In the early 90’s Mr. Weeks again moved with his family, this time on to New Zealand and reluctantly sold the car to Mr. David Crookes. Mr. Crookes stated “At the time I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted one driving around our local village. Owned by Stuart Weekes, the local Nissan dealer principal whom I knew quite well since we ran Nissans on the farm then”. Once acquired Mr. Crookes stored the B20 for 15 years before commencing the restoration process. The car was stripped to a bare shell.

UBICACIÓN: 3º con Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 - Acompañante: Zanardi. NÚMERO: 730. En el año 1949 Fangio había estado a punto de competir en las tradicionales Mil Millas por invitación del ingeniero Alessio, Director Deportivo de Alfa Romeo. Esa posibilidad no se pudo concretar.

Su acompañante es Augusto Zanardi, mecánico de Alfa Romeo. La ruta que atraviesa pueblos y ciudades por zonas montañosas del centro y norte de Italia, es casi desconocida para Fangio.

  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

  • La Carrera Panamericana 2020
    La Carrera Panamericana 2020 To all our media friends, It is a pleasure for the Organizing Committee of La Carrera Panamericana to be in contact with you for the 33rd Edition of its modern era in such a special year when we celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the first checkered flag in 1950. As you know, La Carrera was created for the inauguration of the Panamerican Highway in the section that corresponded to our country, the route ran from Ciudad Juarez to El Ocotal on the border with Guatemala. This year we will go through the "Legendary Stage", where great drivers such as Hersel McGriff, Piero Taruffi, Karl King, Juan Manuel Fangio, Umberto Maglioli, Felice Bonetto, Hans Hermann, among others, traveled the mythical Highway 45 and wrote part of the history of world motoring. This year's route is designed to cover 689 km of speed stages instead of the 616 km of last year. This represents a unique opportunity to revive the legend in all its breadth. Without any doubt, we have spent a year like no other, so we will carry out a "Safe Race" for which the Organizing Committee has developed the Safety and Health Measures Protocols based on the National Guidelines for the Reopening of the Tourist Sector and those of the National Rally Commission (CNRM) for the health requirements for the registration park in Oaxaca and during the race track guaranteeing health priority in conjunction with the magic and splendor that is experienced in each edition. In the following days we will send you the respective logistics for Oaxaca in the Registration Park as well as those each of the Closed Finish Arches where we will have restricted access.

Fangio con una muy andada Maserati 4CL, corre ese día en el Circuito de Palermo, en la Categoría denominada Autos Especiales. La Temporada tiene continuidad y obtiene un quinto lugar en Mar del Plata, luego de lo cual da un importante paso en Rosario donde es invitado por Amadeo Gordini, para integrar su equipo con el as francés Jean Pierre Wimille. Allí Fangio, con una Simca Gordini, sorprende al liderar por un momento la competencia y marcar el Récord de Vuelta en carrera. A su regreso a Francia, Wimille habla del futuro: “...He conocido en Argentina a un piloto, que el día que tenga una buena máquina en sus manos, dará que hablar...”. Viaja a Estados Unidos y a Europa invitado por el Automóvil Club Argentino y el Gobierno, en misión de estudio de la industria automotor y para analizar la posibilidad que le podría caber a un equipo nacional de competición en el exterior. Sin proponérselo, corre por primera vez en ese continente el 18 de julio en Reims, con un monoposto Simca Gordini 1430. Durante la temporada 1948 alterna compitiendo, en nuestro país en la categoría Mecánica Nacional con su Volpi-Chevrolet, y en la categoría Turismo Carretera, con la cupé Chevrolet 1939 color rojo, motor 1946. Con esta máquina participa en el Gran Premio de América del Sur, posiblemente la más importante competencia del historial de TC ya que une Buenos Aires con Caracas - Venezuela, sufre un terrible accidente en que pierde la vida su acompañante y amigo, Daniel Urrutia.

  • Presentazione Circuito Del Te 2016 Partecipanti
    www.amams.org www.facebook.com/CircuitodelTeMantova 1 PRESENTAZIONE I più non sanno che Mantova svolse un ruolo preminente nello sviluppo e diffusione degli sport motoristici. Già agli inizi del 1900 infatti, ovvero agli albori del cosiddetto motorismo sportivo, a Mantova si può parlare di automobili, di piloti, di corse o, meglio, di maratone, di riunioni sportive e perfino espositive, prodromi dei più recenti “motor-show ”: nel 1899, il primo concorso di dirigibilità per vetture in Piazza Virgiliana, nel settembre 1900, il barone Alberto Franchetti partecipa arrivando terzo alla prima maratona d’auto italiana (la Brescia -Cremona-Mantova-Verona-Brescia), nel 1903 la prima gara di motociclette sulla pista del Te ideata dal “Pedale mantovano”, nel 1905 uno dei primi “motor -show” italiani al Mercato de’ Bozzoli in cui artigiani mantovani presentano prototipi di piccoli motori e infine l’epifania di Roberto Vaccari, l’autodidatta che nel 1906 diviene uno dei primi campioni italiani di motociclismo in sella ad una motocicletta di sua costruzione, così come sono sue le modifiche apportate alla Diatto portata in pista al Circuito di Bologna del 1908. In pratica, il primo modello di pilota italiano. A conferma di questa prematura passione, il primato che la provincia mantovana detiene alla vigilia dello scoppio della Grande Guerra: è la quarta per numero di immatricolazioni di auto e moto. Ma ora possiamo affermare che il motivo di questa bruciante e precoce passione dei mantovani per il rombo dei motori, è noto: da uno studio condotto proprio da Amams “Tazio Nuvolari”, Mantova, a part ire dalla metà dell’Ottocento manifesta la presenza di un DNA tecnologico spiccato di cui Tazio Nuvolari altro non è che l’emblema e il risultato più eclatante.
