Maxime Martin and John Edwards are rookies on the BMW Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan team. This past weekend was their first 12 Hours Of Sebring and it certainly won’t be their last. Maxime is 27 years old… …and John is even younger at just 22 years old. John will be driving with Dirk Müller and Joey Hand in [...]
…and the beginning of another. The 2013 running of the 12 Hours Of Sebring endurance race might have heralded the final time the classic event would run under the banner of the American Le Mans Series (after a 15 year run), but the 61st edition signalled anything but the end. The big LMP1 cars would [...]
The timing of the Autosport International show isn’t by chance: early January is the ideal time to sort out the year ahead, and the halls of the Birmingham NEC became the place to be if you were buying or selling – or in fact doing anything to do with – competition cars in the UK [...]
While the rest of the Speedhunters crew freezed their behinds off covering the Tokyo Auto Salon, my face was getting sun-burned and sandblasted as I was covering the Dunlop 24 Hours Of Dubai at the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates. I arrived in Dubai tired as ever after a 15-hour trek from Los Angeles, [...]
What’s your favorite brand of car? It seems a simple enough question, but for the petrol head the answer is anything but. While my particular response will probably vary from day to day, the brand most likely to be named would be Porsche. Although I cannot afford to own one (yet), Porsche is a brand [...]
I have making the annual pilgrimage to SEMA since 2008, but this year would mark my first venture through the Convention Center as a Speedhunter; which meant I had an entirely new agenda. I have to admit that SEMA is typically a week in time that I dread for months prior, but since my focus [...]
There’s no denying it, for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is well and truly underway. For us Speedhunters the summer brings lots of excitement, and with it, plenty of work. While most people are on vacation living the easy life our schedule becomes more crammed than ever which means back-to-back weekend [...]
It’s time for you, the Speedhunters to vote for the Race Car of the Year. Which of these nominees impressed you the most in 2011? Was it: the Red Bull RB7 Aston Martin V12 Zagato Audi R8 LMS Audi R18 TDI BMW M3 GT BMW Z4 GT3 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe SCCA Citroen DS3 WRC Chevrolet [...]
A lot of you requested some desktops from our recent Ford Heritage Collection stories – one person even wrote that they’d never forgive me – so I thought it best to not disappoint you. I’ve included four of my own personal favourites including the Ford GT, Lotus Cortina, an overview of the workshop and a [...]
My earliest motorsport memories all involve Fords. Sitting on top of a stranger’s garden wall as a field of Escorts passed by at full tilt is something that leaves a lasting effect on you. Whether it was the MKI or MKII, the Sierra or Escort Cosworths, I always felt a strong emotional attachment to the [...]
Back in September, I was lurking around the north of London for a few days after the always impressive Goodwood Revival. I love travelling to the UK as I never know what stories I'll come back to Ireland with. It is a proper motorsport country which some of my UK friends seem to forget sometimes [...]
? For all the first-time visitors – drivers and photographers alike – the Slovakiaring has been quite a surprise. Looking at the track map, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's super-sized go-kart track with a bland set of switch-backs on a billiard-table smooth landscape. It couldn't be further from the truth… At the [...]
I'm still not sure if I'm totally sold on the looks of the new Cadillac CTS Coupe, but with the debut of the CTS-V Coupe race car, I can say that it definitely looks pretty tough in track form. GM has released a few images of the car prior to its official showing next week [...]
Lets start with part two of the My Car Show coverage. It was really cool to see that the show floor had cars from all ages and a lot of them were presented right next to each other. In this opening shot you can see a perfect example of this, two rivals from different ages, [...]
When Linhberg posted this random snap I immediately thought about this picture. I had it for ages on my computer and the thought alone was more than enough reason to share it with you. -Jeroen Willemsen
