	John Nikas: Racing, Writing and Rants	23 Jul 2025	01:53:20
Few people speak more passionately about cars than John Nikas. He's a longtime vintage racing driver, an author of dozens of books, and a sought-after public speaker on automotive subjects. His first love was for British sports cars in all their crudeness and stubborn tradition, but that was only the gateway to a lifetime spent behind the wheel and the writing desk. In this conversation, John shares his thoughts about things like old MGs, the folly of the original Porsche 911, the heyday of Lotus in competition, some giants of racing, and the state of the car culture.

In 1961, Ferrari entered the mid-engine era of Formula One cars. They were a little late to the game but the Tipo 156 vindicated itself in dramatic fashion, with Phil Hill winning the Driver's Championship that year.

Brandon Hegedus is a car builder from Calgary Canada who singlehandedly built a stunning 1962 iteration of the Ferrari Tipo 156 in his garage.

	Behind the Scenes News	17 Jul 2021	00:02:01
Here's a quick update on how the massive overhaul of Apple Podcasts affected many shows in the library. You've probably noticed that the Apple Podcasts app looks very different now, and it's gained a whole lot of convenience and utility for users... but there were still bugs when it was released in late April. You may have noticed problems as a user. But for podcasters, but was an absolute nightmare! All through the month of May, weird things were happening: shows disappeared. Episodes went into oblivion. Downloads plummeted by 30 per cent. So here's what you can do: scroll through Horsepower Heritage page on the Apple Podcasts app, and if you see any episodes that are unplayed, it could be that they were missing before but have since been pushed to the app. If you have any issues, go to horsepowerheritage.com , click on the "Contact" button, and let me know what you've found.
