ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as backto back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Did you know?
I actually didn't know any of this and I went to the Nascar Hall Of Fame in Charlotte! Thank you for the education! :D
@Ed Jack It's already out and racing
Most of it nope , despite studying engineering and doing Formula SAE, so thank you
@Ed Jack Not used in the Monster Cup series.
Go Joe !!!
I love how this is actual fact and not clickbait.... you went there, you filmed it and you explained it like you would to the village idiot(myself). none of this photo slide show and Microsoft sam... This would have taken a huge amount of time, and special access to film and edit so I thank you
What you said, and I can't even watch Nascar when bored, but I still appreciate this
I designed the Koolbox Chill!! Happy to see it get a mention here. We did a lot of work to bring the price down, and drastically improve the performance (>30% more cooling than previous generation, with less power consumption). This little box will blow a healthy amount of air into your helmet at up to about 30 degrees F lower than the ambient temperature. It is personal AC that weighs 6 lbs, has no coolant, literally the only moving parts are two fans. The technology was originally developed for the space shuttle program. The Chill is a bargain at $2k.
I can't believe this comment doesn't have more likes.
Hmm how do u get below ambient if there's no phase change typed thing happening
@@asddsaaassddd using Peltier modules, which are quite interesting! Basically you apply voltage to them and because physics they create a heat gradient. The more air you blow over the hot side, the more heat you transfer away, and the colder the cold side gets. They are less power efficient than a standard two-phase heat exchanger, but save weight by not having a heat transfer fluid and compressor.
@@morganmiller93 that's cool
"Who do you work for"
"Umm, a TH-cam channel call PapadakisRac..."
RDS Alphard hahaha I was laughing at this, he’s so humble he doesn’t even pull out the, ‘oh hey just me NHRA/Tuning legend’
@@dadubbydrummer Yeah, I was actually thinking for myself: who the hell in the car environment does not know who this is ... He is a legend, but still soo humble
I was lucky enough to meet Stephan a couple years back when he came out to NZ with Tanner Foust for some drifting, He seemed like such a down to earth guy and just one of the regular crew. He also seemed rather surprised when a random kiwi knew his name and requested a photo with him haha
...3sec later they took him into the backroom beating him senseless 😄😄
Gave me a laugh too. "Who do you work for?"
Was hoping to hear "the other guys"
Crew member in blue...
"Thats a real nice One there, Whatcha got... Who you work for???"
Camera shuts off then . You gotta respect the talent great job.
Def some neat tech, particularly the engine temp fact, never would've guessed.
Nascar mafia: Who you work for? XD
I love these type of informational videos!
Absolutely.. like the Top Fuel drag car engines are held on there with fucking hose clamps.. 10,000hp and 4 goddamn hose clamps hold that thing in place hahaha
i have just started watching these videos and i notice a lot of comments about how Stephen is a legend in the industry so for us noob's i think we need a - 10 things you didn't know about Stephan Papadakis.
Google it. Not hard to find out
@@followthegrow108 Thank you captain obvious. That was an idea for a video for the channel. :
@@followthegrow108 Sure you can google it. Would it not be cool to hear it from the man himself?
@@followthegrow108 hahahahaha
Nice one. :D
Not a big fan of anything NASCAR or related but I have always loved great engineering, technology and innovation.
Cheers for this great information package.
Really enjoying this series.
I’d love to hear a 7 things you didn’t know about pro drifting 😁
swat1229
Bruh, Iv always thought how cool/bad ass it’d be if you converted a NASCAR stock car into a pro drifting machine... A man can dream can’t he??
@@the_road__warrior6185 Ryan tuerck is swapping a 2jz into an old nascar just because he can lol
Drifting is ghey.
Thank you. Interesting stuff. I have been following NASCAR since the mid 1980s. And while it is not Formula One, I think NASCAR needs to talk more about the cars and the technology in them.
The cars do have AC, they often don't use it so they can allocate the power elsewhere. Several drivers got heat sickness at the 600 last week
Reallly
The cool box systems aren't technically air conditioning systems. NASCAR rules do not allow for any pressurized gasses on the race car. And an additional note about the tape on the grilles, the teams know EXACTLY what will happen if they cover a certain number of holes on the grille. They can adjust how the front turns with this tape. You can hear crew chiefs call out on pit stops, "2 holes of tape" and that will have a dramatic affect of the overall handling.
