It was the sixth consecutive edition of the Leaky Tap – the direct translation of the Kraantje Lek -rally organized by our very own Alex (he of Suixtil Benelux) who rode with his glorious D-Type replica. Thanks to our dear friend Martin, we have both a comprehensive “race report” and spectacular photos for you to …

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.

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 …

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 …
