  • Motorworld Motorworld
    Motorworld Motorworld Motorworld Motorworld Motorworld Motorworld by Unknown Motorworld Motorworld Italy I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to stay in many truly outstanding hotels where obsequious waiters compete for your attention with the view – hard when it’s Hong Kong harbour, San Francisco Bay or St Mark’s. But my favourite is the Locanda del Sant’ UffizioDa Beppé in Asti, where I stayed when we were filming the Fiat Coupé for Top Gear. It’s a beautiful building, the food is as good as you’ll eat anywhere and the owner redefines the concept of friendliness. Here’s a man who would very probably stick his tongue down your throat if you ever went back for second helpings. But I enjoyed my fourday stay there most of all because over lunch, on the second day, we shared the dining room with an Italian family. I’m not talking here about a bearded father in grey shoes, a woman called Janet in Marks and Spencer’s finest and two children. I’m not talking about the nearsilence that accompanies most British family days out. No, here we had granddad and grandma, her mother, their six children, various inlaws and an indeterminate number of grandchildren. It was impossible to say how many exactly because they were never all at the table at the same time – they’d get one seated and another would be off, making tyresquealing noises round the dessert trolley. It was a huge feast which appeared to have been ruined as the eighth course was being cleared.

  • The Day They Stole the World Champion
    The day they stole the World Champion Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa went to Latin America both desperate to become World Champion, but their sole focus was the on-track battle. Fifty years earlier the great Juan Manuel Fangio had felt much the same way as he journeyed to Cuba to take part in a sports car Grand Prix organised by the dictator Fulgencio Batista (below). But that was when all hell broke loose… By Joe Saward Grand Prix + 29 Batista was one of those dictators who employed any means possible to stay in power, and yet he still wanted the world to think the best of him. He was an experienced player, having become the strong man in Cuban politics after a coup d’etat in 1933. To begin with he stayed in the background but by 1940 he had given up all pretence and become president. His regime was openly doing business with mobsters such as Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese and the man credited with inventing money-laundering, Meyer Lansky, but the United States was happy to support him as it meant that the government of Cuba was stable and, crucially, anti-communist. Batista was ousted in a free election in 1945 but returned to power in 1952 having masterminded another coup d’etat. The one- party election that followed served only to increase opposition, although it was wary of him as there was a tendency for dissenters to be gunned down in the streets or simply to disappear. Protests were dealt with using increasing violence and Batista suspended some of the basic freedoms laid down in the constitution and imposed strict censorship on the media.

  • Havana's Forgotten Treasures
    newsroom History Jul 19, 2016 Havana’s forgotten treasures In search of hidden Porsche gems: A four-day road trip worthy of the silver screen. Frosty relations between the United States and Cuba have finally thawed after more than half a century. Yet in spite of the rapprochement, Cuba remains a mystery. A harmless appointment at the Porsche Club in Havana almost turns into a spy thriller. Havana, 1962. Prologue. The Porsche armada rolls past the walls of the Malecón. The 1.5-liter engines of the 356s leave the 3-liter engines from Italy and the 5-liter behemoths from the United States in the dust. The crowd gawks and cheers, celebrating the small, agile race cars from Germany. In the end, two Porsche 356 Speedster GTs score a sensational one-two finish in the last international auto race held in Cuba. Seems like a place that time has forgotten 2016. Cuba’s isolation is a thing of the past; the embargo is coming to an end. Yet Cuba’s capital Havana still seems like a place that time has forgotten. There’s a thin line between desperation and hope here. The search for the island’s Porsche treasures becomes an exercise in patience, with tight-lipped informants, secretive messages, long drives, locked steel gates, and bizarre surprises. The putative Porsche Club Cuba no longer exists. The names of the owners of the few, well-hidden models from Zuffenhausen are guarded like state secrets, yet giving up is not an option. The task involves driving hundreds of miles across the country, shaking countless hands, and conjuring up smiles in spite of growing exhaustion: ¡Todo bien! It’s all good! It’s a grueling roller coaster of emotions.

  • Avant Ernesto Che Guevara Et Le Pape François, Il Y Eut Fangio, Également Argentin…
    Avant Ernesto Che Guevara et le pape François, il y eut Fangio, également Argentin… Par Michel Porcheron L’un n’avait ni voiture ni permis, le deuxième roule debout à bord d’une automobile blindée et le troisième a passé sa vie au volant de Maserati, Ferrari, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo… Si on vous dit que l’un portait un béret noir, que le deuxième se sépare rarement de sa calotte blanche et que le troisième était, dans son baquet, affublé d’un casque règlementaire ? Nos trois hommes, réunis pour la (bonne) cause, ont compté dans la vie de la révolution cubaine, joué même un rôle majeur. Leur point commun, ils sont tous les trois Argentins. De la même génération. Vingt-cinq ans à peine séparent le plus jeune de l’aîné. Ces trois héros de notre podium argentin ? Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, plus connu sous le nom de « Che », né à Rosario en 1928, le pape François, né Jorge Mario Bergoglio à Buenos Aires (1936) et Juan Manuel Fangio, de Balcarce (1911), on l’appelait Fangio, le plus souvent on ignorait son prénom. Moss, c’était Sterling Moss, Senna, Ayrton Senna…Pour toute la planète (ou presque) il fut le premier grand champion de l’histoire de la course automobile. Il remporta cinq fois le titre de champion du monde des conducteurs de F1, entre 1951 et 1957. Il remporta le Premier Grand Prix de Cuba en 1957. Il est le seul à avoir formidablement aidé la révolution… à son insu… Il n’y mit jamais de bâtons dans ses roues.

In the case of Cuba’s economic growth, the rise and dominance of the country as an important producer and supplier of commodities (sugar cane and tobacco being the most notable) appears to be a point of origin for the development of transportation systems (both rail and shipping).
