This weekend the Historic Grand Prix was at Circuit Zandvoort. A weekend with screaming V10s, mourning 500cc Norton and Jap engines. The brutal LeMans classics, the sound of pre-war roaring Grand Prix cars. The perfect weekend. However, there was one thing that bothered me from the moment I entered the pits complex and saw the […]

Dit weekend was de Historische Grand Prix op het circuit van Zandvoort weer gaande. Een prachtig event dat bol staat van de historische autosport, van Formule 1 tot de oude vertrouwde 500CC Formule 3 wagens.

Originally, Pacific Racing, later known as Pacific Grand Prix, planned their debut in the Formula One in 1993. Michael Bartels was the driver for the team and they came this far as a seat fitting. Even sooner, the dream shattered and their debut would be put on-hold for another year. In 1994 the team made […]

Last year the Formula One came for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Oh boy little did we know what eventually would happen during that weekend. What I predicted with a cynical laughter happened, how was this even possible? The bombs felt next to the circuits. Because of a conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. […]
