London

Brooklands for the second time

2025-02-21

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 […]

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 […]

F1 Exhibition in London aka Ups I did it again

2024-11-09

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

2024-10-23

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

2024-10-15

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 […]

How I met James Vowles and other shannanigans

2024-07-05

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 […]

Mercedes World in London

2024-06-24

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)

2024-06-10

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 […]
