Twice Around the Clock: The Yanks at Le Mans

Working for Porsche in Stuttgart in the 1960s Part I

13th March 2020 by: André Loubser | 10 Comments

For two years in the early 1960s, South African André Loubser had the time of his life, working not just for Porsche in Stuttgart, but for Huschke von Hanstein, one of the most colourful figures in the company's history.

Grossmutter 718 W-RS Spyder – one of a kind

13th December 2019 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

The word unique is a much-overused word today, as it is applied, it seems, to just about anything that is produced in small numbers, or even just to enhance a claim about something unusual.

The Le Mans 24 Hours started in 1923, … [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...]

Dan Gurney 1931-2018

15th January 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Dan Gurney, the well-known racing driver, passed away on 14 January 2018. Where does one start with a driver like Dan Gurney? He was an inspiration to many, admired by both rivals and friends alike, and an all-round good guy. His racing achievements are so numerous and his victories so varied, that it would take a book to do them justice. But under that tough, competitive … [Read more...]
