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.

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!
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…

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…

Monaco
Hola! As this is Monaco race week, I thought it would be the perfect time to post about my adventures there. Especially that Monaco is such a special, historic racing place and I even chose it to be the header of this blog. The planning of the trip started with me realizing that Monaco doesn’t…

My first adventure – THE Ferrari trip
Hola gente! So as I said in my previous post, my first carventure (just made up this word) was to Ferrari. One random October evening I found the museiferrari on Instagram, and acknowledged its existence in surprise. I know, literally everyone who knows at least a little about Ferrari knows that they are in Maranello,…
