I wrote a book on the history of March, which came out in 1989 under the title, “Four Guys And...
Spring is in the air and historic sports cars are being fettled for the Mille Miglia, except they’re not. They...
Motorsport magazine, which I had the privilege to edit in the mid-1980s, recently ran a piece which claimed that 1976 was the best year in the history of the World Championship. It’s in my nature to argue with any such statement, but I think the writer was right. Had Hollywood...

Every so often you encounter an image which stops you in your tracks. For me it was a photograph of...
I am considering registering my stomach as a trademark. Why not? Damon Hill has registered his eyes as a trademark on the grounds that they immediately identify him.

Throughout the history of man and machine there have been inextricable links between automobiles and airplanes. Henry Ford’s corrugated Trimotor...
These are days of confusion. As I write this, there are either three days left in the Millennium or, depending...
Superstitious? Not even a little bit? Are you one of those ritualistic types that won’t (or can’t) climb into your racecar without first donning your lucky socks, bellaclava or underwear? Do you panic if your lucky penny isn’t in your pocket? Do you make a point of always circling your...
