Podcasts about thrust ssc

There aren't many people who can claim to drive faster than a speeding bullet. In fact there's only one person who holds the only supersonic land speed record, which was 763 miles per hour, and that person is Andy Green. In this fascinating episode of Some Say, Ben meets Andy and Thrust SSC for a very in-depth chat about what it was like to drive the world's fastest supersonic car. You can also watch the full interview on Ben's YouTube channel, Ben Collins' Drives. 

On our first episode of 2023, Chris and Marty compare 1975's Death Race 2000 and 2008's Death Race, reflect on the work of Ken Block, catch up on all the good car content that was released over Christmas and argue about whether Drive to Survive still appeals to F1 fans. But first, we discuss the sad passing of Ken Block and the legacy he leaves behind, the remake of Bullitt, is this the end of the Grand Tour? and Drive to Survive is out Feb 24th!Since the last episode, we've been watching loads of Car Trek - both in episodes and the Oregon Fail special - Michael Fassbender actually completes the Road to Le Mans (Or does he?). Evo's Car of the Year is actually good again. Chris starts watching the Bernie story 'Lucky', all the Gymkhana films, a short film about Group B rallying starring Richard Madden, the real story behind Mighty Car Mods and Turbos and Temples 3. For our reviews we compare Death Race 2000 (1975) and Death Race (2008).In What Has Henry Catchpole Been Driving This Week? He ended his Carfection run with a sublime Ferrari 550 Maranello video, highlighting just what a brilliant car that is. He also drove the McLaren Mercedes SLR HDK by MSO, which was a wonderful bit of rare groove automobilia!For our picks, Chris went for Mercedes F1's Las Vegas demo run as a flex of 360 camera tech, while his channel was Donut Media (again), especially the High Car/Low Car challenges. Marty excavated a wonderful documentary about Thrust SSC from Archive.org for his pick, while the channel could only be Hoonigan.

