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 […]

Now that I’m locked inside me HQ because of the bad weather, it’s time to look back on me favourite racing event of this season: Rally TT VODAFONE Estoril – Marrakech which was a part of the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies. In […]
