Some of you may have already seen this clip elsewhere, but I'm the one who originally clipped this from a Goodwood video coverage from 2014.

No. 28 there is a rare Maserati V8RI, the first Grand Prix car with a V8 engine, and that particular car is the first (out of only four) V8RI built, driven by Andy Wolfe. No. 29 is a Maserati 4CLT, driven by Klaus Lehr. Lehr emerged from it unscathed, and is still racing to this day with his cars...

He was also the last living driver who raced at the 1955 Le Mans 24 Hours

Just like the Constantinopolitan churches that served as a model for it, St. Mark's is also bound to be lavishly decorated, so the facade surely didn't stay like this for too long...

Some of the present decorations were known to be loot from the Fourth Crusade. But, some of the spolia also came from other locations. Some were taken from other ruins near Venice, like from Altinum and/or Aquileia, or at various buildings in Dalmatia, for example ( I am composing a post related to this). Then, the Venetian workshop responsible for the decorations were also known to make copies. Apparently, their copies were so faithful to the original pieces that even today, it is very difficult to tell them apart...

Last moment drama at the Grid A1 race at the 15th Historic Grand Prix of Monaco yesterday...

Polesitter Richard Bradley in his 1939 Maserati 4CL (no.30) is seen on the first picture seizing the lead at Casino square after a poor start on the opening lap of the race from Patrick Blakeney-Edwards (no.42 Frazer-Nash Monoposto). Afterwards, he proceeded to open up a gap and post the fastest race lap. It looks like he had the race in the bag...

But on the last lap, I started to notice on the livestream that the Maserati started to misfire on the corners that got worse as he plied onwards to the finish line. Until the car stopped at the pit entry, within earshot of the finish line. Blakeney-Edwards took a surprise win in the Frazer-Nash, with Brad Baker finishing in 2nd place in his ERA (no.24). Third place went to Alex Read, driving Brad Baker's Bugatti Type 51 (no.14).

The last pictures show Bradley congratulating Blakeney-Edwards on the slowing down lap.
