Auto Italia
It looked like a good day for Auto Italia at Brooklands last weekend. Bianco were there with Andy Hancock’s Grove & Dean sponsored 156. Peter Smart also made an appearance with his Class C 75 3.0 V6 which we hope to see at some point this year.

Google Glass
For those that haven’t heard of Google Glass, it’s a wearable computer (Glasses) with an optical head-mounted display. It displays things like navigation, music and much more in a smartphone-like hands-free format. Below shows a great use of the camera feature for an IndyCar team during a pitstop and just about the closest thing you’ll ever get to a driver’s eye view.
Donington
It looks as if it’s going to be a damp weekend at Donington so don’t forget your brolly! For this round we are planning on featuring the live updates on the homepage rather than the event page to make it quicker and easier to find during the sessions. Visit alfaracer.com for live timing and twitter updates throughout the weekend.
Keep an eye on the Donington Event for the latest info leading up to the race.
If we missed anything and you’d like to be included, make sure you let us know via twitter, facebook or by emailing Matt Daly.
