If you’re a fan of yachting, as well as racecars, then your interest may have recently been piqued with the grand unveiling of two high-end yachts from two well-known racing nameplates.

In early July, Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing made a dramatic debut of a new, jointly developed “Hypercar.” Dubbed the AM-RB 001, this collaborative effort saw famed F1 designer Adrian Newey turn his prodigious skills toward the creation of an F1-inspired supercar for the road. According to Newey, “I’ve...

As you’ll read in this month’s Racecar Profile, I was given a rare opportunity to drive one of the ultimate iterations of the Can-Am car, the championship-winning Shadow DN4. As you’ll also read, the thought of driving this car scared the crap out of me! Over the past 20 years...

The tragic death earlier this year of Jules Bianchi has reignited an on-again, off-again discussion of whether Formula One cars should move to a closed-cockpit configuration. While it may seem a minor—or perhaps even obvious—decision, it is not without controversy. Looking over just the last 30 or so years of...
As you’ll see from the extensive coverage, on both sides of the magazine this month, this year’s Monterey Car Week...
I wrote in this space, last month, that racecar drivers are just like us in that they too are human...
