The King is dead. Long live the King!
Nürburgring has a new record holder!
![]()
Porsche’s GT2 RS record of September last year was broken today by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ by about 2.3 seconds. The new record for the Nordschleife is now in 6:44.97. According to AutoBlog a full video is expected to be presented soon. And it better be a good one, WITHOUT edition like the one Lamborghini made for the Huracán Performante’s supposed record
.
So that means I’ll need one more Lambo for the collection…
The Birdcage
The Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage. A sui geniris car, and very possibly one of the three coolest cars ever to come from Maserati. From a time when it was still possible to make good race cars on a budget. This is one I’ll have to get for the W143 garage.
A very cool 9’42” video from Petrolicious. In fact, if you’re a gearhead (or more properly in this case, a petrolhead) you sure will find some cool and interesting stuff to see there.
The story behind the 1966 Le Mans Ford win – how 8 m changed history
After seeing this you just can’t avoid feeling bad for Ken Miles and a bit miffed at Ford for causing the Mk. II #2 to take the podium
. Still, the best Le Mans documentary I’ve seen this year, bar none.
Emanuele Pirro, Le Mans 1981
Emanuelle Pirro, waiting for the clock to hit the 4:00 pm mark at La Sarthe, on June 13th, 1981. He shared a Lancia Beta Montecarlo with fellow Italian Beppe Gabbiani. They crashed on the 47th lap and had to abandon.
Jaguar C-Type
Is the Jaguar C-Type one of the nicest Jags ever to race at La Sarthe? Very possibly. The 1953 winner is a car that I HAVE to get for my collection

24 Heures du Mans, 1965
Anyone recognizes the gentleman on the right?
Stumbled upon this nice pic on the web while doing research on a few cars and had the mind to share.

Porsche at the Monte Carlo Rally
Some beautiful 911s driven by motorsports legends 
5 min 19.546 sec – The new AWESOME!
A few hours ago, Porsche established a new absolute record for the Nürburgring Nordschleife with the 919 Hybrid Evo. Timo Bernhard smashed the record of 6min 11.3 sec by Stefan Bellof during a practice run for the 1000 Km of Nürburgring of 1983 aboard a Porsche 956. Up until now, that record was thought to be impossible to be beaten.
