For more than a hundred years, Rolls-Royce had been considered a timeless icon in the automobile history, presenting a graceful design flow, sweeping audiences off their feet with outstanding lines and surfaces. This time we take a look at a bit different affairs that got our attention.
Rolls-Royce’s products had been named “the cars of monarchy” many times, especially such ones as the Phantom IV (used during Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation) and other exclusive, famous vehicles. Today, when someone steps into the Post Oak Motor Cars Rolls Royce & Bentley showroom in Houston, they are usually very surprised to find out that this place is so much more than just a car dealership; it is a true art gallery where the paintings and sculptures had been replaced by the beautiful “Dawn”, “Wraith”, “Ghost Series” and the well-known historic car – the Phantom, all representing a different expression in fine arts by the virtuosi designers, scientists, engineers and craftsmen at Rolls-Royce.

How To Save The Formula 1 Show
Formula 1 is facing a fall of popularity. Since 2008, the motorsport category has lost around 200 million viewers. But not only that, attendance to the races has also dropped. Indeed, Sebastian Vettel, the four-time world champion has blamed expensive tickets and reduced engine noise to explain this phenomenon. However, it is important to bear in mind that the drop in viewing figures also affects the assistance to the tracks. Malaysian Grand Prix will stop hosting the race after 2018. Canadian GP is not guaranteed either, despite Lance Stroll signing with Williams. Singapore Grand Prix is expected not to renew the contract with FIA, holding the last race next year. As if that was not enough, Brazil, German and British GP’s future hang by a thread. But since there is no point in crying over spilt milk, here there are some advice FIA could follow in order to enhance the sport’s popularity and figures.

Date With Destiny
Bernard Ecclestone turned 86 in October. For more than 40 years he has been at the top of Formula 1; calling the shots, single-handedly negotiating some very difficult patches that would have no doubt defeated others decades younger and making boat loads of money along the way for everyone involved in the process.
