We are huge fans of grass-roots racing here at Iberianmph.com and so is Tony, The Sage visits regularly his local venue – Valencia, Circuit Ricardo Tormo – for a healthy dose of petrol and on-track action. Noisy cars or bikes, just what the doctor ordered! […]
& voilà, photos from day 2. Stay tuned for expanded commentary & unbeatable punditry. To be updated. I say yes, you say yes: here’s my update from the kitchen. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed following this whirlwind on-the-run F1 testing of 2019, it’s fast, […]
We carry on with our series of photo reports from Barcelona Formula 1 winter testing, courtesy of Diego Merino and Clarksport. Notable absence from the paddock during test 1 was none other than the Daytona 24 / Rolex 24 winner (he got only one watch, […]

Formula 1 first pre-season test being the main reason for Diego’s trip […]
