Uprisings

[facts-i-just-made-up]

The term "Horsepower" didn't originally refer to engine output, but to stickiness. Cars aren't as old as glue.

330 P4

In 1966, Ford humiliated Ferrari at Le Mans, shattering the Italian marque’s dominance with their GT40s. Enzo Ferrari, famously proud and deeply wounded by the loss, vowed revenge. Eight months later, at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, he got it.

With the memory of Le Mans fresh, Ferrari unleashed the 330 P4, a machine designed to reclaim their legacy. As the sun began to rise after 24 hours of grueling racing, a sight burned into motorsport history unfolded: two Ferrari 330 P4s, driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Chris Amon in the lead car, alongside Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti, crossed the finish line in perfect formation. Just behind them was the third Ferrari, a 412 P piloted by Pedro Rodríguez and Jean Guichet, completing their podium sweep.

This wasn’t just about victory—it was Enzo’s revenge. A stunning rebuttal to Ford, and a message that Ferrari would always rise. The Prancing Horse had regained its honor, and Daytona became the stage for one of the most legendary moments in motorsport.

Here's a little something eclectic: some obscure and less popular Disney characters. How many can you recognize?

Horace Horsecollar, specifically his incarnation from the never-made TV series Maximum Horsepower. This series was proposed in the 90s for the Disney Afternoon, but was never greenlit. It's too bad; I think it would have been a really fun series. Here's the original pitch reel by Tad Stones (creator of Darkwing Duck).

Gopher, from Winnie the Pooh. Prior to his cameo in 2023's Once Upon a Studio, Gopher's last animated appearance was in 2005 in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (and even then, it was only archive footage from 1996's Boo to You Too!). Gopher's only other appearances were in the Kingdom Hearts games. I'm not sure why Disney used him less and less, but it's nice to see he wasn't entirely forgotten.

Stinky Pete (The Prospector) from Toy Story 2. Pete was never exactly my favorite character as a kid, but some time ago I heard that there was an old character interview where Pete claims that he's happy with his new owner Amy, and really enjoys her decorating his face. I think it's the most adorable thing ever and I'm glad I finally got around to drawing it. (I've tried to find this interview, and I could have sworn I saw it years and years ago, but the only one I can find is this one where he's his child-hating self from the movie.)

Gurgi, from The Black Cauldron. I loved him as a kid, and that feeling never went away as I grew up. He is a brave and loyal friend and deserves all the munchies and crunchies in the world.

Buzzy, from the former EPCOT attraction Cranium Command. I unfortunately never got to experience this attraction (or even EPCOT in its prime). The attraction closed in 2007, and sat abandoned for years. The animatronic of Buzzy was reported missing in 2018, with little explanation of what happened to him. Here's a couple of fun videos on the subject. #JusticeForBuzzy

Terry and Keiko (the video chat friends) from the 1994 Jeremy Irons iteration of Spaceship Earth in EPCOT. I don't expect many people to recognize these characters, as they were removed in 2007. They weren't even moving animatronics, just still figures. But I think their friendship is super adorable, and it's neat to imagine technology that can instantly and accurately translate your dialogue into a foreign language. You can see Terry and Keiko here (at 12:23).

Feeling kinda proud about this one ngl

ALSO I made this university’s project using the present drawing and I can’t add all of it, however, these were my favorite pages (it was kind of like a song book centered in 16 Horsepower's songs (the obsession persists) and tbh I was too stressed to really work on it so I just added stuff I had finished and called it a day)

It's under the cut btw!!

saddest girl in the whole world (just had a mechanical dnf in the last race of the season after riding most of the race in severe pain due to a fucked up finger and fighting valiantly for a single point, without which he will now finish third in the championship behind dani who is about to win the race)