@Ed Jack if you have any questions, I have a NASCAR rulebook and experience in the sport.
I can only imagine what those head gaskets go through... 290.. ridiculous
They are semi metal, Just as a lot of tuned streetcars.
Usually all metal. Just multiple layers of stainless or other metals.
@@donogoobo9992 didnt think it was necessary to say that but yes.
290 isn't that impressive, Lewis hamilton's race engine reached 1000+ degrees celsius during the Brazilian GP in 2018 after an exhaust problem, they managed to bring the engine temps down to 980 degrees celsius after turning the engine down which allowed him to continue running.
@@azzifyy5988 it was more than likely Fahrenheit because aluminum melts at 1200°F ... 1000° C is 1832°F ... engine would've failed immediately...
while i'm not a HUGE fan of nascar, i do appreciate the tech they use in those cars. the only nascar race i've ever been to was the talladega 500 back in 1985. back then the race cars were much closer to their production counterparts.
also, i remember some years ago how a nascar car was put up against another type of race car (i'm thinking some european type, maybe a le mans car, cant' really remember) and they raced them around an oval track. many people said the le mans(?) car would kill the nascar car due to its higher level of technology. but the nascar car wound up winning. when asked how, the nascar guys said something like, "it's a brick, but it's a very streamlined brick" (can't remember the exact quote). but the real reason was the nascar car was built for a singular purpose, to go fast around an oval. while the other car was not. sure the other car was plenty fast, but it was built to be fast on road courses/street circuits.
I was at the very first Talladega 500 race way back in 1968 I believe. I was like 7 years old...lol.....We sat in the infield and my mother wouldnt let me out of the car. The sights were unbelievable what people actually did in the infield back then. Alot of Debauchery !
3:50 Not only to cool the engine down, removing tape can serve as a handling adjustment too.
Love me some NASCAR, great to see a video with some insight on the tech. I always found it interesting when they had small segments telling the audience about the cars during the race.
Can I also run our drift engines at 300 degrees F temperature? 😁
You made NASCAR interesting for five whole minutes Steph! Lol.. Nice work, thanks!!
Nascar is interesting in person and tech wise. Watching on tv is a snoozefest
Jared disagree, if you know what you are watching it is entertaining as hell. These guys are on the edge of disaster non stop
This is my favorite content on youtube! I dont much watch circle track or drag racing but the tech in the pits and the question "WHY?" is what I pay admission for, I can spend more time wondering pits than the event lasts. I love that you cover the basics as well when going how it all works. Many things are so elementary that no one ever talks about them and people who are not formally trained miss all those facts! KEEP THIS UP!
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. You actually made nascar interesting!!
The legacy and personalities of NASCAR make it way MORE interesting. Check out the stories of Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Wendell Scott, etc.
Not a Nascar guy, but racing is racing and those chaps are the best at what they do.
Very interesting and informative.
Steph this is so cool. Thank you for sharing all this! All of your videoes amazes me.
Absolutely enjoyed that! Totally love nerding out on thoroughbred race cars like these! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for these videos, they are so informative. I'm not huge on NASCAR but I have an appreciation for everything that goes into racing and builds, my favorite science.
I was just about to sleep.....but this is more entertaining. Thanks!
cnknguyen ... cool, I’m doing same, however I’m staring with ,1 eye-blink per minute, at my girlfriend for hours...
good info, very interesting stuff. pretty cool to get an inside glimpse. thanks, and keep it up!
awesome man i been watching nascar for 11 year and i did not know some of the thing you said nice job keep on
I really enjoy these informative tech/engineering videos. Keep it up! Thanks
Lol Blaney’s pit crew member was ticked!
iv bn a racing fan for over 30 yrs, NASCAR nhra IMSA F1 Indy, idrc...etc. true facts, some are older technology vastly improved, great work! go AEM yellow Civic!!!
Literally love this channel not a single video yet has not taught me something even small stuff. Keep it up.
very informative and highly interesting. love the behind the scenes close ups pictures of the cars being worked on by the teams and technicians. time for Dodge to come back and re-enter the NASCAR fray. hopefully 2020. greetings from a german NASCAR zealot.
