Celebrating the centenary of Le Mans at the Classic? Yes please!
Of course, that was the main reason of our (and about 200 thousands of you as well) visit – the latest edition of Le Mans Classic. Last year (a COVID – remember that – catch-up) was a blast, but could the event sustain the same blistering pace 2 years running? well, the answer is a …

Back for more – Peter shows his F1 testimony where it really matters…
Do you know what’s truly best, when you are a distinguished F1 photographer: the long seasonal break, of course – and the ability to escape to warmer climes too – as Peter, our friend and Danish Ambassador has just done.

The Goodwood Revival through the eyes of a pro…
This is as much an exercise in psychology and science – investigating the “too much of a great thing” paradigm – as it is an homage to our friend (and, of course, German Ambassador) Günter. He manages to capture both the essence of an event as special as the Revival without losing any of the …
