Renngineering - a Porsche podcast

Last week, on YouTube, I fumbled my words and was in utter disbelief over purchasing my first Porsche 911! What I didn't say at the time though, is that the love affair was short-lived. Let's just say "it's complicated" and needs a proper explanation. So that's what this episode is all about. Oh and by the way, it gets better. This series was shot all the way through last year so you're getting th...

This week it's a bumper content drop with the 2nd Renn Builds episode going live at 6pm GMT on the 29th October. Alongside that, and because on collecting my first Porsche 911, I was barely able to form words (head over to YouTube to laugh) I figured I'd release a Your Porsche Stories episode. This weeks episode is with someone I managed to have bumped in to at nearly every P-car event I've been t...

Episode 18 | Renn Builds | 3 years with a Porsche Cayman 981 I’m back! It’s been a few weeks and they have been hectic with shoots, so getting editing time has been tough (enough with the excuses I know). But, this week is the first Renn Builds episode which features either any personal project car of mine, and the RENN550. This episode is the origins story of how my 981 Cayman left the stable, ca...

Episode 17 | Your Porsche Story | The Zombieland Cayenne In this episode I have a random encounter with the owner of a Zombieland/apocolypse Gen 1 Cayenne, complete with roof test, lift kit and A/T tyres. Driving through France in July on my epic solo road trip (content coming as a Christmas Special) I barely saw any P-Cars. Then pulling in to Reims Gueux circuit, I see this crazy Cayenne and had...

Episode 16 | Your Porsche Story | Home Built by Jeff In this episode I sit down and talk to Jeff of Home Built by Jeff fame. Jeff's channel has grown dramatically over the last few years and whilst he is incredibly humble, it's down to his energetic style and raw enthusiasm for trying something; anything! I'm a big fan of Jeff's which immediately comes across as I lose any sense of process and get...

Episode 15! Heritage - Frank Cassidy It's fair to say that Frank Cassidy is well known in the U.K. Porsche scene. Whether it's from the outstanding annual event at Boxengasse HQ, Megaphonics, or from his own personal collection of P-Cars, whatever he does, it's carried out with the precision of a heart surgeon. Prior to my Niners Unplugged episode (available on the Boxengasse Niners Unplugged YouT...

Waffle 14! Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.Arriving on Thursday seemed like a sensible thing to do after three years of being there on the main days and this year was a stroke of luck after the downpour of Friday and cancellation of Saturday. For many this will be one to forget, very sadly. That stroke of luck however, led to some really interesting conversations. Nic joins me again on this one an...

Waffle 13! The second of the two episodes for Flat 6 at Goodwood. Barry... What can you say about him? He's a lovely guy and I really enjoy his company. It's very funny hearing him talk about cars he's never seen and has no Porsche community connection to. Everything is taken on face value with impressions. Maybe there's something in that? It's not all roasting cars though. We do get in to some of...

Waffle 12! Finally, Flat 6 rolled around again. The wonderful Porsche event held a Goodwood race circuit, in West Sussex, not Hampshire as I incorrectly said! :D Another busy day with loads of amazing show cars, mixed with enthusiast builds, topped off with a track day. It's a hard one to beat. This is part 1 of 2 on Flat 6. This episode catches up with old friends and new and part 2 is all about...

Waffle 11! We're closing in on this years Flat 6 show at Goodwood circuit and it felt like time to unearth the waffle from our previous visit. There are a few Flat 6 tickets left so don't miss out. It's really a great show. A surprise guest is Henry AKA Moonmiles, and he regales us with his almost VMAX attempt on a rainy autobahn. We also talk about Gustavo, Andy Brookes' recently departed 993.If...

We're back! OK, it has been a little while and this episode explains why. But, there's a renewed energy and focus. I share the reasons for the break and some of the plans for the future. It's also Episode 1 of Your Porsche Stories and I talk to Nic about his fully loaded Boxster S 718. f you'd like to follow Nic, you can do that over on his instagram @nicforbesgeorge If you'd like to support the p...

In this Waffle episode, Paul considers whether the Volkswagen Beetle chassis is the right direction and whether it's just too flawed for the RENN550, 550 Spyder Evocation build on the main Renngineering YouTube channel. Also in the episode is a great case of stumbling on a beauty of a story with Alex Nash's 356A and a 550 Spyder mid restoration. There's a bit of what's coming up event wise, and ge...

In the second part of this three part series, we catch back up with Nathan now he's moved from Radical to Alpine F1. We're incredibly lucky to have someone on the "inside" giving an insight in to what it takes, what the life is like and his golden hot tip for what to do... You absolutely don't want to miss this one. f you'd like to follow Nathan, you can do that over on his instagram @nathanjones1...

In this full length waffle episode, I join Mick in his 2020 Porsche 718 GT4. The first time I've ever been in a 718 GT4, and we chew the fat as we head up to Northampton, home of the world famous Silverstone circuit. We talk about everything from saving orangoutangs to the future of battery tech and what we think will win, EV's or synthetic fuels. We also reminisce over our first proper car as Mic...

In this weeks waffle I pick up the conversation where we left off and talk more about how Chris Harris could have actually been really savvy and it might cost next to nothing to swap his GT3 for a GT4RS. I also give my thoughts on Sam Fane from Seen Through Glass's GT3 collection. I also share my thoughts on Matt Farah's "Strawberry Shortcake" Boxster Spyder. Finally I wrap up on the 992.2 spy sho...

In this episode I say "slide over to my DMs" far too often, give you all an update on my personal car, my 981 Cayman. I also talk about Chris Harris of Top Gear, EVO magazine, his YouTube channel Chris Harris on Cars. You know who Chris Harris is... What does it mean when someone in his position gets a no from a Porsche dealer? What does it mean when typically he hangs on to cars for the long haul...

In this, the first of the waffle episodes, I talk about mental health and how important just getting out and driving is for a petrolhead. These 10-15 minute episodes will come out fairly frequently. As part of Waffle, I'll be doing chats with other Porsche owners, and getting to hear about your Porsche Story. If you're interested in taking part, shoot me a DM over @renngineeringuk on Insta or emai...

This episode we begin to dive in to what it takes to work in top tier motorsport. This is a three part series, beginning with Nathan and his journey from motorsport enthusiast to Formula 1 engineer. At the time of recording, you'll hear Nathan talk about how he's happy with his career at Radical. In part 2 of this series we learn how an opportunity presented itself that he just couldn't say no to....

In this episode, I get to sit down with a Porsche Master Technician from the U.K. based Porsche Specialist, Bahnsport. During this feature length episode, we debunk myths around suspension set up, how to dial in the right geometry settings for your car, but also focus on what not to do! Scott from Bahnsport shares his personal story of how he came to work on cars, and the challenging road from exc...
