Get updates automaticallyI have been on a secret mission. I feel a little like Tintin, travelling unexpectedly into unfamiliar territory again, briefed to separate the fact from the fiction. Unlike Tintin, I have no help from the resourceful Captain Haddock.
Anyway, my cover has been blown, the secret is out. Another well known…
After Rob has written something on the Festival of Speed, it seems a little bit of a cop-out to write another blog on it.
However, on a quest to get some words out of the Formula 1 drivers I set off for the top paddock and having inhaled two burgers and…
Things ain’t quite what they used to be.
Historically the question has always been: ‘How fast from 0 to 60, Mister? And what will it do flat out?’
Increasingly, the question is: ‘How far will it go on a gallon of fuel, mate?’
Here at the Goodwood Festival of Speed there is…
Against his will, Paul Tracy is sitting on the sidelines this year, a victim of the fall-out from the reunification of Champ Car and IRL. When reunification finally came late last winter, Champ Car co-owner Jerry Forsythe’s antipathy towards Tony George was such that he decided he would not run…
Isn’t life strange?
This week, in the sporting headlines, we have Schumacher the cyclist and Rooney the runner. How long before Hamilton the hurdler?
Stefan Schumacher pulverised the opposition in yesterday’s Tour de France time trial at Cholet, a full nine seconds quicker than the pre-race favourite. Sounds familiar for a Schumacher.

After a quick perusal of my past blogs, it appears that when I haven’t been shamelessly plugging various products and events, I have been doing some fairly dubious reporting on racing in Scotland.
Blogs are here to be controversial, to raise questions, to promote discussion and above all, be ‘light reading’.…
I am an armchair expert, of the kind as described by Ron Dennis in the afterglow of the 2008 British Grand Prix. I did not watch the race from my armchair but in my expert opinion what I saw was the kind of virtuoso performance that will be spoken of…
As Lewis Hamilton went out for his final qualifying run at Silverstone, the message over the radio was firm: ‘Don’t over-drive!’
On his previous run he had done just that, and had run off the road, and into a spin. The lurid tail-out style was wonderful to watch, but Lewis looked…
There is something in the water in Northamptonshire. We have been advised, by Anglian Water, not to drink their product from the taps. Good news for suppliers of the bottled stuff but bad news for some mechanics from Red Bull Racing who, allegedly, did not hear the advice in time.
And…
I’m off to Watkins Glen this weekend for an IndyCar race and because I haven’t been there in sixteen years I’m very much looking forward to it. Back in the seventies and early eighties I used to go to the Glen two or three times every year to cover Can-Am,…
