Ted Longshaw Tribute



Founder of the BRCA and IFMAR, Ted Longshaw, recently passed away. Fueled by a genuine passion for the hobby, Longshaw worked tirelessly over decades to form organized, international RC racing.

Thanks to Nick Daman of RCRacingTV for putting together the above tribute piece.

RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF x Bangkok Ed.



Ever since we first saw (via Fatlace TV) the RWB Shop of Nakai-San, we've been fascinated with his work. Fortunately for us, that fascination seems to be spreading quickly. Watch the creation of another Nakai-San vision, this time for the streets of Bangkok.

Schuberth's 'Golden Twenties' for Schumacher






If you have deep pockets (or a Costanza-sized wallet, teeming with Euros), you can purchase this 1:1 replica of Michael Schumacher's 'Golden Twenties' helmet as designed and manufactured by Schuberth. Schumacher donned the special livery as he celebrated his 20th year in Formula 1 two weeks ago at the Gran Prix of Belgium/Spa, Francorchamps.

Vintage Sega Moto Champ




We found a link to this gem via Motorcycle 74. Above is footage of a vintage Sega Moto Champ arcade game, before Space Invaders (1978) arrived and changed the arcade landscape forever...fun stuff.

We're not big video gamers, but seeing some of the proverbial nuts and bolts of how a well-known, permanent racing venue is documented and recreated digitally for authentic game play is fascinating. The creatives at Forza Motorsport show some of the tricks they employ to make it happen.
