148 - Power and Speed - Vince Tiaga - Powertrain Lead for the Corvette Racing Project

Author: Readington Digital June 5, 2018 Duration: 1:09:57

Corrected audio 

Mike, Tom, Tad, and Dave Localio in studio

OK, we can all thank Dave Localio for getting us connected with tonight's guest.  We have talked to a ton of people in serious forms of racing, but this takes serious to a new level.

We realize we have listeners from all different areas of motorsports but this is one any performance minded person should be interested in.

Vince Tiaga, the lead powertrain engineer from GM's Corvette Racing project, joins the show calling in from France.  Why France?  Because Corvette Racing just completed pre qualifying for the 24 Hour of Le Mans race to be held June 16-17.  

Yes, that Corvette Racing.

Vince explains his path to the GM Corvette Racing Project, and some of what goes into running these types of events.  We talk about everything from powertrain to the actual events themselves.  This one is a must listen. 

Live again next week Tuesday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.  Call in number 908 751 0211.  Live callers welcome, and this will be the line for giveaways.

Hosted by Mike, Tom, and Tad, The Power and Speed Podcast digs into the raw, unfiltered world of automotive performance, where those two concepts reign supreme. This isn't a polished studio show; it's a garage conversation that roams wherever the scent of racing fuel leads. One week, the discussion might dissect the engineering behind blistering runs at the Texas Mile, and the next, it could drop you into the gritty, spontaneous atmosphere of local street and grudge racing scenes. The podcast regularly features voices from across the racing spectrum, from top-tier professional drivers to the master builders behind the engines and chassis that make extreme performance possible. You'll hear technical debates, personal stories from the track, and passionate explorations of whatever racing subject has the hosts' attention that week. Brought to you by Readington Digital, each episode is built for those who understand that in the pursuit of going faster, the details-and the people-are everything. Tune in for a genuine, wide-ranging take on the culture and mechanics of speed.
