1981 Ralt RT3. Photo: Peter Collins If you were racing a Formula Three car between late 1979 to the end of 1984 there really was only one car to choose—the Ralt RT3. Designed by Ron Tauranac, the Ralt RT3 was a class apart. From its first appearance in 1979 to its...

1925 Bugatti Type 39. Photo: Mike Jiggle There is something very special about a Bugatti, and this example is very special indeed. Highly original, this race winner from the 1925 season has lived nearly all of its life “down under” in Australia, and has only recently found its way to Britain,...

Over the last 27 years, the Italian Car Day at the Brooklands Museum (May 4, 2013) has grown to become not only the UK’s top event for owners and admirers of all things Italian, but also the largest gathering of Italian cars in the country. Anyone arriving in any Italian...

It is interesting to note that the two most iconic constructors of Italian road-going sports cars—Ferrari and Maserati—only grudgingly began offering Grand Touring cars in the 1950s.

It’s wrong to call Baconin Borzacchini the “eternal second,” as some motor sport historians do. Sure, he came 2nd in quite a number of races, but that’s very much to his credit, not his detriment. And he also won a lot during his short life. Events like the 1930 Grand...

While boasting more than 40 entrants, the 1953 Australian Grand Prix looked to be a three-man race: Whiteford, Jones and Davison. The smart money, however, was on Stan Jones, in the 4.3-liter Maybach, as he had convincingly defeated the Talbot-Lago of Doug Whiteford just six weeks before. Lex Davison certainly...
