F175 – because I have been there
2025-02-19
Even though I tried my hardest (like recruiting my family and also me sitting at an airport waiting in the virtual line), I didn’t manage to get a ticket for the F175. Yet, as a F1 history junkie, I had to be there, this being a once in a lifetime thing (or at least the […]
Hockenheim
2025-01-23
My second day in Stuttgart didn’t actually take place in the city itself. Thanks to ChatGPT, I found out that if I’m interested in motorsports, I could visit the Hockenheimring. Reaching the track was another adventure involving a skillful combination of two trains and a bus. By the way, Stuttgart seems to have countless different […]
Stuttgart – the Disneyland of carlovers
2025-01-21
For me, as someone who was a total car illiterate before 2023, it was completely new information that Stuttgart is a paradise for car enthusiasts (let’s not even list how many other things I was clueless about before 2023). It was only last autumn that the Mercedes-Benz Museum landed on my radar. From there, it […]
Hidden gem in Hungary’s countryside: Kaáli Auto Museum
2025-01-13
I don’t exactly remember how I first heard about the Kaáli Auto Museum. What I do know is that it immediately went on my must-visit list, but I wasn’t really sure how to get there without a car (which is probably the biggest contradiction in my life as a car and motorsport enthusiast—I don’t have […]
Brno
2025-01-03
I like to say that I have a special sense to find all the F1 related places in any city, but that is only partly true. Whenever I find a specific place that interests me I put a star on it on Google Maps, so whenever I’m nearby I can remember it. My other secret […]
Turin – land of cars, home of FIAT
2024-12-28
Visiting Turin has been on my list for a while, mainly because of their car museum (MAUTO), but then I also learned about their heritage in car manufacturing. I haven’t really checked anything before booking my flight (except flight prices), that’s how I ended up accidentally arriving on the day of the Abu Dhabi GP. […]
F1 winter break survival tip 1 – Adrian Newey’s book
2024-12-17
Adrian Newey is an engineer and he writes like an engineer. (If you don’t know who he is, well, he is the most successful car designer in F1 history. His cars won several championships, both drivers and constructors – in the color of Williams, McLaren and Red Bull, the latest one being the 2023 Red […]
Terramar – The forgotten track of Spain
2024-12-02
I don’t know what is so attractive to me in old, abandoned racetracks (so attractive indeed, that with this one, Terramar, I can check the 3 oldest racetracks in Europe on my list) that I keep trying to find new ones and visit them. Someone told me that when I visit Barcelona, I should give […]
Should you watch the Senna series?
2024-12-01
I have been waiting for this series ever since I knew that it was coming. I am not a particularly big Senna fan – I think it is because I haven’t lived through his career, and don’t really have emotional ties to him – but as I am searching for who could be my F1 […]

2024-11-25
Someone has asked me recently if I could give her some good tips for F1 gifts. Well, I could! 😀 So here is my list, these are all tested things that I have either bought or I plan to buy, and I’m sure they would me great Christmas presents to any F1 fans. As a […]
