August 2004 Champions Forever—The Formula One Drivers This 2002 DVD was originally titled the more lurid “Quick and the Dead” when it was first released in the 1970s, and it is truly a ’70s piece of motor racing nostalgia, with a considerable helping of bad taste. Stacy Keach, in typically...

You’ve certainly heard many of us here at Vintage Racecar lament the fact that today’s racecar drivers seem to be so homogenized and politically correct, as to be seemingly devoid of any kind of real character or personality. Perhaps even worse, however, so many of today’s drivers seem to combine...

“Sex – the breakfast of Champions” was the legend on the T-shirt the 1976 Formula 1 World Champion wore under his driving suit. Ex-public schoolboy irreverence that only partially sums up this deceptively talented, sophisticated and intelligent man. He personified that much overworked term charisma, but he was also an...

Mike Lawrence Last December, the Mail Online ran a piece on turkey rearing that highlighted cruelty. Two farmers were singled out for praise for the way they treat their birds, and one was Jody Scheckter. Jody’s considerable achievements in another life were not mentioned. I found this refreshing. We live...

One of the stars taking the green at this year’s Greenwich Concours, June 1-2, will be a very rare Ghia-bodied 1955 Jaguar XK140MC, one of just three built. With a flowing, hand-made aluminum body by Italian carrozzeria Ghia, the sleek coupe is substantially lighter than a stock XK 140. The...

Historics or Hysterics? Dear Editor, Bravo Harlan Halsey! A letter—actually a mini-article—over a page in length and I agree with all of it! Am I just mellowing, or does the dear man speak the truth? Look, I’m glad to see just about anything out on a road course. And I don’t want to...
