Impossible Journey: Peking to Paris, 1907 (With Kassia St. Clair)

The early days of the motorcar were troublesome, frustrating, and most of all, adventurous- if you agree that "adventure" by definition means there's a chance of risking life and limb. And why else would mankind attempt what might seem like folly or futility, other than for the excitement that adventure brings?Such was the case with the 1907 Peking to Paris Motorcar Challenge, a stunt invented by a Paris newspaper and embraced by a motley bunch of daring automobilists: 8000 miles across tractless wastes and deep mire, pushing men and machines to the limit.Kassia St. Clair has written a rousing account of it all entitled "The Race to the Future: 8,000 Miles to Paris - The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century".And now, she's here to tell you about it. Support the showHELP us grow the audience!

Racing "Le Monstre" with Derek Drinkwater

Car builder, fabricator, collector, entrepreneur, TV presenter and racing driver are but a few of the things you'll find on Derek Drinkwater's resumé. He's always been interested in cars but one the really captivted him was the slab-sided Cadillac Series 61 special entered by American  Sportsman Briggs Cunningham in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was unlike anything ever raced at LeMans, and the Americans were certainly a spectacle.It was a fairly stock 1950 Cadillac custom-skinned by Grumman Aircraft Company of Long Island, New York, and when the French race fans saw it, they dubbed it "Le Monstre".  The nickname turned out to be a sign of affection, and the 331 cubic-inch V8 powered beast finished eleventh overall (its sister ship, a stock Series 61 coupe was nicknamed "Petit Pataud", or "Little Clumsy", finished tenth).Derek has now raced his Le Monstre replica at Le Mans Classic, Daytona Classic, Laguna Seca, Road America and Watkins Glen. In Part One of the story he tells how he built it and began to fettle it on the track.FOLLOW DEREK on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/derekdrinkwater48/Support the showHELP us grow the audience!

Ferrari On Film with Robert Nagle

Over twenty years ago,  director Michael Mann began to think about bringing the story of Enzo Ferrari to the silver screen. It's probably the most anticipated film of 2023- a look into the personal life of  the notoriously private Enzo (played by Adam Driver) and his wife Laura (Penelope Cruz), framed by the backdrop of the 1957 running of the Mille Miglia: the grueling thousand-mile Italian road raceWhen it came to capturing the thrill and brutality of racing on film, there was only one person Mann could trust with the task:  stunt coordinator Robert Nagle. Robert's resume is impressive. He's an Academy Award winner, and the maestro behind car stunts in films like Baby Driver, John Wick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Gran Turismo, Ford v. Ferrari and more.In this episode, Robert takes us behind-the-scenes of Ferrari and shares his insights on the art of driving fast on film."Ferrari" clip courtesy NEON Productions (copyright 2023).SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=horsepower+heritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE IS NOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/TargaStorioSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comhttps://www.drivetowardacure.orgFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

Don Nichols: Inside NASA

There are few men left who could sit down and give you a detailed first-hand account of the entire U.S. Space Program. Don Nichols was a NASA insider who began his  career during the Mercury program (the first manned U.S. space flights) and retired while the Space Shuttle was still the world's dominant form of manned orbital flight. Nichols worked on Cold War era fighter-interceptors, the X-15 rocket plane, the guidance system for the Pershing missile,  and all the way to the mighty Saturn rocket that pushed the Apollo capsules to the moon as if it were the hand of God. Nichols was a player in America's cutting edge aerospace technology for decades. This conversation is a fascinating and detailed breakdown of man's greatest achievement: the conquest of outer space.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=horsepower+heritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE IS NOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/TargaStorioSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comhttps://www.drivetowardacure.orgFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

The Auction Insider- with David Gooding

There was a time when you could find a slightly scruffy Ferrari 250 for sale in a tiny ad at the back of your favorite car magazine- at an asking price of a few thousand dollars. Today, those same cars change hands under the bright lights of an auction tent, and the whole car world is watching them command millions of dollars. It's a big business, but it wouldn't exist without the seemingly boundless devotion of buyers eager to own and drive these machines. "What price glory?" they might say.David Gooding is the founder of Gooding & Company. He's been an enthusiast, collector and purveyor of the world's finest automobiles for decades. In this episode, he returns to the show to give an insider's perspective on a year's worth of auctions, highlighting some particular cars and what makes them great- as well as some insights on valuations, buying and selling, and the sometimes unpredictable moves in the market.Visit Gooding & Company:https://www.goodingco.comSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=horsepower+heritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE IS NOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/TargaStorioSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comhttps://www.drivetowardacure.orgFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!
