The WEC race at Monza in July will be absolutely crazy!

Those of us who watched Wayne, and Kevin’s epic battles in the US Superbike championship, especially in 1987, knew how hard those two raced each other. Hard but totally clean & fair. Huge mutual admiration & respect between them that continues to this day.

Iconic rider & subject, the late eighties-early nineties 500cc two strokes were some of the most ferocious racing machines ever built. Traction control back then was in the riders hands & feet. The ‘93 German GP at the old Hockenheim was a typical slipstreaming knife fight we used to see in ...

Beautiful build, bravo! Such a iconic livery!
There should be a thread simply about favorite 956/962 sponsorship liveries. My personal favorite is the Brun Torno color scheme.

The 1982 racing season as a whole was epic, besides the F1 season, we had the debut of Group C in sports car racing, a epic Indianapolis 500, the dawn of Group B in rallying, Franco Uncini’s magnificent 500cc title in a dramatic Moto GP season (which included the debut win for a young Freddie Spence...

There is a terrific book available called Didier Pironi, The Champion That Never Was. The author did an amazing job researching this bio of the enigmatic Frenchman. He had a bizarre upbringing, where his mother is also his aunt (it makes sense it you read it). Didier led complicated relationships wi...

I’m looking forward to seeing this at some point. I always felt that Didier was very unnecessarily vilified by what happened. In 1981 there was the Jones-Reuteman episode at Rio, then in 1982 there was Arnoux-Prost at Ricard, all far more blatant ignoring of team orders than what went on at Imola in...

I applaud Mr Hiro for his passion for the sport, and his love of modeling, but sometimes I personally question his subjects if he is really interested in making a profit from them. The Lotus 88 never raced, it was a clever idea to skirt (no pun intended) the 1981 ban on sliding skirts, as was the un...

The B194 was arguably the most butt-ugly F1 car of all time, including that hideous blue-green livery. Money stays in the checking account if it’s that
creature!

Matra blue!
