    Formula 1? That’s for the faint-hearted…

    It’s no secret that many current Formula 1 drivers have the utmost respect for rally drivers. The fact that they can be quick on any type of surface over an event that lasts days rather than hours, is something that many people are in awe of.

    Whether it be the wintry…

    Autumnal delights

    Suddenly it is September, the end of summer, and already autumn is here. In my part of the world the harvesting is nearly done and the leaves are turning.

    September brings two great events on the motor racing calendar, two weekends to cheer us up before the trees are bare and…

    What little difference 50 years can make…

    It is quite amazing how little racing drivers change. They could have stopped racing 10 years ago, but put them in a car on a track today and I can pretty much guarantee you that they’ll have something to say about the car setup or the tyre pressures or even…

    Goodwood mania

    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…

    Paul Tracy at Goodwood

    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…

    Come rain, Goodwood will shine

    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.

    Flag Art at the Festival of Speed

    Having recently gone to visit Jason Bruges, an artist who previously trained as an architect, I wrote a small piece in the latest edition of Motor Sport about his artwork that Veuve Cliquot is showing outside their marquee at the Festival of Speed.

    The basic principal is that there will be…

    Competition

    You may well remember that I recently wrote a blog singing the praises of Kangaroo TV. Well I have since been to Le Mans and can report first hand that it is, and I am sorry for sounding slightly gushing, utterly brilliant.

    With access to two sets, I could spend my…

    Watch out for Giuliano Mazzuoli

    Last week, Motor Sport was invited to the Italian designer Giuliano Mazzuoli’s latest watch creation launch at Bibendium on the Fulham Road.

    The Contagiri (Italian for rev counter) (top) was shown to me by Giuliano (above) earlier that afternoon and what a smart watch it is. The first 50 will be…
