“The Ferrari 250 GTO Speaks for Itself” is a short film by our fellow gasoline-sniffing friends over at Petrolicious. As with all Petrolicious productions, this film is a glimpse into the life of a person and a machine – in this case Derek Hill and a stunning 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO. Derek won the Ferrari Challenge International Championship in 1995 and the Formula Dodge West Coast in 1996, he also raced a Bugatti EB110 at Le Mans.
Oh, and his father is former Formula 1 world champion Phil Hill.

Shriners have entertained the public on Memorial Day parades for decades, they often wear a fez and drive miniature motorized cars in…

The one-of-one “RUF RSR” as it’s become known over the past 30+ years was lauded in the book The World’s Fastest Cars in 1989. Since that time the horsepower has been increased from 400 bhp to over 700 bhp thanks to an ever increasing series of upgrades that, we hope, will continue far into the…
