Nowadays, F1 drivers are focused on F1 and F1 only, apart from the odd adventure Fernando Alonso undertook in 2017 as he entered the Indy 500 and allowed Jenson Button to take his place for the Monaco Grand Prix. Decades ago though, drivers would compete in multiple races on a single race weekend, all for […]
The Race To The Clouds is a very explanatory name for the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, one of the most daunting racing challenges in the world. It’s a 20km twisty mountain road that snakes up the mountain through 156 corners, starting at 1,440m of elevation, and running all the way to the top at 4,320m. […]
