THE MOTORING-MAN BLOG

MOTOR RACING, CARS, TRAVEL & LIFE ON THE ROAD

Motoring-Man has always been about my enthusiasm for cars and motor racing, but there is another great passion in my life — travelling.

When I'm not working with the Motoring-Man archive, I spend much of my time travelling the world with a camera close at hand. Sometimes the journey takes me to a race circuit or motoring event; sometimes somewhere completely different.

This blog is where I record those journeys, the people and places I encounter, and increasingly, stories from the world of historic motor racing and the Motoring-Man photographic archive.

I hope you enjoy travelling along with me.
