1936 - Roosevelt Raceway was built on Long Island, NY, to revive the historic Vanderbilt Cup auto race. It was a 4-mile road course with 16 unbanked corners including 10 tight hairpins. That year's race was won by Nuvolari.

Penske and Donahue. The ‘U.S. Racing’ patch on Roger's jacket is for the 1969 partnership between Penske & Carl Haas (plus Sunoco & Simoniz) to run 4-wheel-drive Lola T152s at Indy.

My submissions for the Art of Motoring Exhibition at the Iconic Images Gallery in Pall Mall this week. It’s free to go and see and has a number of the leading motoring artists showing their skill - and it also has me. Very chuffed to be invited to show my etchings.

1996 relived - CART announced it had served a complaint seeking confirmation of its right to use the IndyCar name and logo after IMS attempted to terminate that right. A major escalation of the split, beyond the competing races.

Who remembers when Tom Sneva drove the "Norton Spirit" for Roger Penske in 1976?
He started on the outside of the Front Row for the #Indy500.
This photo was from July at Michigan International Speedway...good looking car 🇺🇸

One of the highlight cars at Shelsley Walsh in recent seasons has been the GWR Raptor V8 2 litre of Johnathen Varley that's got two Yamaha R1 5-valve cylinder heads on a common crank case.
To push out 385hp when it weighs a mere 380kgs is just what British Hill Climbing is all about!
