  • The Sebring dispatch

    February, Florida – you know what’s coming, don’t you? It’s Sebring, of course – a race that has lots of meaning for us, given that – back in the year – all our heroes competed there and fought clean battles over the incredible tough course of this old military airport. It’d be interesting to check …

  • 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 …

  • BAM! Our Dave does Sebring (again)….

    We bet you know the infectious song, the one that goes “Oh yes, it’s good to be the king” –  well, figure that our Dave, 6-time SVRA champ and BARC Boys founding member (and Suixtil Ambassador for more years than we care to remember) knows a thing or two about the feeling. This must be …

  • A Labor (Day weekend) of love at Lime Rock

    So it was that the Labor Day at Lime Rock was a double (and some) feature this year: Mariano, our Suixtil USA distributor, was there with a superb and properly appointed stand. He also, these things cannot be helped, brought a race car (see the opening photo) along, because, you know. He had a great …

  • Schloss Dyck von Trips memorial – a Concours & demo drive well worth the trip to Dusseldorf

    It had been a few years since we had attended the Schloss Dyck event and we were surprised to see how much it has grown in the interim. The landscape has been reshuffled to accommodate a larger population of cars, a bigger line-up at the Concours (while the settings remain as grand as ever). The …

  • Glorious Nürburgring Classic

    Of course the track is  not what it once was, of course the spirit that animates those exhibition races is not quite the excitement that once presided over the proceedings being held here. And yet, if anything, the cars have grown more even beautiful with the passing years and their owners ever more determined to …

  • Escuderia Suixtil

    Suixtil in action, then and now. After the rebirth of Suixtil, it took time and considerable effort to bring the brand back into the public eye, to let the world know that we were back in action. With a little help from friends all over the world, the Suixtil decal has wound up on a …
