Le Mans 2021 – The Movie
A few weeks ago (October 4th) FIAWEC posted on their YouTube page an almost hour-long recap of the 2021 24 Heures du Mans. And dummy here only found it this morning 😣. Better late than never, I guess.
I am going to watch it tonight, on a big screen TV.

Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este
Last week (October 1st to 3rd), on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy, happened the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The event takes place annually on the grounds near the Villa d’Este hotel in Cernobbio. It usually happens in May, and is possibly the most famous of all the world-class Concours d’Elegance. Petrolicious, as always, wrote a great essay on the event, with some SPECTACULAR photos.
If you want to drool a little, it is worth checking out the link.
2022 Hypercar
On the 24 Heures du Mans’ official page today they posted an article with all the brands that will participate in the Hypercar class starting in 2022. From Acura to Toyota, the list is quite long. And to be honest, until now, I wasn’t aware of all those manufacturers. Of course there’s a long road ahead until we arrive at Le Mans next year, however things do look good.
