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…

Driving a 250F. With Fangio
Not for the faint of heart, Il Maestro rips aboard a Maserati 250F!
John Wyer’s 1970 Gulf Porsches
A fantastic 33 minute film showing race footage from the 1970 World Sportscar Championship. Historic films from all the 10 races of the season, plus some insights about each race by John Wyer himself!
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.

When Porsche built aircrafts
Sent to me by a dear ex-Porsche fan friend. After the kind-of-rough landing Zuffenhausen killed the let’s-build-an-airplane idea.
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.
Chevron B36
One of the really cool things about Le Mans is that you can see some really wacky cars . Like this Chevron B36 from 1987. Piloted by José Thibault and Alain Heinrich, it had to abandon after only 18 laps.
Unfortunately, this one is not available in 1:43.
One of the coolest Le Mans’ car stories EVER!
This one was totally new to me. Doing some research on a certain car, I came upon the story of the Whittington Brothers. Courtesy of VINWiki, if you have 10 minutes to spare, sit back and enjoy .

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.
