Phoenix Grand Prix, which became for a short instant D.A.R.T. Grand Prix, is some fascinating story surrounded by a lot of mystery. Even after 25years, it is not clear in what form the team eventually existed. Rising as a Phoenix from its Prost Grand Prix ashes the team disappeared before it even arrived on the […]

Het is weer Juni, tijd voor de Historische Grand Prix op het circuit van Zandvoort. De eerste dag zit er weer op. De zon scheen, het geluid van V12s, V10s en V8s galmde weer door de duinen en door het pitcomplex. Keer op keer kippenvel, was het niet de Lotus van Nigel Mansell was het […]

Oh boy what did I felt old when someone told me these just days ago! I mean, it feels like it was five years ago when Aguri Suzuki announced it. I believe it was in late 2004 when the plans were unveiled to debut in 2006. Is it really twenty years ago when this all […]

In 1935 zou het dan zover zijn, de eerste Nederlandse Grand Prix zou verreden worden op de Autorenbaan in Heerlen. De eerste schop moest nog in de grond gezet worden toen de eerste problemen al op de loer lagen. Hoe dan ook in maart 1935 was men er heilig van overtuigd dat het circuit gereed […]

It’s March 1995 when a new team appears on the starting grid for the first race of the season. It’s the championship winning Forti Corse team that will try their luck in the Formula One. Similar to the unraced DAMS design the car looks outdated before it even drove a single round around Autódrome José […]
