PLAYING THE FRAME GAME

Brooklands BEHIND THE SCENES • One of Britain’s most treasured motorcycle and car racing heritage sites is the subject of a new television series that’s due to be aired early this year. We got the inside information...

Smart’s South African sojourn • Early in 1971, Paul Smart and several other Brits raced in two pre-season, internationals in preparation for the new racing season. Riding a works Triumph, Smartie gave world champion Agostini and MV a bit of a wake-up call!

Peter Williams 1939-2020 • Thinking man’s racer, engineering innovator and inspirational role model, Williams leaves a legacy of turning maverick designs into winners on track

Ben Walker • As a lover of historic vehicles, Ben has his dream job as head of Bonhams motorcycle department – with all the barn finds and detective work into authenticity that it entails

ANGELO CAPROTTI and FILIPPO COLOMBO • These two gentlemen are hosts of the unique Dune Motor collection, dedicated to the thundering conquerors of the dune-covered wilderness – rally-raid bikes
