    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

    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

    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

    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. My take on this was that he is hilarious, I don’t even care what he is talking about, even if he just explains how…

  • My visit to Williams

    My visit to Williams

    Now that Carlos has finally announced that he will continue his career with Williams, I feel inspired to share what it was like watching the Silverstone race at the Williams HQ in Grove. With my experience at Red Bull behind me, I felt more confident preparing for the event. Williams’ headquarters is even more in…

    How I met James Vowles and other shannanigans

    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!

    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

    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)

    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…
