It didn't take long for motorsports to overcome European barriers and, within a few years, there were races in different parts of the globe. The main one of these 'outside' races in the early racing years was the Vanderbilt Cup, with European and American drivers converging on New York to measure their strengths, in the first cultural exchange provided by motorsports. This was the case, with the various editions of the race between 1904 and 1916, and, later, with the two more events in the 1930s. But, then, a long silence. The Vanderbilt Cup would have to wait a few decades to regain its luster. And, in 1960, the day came for the pioneering race of American motorsports to make headlines once again. It was the moment for the rebirth of a legend.

The 1965 Sunday Mirror Trophy had a bittersweet taste for those who last (officially) witnessed the friendly F1 cars on the charming British circuit of Goodwood. At the same time, it was a sign that the new times called for greater safety and care when carrying out single-seater races, but on the other hand it was a melancholic farewell to a place that had contributed so much to the valorisation of the category on the British Isles.

Despite the field once again having shrunk a bit compared to previous years, the Spa Six Hours remains an event that attracts people – both on and off the track. After six hours of multiple cars sustaining heavy damage and a barrage of safety cars, the 2025 edition was ultimately won by the Ford GT40 shared by Portuguese-British duo Diogo Ferrão and Martin Stretton, the latter managing to hold off the remarkably quick Ginetta G4R of Danish trio Pedersen/Weiss/Kjaergaard despite a splash-and-dash at the end.
