This is what it looks like when a 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder sells for $4.4Million (inclusive of buyer’s premium). Gooding’s sale of the Drendel Family Collection as part of this year’s Amelia Island auction had some marvelous Porsches, with several ex-Martini team cars, a 935, 962, and many other exotic Porsche racing models. 917/30-004 […]
We don’t often think of Ferrari’s machines as barchettas; they tended to be the big boys. But before Ferrari was all muscle, all the time, this slippery little slice of perfection with a body by Scaglietti had her share of successes on the track. RM Auctions is offering the remarkable example (chassis no.0492M) shown above […]
Guillaume sent in some of his excellent series of photos from this year’s Historic Spa Six Hours race. I wouldn’t call this magnificent event “under the radar”, but hot on the heels of Monterey week and Goodwood Revival, it’s certainly the more understated event in the autumn. Seeing Guillame’s shots, however, certainly reminds me that […]

After last week’s video of the field of the Bugatti BP at Monterey, Bradley wrote in with these shots he snapped of the Bugatti session at Watkins Glen a few years ago. Bradley says it was rain, but these black and white shots make it look like snow to me, which makes the shots all […]

Scarab Crash Photo Sequence
Well, the video may be gone for now, but thankfully, H.A.M.B. member Toner283 found these fantastic Dean Burnside-Machado photos. He was in the perfect spot at the perfect time. Notice how ‘Ol Yaller spins a full 360° through the center of this catastrophe without a touch and keeps on going. That must have been a […]
After seeing a second set of brilliant photography from Europe in the past couple of weeks (along with Laurent Nivalle’s fantastic LeMans Classic shots we featured last week), I’m convinced that—for all their faults—the big European tracks offer some simply spectacular angles for shooting the action on track and in the pits. Markus’ shots from […]

Talbot-Lago T26 in Action
A marvelous clip of a different car than the ex-Grignard example coming up for auction that we saw earlier, complete with wonderful Talbot history from Richard Pilkington. He highlights another aspect of this era that is so appealing. Take this grand prix car, add motorcycle fenders and a pair of headlights and—presto!—sportscar racing eligible car. […]
I made the trip down to the VSCDA’s Blackhawk Farms event this past weekend and had a wonderful time. This was, somehow, my first visit to the track and I enjoyed the laid-back environment and comfortable size of the place. This smaller track might be less suited to the big bangers than Road America, but […]
You’ll remember the panic that ran through the classic sportscar press last summer when David Love’s brakes went out as he rounded Laguna Seca during last year’s Monterey Historics. The car quickly met the wall and suffered an ugly black scar down her passenger side. I’m happy to report that David took the car to […]
