GALLERY>> SENNA TRIBUTE AT AUTOSPORT
Ayrton Senna. A name that still reverberates around the modern era of Formula 1 – a hero to even some contemporary Grand Prix drivers, but a villain to others. The release of the award-winning Senna documentary last year has brought his name back into the headlines, and given everyone a chance to relive his career [...]
CAR SPOTLIGHT>> BRM TYPE 15 MK1
If you heard this car, your life would be forever changed. The gaping maw of the 1950 BRM Type 15 hides its 1.5-litre engine – in itself nothing special, but then, like with the Formula 1 turbo cars of the 1980s, there is 1.5-litres and 1.5-litres. This particular 1.5-litre tiddler is a V16. As ever [...]
COLLECTABLES>> FORMULA 1 – THE PAPERCRAFT VERSION
At first glance this looks like an ordinary Formula 1 model, however it’s actually built entirely from paper. When most people think of papercraft, the first thing that pops into mind are those polygonal cutouts that you print out and tape together. This isn’t your typical papercraft model however. A labour of love, it was painstakingly built [...]
EVENT>> LOTUS DAY JAPAN 2011 – PREVIEW
It's been a long wait; well over a year to be precise. The Lotus Day at Fuji Speedway was supposed to be held last September but after a strong typhoon ravaged Fuji Speedway and two of the access roads leading to it, there was no alternative but to cancel the event. It was decided to [...]
POLL>>SHOULD OPEN-WHEEL CARS HAVE CLOSED COCKPITS?
The tragic loss of Dan Wheldon in a horrific Indy Car crash in Las Vegas has prompted lots of discussion about motorsport safety. More specifically the safety of open-wheel race cars. Even before the crash there has been talk of using enclosed, fighter jet style canopies on Formula 1 cars in order to better protect [...]
More...NEWS>> THE F1 CONSTRUCTORS’ CROWN
It was bound to happen. After Sebastian Vettel claimed back to back Formula 1 Drivers' World Championships in Japan, it seemed like only a matter of time before Red Bull Racing would also stitch up the Constructor's Championship. And that's exactly what they did in Sunday's Korean Grand Prix. Although McLaren were able to finally [...]
More...GALLERY>> RED BULL F1 CONQUERS THE WORLD’S HIGHEST ROAD
The Khardung La road in India winds its way up to a staggering 18,380ft. Arguably the world's highest driveable road, it's probably the last place you'd expect to see a Formula 1 car. The Red Bull Racing team however, are somewhat used to bringing F1 cars to places you'd least expect. Through their Running Showcar [...]
CAR SPOTLIGHT>> SENNA’S MCLAREN MP4/5B
The 1989 Formula One season was the first season where the cars returned to the now traditional normally aspirated engines. Forced to abandon the incredible 1.5 litre Honda RA168E twin-turbocharged engine – which made an astounding 900BHP – the Woking team needed a new car to accomodate the new 3.5 litre Honda RA109E V10 unit [...]
MUSEUMS>> THE DONINGTON GP COLLECTION REVISITED
It’s been over three years since a Speedhunter last set foot inside the world’s largest collection of Grand Prix cars, so when passing Donington one morning in August, I couldn’t resist dropping in for my own first visit. I’ve been to Donington a couple of times in the past for Prodrift and JDM Allstars events, [...]
GALLERY>> RUNNING THE BULL IN INDIA
When you think about Formula 1, there’s a few key factors that instantly cross your mind: the cars, the drivers, the glamor, and of course, the exotic locales. And if there’s one team that exploits the exotic locale factor the most, it is the Red Bull F1 team. Earlier this year, the team was in [...]
DESKTOPS>> FORMULA 1 AT NIGHT
Formula 1 at night is truly stunning. You see things that you wouldn't otherwise: sparks, the drivers' eyes and glowing brake discs. If you weren't able to attend this year's Singapore Grand Prix, held at night on the streets of Marina Bay, then head on over to our Desktops Section. Post-race: the marbles on a used [...]
BEHIND THE SCENES>> THE FORMULA 1 PADDOCK
The Paddock. Formula 1's inner sanctum. With perimeter fencing and security tight enough to rival an airport, this part of F1 is rarely seen. It is here that the F1 drivers, teams, media and VIP celebrities mingle. If you've ever wanted to know what goes on inside the Paddock, hopefully you'll enjoy this behind the [...]
EVENT>> F1 TASTES THE SINGAPORE SLING
Although I've now landed on the other side of the world, I can still hear the banshee scream of Formula 1 cars. My ears are still ringing. My heart is still beating rapidly. And I'm still grinning. The fourth Singapore Grand Prix had it all: racing under lights, a picturesque waterfront backdrop and a healthy [...]
