This Week, of Interest

September 1, 2011 By pete

VeloceToday is a bit late this week due to Hurricane Irene, which left us without a/c, power, Internet, telephone and water for several days, reminding us of what the 17th century Williamsburg was really like. Our thanks to the members of Dominion Power of Virginia, who have done wonders to restore service in record time.

Our many correspondents have also been working overtime to bring you the following stories this week:

Eric Davison wrote the Belgian Grand Prix report. Eric is a contributor to VeloceToday, the author of the recent book “Snake Bit: Carroll Shelby’s Controversial Series 1 Sports Car”, and as we’ll see later on, attended Watkins Glen in 1948 and recorded those early events with a color camera. That’s over 63 years of watching and reporting on races! Quite a guy.
Hugues Vanhoolandt attended the Belgian Grand Prix for VeloceToday and returned with stunning exclusive photos to accompany Eric’s text.

Brandes Elitch begins our coverage of Monterey week with a view of a Lancia Flaminia at Concorso Italiano. Two more to come from Brandes and next week, as well as much more from our other correspondents who covered Holy Week for us.

Roberto Motta brings us the latest Rally results from Germany with many great action shots, plus the news of the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider.

Alessandro Gerelli brings us his views of the Italians at the Oldtimers Grand Prix at the Nurburgring held in August.

Now, who could ask for anything more?
