Grand Prix

Undoubtedly one of the all time best racing movies. If you have any race fans to buy for this holiday season make sure Grand Prix is on your list.

Put Him in the Wall

I can't help but laugh my ass off when I see these commercials. Instant classics! I especially love the whole Grand Prix vibe they put in it with the split screens and camera angles.

Que Bella!

How can you not love this new Shell ad? I can't think of anything that sounds as beautiful as an F1 car.

Imagine how complicated and costly something like this was to film. When you take into consideration the logistics and red tape of shooting in so many different international locations you can't help but appreciate the ad even more.

Sebring 2007

What an incredible weekend! Sebring holds a special place in my heart and this year was no different. The heart thumping finish of the GT2 class above says it all.

I was also on hand to proudly witness my brother-in-law Pierre Kleinubing battle his way to a third place finish in the World Challenge Touring Car season opener in his RTR Acura TSX. Congratulations Pierre! Here's to a repeat championship performance of last year.



The victory champagne also flowed for my friend Charlie Scardina who not only nailed the pole position for the IMSA GT3 Cup race but kept the field at bay to finish first. Best of luck to Charlie for the rest of the series. He may be as rookie but I know he'll do well.

Homestead, FL Ferrari Challenge

This time of year is nirvana for racing fans here in Florida. We have world class concours seemingly every weekend and the racing season gets underway.

I was fortunate enough this past Saturday to catch the Ferrari Challenge down at our local track in Homestead. In addition to the Challenge race there was an incredible sea of Ferraris basking under the 80 degree sunshine with nary a cloud to be seen.

The highlight of the day was watching the F1 cars with my son. If you've never experienced F1 in person you need to add it to the short list of things to do before you die. It's guaranteed to send chills down your spine.
