A few months ago, the magazine "Curbs" became the indirect successor to "Powerslide" and the third issue is already on sale. The focus of the reporting is on historic racing, with no ifs or buts. Accordingly, reviews of the most important events of the last two months take up a significant part of the magazine.
Hot race reviews
In the current issue, the Group B legends of Saalfelden, the Ennstal-Classic, the Silverstone Classic, the Eifel Rallye Festival, Schloss Dyck, the Spa Race Festival, the AVD Oldtimer Grand Prix (10 pages), the Zolder Race Festival and the Historic Grand Prix Zandvoort are examined in more detail and the driver's perspective is usually given a lot of weight. Further shorter event reports round off this section.
An article on the "Miracle of Reims" takes us to a completely different time, focusing on the first victory of the Mercedes Silver Arrows on July 4, 1954.
Historic racing cars
Historic racing cars are also important to the creators of Curbs, Michael Thier and Erich Kahnt. In the current issue, the Arrows A4, a Formula 1 monoposto from the "Wing Car Era" is portrayed and the Mercedes Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evo II from the DTM is examined.
The insights into the Karringer Formula Vau entry-level racing cars are also interesting. Marc Surer also once drove one of these cars.
Up close to the racing driver
A driver portrait of the incredibly likeable racing driver Roland Asch rounds off the magazine and the article on the Mercedes 190E Evo II.
In addition to the Mercedes racing cars, Asch also drove a lot in the Porsche and, at the beginning of his career, in the Ford Escort and Sierra.
Classifieds and categories
If you are looking for a sporty car, you might find it in the classifieds section, which is organized in cooperation with zwischengas.com.
In addition, the Porsche 356 B Carrera GTL "Abarth" model car from Minichamps receives a two-page tribute.
And lots of little notes and a few anecdotes from Rainer Braun make the new Curbs magazine a welcome read now that the evenings are getting longer and the days shorter.
