#2176 OLDTIMER
Am I ready for an oldtimer? I always loved driving around in old cars. They have so much character and a unique design. Something modern cars lack. Don’t get me wrong, my RS3 is perfect. But that’s the thing. It’s too perfect. It’s lacking character. It’s lacking the “slow down…

#2174 OLDTIME RALLY
The “Franken Classics” is an oldtimer rally that takes place around June every year in the region I live. If I was checking out the cars? Of course! I always try to do two things. The first one is to pick a location where the cars will be parked up…

#2028² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E12 – NEW SEASON
There is a new season coming up on the horizon. Isn’t this a wonderful thing? One thing ends, but another one begins? Let’s not get too sentimental here. It’s just human beings racing against each other in circles. It’s really pointless if we think about it. The new season will…

#2012² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E11 – BACK ON THE SIMULATOR
Yes, I did it again. I switched on the racing simulator, let the updates run through and started to climb behind the steering wheel. I am not saying that I haven’t missed it. It’s great to be back behind the wheel. But without me being healthy completely, I am not…

#1968² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E9 – NOT MUCH GOING ON
With my new no simulator policy, my racing life is kind of dead. Sure, I watch some racing here and there, but there is not much going on these days. Most of the summer seasons are over by now. The only thing that is still on going is formula one.…

#1954² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E8 – WATCHING MOTORSPORT
Without the simulator there is only one thing left to get my weekly dose of motorsport, watching it online. Motorsport isn’t what it was used to be. Times have changed. I am not saying that it’s moving in a negative direction! The accessibility as a fan is as good as…

#1939² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E7 – NO SIMULATOR
My decision has been made. I will stop using the simulator for a while. The reason is something I carry around with myself for years. I have decided to take things serious. My health should be the number one priority. That’s why I will invest my time into something different.…

#1926² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E6 – LEARNING
It’s been a while! Since the early days of the automobile racing was a part of the story. But even though the racing is over a hundred years old already, there is still so much room for improvements. While the early days were full of innovations and new technology, safety…

#1912² RACING IS LIFE² – S11 E5 – DRIVER TRAINING – PART IV
This will be the last part regarding my driver training! I promise! So let’s keep it short! Here are my final thoughts! #1 The driver training was not really a “training”. It was an evaluation process to find out if we are capable of driving or not. So I haven’t…
