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 […]

Britannia Metal

I think I got seriously lucky with ACP’s Classic British Sports Cars event (originally called “Passeio dos Desportivos Ingleses”) which took place in the small town of Batalha in central Portugal. I have to admit I’m not really familiar with the whole British car industry thing […]

Roar On, You Crazy McLaren

A couple of years ago I took a few photos of the 1978 McLaren F1 car demonstration run in Estoril; for some reason I never used those photos, so now’s the time. The car looked futuristic and it sounds slightly weird, because modern F1 cars are […]

Something in the Noise

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

RF1 Roadshow – Then and Now (Wot’s Next?)

GO Jérôme!

11 Things Likely 2 Happen in 2011

U2 will record a version of “Where the Streets Have No Name” called “Where the Teams Have No Name” especially for Tony Fernandes. Jérôme d’Ambrosio will score points in 2011 for MVR (I’ll eat my hair or run around any circuit in Spain or Portugal […]

(Eccle)Stone Free

Yeah, me little droogies, I’m bored to death with X-Massa and Nu Ear celebrations – life without (watching) racing is hell. However, here at Iberian offices we weren’t wasting our time and next month we’ll be ready to rock at various circuits. Cameras are recharging […]
