Il Maestro drives the Alfa Romeo 158/159 “Alfetta”, one of the most gorgeous vintage F1 cars. Honestly, if F1 cars nowadays looked as good as this I would watch a race or two…

“Le Mans” crash
Without a doubt, I’m here today because of Steve McQueen’s “Le Mans”. I think I first watched it in 1976 or 77, and the film really marked me. It’s the sole reason why I love so much the 917K and why I like Porsches in general. And the same reason why Ferrari will never be my favorite brand – the 512S was not the “hero car” 
.
Mostly filmed during the 1970 Le Mans race and released in 1971, you just can’t compare the quality of the film to something modern. But back then, Michael Delaney’s crash really impressed the kid that I was:
Now I know that my beloved 917K was not harmed, since they used a Lola T70 GT Mk. III disguised as Delaney’s Porsche. Seems like even back then a 917K was much more expensive then a T70. But that film was what got me interested in race cars and Le Mans in general.
Think I’ll have to watch it again 
Driving a 250F. With Fangio
Not for the faint of heart, Il Maestro rips aboard a Maserati 250F! 
Le Mans, 1963
Quite different from how it is today…
THIS is a nice place to visit
Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Without a doubt high on my bucket list of places to visit in Germany.

Silberpfeile
To drive a car that was basically an engine and a fuel tank strapped to four wheels over 300 km/h… And to do that while wearing a white overall and an aviation cap (but with goggles) as safety equipment? 
Balls of brass. No, better: steel. That takes balls of steel.
Cadillacly Cool
For the 1950 edition of the 24 Heures du Mans, Briggs Cunningham took two Cadillacs to La Sarthe, a Coupe de Ville and the famous Spider “Le Monstre”. Without a doubt one of the most awesome duo of cars to ever race at Le Mans

Le Mans 1990
Porsche 962C #6, driven by Jean-Louis Ricci, Henri Pescarolo and Jacques Laffite. Only managed 14th place, but has an AWESOME livery.
And I have one .
