Taking their inspiration from classic European events, the organizers of that great Australian party certainly have brought together many of the best attributes that make these successful – from a well thought-off itinerary through the popular Yarra Valley to multiple regularity challenges, track time (of course) and superlative food (and drinks, why not?) stops in …

The Gran Premio de Baquets – an Argentine experience….
This one is for those of you who have seen and done it all – it is an exhausting rally that’s reminiscent of the very first crazy cross-continent races held between 4 or 5 countries back in the mid ’30s and ’40s when a devil-may-care attitude (and a Suixtil sponsorship) was the only thing carrying …

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 …

The Leaky Tap gets the grease – no, wait….
And there you have it… mixed metaphors simply don’t work. And still, there is much to be said about the Leaky Tap – the Kraantje Lek, in Dutch. Yes, it is a restaurant – located nor very far from the Zandvoort track, where F1 racers used to meet-up for a good time (or three) before, …

2nd edition of the Maus Gatsonides – Krantje Lek Revival
Held in the Netherlands in February, when the weather is not necessarily cooperating, this Rally organized by Alexander (our friend and distribution partner in Benelux) that rally is as much a friendship challenge as it is a fun driving day. We were fortunate that both Robbert Moree (our Dutch Ambassador, no less, traveling, in style, with …

Kitzbühel Alpen Rally – another great road adventure
Take two friends (Claude & Gino), put them at the wheel of an achingly beautiful Jaguar D-Type replica and launch them (in Suixtil) on the mountain roads of a little Austrian rally and what do you expect? Great pictures, and a lof of fun of course. We’re thrilled that Pilota, our selling partner in Belgium, managed …

The Carrera Paneuropeana – more Porsche fun in the sun
What’s the Paneuropenana? A rally of sort created by our friend Alex for Porsche (especially 911s and their sisters) lovers.

The object is also to avoid highways at all costs to, …
