As the 2010 Grand Prix season beckons, most of my acquaintance are agreed that it’s been a very long time since we anticipated a year with such relish. Schumacher back… Alonso at Ferrari… Button with Hamilton at McLaren… four World Champions in the pack… the prospect of four highly competitive… Read more

A classic Daytona win
February 1st, 2010 | Gordon Kirby | No Comments
This year’s Rolex 24 hours at Daytona produced a similar result to last year with a Brumos Porsche winning from one of Chip Ganassi’s two cars, but without 2009’s drama when Juan Pablo Montoya battled fiercely with David Donohue. The closing hours of this year’s race were disappointingly flat as… Read more

Will Ferrari come calling for Kubica?
Renault – in more ways than one – has had a poor time of it in Formula 1 over the last couple of years. True, Fernando Alonso returned to the team, after a single season with McLaren, but even the world’s best driver can do little with a fundamentally uncompetitive… Read more

Having never attended a British Touring Car Championships event, two of Motor Sport magazine’s very own motoring protégés headed to Thruxton to enjoy a day of fast cars and tight bends as Airwaves BMW Team showed Victoria Newell and Jennifer Carruth behind the scenes at the second round of the… Read more

Pironi – on a par with Prost?
Dear Nigel,

No doubt many of you have gone on driving experience days before and, as I’m sure you’ll agree, some are more successful than others.
Parting with £100 is one thing, but when you end up with only three laps of the track and a sandwich for lunch that even urban… Read more -

BMW Magazine is a smart, beautifully designed and intelligent publication that comes through your letterbox if you own one of the cars from Munich.
I do not own a BMW but I have been reading the latest edition of the magazine. A friend of mine, soon to take early retirement… Read more

New year and a new world for F1
January 8th, 2009 | Rob Widdows | 2 Comments
The start of another year may find you feeling a little ramfeezled. I borrow this wonderful word from the great Scottish poet Robert Burns who was no stranger to the hangover after a night on the whiskies of his birthplace.
But it may not be Christmas and New Year revelling… Read more -
Grand Prix Special – Monaco – Practice 1 and 2
May 22nd, 2008 | Ed Foster | 2 Comments
The Formula 1 circus has come to Monaco and so far, apart from a few gentle brushes with the walls, the whole grid has managed to complete the opening two practice sessions.
The forecast is for rain and what better race to have it at than Monaco, when none of… Read more -
Mechanics, Monaco and memories
May 19th, 2008 | Rob Widdows | 8 Comments
First, a note of thanks. Last week I was talking about mechanics – you know, the guys who get all the messing around and none of the credit. I was hoping that a few of these chaps would get in touch and, guess what, they have.
