This latest edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans posed a crucial question: would Ferrari achieve a fourth consecutive victory, following the wins of the #51 in 2023, the #50 in 2024, and the #83 last year?

For the 2026 edition, 25 LMGT3s were entered, including the 18 competing in the full WEC championship. This represents nine manufacturers involved: Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
In the first two rounds of the WEC, McLaren particularly stood out, narrowly missing victory at Imola in the final hour due to a mechanical failure, but winning at Spa.

The Ups and Downs of the Sleeve Valve Engine
By Pete Vack
From the VeloceToday Archives, July, 2010
For the 1923 French GP, French car builder Gabriel Voisin and his ‘spiritual son’ André Lefebvre, entered four highly advanced race cars equipped with a 2 liter six cylinder Knight sleeve valve engine, which was a mainstay of his fabulous line of luxury cars. But what is a sleeve valve engine, who was Knight and why did Voisin choose such a layout, straight from the American heartland?

For the past few years, the Villa d’Este Concorso has not been the only show in town as it now shares the limelight with Guglielmo Miani’s Fuori Concorso, which is held across three lakeside villas about a kilometer outside Como, all on the same weekend as Villa d’Este, (this year, May 16-17).

There are rallies that test you, rallies that impress you, and rallies that charm you. Then there is Terre di Canossa—the one that keeps pulling me back. This May, 7-10, marked my fourth time running in the event, and somewhere between the Ligurian coastline and the Apennine passes, I realized it has quietly become my favorite Italian motoring experience.

We received many correct answers on this one…And we thank all who responded. Seems that a lot of people remember Betty Skelton, and the first two readers to respond were John Dinkel and Bill Warner. Warner also recalled that her married name was Don Frankman.
Villa d’ Este 2026 Classes A-D
Story and photos by Jonathan Sharp
May 21-23 2026. It was the light that first struck me, My wife and I had arrived in Como the day before and it was hissing down but Saturday morning dawned bright and sunny and not too hot. Hotel Villa d’Este lies slap-bang on the shores of Lake Como about 2km from Cernobbio, and at the time I arrived all was quiet and serene with the sun glinting off the lake and the concours entrants parked mainly in the dappled shade of the trees. The Riva boats were bobbing gently in the hotel’s small marina, and parking an Alfa Romeo 2500 SS ‘Villa d’Este’ outside of the hotel’s gift shop…very classy. It was going to be a very good day.
