Fine traditions, that’s what we’re all about – along with a few other values. It was therefore quite a unique pleasure that Mariano, yes, he of Suixtil USA, was able (again) to both setup the Suixtil tent for friends and aficionado alike to come and trade stories, and get some track time too. In keeping …

Race Week in Monterey – it’s so great to be back!
The reasons were good and many but the reality is that there is simply no possible replacement for the pleasures supplied in inordinate volumes by a full dose of race-week on the Monterey peninsula. Picture this: the events, the cars, the friends, the racing, the auctions, the action, did we already mention the friends? In …

The “drum brake series” goes racing at Oulton Park – a dream come true
And so it came to pass that the drum brake series we had introduced to you back in May just had their second outing – at Oulton Park – with your brand still associated with the whole exercise. Still held under the banner of the very kind banner of the HSCC, the most badly afflicted vintage …

Back at Le Mans Classic – an ode to joy
No, we are not thinking about Ludwig von, but yes, we got back to Le Mans Classic after a (too) long, COVID induced, interruption. And yes, it was everything we hoped for – and more.

A(nother) great day at the Museum
Count us – and, by extension, you as well, lucky – we have just been able to take another trip to the great museum of the Automobile Club de L’Ouest – the custodian of the 24 hours of Le Mans. It was, as could be expected, a treat, with so many cars and moments encapsulated …

The Vernasca Silver Flag keeps getting better (if that’s even possible)….
Back to its regular programming in June, audiences have once again gathered to celebrate everything motorized in Piacenza (between Milan and Parma, for reference), for that for the Vernasca Silver Flag. This was in keeping with a long-established tradition, while, at the same time, staying nicely under the radar so that the gathering still has …

Our friends from Hagerty do it again – in Greenwich this time!
In another classic case of “success breeds success”, our friends at Hagerty have demonstrated once again their knack for putting together events that people love. Not only that, but these turn out to be true magnets not just for afficionados but also for new comers to the (dare we call it that) hobby – if …

A brand new (ah!) racing series and your brand is associated with it – glorious we say!
Count us lucky – or have we asked you for that favor before? We are so fortunate – having preached the Suixtil gospel for a while now, our friends Pia and Tony, yes them from the Historic Racing Repertoire, approached us with an offer we couldn’t refuse (no animal was armed in the process though): …

Hard racing and great fun at VIR
It could be wondered why we would make space for photos of Dave, our friend and US Ambassador, having a good time racing Nazdar (his trusted, but at times capricious, 2002) at VIR, all of 80 years young, hooking up with an old friend and jumping in his ride for a stint at an Enduro …

Another, the 5th now, glorious edition of the leaky tap 😉
Because things are different in the Netherlands, Alex (our Dutch distributor) is able to enlist aficionados in the middle of the winter. Whether it’s because they have known him for so long, thanks to the participation and support from Octane NL or because they all enjoy some masochistic traits somehow (to brave such a biting …