Hoy día ya no tienen tanta repercusión los records de velocidad sobre tierra. Pero durante muchos años fueron un polo de atracción indiscutible. Y dieron lugar a coches espectaculares y salvajes. Hoy vamos a repasar algunos de los más curiosos hasta llegar al último. ¡Que ganas tenía de hacer este video! Llevaba en la lista pues… ¡casi un año! Porque aunque me encantan los circuitos, los rallyes y las curvas, que para mí es lo más de la conducción y el pilotaje, mi faceta ingenieril siempre me ha hecho tener una especial sensibilidad por estos monstruos, sobre todo mientras fueron propulsados por motores alternativos y con propulsión a las ruedas… porque después se han convertido en cohetes con ruedas que van por el suelo. Vamos por este listado que ni es cronológico ni es alfabético, es por orden de velocidad… e insisto, no pongo a todos, sino a los que me parecen relevantes. Y voy a llevar a Rodrigo a un callejón de salida, porque encontrar fotos de algunos de estos coches creo que será, como la película, “Misión imposible”. Jeantaud Duc (1898) 63,150 km/h Como curiosidad os puedo decir que los primeros récords de velocidad lo consiguieron coches eléctricos y alguno de vapor y que no eran coches diseñados específicamente para esto. Le Jamais Contente (1899) 105,88 km/h Solo un año después, un coche que me gusta mucho, hasta el nombre, “Nunca feliz”, supera la entonces fatídica barrera de los 100 km/h, una locura impensable unos pocos año antes. ¡Y seguimos con un coche eléctrico! Y ahora nos dicen que los eléctricos es lo último en tecnología. Mors (1902) 122,44 km/h A Mors le corresponde ser el primer coche con motor de combustión interna en batir un récord de velocidad… Gobron-Brillié Gordon Benett (1904) 166,86 km/h Sólo cinco años después de superar los 100 km/h se superan las 100 millas por hora con un coche de combustión interna. Stanley Rocket (1906) 205,44 km/h Y solo dos años después y con un coche a vapor se supera la barrera de los 200 km/h. Recordemos que la tecnología del vapor estaba muy desarrollada no solo por la industria del automóvil, sino sobre todo por la del ferrocarril. Lo curioso de este récord es que permaneció vigente hasta 2009… Como récord de velocidad para un coche de vapor. Mistery o el Sumbeam 1000 HP (1927) 327,97 km/h ¡Y llegamos a los coches que me gustan de verdad! Como este monstruo, conocido por “el coche de los 1.000 CV” que aún hoy, siguen siendo muchos. Para hacer este coche no se anduvieron por las ramas: Juntaron dos motores de aviación de 12 cilindros cada uno y 22,4 litros de cilindrada. Lo cierto es que los 45.000 cm3 y los 24 cilindros no bastaron para conseguir 1.000 CV… Se quedaron en 900 “solamente”. Golden Arrow (1929) 372,46 Km/h Superar al coche de los 1.000 CV no era tarea fácil. De hecho en esta historia estoy olvidando un “detalle” muy importante: La gente, los pilotos, morían en muchos de los intentos. El precioso Golden Arrow era claramente más sofisticado que el Sumbeam de 1.000 CV, sobre todo en el aspecto aerodinámico. Su motor era de sólo 12 cilindros en W pero conseguía 925 CV. Gracias a este récord el piloto Sir Henry Segrave fue nombrado Caballero, se paso a los récords náuticos y murió en un accidente un año después. Blue Bird (1935) 484,60 km/h Pero Malcom Campbell y sus sucesivas generaciones de Blue Bird se acabaron convirtiendo en los reyes de la velocidad. Fueron los primeros en superar las 300 millas por hora, en el lago salado de Bonneville, las llanura más lisa y extensa del planeta, según decían. Le bastó un simple motor V12, eso sí, de 40.000 cm3… Me encantaría oír ese motor. Spirit of America (1963) 655,72 km/h Con solo tres ruedas y ninguna tractora a este coche se le acusaba de ser un cohete tumbando y sobre ruedas… Realmente es lo que era. Inicialmente su récord no fue homologado, pero luego se abrió la mano a los récord de vehículos con cohetes y sin propulsión las ruedas… por decirlo en idioma llano y entendible, valía todo… y así llegamos hasta nuestros días. Bluebird CN7 (1964) 648,73 km/h A Malcom Campbell le siguió su hijo Donald, hasta la fecha el único hombre que ha tenido al mismo tiempo los récords de velocidad sobre tierra y agua… Y otro coche mítico y precioso, propulsado por una turbina de gas pero con ruedas propulsoras y que logró un récord que, a día de hoy, sigue imbatido: El de velocidad sobre tierra para coches de ruedas tractoras. Thrust SSC (1997) 1.227,99 km/h Os doy un dato, ¿os acordáis de “El coche de los 1.000 CV? ¿Te parecen muchos? Pues este daba…¡¡¡110.000 CV!!! Usaba dos turbinas de aviación como las del caza Phantom. Es el récord de velocidad homologado y vigente que lo tiene otro inglés, Andy Green, Andy “verde” que es, además, el primer registro supersónico, con una velocidad de 1,016 Mach, ¡más rápido que el sonido!

Our guest this week is Richard Noble OBE, a man who, in his own words, comes from an extraordinary age when Britain and her brilliant, risk-taking engineers led the world in aerospace developments. His relentless pursuit of success saw him bring the World Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 behind the wheel of Thrust 2 at 633.468 mph (1,019.468 km/h), and 14 years later lead the Thrust SSC team to the first supersonic land speed record. An inspiration to speed racers the world over, Richard sat down with us to tell the story of the Thrust records alongside the trials and tribulations of bringing other innovative projects into reality on land, at sea and in the air - often in the face of resistance from the most unlikely quarters.

As a former Land Speed Record holder, Richard Noble is a member of one of the World's most exclusive clubs. His passion and determination saw him claim the record in 1983 at the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, and 15 years later he was back, this time masterminding the World's first supersonic car (Thrust SSC). You'd have thought that the sound barrier was the final frontier of Land Speed Records but Richard is once again striving to go further; he is now in charge of the Bloodhound SSC Project, which is aiming to create the first 1000mph car and with it, inspire a generation of engineers and scientists.
