Scott Mansell from Driver61 talks to incredible guests from the world of F1, motorsport, racing engineering and business.

    0-1000 mph in 22 Seconds

    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.

    How Students Built a Car To Go 0-100kph in 0.956 Seconds

    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.

    How We Designed a Formula Car to Drive Upside Down

    How We Designed a Formula Car to Drive Upside Down

    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 includes a familiar face, Callum McIntyre, who has been researching, writing, and presenting on our Driver61 and OVERDRIVE channel for the past three years.
    It's a fascinating discussion, and the podcast gets better and better as you get into it. So, this is the Driver61 Podcast, and here's our discussion with Willem Toet.
