I can only imagine what we would see if Christian ever got really serious about racing…🤯🤯🤯

Though I was VERY pleased with my Peugeot 307 WRX #7, it had an issue. A TERRIFIC model from AUTOart, but with an incomplete livery 😏. Fortunately I was able to source a decal set and now it looks super. Not the easiest decal job I ever did, but now my model looks much better.

Toyota wins!

Welp, looks like Toyota is back on top again 😎. Despite starting in the back, and a bad performance during training, they slowly climbed up and delivered. Yeah, finishing in first and third, it looks like they still have it. Ferrari, that I expected to put up a better fight, was disappointing. Cadillac and BMW (second place) showed some moments of dominance but just didn’t have what it takes. Genesis and Aston, as expected, weren’t contenders at all. And Alpine and Peugeot? Well, both, as always, didn’t have anything to show (and this was Alpine’s last year)…

In GT3, Corvette came in first (Ben Keating is King), followed by Lexus. I was routing for Lexus, and though they did do a strong race, Corvette was better. In LMP2 Inter Europol brought their two cars in first and second.

Honestly, one of the smoothest Le Mans I’ve ever seen, with almost zero drama. Kind of boring 🤔? Well, maybe you could say that… Nonetheless, even a not-so exciting Le Mans race is always a great Le Mans race 🤘🤘🤘

Seven years has gone by!

Seven years ago today, I posted W-143’s first post. After that, it was quite a few days (and many loooong nights) to get the blog up and running. Yet, blog or site? I honestly still don’t know what to call this… 🤔 Nonetheless, for me it has been seven years of love and joy. And to make this anniversary more interesting, in a few hours we’ll know who won the greatest race on Earth, 2026 edition! At least right now, it looks like Toyota will take the cake…🏁

So, I can only hope for at least seven more years of showing and talking about these fantastic little cars 🥰.

A toast to W–14 3! 🍻

It’s on!!!!

😎
