    New Karl Ludvigsen Book

    Back in 1977, Karl Ludvigsen wrote what I think many people consider the seminal book on Porsche, titled "Excellence was Expected". Obviously, a lot has transpired since then in the world of cars and racing. I just saw on another website that a new, three-volume edition of the book is due out...

    New Road Racing Specials Book

    For anyone out there whose racing interests extend to road race specials built here in the States, Vintage Motorsport magazine has just published a new book on the subject. It is actually a compilation of a ten-part series the magazine did back in 1992. If you are interested in cars like the...

    Briggs Cunningham is gone

    We lost an American racing pioneer yesterday when Briggs Cunningham succumbed to the effects of Alzheimer's disease. I hope the racing community takes a moment out to recall the many contributions of this classy man, who gave so much to the sport out of pure love for competition and things...

    Anyone using a removable steering wheel?

    My GTD has a Mountney-style wheel...it seems that a removable wheel would make ingress/egress so much simpler. Is anyone using one? Any details--where you purchased it, any tips for installation, etc.--are greatly appreciated...

    Differences in GTD kits?

    Goodwood Video

    The video of the 2002 Goodwood Revival Meeting is now available from Goodwood. In past years this meet has been televised on Speedvision in the USA, but since the switchover to Speed Channel they apparently dropped it, as I don't believe the 2002 event was aired. Anyhow, a 2 hour 45 minute...

    GTD Build Manual, anyone?

    Hello folks, I have been lurking around this site for quite a while, but this is my first post. I registered the other day after acquiring an Essex-Wire liveried GTD from a good friend. It is a beautiful car and needs nothing currently, but I am bothered by the fact that I don't have any kind...
