Y’all should look into Mussolini’s relationship with auto racing that was going on at the same time, especially with Alfa Romeo. It would be a great follow-up.
@@Disco2004 you’re absolutely right. In fact, Mussolini used Alfa Romeo to produce gifts in the form of cars to give to his political allies and his mistresses.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar They did achieve speeds in excess of 260 mph in 1938. Both Mercedes and Auto-Union. The main problem was that they were perilously close to becoming airborne which cost Bernd Rosemeyer his life.
I think the home videos were more entertaining, cuz of all the random things they would pull out sometimes and all, the backgrounds were really interesting!
If I had a dollar everytime Mercedes dominates in racing due to rule changes to engines, I'd have 2 dollars which is not a lot but it's weird how it happened twice.
So in 1938, in the span of 90 seconds, a guy drove 268.8 miles per hour?!?!?!?! And why is it we haven't SOLIDLY broken through 300mph mark almost 100 years later?
Please do a podcast on the Argentinian IKA Torino and the 84 hour Nürburgring endurance race. Also another podcast on Fangio. A lot of history there. Thanks
If you bemoan the fact that America doesn’t have an autobahn you should check out the turnpikes on the east coast, especially the Pennsylvania turnpike... there’s a speed limit I think, but cops don’t enforce it really
Can we get the Past Gas hosts to eat a whole box of Magic Spoon one hour before they tape? It would be laughs, giggles, snorts and snickers every few minutes.
The Story of Horch and audi is quite interesting, because they are founded by the same Person, a man called August Horch, and so his first Company was called that. But when he startet to disagree with the Rest of the Management, he founded another Company called Audi, which is Latin for Horch.
I love it when you guys do british accents, I'm a brit and it makes me giggle every time! We have great names for things, you should google what "Trump" means over here, quite fitting...
Nolan, could you, would you want to, do a biographical on Lewis Hamilton. I'm stoked about George Russell's performance in the w11. I know you are a fan of Mercedes Petronas unless I'm mistaken, so how about a past gas about contemporary Mercedes works F1 teams.
I remeber having a hand with Elly and Rosemeyer what a crazy time for a crazy couple. You wouldn't believe how competitive they were in the bedroom with their swinger friends lol
Volkswagen did rebrand after the war. The Hitler Era VWs were called the KDF Wagen after the German workers union Kraft Durch Freud or Strength Through Joy. Yes the beetle was the Strength Through Joy Car.
horch was founded by august horch. august horch had to leave his company after disputes with the company leadership. he founded another horch autocompany then lost a lawsuit over rights to the name horch and renamed his company audi. i guess the fact that audi was the company that "won" in the end is just karma
the cup holder to ash try ratio is too high for the Americans to earn an autobaun style highway. Also pulling over during an emergency doesn't happen in north America.

@@pandamoto see the thing about something being a joke is that for it to be a joke it has to actually be a joke. It can't be a factual statement so blatant that to call it a truism is an insult to the concept that the word represents. The other part of a joke, you know, being a joke is that it has to be funny, or clever, or at least generally uncomfortable if nothing else. Your statement is none of these things. Maybe when you said 'joke' you meant reference, and even that is a stretch to the power of itself. I don't know, but I do know that what you said wasn't a joke.

Bruh my heart drops into my ass when I go 125 In my bmw and these absolute animals go faster in open cockpits with tires that have the grip of a baby stroller
No, mph or over 420 km/h. I know its crazy. Thats one reason why i love old experimental/racecars so mutch because most people dont expect things like that.
It’s so nice to see ya’ll sitting together in the podcast!

Last Past Gas of the year and I'm thankful these 3 have been keeping me entertained every Sunday/Monday through this hell that is 2020. Thanks guys.
My favorite automotive podcasts: Donut and Car Throttle.
smith and sniff is better
Great increase in the production value, guys. The video quality is cinematic, looks awesome!
Just for the story: Jean Marie Balestre, president of the FIA in the 80's and 90's, was a member of the french SS at the end of WW2...
@@robertobrien1069 Max’s dad was THE Leader of the British Fascists in pre WW2 Britain, I’m almost certain he was jailed during the war
Going from the somber music to the Past Gas intro was a hard right turn I wasn’t expecting
Laughed out loud at work during the horse bit. Hilarious.
"yeah. dude. tight." I lost it lmfao.
About to hop on the bike for my Sunday ride and guess what's at the top of youtube? Can't wait boys. God bless
I just realized something, THE MERCEDES YT CHANNEL JUST POSTED. Like 5 minutes ago.
Seeing you guys in the same room again makes me happy.
First rule of race club, never go 260mph with Dick Seaman
260 mph doesn't sound right at all. Maybe 260 kmph. Or 160 mph possibly. But no car back then could go 260 mph especially a road car
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar

@@enematwatson1357 no chance in hell. Unless it was a one off top speed type of build
@@enematwatson1357 ok well i was half right. One of kind type of deal. Still extremely impressive and hard to believe.
@@enematwatson1357 that'll tend to happen when you're going 260 in a 750kg car with no semblance of down force 😂

Oh this is about the OTHER kind of Race-ism
Omw up to WA from OR and y’all are just what I need to pass the time
Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one! Thanks guys!
If I had a dollar everytime Mercedes dominates in racing due to rule changes to engines, I'd have 2 dollars which is not a lot but it's weird how it happened twice.
You'd get more money from every time American companies got shafted by nascar rules on things being too European lol.

Excellent episode, guys! Happy to see you in the same room again, even if it makes me a little uncomfortable, too.
This podcast is dopee.. i quit watching most others, you dudez make some magic together..
Stay close i miss these type podcasts
The only risk thats James is mo powah babeh
The comparison for Drake and Hitler was so spot on I spat out my water
Glad y’all are back together. Dial in that lighting. 🤙🏼
Do a episode on racing in the soviet union sometime
What is there to talk about? Just a bunch of poor people racing with other peasants.
@@littlesoldier1985 pretty much but more complicated

A gallon of water is 8lbs and paints generally thicker so if they took the paint off I'm sure it was more then enough to make the weight restrictions.
James doesn't laugh, he giggles
Me: did you know ice cream was first invented in China
Doughnut: I thought it was invented in my DAD”s basement

2:43 James killed the mic
When he said the Volkswagen hitler I thought of a VW bug yelling in German lmao
Do the history on koth king of the hammers or baja 1000
I'm 68% german, but I like to round up to 69%. Lol were all equals. Get it through your heads people. Love past gas 👍
Soichiro Honda episode soon?
We can engineer anything but a hinge.
Lmao
I think they should do one or a few on Craig Breedlove and his land speed racing
Those driver’s names sound like villains from Die Hard movies lol.
Racist
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar not really. Have you seen the first Die Hard?

Audi was cled NSU. It was renamed audi when it was acquired be the Volkswagen group and merged with Auto Union.

broken on 5 November 2017 by Koenigsegg in an Agera RS driven by Niklas Lilja, achieving 445.6 km/h (276.9 mph) on a closed highway in Nevada.
Drake and the Toronto Raptors 😂 great analogy
Thought you guys were mistaking mph with km/h but I'm the one who was mistaking! 268 mph (423 km/h) in 1938. YEEESSSHHH

you should do an episode on Ferdinand Porsche
Are there any movies about this?
Lmao, I can see the little smirks when you guys say certain stuff like "dick siemens came in first" lol an joe looks up and just smiles lmao comedy
Dick Semen was literally flying around some of those race tracks.
Kinda disappointed you guys didn't touch upon the 1935 German Grand Prix and master class driving by Nuvolari