So glad things are listed in description! Still watching!
Love seeing stuff like this!
I think everyone needs to give Nascar a chance if you haven't watched a race in a while. The new package Nascar has come out with this year has produced a lot of amazing racing all season long. The sport went through a long slump, but I promise you it is coming back strong. The Coca-Cola 600 last weekend was probably the best Coca-Cola 600 ever seen, much like the racing at Kansas a couple weeks ago. This season we've seen the closest racing we've seen consistently since the glory days of the 90's - mid-2000's. Turn on a race one Sunday afternoon, you may be in for a pleasant surprise if you haven't watched the sport for awhile.
Really enjoyed your content keep up the great work
I really appreciate the effort you put into these vids, really interesting content, keep it up👌🏽💯🔥
great video!! Thanks Stephan!!!
Awesome video, please more!! And the clip at the end was funny. When trying to not act shady causes you to act shady as hell.
It's so inspiring that NASCAR has stayed so close to their roots, and to see real factory made cars striped down and built back up and into stock car racers.
Once again, a top notch video!
Very interesting!
Daaaamn Papadakis bout to rumble with the pit crew!
Pretty crazy a lot of those guys don’t know who Papadakis is.
Man these are the videos I watch youtube for. This is awesome work, you hit the nail, NASCAR doesnt care at all about putting their tech on display. Makes me sad.
Great video! Thanks for posting
Love this format!!
Great content, keep up the good work!
Great video! Really enjoyed this!
Solid video, man. I appreciate your curiosity!
That was awesome!
Thanks man!
This was pretty damn cool. Thanks for the upload!!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing :)
Great content!!
2:39 The great 3 american muscle
Wait a camry?
RIP to all dodge challenger/chargers. Youve been replaced.
wanderingbufoon Well Dodge pulled out of NASCAR so....
@@H3boy well NASCAR pulled out of NASCAR a long long time ago.
Great video Stephan.
Good job👍👍👍👍
awesome content as always.
Good info for someone who is starting out following. If you regularly follow NASCAR, you know this stuff. Nice video.
Awesome! Love the tech!
Super nice, awesome! Thank you very much!
I’d always wondered how they kept the engines running so hot, and in hindsight, the pressure answer makes a lot of sense, but it hadn’t ever crossed my mind. Great video!
You are in my yt recommendations and im not complaining! You are a master of your craft sir
Great video mate
Awesome video!
Cool ! thanks for sharing !
Very informative,great footage and awesome presentation,they were,t gonna let out any secrets were they,who do you work for😅🤣thanks to all for doing this vid.👍👍👍💪💪❤💯🧨🧨
Great video, great information.
Priceless informations ❤️
Currently the best car content on youtube. Please put out more!!
I love this nerdy tech side! Way cooler than the racing has become over the last 5 years!
NICE VIDEO, thnks..... I didnt knew about the 3D scan
Binge watching right now.. who would've thunk that a no BS straight to point car channel would be so much fun to watch.. 👍👍oh yes.. an easy subsribed
Thank you for the info. Now I know a little bit more. Thank you once again...
Short video, very informational. I likey!
Loved it!
Good concise content
Glad you weren't disrespect toward NASCAR
Great video just have learned some new things
These videos are super cool, facts presented without any bs
Great info. Never been a fan of Nascar but this makes it much more interesting.
So much complexity being pulled out of such a simple race. Very cool.
Great teaching vid👍
This is the first time I ever found actual information in a video with such a title - well done!
Thank you papadakis !
Best garage !! Liked !
Best racing channel for us nerds
Great info👍
Awesome info
This was informative and entertaining
This is awesome!
Really enjoyed this! Every event I go to, I'm all about the tech and it's always like pulling teeth😅
very nice! thank you
Your such an inspiration
Wow that's really interesting stuff. Not a NASCAR fan at all, but they really do have alot of tech that goes into the cars and the race in general😯
Excellent presentation. Your content is superb as always. Thankyou! 👍
Damn Interesting! Never knew! Thank you
Finally a new papadakis video!
