camel GT, RS/“little car” series on street tires, and All American GT, plus innovations like road-racing stock cars, Group 5, and GTP prototypes developed with the ACO to keep cars available to private teams. He highlights major manufacturers and iconic cars (Porsche 935/962, BMW CSL, Greenwood Corvette, Mazda rotary, Audi 90 GTO, Jaguar, Nissan, Toyota, Ferrari 333 SP), the growth of street races and Firestone Firehawk, rising speeds and safety limits, ownership turmoil, the IMSA split into ALMS and Grand-Am, and the eventual merger leading to today's booming IMSA with strong OEM support and advanced hybrid prototypes. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Mark Raffauf 02:14 IMSA Origins Bishop & Bill France 03:55 First Races Open Wheel 04:53 Closed Wheel Camel GT, Small Cars w/ Street Tires 06:32 All American GT Era 10:42 American Challenge Stock Cars 11:39 Group 5 Turbo Monsters 13:48 GTP Arrives Daytona 1978 15:20 935 Evolution And Innovation 18:11 Privateers Payout Philosophy and the Road America Breakthrough 22:29 Lola T600 Ground Effects 26:14 Audi 90 GTO Quattro 28:28 Jaguars Take Over 29:11 Street Races: Miami and the Downtown street racing boom! 29:42 Wild tech experiments 30:13 GTP rules vs Group C 33:06 Firehawk showroom racers 34:47 Night racing survival 36:54 When speed got dangerous 38:46 Ownership turmoil and exports 40:57 GTP peak and aero wars 44:49 World Sports Car era 46:46 Ferrari 333SP dominance 48:11 Split into Grand Am and ALMS 50:57 Merger to modern IMSA 51:49 Hybrids and today's grid 53:53 Closing remarks and sponsors ==================== 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 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 - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
This Formula Fanatics episode recaps the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka: “Kimi” wins despite a poor start, finishes 14 seconds ahead of Piastri, and the race features Beerman's major 50G crash after a sudden slowdown ahead, plus a long cleanup that impacts strategy and hurts Russell after a safety-car sequence. They discuss concerns about speed disparity, energy management, and rumored FIA reconsideration of the 50/50 electric split, along with upcoming regulation changes and Ferrari upgrades, noting Miami is likely processional while Canada may better reveal impacts. They criticize Cadillac's poor performance and debate Audi's mid-pack results and viability, including talk of leadership rumors. Tania gives her take on the F1 movie: impressive visuals but an unrealistic, overlong storyline, with skepticism about a sequel; they mention interest in a forthcoming Schumacher project focused on 1994. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Suzuka Recap Begins 01:20 Winner and Early Drama 02:00 Beerman Crash Breakdown 02:50 Power Unit Rules Debate 03:40 Cleanup Chaos and Safety Car 04:40 Russell Radio Weirdness 05:21 Cadillac Strategy Fiasco 06:42 Battles and Hamilton Buzz; Ferrari F40 & Off Track Drama 09:31 Mansell on Hamilton's Eighth Title, and Does Eight Titles Matter? 15:18 Is Racing Too Artificial Now? 15:35 Reg Changes Preview 16:45 Audi Midfield Debate 20:08 Drivers And Leadership 21:30 Miami And Canada Outlook 23:05 F1 Movie Reactions 29:15 Schumacher '94 Hype 30:37 Wrap Up And Sponsors ==================== Formula Fanatics, is the high-octane sub-series of Break/Fix Podcast's Drive Thru Motorsports News!

