This podcast is a conversation with Ralph Hogenbirk, Dutch Drone Gods, where we talk about how Red Bull recently raced a Formula 1 car against a drone - and it wasn’t just in a straight line, it was around the Silverstone circuit - one of the fastest tracks, with the fastest corners on F1’s calendar.It’s a circuit where Formula 1 cars are very much at home, a track where they’re 42 seconds a lap faster than a McLaren Senna. But, in this race, the drone was WAY faster.
This podcast is a conversation with Stephen Mitas (Technical Project Lead) to understand exactly HOW the Porsche was faster than F1, and smashed a 35-year-old Nurburgring lap record.It’s crazy stuff, they took their already, extremely fast LMP1 car, and made it over 12 seconds faster at Spa -- that’s 11%, a huge amount in motorsport.
This podcast is a conversation with Rosco McGlashan who is trying to break 1,000 miles per hour on land. He has so much passion and grit for motorsport and engineering, that I think he might just do it. I spoke to him to understand how he has gone from a rocket-powered, 250 mph go-kart to designing a 200,000 horsepower vehicle with the potential to break 1,000 mph - and the engineering behind it.
This podcast is a conversation with Willem Toet, Ex-F1 Aerodynamicist, about the hypothetical question, what would you do to the aero of an F1 car if there were no rules?F1 or motorsport with no rules, is something that engineers dream about, and the questions have been asked before, we'll cover all of this during this conversation.
This podcast is a conversation with Eloi Roset from team AMZ Racing, who recently broke the 0 - 100 kilometres an hour record, launching from a standing start to 100 kph in 0.956 seconds. We break down how the team designed and built the world's fastest-accelerating car and the challenges they ran into. Eloi explains the details of the aerodynamics, suspension, powertrain and tyres, and it’s a fascinating conversation.
This podcast is a conversation with Willem Toet, an ex-F1 aerodynamicist who worked at Benetton, Ferrari, and Sauber, and is now working with us on Project Inversion - our project to prove that a formula car can drive upside down on the ceiling of a tunnel.In this podcast, we talk about how Willem approached designing a car for such an unusual project, how he developed through 38 versions of the car's design, and how we're protecting the driver, me, if it all goes wrong.The podcast also inclu...
In today’s podcast, I talk with Formula 1 legend, David Coulthard. David raced in F1 for 15 years, gaining 13 victories and 62 podiums. We spoke about what it was like driving during vastly different F1 regulations, driving the two-pedalled McLaren and which lessons from F1 have helped him become successful in business.
In today’s podcast, I talk with Formula 1’s digital presenter, Will Buxton. Will is a true motorsports fan, with a huge passion for our sport. We talk about when he travelled to every European Grand Prix in a campervan, when he got to drive a 2012 Lotus F1 car and why he enjoys Indycar so much.
Today’s podcast is with ex- Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley, who has recently launched the Electroheads eKart race series. We talk about democratising grassroots motorsport, what an F1 race engineer actually does and how to set up an F1 car.
In this podcast, Scott Mansell talks with the ex-head of aerodynamics at Benetton, Ferrari and Sauber F1 teams, Willem Toet. We talk about taking hacksaws to F1 cars, how he helped run the first sub-2-hour marathon and taking an F1 car to the Bonneville salt flats to reach 400kph. This was a great conversation and it incredibly interesting to hear Willem’s stories.
In this episode, Scott Mansell speaks with Veloce Racing CEO, Rupert Svendsen-Cook. Veloce bridge the gap between eSports and racing, running multiple pro-eSports teams and in the new Extreme E series.
Today’s podcast is with ex-F1 driver and Sky Sports F1 presenter Karun Chandhok. We talk about what it was like driving classic Williams F1 cars from the 90s and the 2019 Mercedes F1 car, as well racing in India and Karun’s new role designing circuits around the world.
