OK, OK, enough waiting already! I finally got to the Ring this afternoon and after attending to the various admin tasks had a quick run round the paddock. It did not take long to locate the Badass Boyz............Gazoo Racing and their Lexus LF-A........... Cute cartoons there may be on the car but the carbon fiber bodywork and the low profile makes
Any colour as long as it is blue..................that's how qualifying ran at the LMS Spa race today. Not entirely unexpected a Peugeot was fastest, in fact it was debutant, Simon Pagenaud who snatched pole position. 2:01.056 was good enough to nose ahead of Alexander Wurz in the other Peugeot, so an oil burner front row. There is a feeeling around
The FIA GT Championship starts the season this weekend with the Tourist Trophy at Silverstone. Also on the menu is GT3 and GT4. We have the pleasure of bringing you the work of David Lister who is keeping me honest. He had a stroll round the paddock and pit lane today here is some of what he saw. This is the grid for the first FIA GT3 Championship race
In all the excitement of last week's R35 GT-R announcement the first round of the LMS held at Barcelona got shoved to one side. A gentle reminder from Rod pointed this out even though he is up to his neck in Long Beach..............so here we go.

Doom and Gloom, Boom and Bust, Fire and Brimstone, Credit and Crunch..............but while things are bad, life, even in motorsport, goes on. The Dakar Rally may be on the wrong side of the Atlantic but still the competitors struggle through deserts. Autosport International will doubtless be a muted affair compared with recent years, but our leader

After the squabble about who pays for the liquor subsides, it is common for a rowdy discussion to ensue on the merits of drivers down the age........was Senna as good as Fangio, Petty versus Gordon, Loeb and Kankkunen........
My first taste of Time Attack in the UK came last weekend when the circus came to the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit. I have already featured the Zen Performance Impreza on SpeedHunters but the Sainted Editor, still in steamy Japan, requested a gallery feature on the Pro Class event. So it would seem appropriate to start with the car that ran a consistent
Hundreds and Hundreds of cars to choose from at the Goodwood Festival of Speed…………what was your top 12 asked the Sainted Editor? Well ask the question tomorrow and you might get a different answer but this morning my whims lead me this way………in no particular order. Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the
The Goodwood Festival of Speed attracts some of the coolest cars on the planet and some of rarest. The Cartier “Style et Luxe” exhibition had two sub themes that combined these two qualities, cool and rare. Titled “Dawn of the SuperCar” and “The Shape of Things that Never Came” the participants drew crowds who appreciated
...Well maybe but so it would also appear is the appeal of James Bond or 007 as he is known in the trade. This year sees the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming, author of the original books and ex-naval intelligence officer, and to celebrate this there was a small exhibition on the lawn of Goodwood House amongst the Cartier Style et Luxe Concours
