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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
