Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening.
Sorry, just returning to normal life.
Well, how was it for you? How did we judge the first ever Grand Prix race to be run at night?
To have been there must surely have been a thrilling experience, especially in such an intoxicating city, a place that combines…
If you had to name a marque that was totally immersed in racing you might say Ferrari with it’s Formula 1 exploits and F430 racing, or maybe Porsche with its LMP2 car and countless 911 racers. But then there’s Audi, McLaren of course (but I consider this more a racing…
