Parc Fermé
The scene at Les Combes last Sunday morning, two Z4s a 458 Italia, a Vantage and a SLS lie abandoned and broken, like the dreams they once carried.
Endurance racing can be a cruel sport.

Houston, We Have a Problem
Not what you want to see in the viewfinder at Radillon, Alex Buncombe is a passenger as the GT-R heads towards the wall…………and me……………still it gave the commentators something to laugh at,

A to Z
A great day out at Kensington Palace, with a fantastic exhibition put on by Aston Martin………….a gallery later this week but till then, make do with this badge of honour.

View From The Top
The Goodwood Festival of Speed was the usual cornucopia of all things automotive – something for everyone……………..so enjoy the scene. And like England’s cricketers, this post sees the 300 up for us in this first innings.
Flugplatz
Plenty of cars getting airborne on the Nordschleife but one stood above the rest………the Black Falcon Porsche was the star of the show…………….

Art or Sh~%#????
The eternal question for photographers as the conditions on the Nordschleife lent themselves to slow shutter speeds but are we sublime or merely ridiculous?

The Opening Rounds
Lap one and Pedro Lamy flies at the Flugplatz, the Aston Martin was the leader of the pack as Frank Stippler’s Audi had already made a break for it. The conditions that prevailed on Monday were not to the liking of the Vantage and they faded from contention but the guys all gave it a lash when behind the wheel.

Ringside Seat
Nacht und Nebel seems to be the order of the day here in the Eifel Mountains…………suddenly Imola is the place to be.

Shaken and Stirred
Arguably one of the most elegant endurance racers of them all. The suave Martini livery disguising the brutal Ferrari V8 turbo lurking within. The results never matched the promise, but those of us lucky enough to see the LC2 in action remember them with great affection, like a distant love affair from the time when we were young………………an eternal question, what might have been?
