Hidden gem in the English countryside – Haynes Motor Museum
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
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…

F1 Exhibition in London aka Ups I did it again
I have gone to the F1 Exhibition in Vienna, and just because the exhibition moved to London and I also happened to be in London, well, I decided to check it out one more time. Especially because I knew that some of the featured cars are different. In Vienna, it took me 3 hours (even…

The cradle of motorsport
Every time I visit England, I am blown away at the sheer amount of motorsport related activities and places. I should not be, I guess given how many English car manufacturers are based there and all the history and tradition that surrounds England. Yet, here I am – one day wondering where I should go…

My dates with Guenther Steiner
The whole reason for my visiting England was that Guenther Steiner started touring the United Kingdom with this thing called “An Evening/Afternoon with Guenther Steiner” – it is his booktour basically.

With my experience at Red Bull behind me, I felt more confident preparing for the event. Williams’ headquarters is even more in…

This is the story of how I met James Vowles and some other shannanigans… As I am vacationing in London this week, I obviously had to check out the Williams fan zone that is at Piccadilly from the 2nd of July and will be there and open until lights out on Sunday. Naturally, I checked…

I watched Red Bull’s home race at their HQ!
About a month ago I found out from one of Red Bull’s Instagram stories that they hold race screenings at their headquarters in Milton Keynes. I was in the fortunate position that the Austrian race coincided with my vacation in London, so I took it as a sign and promptly booked myself a ticket. I…

Mercedes World in London
I’m heading to London this weekend – to do a bunch of carhappy stuff – you can do some guessing about what and where I will do, as I will be there for 10 days (meaning 2 weekends). Looking at a F1 calendar might help as well, but let’s exclude what would be the obvious…

Silverstone (museum + track)
It seems that I have kind of a pattern with Instagram, because how I ended up in Silverstone is basically the same story as how I ended up in Maranello. Instagram showed me that the Silverstone museum exists, then I looked up where it is, and decided to go. To be fair, I think going…
