Iconic F1 2000 Michael Schumacher for sale: $ 7.500.000 +

28-Mar-2023

One of the most iconic Ferrari F1 cars is for sale at RM Sotheby's in April: the F1 2000 #198. In 2000 Michael Schumacher won his third F1 World Champion title, but the first one with Ferrari. This car was one of the cars that brought the world championship back to Ferrari since 1979. Serving initially as the Scuderia’s spare car, it was entered in four races: Brazilian Grand Prix (Q: 3rd, 1st position), Spanish Grand Prix (Q: pole & 5th position), Monaco Grand Prix (Q: pole & DNF) and Austrian Grand Prix (Q: 3rd, DNF). After its race career the car was completely rebuilt in Maranello. In March of 2001, the car was displayed at the Geneva Motor Show on Ferrari’s stand and subsequently sold to Ferrari collector Kevin Crowder of Texas, who had the car Ferrari Classiche certified in 2005 and prepared for use in F1 Clienti events. The current owner purchased chassis 198 in 2016, and has also driven it in several Ferrari Corse Clienti events. RM Sotheby's sells the car at an online auction from 3-12 april 2023. The car is estimated at a price of $ 7.500.000 - $ 9.000.000.

Porsche GT2 RS Max Verstappen for sale

22-Mar-2023

A Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport (VIN: WP0ZZZ99ZKS197050) said to have been owned by current Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen is for sale at a Ferrari dealer in Phoenix, Arizona. The price is a cool $795,000 (£650,000). Porsche describes the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport as “the most powerful, non-street legal, GT customer sports we’ve ever built” – pointing to its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, which produces 690bhp at 7000rpm. Only 200 were produced, including this one, which was delivered new to Max Verstappen and maintained by the Red Bull Formula One racing team. The Porsche features in Whatever it Takes the 2020 documentary about the Dutch driver. The GT2 RS Clubsport is an uncompromising car, with a chassis designed for the track and extensive use of carbon-fibre on the body to reduce the weight to 1390kg. That’s 80kg lighter than the road-going GT2 RS. It’ll complete the zero to 62mph sprint in just 2.7 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 200mph. Further highlights include an integrated safety cage, removable roof section in the roof, Recaro racing seats, six-point safety harness, 115-litre safety fuel cell and front/rear towing loops. Little wonder Verstappen used it as a training car. It’s not the first time the Porsche has been for sale. In February 2021, it was available via the Dutch GP Elite team for €399 plus taxes, having covered 1200km (745 miles). Today, there are 2185 miles on the clock. That’s quite a mark-up in two years, but the car does have the provenance of Verstappen’s signature on the front lid, dashboard and engine block. The dealer says he signed the car at the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix.

2nd Edition ICE St Moritz, how 'cool'

28-Feb-2023

In 1985, a group of Scottish and British sportsmen drove to St.Moritz with their Vintage Bentleys to celebrate the Cresta Run’s centennial. Part of the celebration was held by driving their cars around the horse-racing track over the frozen lake of St.Moritz. Among the stunned onlookers was Marco Makaus, and this scene fired his imagination and kept burning for many years. In 2019 his plan became reality and a test edition of the 'Concours of Elegance on Ice' was held. Over the two Covid years the concept and project were refined and in February 2022 the first edition of The I.C.E. St.Moritz was held and was a big success. After the 2022 edition, upon request of both audience and participants, the programme was over two days: Friday and Saturday. The Friday programme was a static car show based on the “Parc Fermé” where all the cars were displayed to the public and the Jury. On the Saturday the cars were driven on the lake course allowing the judges to assess not only the cars, but also the pairing with their driver. After this the announcement of the winners took place. Compared to other concours events, The ICE St. Moritz is entirely different. It’s part Goodwood and part Cold Balls one of the few places in the world where you can see open-wheeled single seaters hanging it out in a frozen landscape. This year 48 cars participated and around 11.000 car enthusiasts visited the event. Awards 2023: Best in show: Lancia Stratos Zero (1970, sn C1160) Open wheels: Maserati 420M/58 “Eldorado Special” (1958, sn 4203) Barchettas on the Lake: Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II (no data) Le Mans 100: Ferrari 250 Test Rossa 'Lucybelle' (1957 sn 0732TR) Concept cars and One-offs: Lancia Stratos Zero (1970, sn C1160) Looking foreward to the 2024 edition, probably we will be present then :-)

Founder starts sponsor campaign to raise money for further AutoWiki development

28-Nov-2022

Our founder, car enthusiast Lodewijk Beijst, has started a sponsor campaign in The Netherlands to raise money for the AutoWiki Foundation needed for further development of the AutoWiki platform. Recently AutoWiki has started the second phase of the development of the platform and extra funding is needed. "In the first stage we focussed on the back end of the platform, creating the website, the database and all functionalities and making sure everything works", Lodewijk says. "In this second stage we will focus on the front end, making the website better looking, more user friendly and more intuitive. In addition new features will be added such as a 'owner groups' and a chat tool, so owners of specific models from all over the world can meet and can communicate with each other. Of course, we will also keep on working on the back end of the system. For instance, it will become more and more intelligent, so that datafields will be filled automatically based on newly added data. There is enough to do." AutoWiki Foundations is a non-profit organization and is complety dependant on donations. Click this link to see Lodewijks sponsor campaign at Steunactie.
