In 1966, the Simeone Museum’s GT40 Mark II ran at Le Mans with Alan Mann Racing, driven by Sir John Whitmore and Frank Gardner. It remains one of the most original GT40s in existence, tied to the year Ford achieved its historic 1, 2, 3 finish.

Hi all, on the 19th May 1976 BL launched the Triumph TR7 onto the UK Market. To mark this I've created a collage to celebrate 50 years of the TR7/8 in the UK. What you think?😊

Did you catch our Ford Supervan Mk1 announcement last week? 👀 What looks like a Transit hides a GT40-derived V8 and proper racing pedigree underneath, making it one of Ford’s most outrageous creations... and now it’s coming to Scalextric later this year. Available to reserve now 👉 bit.ly/4etmIgR

This Wilford Brimley “America Made the Indy 500” piece from the 2013 Indy 500 has always stuck with me. It’s just soooooo spectacularly well written. Give it a watch if you’ve never seen it or if it’s been awhile. 🇺🇸 #Indy500 #Indycar

Five days out from the 2026 #Indy500 .2015 myself & 30-some other guys were on the Turn 3 spotter stand when Hinch crashed. It took forever to get him out of the car . Saving his life was a miracle, and coming back to win the Pole for him & Sam in '16 was miraculous @Hinchtown

Just starting to set this up, but I've mocked up a poster just to see what it would look like. I had to feature one of my archive pictures of the great Jim Clark. @CJGrandPrix @arthistorynews @Delverie @GrandPrixDiary @dylanmichael77 @racinglotus @archivetvmus71 @aut0mob

30 years ago today, Ligier conquered Monaco. On May 19, 1996, Olivier Panis claimed an unforgettable victory at the Monaco Grand Prix behind the wheel of the Ligier JS43. A French driver. A French team. A historic Formula 1 win. #LigierAutomotive | #LigierF1

Great to see my Williams engineer, Neil Oatley, at book signing in RAC, London last night. Nowadays he’s at @McLaren ….

🇬🇧 1984 Lombard RAC Rally Car 2 Ari Vatanen and Terry Harryman’s chase crew for the 1984 event. This was Jean Todt’s Peugeot 205 T16. Many were rally drivers themselves so were more than capable to drive hard. Clearly most cars weren’t a 205 T16. What a car 👏🏻👏🏻 📸 Andrew Perkins 👏🏻👏🏻 #wrc #peugeot #rallycar #carporn

I can think of a few pretty good backup cars.

Spotted: Weekend Round-Up! 🏆 At Oulton Park, Jason Hughes was a double winner in his Vauxhall Vectra Super Tourer from Tony Absolom’s Cavalier. The demo sessions had some exotic & rare Super Touring cars in action 🏁 #TouringCarRewind | #OultonPark (📸©️D.Fowler & MK Rimmer)
