Episode #55 Tech Talk | Wrightune! Aircooled engines and choosing an engine for the RENN550

Renngineering

A big personality from a big man!

Some episodes you listen back to and find yourself smiling a big dumb smile. That's what this episode did.

Partly because it was so useful for me to learn about air-cooled Porsche engines, or at least start that journey but also because he's such a good laugh to be around.

You'll hear us talk about Chris and his dad's background in racing, including a Jacky Ickx Le Mans winning engine build, Chris's own motorsport career but also how he's part mechanically minded and part artisan. Like a BFG sized Roald Dahl.

Chris takes me through the pro's and con's of all the different eras of six cylinder P-car engine and what to consider before almost coming to a conclusion. Almost.

No doubt we'll debate it further as things develop, but for now at least it's food for thought.

Bonus easter egg for the OG's that wait for the post credits.
