959: the supercar of the 80’s
The 959 is without a doubt my favorite car ever. It’s THE car. Earlier this year Petrolicious published this really nice video about it that I’m sharing here.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
