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 […]

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 […]

Pagani – Where dreams are built

2025-04-10

For the last day of my trip, I planned only one thing: the Horacio Pagani Museum and Atelier. I didn’t really know what to expect, or how much time to plan as I had never been in a car factory before. Very short summary of my visit: I was mind-blown. I learnt so much, and […]

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 […]

Hidden gem in the English countryside – Haynes Motor Museum

2025-03-05

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

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 […]

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 […]

Stuttgart – the Disneyland of carlovers

2025-01-21

For me, as someone who was a total car illiterate before 2023, it was completely new information that Stuttgart is a paradise for car enthusiasts (let’s not even list how many other things I was clueless about before 2023). It was only last autumn that the Mercedes-Benz Museum landed on my radar. From there, it […]
