In 2009, I was doing a six-month internship in Sydney, Australia, at Marketing Mechanics. Since Melbourne was really close, I bought tickets to the Australian Grand Prix. I arrived in a dirty and cheap hostel, and had a roommate from France, who was a huge Lewis Hamilton fan. I was reading a book from 2001 by […]

Shadow Puppets is good for Ender’s Game series addicts, albeit it’s quite fast-foody; fast, cheap, okay but that great. Card’s personal views about marriage are very present in this book (outside his books, he’s openly homophobic), but this shouldn’t bother you. If you’d only want to read books that agree with your personal view, your […]

Here’s a look at Coanda Simsport’s last year. Hours of sim racing compiled into three and a half minutes, with victories in the iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the titles in the NEO Endurance Series, the World Championship GP Series, and the Blancpain GT Series.

The man next to me took his phone from his shirt pocket and aimed it at the sun, which was setting into Mumbai’s bay. It was of no use; the sun, red and bright in front of our faces, was barely noticeable on his phone’s screen, reduced to a mere pixel. He threw his hands in […]

Ahead of the 1958 season, the team of Ferrari fielded three young and talented drivers, causing the Italian press to call them ‘La Squadra Primavera’ – The Spring Team. They were Luigi Musso from Italy, and Mike Hawtorn and Peter Collins from the United Kingdom. Yet, in less than 12 months, all three would have […]

Last weekend, eleven time Grand Prix winner Rubens Barrichello logged in on his computer from Brazil to compete in a simulator version of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, sharing the car with other drivers across the internet. In Argentina, reigning WTCC champion José María López did so too — together with almost two thousand […]

The book is strung together from short paragraphs, containing timeless principles to build wisdom upon. The 170 pages can be read quickly, unless you want to fully grasp the advice given, and visualise the battles and their implications in your mind. There’s no narrative, yet it’s if I’m taking a class and I’m in a […]

As a book it’s not perfect, but the lessons means this book is well worthy of a five star rating to me. The message of ‘wholesomeness’ makes sense of something I felt, but didn’t knew. Success is a merely the byproduct of wellbeing, and that one can’t chase success, but one can find wellbeing.

When I started blogging for Coanda Simsport, earlier this year, they where already one of the top simracing teams in the world, but yesterday, thanks to Martin Krönke, the world championship was clinched. I’m immensely proud to be a part of this team. To celebrate, here’s 937 laps from 16 races compiled into a season review!

There’s an increasing amount of stuff that makes our lives easier, all of it increasingly within hands reach. We get taught how to write essays, how to use hashtags, how to get your crush to like you. All within minutes and digestible steps. The risk of this is that we tend to focus on the easy […]

An answer to this question on Reddit. This was twenty years ago, I was seven. At school, the teacher asked whether any of us knew someone with an email address, I was the only kid in class who did. The next day I brought my dad’s email address on a piece of paper, and the […]

(Written on Quora). My best decision was to leave the advertising industry, back in 2014. I worked at an international agency back then, and it struck me how weird the industry was when our first television campaign went live on national television, for vitamin supplements. Instead of feeling proud, I felt confused: “Are this pills […]