On this episode of The Motoring Historian, Jon Summers summarizes a Western Automotive Journalists recap of CES 2026 led by chair Charlie Vogelheim, arguing that major auto innovation has shifted from traditional auto shows to CES. He frames the industry around electrification, autonomy, connectivity, and shared mobility, noting huge spending since 2010 largely from outside traditional OEMs, and discusses how autonomy remains harder than early forecasts. Highlights include Waymo's sixth-generation vehicles with 29 sensors and expansion to colder cities; Nvidia's open AI platform; Uber's planned 2026 Lucid Gravity-based autonomous rollout; Qualcomm's single-chip ADAS/infotainment concept enabling cheaper EVs and reinforcing “software-defined” cars like Xiaomi's ecosystem approach; bolt-on ADAS from comma.ai; Zoox demos; Mercedes “Level 2++”; Sony-Honda's expensive Afeela; Germany's remotely driven Vay concept; and standout tech like a hovering flying motorcycle and Donut Lab's solid-state battery designs. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Why CES Matters 01:10 EV Future Hopes 03:23 Three Revolutions 05:32 Shared Rides and Waymo 09:38 ACES and Investment 11:13 Waymo Gen 6 Hardware 13:33 Cold Weather Challenges 15:09 Nvidia and Lucid Gravity 17:41 Qualcomm One Chip Cars 21:39 Software Defined Automakers 25:19 Aftermarket Autonomy Debate 27:24 Autonomy Reality Check 28:56 More CES Oddities + Flying Bikes and Batteries 39:11 AI Construction Machines 41:50 Is ACES Still Relevant? 43:29 Outro and Credits ==================== 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 Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

This episode of the Logbook, our History of Motorsports Series, discusses the intertwining advancements in motorsports and space exploration in 1965. Dr. Mark D.

Dr. Howell draws connections between technological innovations and national ambitions that shaped historical milestones in both fields. The narrative highlights Formula One's 75th anniversary, NASA's Project Gemini, and competitive advancements in NASCAR, Indy 500, and land speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats. Additionally, the influence of societal and cultural memory in shaping historical understanding is examined. The episode underscores how the accomplishments of 1965 have continued to impact racing, space exploration, and collective cultural identity. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Setting the Stage: 1965 in Motorsports and Space Exploration 00:50 The Significance of 1965 04:07 The Space Race: Achievements and Challenges 05:03 Gemini Missions and American EVAs 13:27 NASCAR's Evolution and Controversies 18:52 The 1965 Indianapolis 500 24:37 Ford's Global Racing Ambitions 27:21 Bonneville Salt Flats and Land Speed Records 30:03 Motorsports Legends of 1965 33:25 Societal Logics and Collective Memory 37:12 Q&A Session 47:13 Closing Remarks and Credits ==================== 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 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 - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Jon Summers and co-host Mark Gammie discuss the British Touring Car Championship with a focus on its 1990s peak, while placing it in historical context from early British saloon car racing through eras featuring cars like the Ford Galaxie, Lotus Cortina, Vauxhall “Big Bertha/Baby Bertha,” Capris and Rover SD1s. They recall late-1980s/early-1990s battles between Sierra Cosworths and BMW E30 M3s, the excitement of Murray Walker's commentary, and BTCC's NASCAR-like contact on narrow UK club circuits such as Brands Hatch, Donington, Thruxton, Cadwell Park, Knockhill, and Snetterton. They cover the two-liter, 8,000-rpm formula, heavy manufacturer involvement, memorable moments involving Tarquini, Mansell, and Plato, the influence of the TOCA Touring Car video game, and how rising costs and aero/regulation changes reduced factory participation and spectator interest after 2000. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 BTCC Origins and NASCAR Parallel 02:54 Jack Sears and the Ford Galaxie 05:56 Jerry Marshall and Vauxhall Berthas 09:38 Capris vs Rover SD1 + TV Era 13:22 First BTCC Memories Sierras and M3s 14:35 Murray Walker 16:27 Club Circuits Brands to Cadwell, Thruxton, and Goodwood 24:11 Nineties Contact and Iconic Crashes 26:12 F1 Cameos Chaos 27:02 TOCA Game Memories 27:33 BTCC Rules and Money: Why It Beat F1 33:47 Favorite Tracks And Cars 35:15 Renault Laguna Road Car Tales 41:20 Drivers And Skill Gap 43:53 Reg Creep And Decline 46:19 Everyman Cars, Taxi Driver, Wrap Up And Credits! ==================== 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 Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every week with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.Today, let's look at another very common sound change in American English: “don't you.” In everyday American English, we usually pronounce don'y you as don-cha. That's because when the T sound and the Y sound come together, they blend into a CH sound. And the OO of you becomes UH. So... don't you becomes don-chaDon't you know that? becomes Don-cha know that?Don't you want to go? becomes Don-cha wanna go?Don't you remember? becomes Don-cha remember?Let's practice. Repeat after me: Don-cha know that? Don-cha wanna go? Don-cha remember?Nice and smooth - don-cha. Using this kind of linking makes your English smoother and more natural.Hey, thanks for listening!
