I’m back! Back and ready. I must admit this trip was a lot of fun and I have never seen Jerez being totally packed with people for testing! It’s all coming in a separate blog soon. I’d also like to thank Lotus Renault GP for their positive […]
Year: 2011
Off to Sherryland
Uncle Iberian is absolutely delighted to announce his departure in the Iberian-mobile to Jerez de la Frontera in Spain where the second session of Formula 1 winter testing is about to begin. Here I’m supposed to thank my sponsors (and express more delight) but it […]
Hello Expomoto
I am a motor racing enthusiast, have always been. It’s just that sometimes the mountain comes to Uncle Iberian, and sometimes Iberian must go to the mountain (or as Vitaly Petrov would say “must to go”). With EXPOMOTO bike show in Batalha (central Portugal) the […]
Motorsport Can Be Dangerous
You wake up in the morning looking greener than Shrek just to learn about Kubica’s horrific accident in the Ronde di Andora rally. It’s a tough one to swallow… I was looking forward to taking some photos of Robert testing with the new Lotus Renault […]

Something in the Noise
This morning I was picking my nose in a very unhygienic way and thinking about the so-called noise factor in motor racing. I came to the conclusion that I’m seriously obsessed with S2000 rally cars (like the Ford Fiesta S2000 or the Peugeot 207 S2000) […]
Danger! High Voltage! – The Curse of KERS
2011 marks le return of KERS to the wonderful world of Formula 1 racing… I’ve never been a big fan of KERS myself because it’s a fairly confusing and complicated system (pretty irrelevant too). I witnessed the growing pains of Ferrari and McLaren in Portimão first-hand when both teams […]
RF1 Roadshow – Then and Now (Wot’s Next?)
Yeah, my quest for truth has taken me to the centre of Lisboa (also known as “Lisbon”) this week where I had a lovely chat with a couple of local bureaucrats who managed to demonstrate to me that without them I’m nothing. In the process I […]
