wow... the 1968 Le Mans effort of a Gulf Oil Ford GT 40 of John Wyer was filmed by the brake company Ferodo, and titled, "Don't start something you can't stop" Sir Stirling Moss narrates
Amazing! Just the lap that Moss narrates is very cool, and that is only a entry to the film! Found on http://silodrome.com/never-start-something-you-cant-stop/
oh man, this is incredible, I just found the 1956 one lap narrated by someone else, but he is going along while ordinary pedestrians and traffic are on the course!
I never imagened I've ever see the Tyrell ELF 6 wheel race car in person... you simply must get to all the car events possible and you'll be amazed at the vehicles you'll see in person
one of 6 made in the 1976-77 season
for a photo of it in the races: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/03/video-of-strange-6-wheeled-wonder-in.html
did you know that 2 of the highest quality car makers in the world are getting whipped at F1 by a soft drink company?
Red Bull Racing is beating Ferrari, Mercedes and Toyota
because they are winning so much, the equivalent cost of that level of advertising would be about 300 to 400 million dollars.
That is money that Red Bull doesn't have to spend on advertising you might realize
It costs about 300 million dollars to run their race teams, and Red Bull only has to provide about 150 million directly
So for the price of racing they get free advertising, basically. Or, they get to race for free while paying for advertising
about 70 percent of the cost of racing for Red Bull is research and development
The return on the racing team has been about 285 million dollars. Isn't that about 90 % of the cost? So it's really not too expensive with the amount they win. 88 million for winning the championship, 60 million from sponsorships
the real surprise is that in a 5 year stretch where Toyota won no races, it spent 1.5 billion on its F1 racing, and Reb Bull spent about half that
in 2004 Red Bull bought the Jaguar F1 team for a dollar from Ford, and in 2010 crowned Vettel the youngest ever F1 Champion, in 2011 set the record for the most pole positions (18) of any team in a single season... in 2005 Red Bull bought the Minardi team and renamed it Scuderia Toro Rosso, and tripled it;s profits in one year

how a car get designed sometimes is happenstance
John Cooper put the engine behind the driver, because when he built F3 cras, he used motorcycle engines and they connected to the drive wheels by chain.
Cooper cars dominated in F3, so the designer Owen Maddock took the concept to F1
things I learned from reading Vintage Racecar magazine, May 2013 issue
John Surtees, only person to win both the 2 wheel world championship and the 4 wheel world championship.
He won 7 motorcycle World Championships, and one Formula One World Championship in 1964,
it might have made headlines, however, John Campbell in the same year (the magazine says) set both land and water land speed records that year, and John Surtees accomplishments did not get the recognition due him.
Aston Martin was incorporated a 100 years ago, and this year the largest gathering of racing Astons will happen at Brands Hatch on July 6-7th
The Mac's IT Special was powered by a 2 cycle Rotax engine at all 4 wheels independantly
Aynton Senna won the 1988, 90, and 91 F1 World Championships, won 41 Gran Prix events, and made pole position 65 times, a record that stood for a decade until Michael Shumacher broke it.... and it all started with a 1 hp go kart his dad made him. With a lawn mower engine
Ettore Bugatti was so driven to win the 1925 Gran Prix, near Paris, at Montlhery, that he upgraded the type 35 to type 39's, made them full road spec, even having ballast to compensate for the lack of a passengers weight. Mid race refueling was not allowed, so they were fitted with oversize fuel tanks. Bugatti was so proud of them, he had a preview of the cars for the public the day before the race, at Strasbourg's Place Kleber
England now has more lions per square mile than Kenya
Lord Montagu inherited Beaulieu, a stately home according to Vintage Racecar magazine, but not a lot of money, so he made the estate the home to the National Motor Museum
An auction ring is when collectible companies attend auctions, and bid up the items to set the auction sales prices as high as they'd like to have the perceived value of their stock become. So if auctions seem to be setting prices, it's because the major media doesn't get numbers from private sales, they only get the prices that cars sell for at auctions, and thus, report the value of a make and model as having risen from the economic lows of 2008, 2009, to high numbers more in keeping with the trend toward investment grade rare items. Auction Ring. New idea to me, so beware.
Auction prices on the topic, here are some trends: American Muscle cars down 32 percent from the 2007 highs (no more million dollar superbirds, hemis, etc) Ferrari's are up 59 percent over the last 3 years, British cars are up 12%, postwar German cars are up 43 percent since 2006
