Traditionally, the endurance racing season kicks off with one of the most legendary races in history, the Daytona 24 Hours, or rather the Rolex 24 at Daytona. This year’s edition also ushered in the era of the Le Mans Daytona hybrid class or LMDh for short. A new top-tier category of cars that welcomes iconic […]
There’s no denying that “Boys and their Toys” is still pretty much a thing in today’s society. It’s also a given fact that watches, cars, and especially the combination of the two, still very much works. There’s of course a long-standing relationship between the automotive industry and watchmaking, whether it’s mechanical, quartz or fully digital. […]
French auction house Artcurial, a real rising star in the field of vintage car auctions (even though that’s far from all they do), has recently released its catalogue for the upcoming Retromobile 2023 auction and event in Paris.

He rose to fame through a series of YouTube videos […]
Few names get car people going as much as Alfa Romeo. The Italian carmaker has a storied history and has created some of the most advanced and amazing machines ever conceived. Cars like the legendary Alfa Romeo 6C and 8C, the beautiful Giulia and Giulietta, the wild Bertone B.A.T. cars… the list is truly endless. […]
Our weekly episodic column known as the Petrolhead Corner started from the shared passion between several members of the MONOCHROME editorial team for all things car- and bike-related.

Given Audi’s monstrous reputation in rallying, you might not have realised 2023 marks only the second year the German car manufacturer is entering the gruelling Dakar event as a factory team.

There’s not often genuine, exciting car news coming from the small country of the Netherlands. That’s basically down to the fact we do not have a car manufacturing culture like some countries around us.
