A full day of carhappiness – Visiting the Beaulieu Motor Museum
2025-08-20
I do not know where the super high quality of British museums comes from, but wherever I go in that country, I’m simply mind-blown. The Silverstone Museum, the Brooklands Museum, the Haynes Museum are all on the top of my favorite places list, and now the Beaulieu Nation Motor Museum has joined them. Even after […]
Visiting the shrine of motorsport in Barcelona – Chelsea1979
2025-08-16
During the week of the Spanish GP, I had the privilege of visiting the private car and motorsport collection of Eduardo Costabal called Chelsea1979. I have found out about it through instagram and given how exclusive this collection is – in every sense of the world – I didn’t expect to find him so relatable. […]
Spot the merch! – fun trackside F1 bingo
2025-07-25
If you are trackside for a Formula 1 Grand Prix, I have good news for you, I made a bingo sheet for you to have fun while spotting different merch! You can just look and cross off your findings and race your friends on who is going to have the first bingo! Or you can […]
Land of Austrians, home of Red Bull – Visiting the Red Bull Ring
2025-06-23
Writing about my visit to the Red Bull Ring has been long overdue – I was there on the May 1 long weekend, and yet we are in the middle of June… But at least, it could be a nice intro for the Austrian GP, I guess. My worst track visiting habit was in play […]
Something to add to your Netflix list!
2025-06-20
If you are once again just browsing Netflix to find something to watch, but nothing on your list seems appealing and whatever you start seems boring after 5 minutes, I have a recommendation for you! F1: The Academy is similar to Drive to Survive, but focuses on the 2024 F1 Academy racing series. You don’t […]
Pagani – Where dreams are built
2025-04-10
For the last day of my trip, I planned only one thing: the Horacio Pagani Museum and Atelier. I didn’t really know what to expect, or how much time to plan as I had never been in a car factory before. Very short summary of my visit: I was mind-blown. I learnt so much, and […]
A Motorsport Pilgrimage to Imola and Faenza
2025-04-07
One of my earliest plans going back to Bologna was visiting the Imola track. It was even on my vision board for this year. I felt that it was a very special place – and it did not disappoint! Imola is a classic Italian small town, except it has an international racetrack. I arrived there […]
Run like a Ferrari – Enzo Ferrari Memorial Run
2025-04-03
I am not a runner – I always hated it, running after a bus made me fight for my life and was not able to run for 1 minute straight. So imagine this: a person like this signs up for a 5K run. It is a true story, though and I earnestly started to train […]
Hidden gem in the English countryside – Haynes Motor Museum
2025-03-05
I will be honest with you, I had no idea who John Haynes was before I went to the Haynes Motor Museum. If you are the same, don’t worry, we’ll come to that a bit later, but for now, let me just tell you this museum is 100% worth checking out – I highly recommend […]
Brooklands for the second time
2025-02-21
I make mistakes while I travel, but I hardly make the same mistake twice – so this time, I showed up a few minutes before opening at the Brooklands museum and planned to stay all the way until closing. I have been there before, so now I didn’t have the urge to check out everything […]
