What is happening in the world of classic car racing? YouTube, pictures, news, stories.
A book details the 40 years of Prodrive, the driving force behind Subaru’s rallying success and Aston Martin’s victorious GT racers, and many more. A book of just 192 pages, isn’t that a bit short?

Own 25 masterful photographs from the lavish McKlein motorsport archive, in large format. Oh yes, and know what day of the month it is as well. McKlein’s 2025 Motorsport Classic calendar is a great gift.
It was surprising news, a couple of weeks ago, when Rétromobile and duPont Registry announced there would be a USA edition of the classic Paris show in 2025 as well. ‘Why?’, we asked Rétromobile chief Romain Grabowski.
Masters Historic Racing has announced the 2025 calendar, which consists of eight rounds. For the final rounds of the season, Masters Historic turns to the Middle East, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Nineties 3.5-litre F1s appear in a demo series, and there is a new focus on Group C prototypes.
