24th October 2019 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Porsche 917 – Zuffenhausen’s Le Mans and Can-Am Champion, is the third title we have reviewed in the Ludvigsen Library Series.

The Hillsborough (California) Concours d’ Elegance

9th August 2019 by: Martin Raffauf | 3 Comments

The Hillsborough (California) Concours d’ Elegance, on 21 July 2019, has been held for 63 years. It started in 1956 and is reportedly the longest running consecutive (in years) Concours in existence. It is held in Hillsborough California, a well-to-do suburb south of San Francisco. It’s well supported by local companies and organisations, in fact it is put on to support local … [Read more...]

50 Years of the Porsche 917 – Colours of Speed

15th May 2019 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

My 2019 European Expedition had been organised for some months, which was to take in the WEC Spa-Francorchamps 6 Hours (1-4 May) followed by almost a week in Stuttgart (5-10 May). It had not occurred to me and nor had I been informed, that Porsche was preparing its “50 Years of the Porsche 917 – Colours of Speed” exhibition at their Museum in Stuttgart. That's what is known as … [Read more...]

Porsche Graphisme 917 – It’s My World

6th March 2019 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Porsche Graphisme 917: This is Stéphane Coradi’s second publication in less than a year, the man is irrepressible. His enthusiasm for the Stuttgart marque knows no bounds, and combined with a unique artistic talent, this new book is quite delightful. Once again, you won’t learn anything new about Porsche’s corporate history, nor will you find and model specifications … [Read more...]

Hurley – From the Beginning

21st May 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

There are just a handful of racing drivers that can list the number and quality of achievements that Hurley Haywood can. True, there might be more than a handful in total, but within each discipline of the sport, there are just a few that stand out. I won’t risk putting down a list here, because if I leave out the name of your favourite driver, you won’t be happy, but I’m sure … [Read more...]

Can-Am 50th Anniversary

25th April 2018 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

First impressions – Can-Am 50th Anniversary is a big book! It’s not that it is so thick, but dimensionally it is large in length and breadth, so you had best find yourself a nice big, comfy armchair, and settle back for the ride of a lifetime. The publisher’s marketing blurb puts it this way, “Feel the speed in this dazzlingly illustrated book on the over the top, no … [Read more...]

Weissach – Centre of Porsche Excellence

2nd March 2018 by: Kieron Fennelly | 3 Comments

By the late 1950s, the German Wirtschaftswunder was well underway and as the economy grew, so traffic density increased. This was particularly noticeable around Stuttgart often making testing on local Autobahnen inconvenient and it caused Ferry to think about creating his own test track. Thanks to its close relationship with VW, Porsche could always use the vast Ehra-Lessien … [Read more...]
