  • How They Built a Drone That Beat an F1 Car | Ralph Hogenbirk

    How They Built a Drone That Beat an F1 Car | Ralph Hogenbirk
    Apr 16 2024

    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.

    When Porsche Built a Car Faster Than F1 | Stephen Mitas
    Mar 28 2024

    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.

    The Man Who's Building The 1000mph Car | Rosco McGlashan
    Mar 14 2024

    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.
